Sounds crazy but I could see us trying for rodrygo, I really can.
But we've dropped away so far that its very difficult to see a player like that commit to a club like us. If you were him would you see it as a good career choice?
He has very very few choices now. Staying at Real means he gives in to his own demands of not wanting to play on the right.
The only way to break the negative cycle is to make a huge move like this. We've seen with other clubs that things can change fast in football.
Sign rodrygo who is world class and suddenly things flip. Yes we would be short in other areas still but suddenly having kudus and rodrygo on the wings is frightening to play against, even for the best teams in the world. From there we have a very solid season and suddenly next summer other top players see spurs as a club on the up, a club with top players like rodrygo, vdv, romero and whoever else and we are suddenly back in the game.
Please can we just go all out and try? Just 1 top top player even if we're short elsewhere instead of dividing funds up and buying 4 players for the same price.
