Could be out for a month. God, the gods really want Liverpool to win.
I completely agree. Guardiola must’ve sensed he’d be their Busquets, another technically very good player but somewhat lacking in pace. However, Rodri is nowhere near peak Busquets.Same as above, really.
I absolutely wouldn’t. Guy vanishes in every big game I’ve seen him in.I'd happily take him as a Matic replacement
It's the same with Keita at LiverpoolThey do throw money up the wall without any real criticism. I mean, how much did they spend on that Cancelo chap in the summer ? 50 million ?
No one cares.
It was such a pointless signing, they already had Walker and they lost the versatility of Danilo too.They do throw money up the wall without any real criticism. I mean, how much did they spend on that Cancelo chap in the summer ? 50 million ?

To be honest I’d forgotten he existed until I saw this thread bumped.It’s just proof nobody really gives a toss about City. He is their record signing, who cost £62.8m but even though he’s clearly been a bit shite, nobody is really bothered about it.
City in general haven't been great in the big games, which points to a larger structural issue I'd say. Ultimately he's a system player not an individual game changer. When the attackers are pinning the defence back he's very good at sweeping up proactively and piling on the pressure, and he uses the ball well. Against Liverpool a couple of weeks ago for example. In the big games I'd say Gundogan is generally the weak link and the setup is easily exposed, more than Rodri as an individual.I absolutely wouldn’t. Guy vanishes in every big game I’ve seen him in.
No way.Ruben Neves is a far superior player and he'd cost less. Sometimes looking inward in your league can be great gain.
Neves is twice the player Rodri is.I'd happily take him as a Matic replacement
Guardiola said he heard Neves would cost them £100 million. Also he's not as goodRuben Neves is a far superior player and he'd cost less. Sometimes looking inward in your league can be great gain.
Not as good as?Guardiola said he heard Neves would cost them £100 million. Also he's not as good
Was he meant to be the next Javi Martinez?There is three central midfielders at Wolves better than Neves. Most overrated PL-player I can remember.
But yes, Rodri has not looked good. But there is a huge difference from playing at Atletico Madrid. I would give him a bit more time.
Wolves have a rich owner, are trying to firmly establish themselves as a Europa level team and Neves is the face of the team to some extent. The amount it would take to make them agree to sell is far more than what he is actually worth.Not as good as?
100m ? That's robbery, no way they'd ask that.
Have people not been watching the transfer fees of recent seasons? He would go for that much or thereabouts. Especially pre corona.Not as good as?
100m ? That's robbery, no way they'd ask that.
Dont see why Guardiola would literally say that out loud unless hes been told he costs that amount and isnt interested anymore. Yes its robbery and that was before they signed Rodri, so before corona. But clearly Wolves want a lot for himNot as good as?
100m ? That's robbery, no way they'd ask that.
If so then why didnt Pep want him at £100 million?Have people not been watching the transfer fees of recent seasons? He would go for that much or thereabouts. Especially pre corona.
Rodhri has been worse than Fred in first PL season.There is three central midfielders at Wolves better than Neves. Most overrated PL-player I can remember.

I'd thought that 50-60m is a fair deal considering the inflation, epl tax and wannabe big club tax.Have people not been watching the transfer fees of recent seasons? He would go for that much or thereabouts. Especially pre corona.
Why though?I'd happily take him as a Matic replacement
Now Rodri's been poor but lets not exaggerate. Fred had a nightmare first season and was being benched by midtable footballers. Rodri hasn't been great but might adapt despite his lack of agility. He will need quick players around him though.Rodhri has been worse than Fred in first PL season.
I remember at start of season when they signed him, EVERYONE including MOTD and redcafe pundits was lauding St Pep for being the transfer boss, that only he was capable of unearthing these types of gems, and how City would blow everyone out of the water.
Wolves wanted a lot of money for himRuben Neves is a far superior player and he'd cost less. Sometimes looking inward in your league can be great gain.
