For the price and limited you tube vids i`ve seen Andre looks worth a punt at £30m though.

Will be wasted in bench if Rodri is on godly form each and every week.

If he's in godly form, home games should be killed by 60mins. sub him off :)

Only if our forward is more clinical but they didn't hence recent poor form.

Well we've been missing a Fernandinho. We could do with a master of dark arts.

Rodri has already complained he fears for his health & the longevity of his career because of having to play so much last season.
Rodders will be glad of the rotational rest.

he looks shattered already imo hence why he`s getting silly yellow cards.

He had little chance to rest during the summer either. I knew shit was serious after his interview, & it's obvious it was aimed at Philips.
Finding Philips another club & securing a replacement is a priority for me. Just imagine if Rodders suffers a serious injury through fatigue?
Right now, we'd be fucked. We've lost all four domestic games without him this season.

Don't think he's said this. I don't see him as the dramatic type

I couldn't believe it myself mate. Tellingly, the club didn't comment to put the record straight, leaving Philips to issue a statement saying he was staying to fight for his place, citing Rodri, Jack, Stones & other players as having difficult first seasons under Pep.
"Rodri revealed that he cannot undergo that workload again, with the 27-year-old’s fears about fatigue only heightened by the introduction of new prolonged stoppage time in games, something already condemned by team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.
‘I don’t remember exactly the number of games I played, but I had a talk with the club and the coach because it’s not healthy,’ Rodri said.
‘You can do it for one season, but when it’s two or three in a row, it can be worse for the team because your physicality can drop. So I have to watch out. We have already spoken that, it cannot always be like this.’
Rodri – who was called upon more than planned as Kalvin Phillips struggled to acclimatise with the club after a £42million move from Leeds United – believes his career could be cut short if the intensity is not managed.
‘The important thing for me is that they know the situation and they know that for the next few seasons we will have to watch out,’ he added.
‘Now I am young, but maybe when I get to 30 or 31 I cannot do this kind of thing, so I have to watch the body because 60 games is not the best thing for a player. Also, the seasons get even longer every year. We have to adapt to this.’"
