Come on.
Half the board here were gagging for him to start.
As I’ve said repeatedly, always tons of praise for non-participants.
Hopefully, we’ll recover most of his transfer fee.

Last time I checked this thread I read this:
Two months later he's on his way back to us! Fucking hell.
That just speaks to how terrible our starting defence have been. It's eminently logical.
It's understandable though. I mean when I see Royal in the team I feel compelled to want a youth player to be given a chance instead.
It makes me laugh when people point this out. It makes perfect sense to try something else no matter how big a reach. The alternative is what Einstein called the definition of madness.
I trust that a world class manager who sees Royal and his other options every day know what he is doing. In the same way, I trusted Mourinho knew what he was doing in not playing Rodon.
I’m pretty certain that Conté isn’t playing Royal to make a point and he wants to take maximum points from every game.
I was never convinced. Three managers didn’t fancy him and now a fourth in France. That tells its own story. He’s a championship level defender and that it. A Callum Davenport for the 2020s.
The infallible coach canard is also a joke, all humans make mistakes have blindspots let personal dislike blind them. I don't 100% trust anyone all the time. Jose is a classic example successful coach though he had been I could see the flaws in how and who he was playing months before it unravelled. But you know he saw the players everyday...so he must know.
Who makes up this nonsense? Shame on those of you who take it as gospel..4th choice yet has started and completed all the games Rennes has had more or less. Joe Rodon - Stats 22/23
Thanks for posting that. Yes all games except last month when league games were played when he had flu/other health issues.
From what Rennes and French media have said, its more about Rennes long term defensive injuries coming back which means that Rodon's place has now come into question, rather than the players form. So it looks as though Rodon can definitely 'hack it' in the French league (in addition to Championship and Wales National Team)
The coaches know what the alternatives can do. Rodon and Tanganga have failed to impress 3 consecutive coaches.
The problem ain't the coaches.
Which is why I said sell for whatever we can get. And yet still it makes perfect sense to try and alternative, some mixes are stronger than their constituent parts like an alloy.
Rodon replaced Omari, injured holder, and Badé, undesirable. He was of service, without however progressing as much as his defense partner, the Belgian Theate. It is above all his weakness in the recovery that penalizes him. The young Wooh has started to compete with him, and Omari returned from injury is the natural starter. Rodon had the playing time to be able to participate in the World Cup, which was his goal. Circumstances therefore mean that Rodon and Rennes probably agree to part ways.
Joe Rodon | Football Stats | Leeds United | Age 27 | Soccer Base
Joe Rodon. (Born 22 Oct, 1997) Defender for Leeds United. Current season & career stats available, including appearances, goals & transfer fees.
Rennes lost 2 of the first 3 games Joe played but they are unbeaten in their last 12 when Joe plays.
They beat PSG yesterday and are up to 5th.
Seems he is a hit there and fingers crossed we can get a decent CCV type fee for him?
Rennes fans seem quite happy with Rodon since the World Cup.. say he's playing well, composed, using the ball well. Haven't seen him play much recently, will have a look at the weekend in a tough home game vs Jonathan David and Mohamed Bayo of Lille.
If we're not keeping him around I don't think he'll be difficult to sell in the summer if he keeps playing as he is.

Rennes got anyone worth us having a cheeky trade for, mate?
.........I'm just assuming that European clubs will continue to be broke for the foreseeable.
8 points off the top; even RM kept their powder dry this January.
