  1. So Dave, you want Rodrygo to leave?? And who replaces him mid season?? What if Vini or Mbappe??
    Even if we get a replacement, that replacement should be able to play in the Champions League.

  2. So we’re loaning Endrick, possibly selling Gonzalo and now selling Rodygo and we got no ST 🤣 and we’re still playing Vini and Mbappe thinking it’s going to work and we haven’t bought any other players either
    WTF is Florentino on 🤡

  3. Get rid he isn't even that good enough, the glaze is unreal people talk about this Temu Neymar as if he is Ronaldinho on the bench.. Carlo knew it, now Xabi Alonso knows he is mid.. Madrid should sign a real number 9 either Kane, or Halaand to play alongside Mbappe.. that's the future. not Rodrygo.

  4. I really dont get these so called fans. Rodrygo isnt been given enough playing time to find good form and at the same time Vini is given contineous playing time no matter how horrible he plays.

  5. Rodrygo will demand high wages on top of his transfer which will command a big fee to be paid.
    I don't see it at the moment tbh especially with the high earners like Havertz and Jesus still at the club.
    Personally I'd go for Nusa from Leipzig, he's so talented and comes cheaper.

  6. There's no need for two wingers on a team with Embappa, because there's no one to cross into the penalty area. A physical center forward, capable of pressing and putting pressure on the opponent, and with Kvivga, disrupting the opponent's play and allowing the midfield and defense to control the game more easily.

  7. No one can afford Rodrigo’s salary. That’s what we were told a few months ago. And RM want to fire sale him for $60 million. That’s crazy. Sell Vini to Saudi abc keep Rodrygo

  8. Madrid => let’s their youth rot on the bench

    Barca => utilises youth so much that their bodies physically cannot handle it.

    Both teams are poor in managing their youth, but at Barca you guaranteed to play.

  9. Mbappe and Haaland will certainly work better than Vini and Mbappe, "Only if they let go off their egos" I want to see Haaland in Royal White 🤍

  10. Damn it!! I didnt want my day to go sour with this news….i wouldve preferred to celebrate with the news of “vinicius leaving rm.” wouldve celebrated like A new years party

  11. an average player in Rodrigo, is being compare to, the best player in the world, in Mabape. You are a Mabape hater. Sell Vinni and Jude, and bring in new players. The primere league, will actually fit Vinni. That league is very open, with lots of space, due to teams pressing.

  12. I think this might backfire for Madrid. Because Arsenal are back. We no longer have any financial constraints; Emirates Stadium is paid off, and we have finally, finally been able to spend money after Arteta arrived to build a squad to win titles again after a 20 year identity crisis in our history. I would love Rodrigo at Arsenal because I know that if you give him to Arteta, then Arteta will make him exceed all of his limits. Like Havertz, Rodrigo will play at his best at Arsenal. We are not going anywhere. You will bump heads with us in the Champions League every season now. Do you really want to give us Rodrigo? Why give him to us? Makes no sense. If I were a Madrid fan, I would prefer selling him to a mid-tier club that Madrid wouldn't necessarily deem threatening. Rodrigo is a top player.
