I wish I had the time or inclination to pluck a few first season RODRI quotes from here, but I have some toe lint that needs removal.
It is exasperating to see a player who is new to the team and the system, yet plays for a top, top Portuguese team alongside Ruben & Bernardo, being pilloried and fobbed off as a waste of money. Jokers!
Give him a fucking chance and realize KDB and Bernardo (and possibly Kova) won’t be here when Nunes starts hitting his stride here.
He has more pace than any of our other midfielders and a box to box engine. He’s a big tall lad who can fill out and get stronger, just like Rodri has done, and he brings a different skill set than our other players. He is closer to a fast Gundo than anything else we have and just needs some time to find some game time in a rather competitive world class midfield!
I hope many of you are eating your words 12 months from now.
