Rodrygo Goes to Popworld

Forums Unread posts
Pletteburg saying Rodrygo is on £10m nett now. That's £350k+ gross a week in the Uk, which I don't see us matching. We must be stretched for wages already as we've bought big players in without moving on Elliott, Tsimikas, Nunez etc yet.

That Fofana kid probably be happy with £60k but I assume he doesn't provide striker cover, so we'd need a striker as well if we let Diaz go. Maybe Chiesa out would free up room for an extra striker but we've not been linked with any.

Smells like a possible Wirtz (or Szobo?) false 9 scenario, which I don't think is his strength.
 
Capology has him at 208k base salary and then ab added 138k bonus per week.
Most likely incentive based etc.

We can match that

Not being argumentative but which are those. My counterpoint is that if he had scored important goals, Manc loving media and their fans would be screaming about it from the rooftops. Everytime I ask this question to United supporter friends, they only point to the FA cup goal.

Fair enough I can’t honestly remember too many others since always avoided united during Giggs’s time but found this:
www.theguardian.com

Ryan Giggs: his 10 greatest goals

Jacob Steinberg: As the wizard on the wing approaches 1,000 appearances in a Manchester United shirt we make a choice of his best goals
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Also, during that time he has 260 something assists apparently and this isn’t all his assista as they only started counting assits from post Giggs started playing. Even Diaz’s dad would struggle to compare him with Giggs as a good player as Diaz is, has been pretty poor in finals too.
 
Yeah… let’s do it - the fact he’s comfortable on either side and likely through the middle means he’s perfect for what we need.

Him and Guehi before the end of the window and you can’t argue with the progress we’ve made - Isak on top of that would be just utterly ridiculous.

This is all very silly, mate... Only one forward missed a sitter that night, and it wasn't Diaz. Is Mo rubbish now, too? And Ali let the goals in - Is he not really the best keeper in the world? What about Virgil, who was skipper for all these matches..?

I have had a running debate with another forummer even during Klopp's era; that Diaz doesn't deliver in big games. I am still waiting for a game where he takes it by the scruff of the neck and drag us through, just one, once in awhile. It has not happened yet.

This season it is the same. He plays in the big games but he does not produce. Last season we won it on a canter but in the CL, domestic cups, we have flopped. He is a senior player, he should do alot more by now. You are right in saying Mo, Virg, Ali played as well but they have delivered consistently in other big games, games where we needed someone to step up, Diaz has not, and he is playing in a key position.

That said, I read that Rodrygo is a big game player. That does it for me really. Even if, only if, he might not turn out as consistent as Diaz week in week out, him turning up in the bigger games, producing that bit of magic to win us the game, is enough for me to bring him in for Diaz. I want another CL.

Fair enough. By the way, I wasn't comparing Diaz's career output to others. My original post had this line.

" I believe Diaz's last season compares very favorably to the productivity of next tier of premier league wide attackers who are still considered greats - Robben, Giggs, Ljunberg, Duff, and Pires."

I am just looking at his productivity in the last season. I also believe he will maintain or improve upon it in the next two seasons for the reasons I mentioned earlier.

Yeah, agrees. Ideally, we would he sign another contract and improve on last season would have been my preference too.

I wasn’t being entirely serious.

I still think we’re not selling Diaz.

Diaz is off. We’re just waiting for Bayern to stop being cheap at this point.

I don’t think Rodrygo moves to PSG or that they are interested.
They have Barcola and Kvara that can play in his favoured position.
 
Shame, he looked like a fully formed footballer, unlike some others, but that's that stupid eye test thing. Bambi on ice will revert to the mean. On another day, her mum isn't shot dead. You can't just look at that one fact, Bambi. Like, sure, that one time your mum died. The bullet went right through her, but let's not dwell on what we saw or what happened. That'd be silly. We have to look at the data in full. In another universe the tatted up sturgeon is holding up a farmed Darwin, all incredulous, like they didn't put it there, like everything always works out. Don't you see Bambi?
