Rodri Understudy

[RupertMCFC]

Kalvin Phillips was obviously a dramatic failure as a back up to Rodri, nunes and kovacic have been played in the Rodri hadn't been available, but neither cover the defence in the way Rodri does (impossible I know). I know we've managed up until now but surely Pep looks into the market over the summer. He previously spoke about finding a younger homegrown talent. Does this still apply?

Who would you realistically like to see come in?

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Fernandinho's son.

 

[FMwkdsoul]

Dream - Camavinga
Likely - Palacios

Doubt it, he will either stay or go somewhere he isn't anyones understudy.

Let's wait and see, fancy a bet?

I thought he’d just bought a new house in the North East, £4m .

Not really, can't see it makes sense for anyone.

Rodri is one of those players that are hard to replace with a direct like for like, he's a monster. Like Merlin before him there isn't anyone out there with his specific qualities that can be brought in.

Unless we have an academy player who can step up?

Well then you would win wouldn't you?, he won't be coming just to play that role but he will be the one Pep trusts to do it when Rodhri gets a rest.
