Joe Rodon

[Richard Arlison]

Udogie & Terrier would be quite the duo.

Terrier was on the list that AG was reporting then picked up a long term injury. Not sure when he's back? or if he will be the same player.

 

[Micky Bubbles]

Does he count as HG now?

Could do worse than having him Dier & Davies as our backup back 3

 

[Right as Rain]

This Rodon second half has been a disaster. Just been turned inside out by Andre Gomes (yes the one who broke his leg) and conceded a third goal

Joe Rodon: No surprise because he is dog shit! Fuck you Jose and your cloggers. (Good to have Spence back though)

Seems like Levy is trying to pocket some of our money again.

He is not going to buy another CB.........

He shouldn't be buying or selling any players. That is the job of our new DoF. The end.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

He has been doing it for years.....

Now it ends (FWIW - I think Paratici was left to it. It's just the decision to hire him in the first place was fucked, just as every football is fucked).

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Lets hope so, although I remain skeptical.

Yep. Because it's him that still has to hire the DoF!!

Watching them last night, if Luton go up Joe would be perfect for them.

Strange one in this case because our original target was Kim Min Jae but Levy sneered at the £5m that was quote for a player outside of Europe, so he spent double that on Joe who was playing for Wales and Swansea. Now Kim is worth £60m and Joe is worth £5m.

#Levynomics

.....except they wanted more than double that as some kind of EPL tax.

Champo is also a higher level than China.

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

We paid under £10m for Gareth Bale, and sold him for £85m. Levynomics? Or is just a case of 'you win some, you lose some'?

Our success to flop ratio on young players is far from fucking great, especially over the past 4 or 5 years.

 

[ElTel]

I think Rodon is one player who might impress Ange. Seems to have a good attitude and is willing to learn and improve.

 

[McCOYS]

He seemed to be not a bad player when he was at Swansea, perhaps that was down to good coaching.

Maybe the Premier League was/is a step to high for him. I wonder if Ange is going to give him another chance.

 

[McCOYS]

4 managers can't be wrong

I'm just saying that I personally don't think he had a fair chance.

 

[McCOYS]

He came in to training every day and couldn't convince 3 different managers that he was good enough. He had a chance. We are not a charity.

Both Mourinho and Conte stated that Dier was some sort of top class defender. Surely that was being more charitable than giving Rodon a run in the team.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

I'm just saying that I personally don't think he had a fair chance.

He is a worse centreback than Dier and Sanches that's quite the achievement but he genuinely is. Seems a good bloke but blimey his positional sense marking and decision making are horrific.

He seemed to be good when he was playing for Swansea.

 

[McCOYS]

If every manager has thought Dier is much better than Rodon then surely that tells you everything? What else is there to say?

Again, we are not a charity. What kind of manager would select a worse player over a better one (in their view)? Players don't deserve to play out of pity. They have to show they are better than the others. Rodon didn't do that which is why he played last season in the lower half of the French league.

I suspect that teams in the lower half of the French league had better defences last season than we did.

Exactly this re Spence too.

Gentleman.

What did Ndombele post to the Napoli fans?
