Rodrygo

[Goldust]

Amazed to see some people playing down his quality. I really rate the potential of Doku and Savinho, but Rodrygo is exactly what we're hoping they both can turn into! He's a quality player. Would encourage people to spend less time reading nonsense online downplaying him and just look at what he's capable of on a regular basis.

These are his goals from this season alone. He's insanely underrated and just a victim to the Mbappe, Vini Jr, Bellingham hype cycles. He's a cracking footballer and would instantly improve our starting XI by some way. Big game mentality, world class goals regularly, great technique and aggressive dribbler, hardworking, creative, versatile. Would love him at City.

Looking at that the majority of his goals are from a central area. The purchase of MGW as well could help provide some grit in the big games.

Simply can't see where this guy fits in given the number of attacking players in the squad

He’s better than what we have as a winger though? Grealish seemingly out, Bernardo and Foden seriously aren’t wingers? Bernardo may go and Phil has mental and physical issues that may just need a break? You don’t turn down the chance to get Rodrygo

Pep making a clear point about squad size. Bobb coming back as well

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

That's several recent posts I've read that is claiming Jack is going.
a) are the club selling, b) who has bid and met our valuation?

With the pinches of salt this requires: yes and Newcastle.

Although I think we will leave RB alone and make do with Nunes, Akanji, Lewis it will be LB what’s targeted.

Still untested though really and keeps getting injured? We need a dusting of a superstar signing?

I would prefer absolutely world class elite fullbacks

 

[BluestBlue]

You think Grealish is paid £400k per week?

He’s been on 300k since we signed him.
120 x2 is 240. He earns more than that.

Exclusive: @City_XtraPT confirms that Rodrygo's agents have been in contact with people close to #ManCity asking about the club and the city of Manchester. There are currently no official discussions between @mancity and the player or the Spanish club.

Oh..

You said 'more than triple' which implies more than 360

prefer this over Marmoush at the 10 i think but the intechange of all three should be good. no side any cant roam to and effect behind Haaland.

Just a signing that shows where we are at now and the questionable decisions the clubs money men have been making these last 2 years.

We haven’t chose him, he’s a cast off from another club. He’s just an opportunity buy.
If Madrid didn’t sign Mbappe he’d never want to play here.
Hes just a big name.

Granted he’s talented but if we want to be the best again he isn’t a player who would be in your starting 11.

We already have players who could play wide and score around 8 a season.
We are wasting money on just good players, not top players.

We are just going down the same road as the Rags did when their era ended…. big names, big money who are other teams cast offs or young English talent who aren’t good enough.

D.Costa, Rodrygo, Livramento, Gibbs-White, Cambiasso, Etc… it’s just average to good replacing the world class we once had.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Like the idea of this. We need another serious forward.
Maybe he's the blockbuster instead of Wirtz and then another like Reijnders. Definitely warming to that.

Can’t agree. Rodrygo is a top player

 

[dadnlad]

My attitude to Rodrygo is simple.
I absolutely will not class him as a City player until he Knocks a big competitor out of the chumps league in the dying seconds.
Then I will consider his debt paid and we can build from there.

Is he still hungry for football

Big question to be answered

The players became world class after a year or two with Pep though?

He's still only 24. Must have some ambition left.

 

[goater1985]

Granted I don't watch him every week but surprised theres any opposition to this, would be a fantastic signing for me, desperate for more goals and creativity in the front line.
