BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Rodrygo and Tyler Adams are the only two Leeds players I rate as squad players for us. Pub team, pub players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s and option if other targets aren’t available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even if we get our other bigger targets we should get him, cheap, cheap, cheap and not a bad back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Archer should be the back up next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is bang on. you need your striker to get 15 you need the two other ‘forwards’ to get near 10 and you need their sub replacements/ rotation options to get half what they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes he would expect to by a regular first team player to join us, or pretty much any team. If he has ambition he'll want to play wherever he goes, and if he doesn't he'll move on. Also he cost Athletico 100 million so they want to recoup as much of that as possible. Simeone has been huge for them, his importance trumps Felix, so Felix has to go as they don't get on.

useless Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just looked at last few pages on Rodrigo thread on Leeds forum Waccoe. He's a million miles off Hernandez's passing ability, all his through balls have too much pace and go straight out of play get this **** word removed out of our club Too little too late for me , cant wait for him to leave. He irritates me massively with his pretend pressing. Hopefully some other stupid words removed will buy the lazy rocket polisher now. Spain must be desperate God he's been shite overall really. We shouldn't bother with expensive signings anymore, waste of time Best game I’ve seen him actually close players down and make a challenge... His 3rd season And there were lots more negative comments beside those, there were some positive ones as well, such as might do a job in the Championship, better than Bamford, and 'he's our best finisher', but overall he hasn't been great at Leeds at all, feel like people are just looking at the fact he scored thirteen goals last season and the reported low transfer fee in coming to the conclusion that we should sign him but truth be told overall he's been poor, thirteen goals this season, but just eight and seven in the previous two, and only four assists across three seasons, also won't be as cheap as people think as wil cost a lot of money in wages. We've just done well in selling Ings, an older player who we were paying a lot of money just to be a back-up option, why would we then replace him with Rodrigo who would have the same role, would be on similar wages, but is older and isn't as good in front of goal, it's not even as if Rodrigo's general play has been good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been capable of playing on both and has always preferred the right. See this interview with him when he was in the Bundesliga: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/leon-bailey-10-things-on-bayer-leverkusen-s-jamaica-winger-usain-bolt-5302 its kind of irrelevant though isn't it. Messi thought his best position was on the right until Pep moved him central. Grealish thought his best position was central. At one point in time most would say Gareth Bale is a LB, Thierry Henry is a left winger, Dwight Yorke a winger, David Luiz a CB, Phil Jones a DM, Gareth Barry a CB. Leon Bailey plays better on the left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Would be perfect to partner Watkins in the deeper striker role, but I’m afraid he’d spend more time on the sick bed than Diego Carlos. On a separate note, he was a Monchi signing at Roma, one of the few signings he got right there. Maybe Monchi is imminent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good, because I think (based on some subtle posts that he has made) that he might be @Delphinho123 favourite player at the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
