No one because he won’t be sold, nor should he be
Rodrygo
- Thread starter It'sBlue93:20
- Start date
I’m now on the fence with him, before I was very much a he’s a good player and the criticism is unwarranted.
Just hasn’t done enough this year, but then who has.

Players develop just like KDB did. He might have been the finished article when we bought him but he wasn't at Chelsea. Some players like Foden are the finished article at 18, others develop as they age. Doku is hopefully getting better. I do agree he can be frustrating. Wingers often are. Remember our nickname for Riyadh?

WIlliams was useless in the 1st leg of Bilbao vs Man Utd.

Yeah, not a fan tbh. If its him, just keep Doku
If Williams played for us anf Doku played in Spain, you'd be begging for that switch.

You’re having a laugh
He would be a whining, self centred waste of money.

80M euros is the fee it seems! Surely we have to be there for that?!
tbh that is very cheap
80m for a player who is very experienced, intelligent, creative, can play multiple positions, a very hard worker and has not even entered his prime yet, also is not injury prone.
that would be a crime from our board not to enter the race if he decides to leave RM

Agreed! Really would be a brilliant signing for us.

My inner child is all over this signing. He's a huge talent, still so young as well and would definitely improve us. Arsenal are crying out for someone on the left and if they get him then we're in trouble. I've not seen enough from Doku or Savinho for us to not look at another attacking player, especially with his versatility. However, it goes against what Pep requested in terms of the number of players in our squad. There's not room for him with the other players we have and I can't see Doku or Savinho leaving.
it's doable
Savinho is primary a right winger
Rodrygo favorite position is left wing
here how it would look
Per rumours from the last few months
Out
Ederson
Carson
Stones
Gundogan
KdB
Silva
Mcatee
In
Tijjani
FB1
Rodrygo
Costa
All 3 of those would improve our midfield immeasurably.
Rodrygo would be marginally better than Savinho at the moment, but Sav will improve over the coming seasons.

Without taking his ability into consideration (and I'm not totally convinced by him), I don't think it's a position we need to add to at present with Doku, Savinho, Foden, Bobb, Marmoush, Grealish (though possibly leaving), Echeverri, McAtee all for attacking positions.
We have similar issues at CB with Dias, Gvardiol, Reis, Khusanov, Akanji, Ake, Stones and Bah for 2 positions.
The problem is that we already have too many players. IIRC Echeverri and Reis could not even be included in the CL squad this season. We then have Walker, Philipps and Bah returning from loans and so far only KDB leaving.
A lot need to leave if we wish to give Guardiola the small squad that he wants and that is without others then needing to leave to make room for incoming players. In reality we probably need 10+ to leave (sold or on loan) to bring in 3-4 players and outside of KdB, none of them are out of contract.
It's a bit of an unbalanced mess and it's going to need quite a lot of sorting out. Players can't just be sold/loaned against their will.
We just might not be able to create enough space in the squad for essential signings (CMs and FBs) without adding an attacking player like Rodrygo into the mix, especially when we already have sufficient players of a decent age profile for the position/s he plays.
