Rodrygo Goes to Popworld

[bluebell]

Isak, Guehi and Rodrygo. I am guessing we would have to lose both Tsimi and Cheesy to make room for them (@StevieM you keep a tab on numbers, can you confirm we would have to sell two make room for two)

We currently have as OS players:
Ali
Marma
Kerkez
Robbo
Tsimi
Virgil
Ibou
Endo
Gravy
Mac
Dom
Wirtz
Gakkers
Ekitike
Mo
Cheesie

HG Players :
Woodman - AT
Bradley - CT
Frimp - AT
JoGo - CT
CJ - CT
Harvey - CT

Top U21’s not needing registered Fri EPL-
Leoni
Nyoni
Danns
Rio
McConnell

So, as it stands if we signed Isak & Rodrygo - we’d only have to move one player out, with Tsimikas being the obvious choice.

Guehi is HG, so no issues there - Wed still have room for one more HG player if we wanted and would also be able to meet the Association Trained criteria for Europe.

The two I’m not sure about for Europe are Leoni & Rio as neither have completed 2 years at the club and therefore can only play in Europe if registered - I presume Rio can be registered as one of the HG players in the squad of 25 - so he’d not be an issue, as we have spare AT spot.

Leoni is the problem - I think 🤔 be of the other OS players would have to miss out on Europe for him to play - and I’d be reluctant to do that - because it’d likely mean Cheesie or Endo who are more likely to be needed

The only thing selling Harvey does is mean we’ll be able be one short in the European squad as there isn’t really anyone to replace him that qualifies as Club Trained - Rhys Williams maybe, but I don’t see the point in that.

I think Harvey goes, either to Spurs or Palace for £40m+ . Honestly can't see us getting rodrygo when cheesy said he wants to fight for his place and to be fair he looks a lot of fitter, then again I am not Hughes and I have failed to guess any one of his transfer moves.
Its fucking exciting and scary... It looks like Slot wants to play more Klopp ball with high intensive attacks

Seems mad that we can have hardly any English players even in the squad and the homegrown rules are still barely even an issue. The rules are so lenient they might as well not be there.

Didn't get off the bench in Madrid's opener which has led to rumours resurfacing, for whatever reason he's clearly not fancied by Xabi......but the rumours are he's fed up of playing on the right.

Way I see it is no Isak means 2 lesser forwards who can contribute his expected goal return would be needed, no ifs or buts about it. Days are counting down, the rumours will ramp up.

Reports that Madrid value him at 80m euro (so roughly 69m)…that’ll be agreeable enough I’d say.

So no Isak then, or both?

Test the waters with a cheeky 30m + Harvey bid.
