Edu’s Transfer Targets: Summer 2024 - Return of Inak

[Batman]

He is miles better than martinelli at LW and also a very good RW. Last season he had 30 g/a playing as a right winger although he was not a regular starter for the 1st part of the season

I said on this forum and was called insane for it that Rodrygo would eclipse Vini at some point and he has the talent to do so, he's just had to play out of position for the good of the team. That kid is something else. He would cook here.

@MutableEarth can you tell me why people thing we are signing Rodrygo this summer?

Link by Cadena Ser. I mean, I'd take him, he's a very good forward. I'm just not convinced he's gonna come here.

Isak is now the clear pick for our striker. Nobody even comes close. He’s better than everyone, he’s proven, he’s well rounded - back to goal, tight spaces, link up, height, pace etc.

Newcastle need the cash and sale so 100M should do it.

Other options are full of doubt despite costing massive fees.

Are you being tongue in cheek with this?? £100m for Isak?? He’s so injury prone, never worth 100m. Absolute rip off for that price.

Rodrygo extended 5 months ago, and has contract until 2028. I see it much more likely they sell a worse player in Diaz for example, who has 3 years left.

It's not like they have a huge amount of attackers if Joselu returns from his loan. Rodrygo has played 3rd most minutes for them this season. Why do people assume Real wants to worsen their team for laughs?

That is the most likely outcome but Rodrygo may not want to be pushed even further down in the pecking order.
Bit I agree its very unlikely.

Tbf there are not many more exciting projects than Arsenal under Arteta going at the moment.

Wow wow wow. What has Arteta done!!! Allowing us to dream again!

To me it looks like Mbappe will have to play ST somewhat, at least in his first season. Hasn't he been against it a bit earlier? Maybe not at Real, the club of his dreams? Mbappe & Endrick as the strikers.

Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo would then start a lot. Diaz and Guler being backups maybe with Valverde.

That's 7 players for 3 positions, but Guler and Valverde can play midfield. And it's Endrick's first season. And Guler isn't experienced either.

He meant 50m for the player and the other 50 in horse placenta addons, mate.

No serious. He’s going to be in the bracket or close - 85-100M.

 

[El Duderino]

If Isaak had managed 18 months like Judas did before he moved to ManU, I'd be inclined. Yes, it's steep, but if it gets you the title...

But unlike the little boy from United, Isaak hasn't had neither form nor fitness.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

We're not paying £100m for Isak.

Never gonna happen as he doesn’t have the physicality vini has. Not as quick or strong. And doesn’t have the same goal instinct. He is smooth as hell and is elegant.

People in Brazil prefer him on the right side. I'm positive Tite had to hire private security after he subbed Vini off for Rodygro during the WC instead of putting Rodrygo where he's played most for Madrid.

Just typing that made my brain hurt. God, what a stupid ****ing move. Shadowboxing right now.

 

[North5]

Getting a Brazilian to move from Madrid to London would also be a challenge

Madrid is nice but it's cold as **** in winter too. London is far more trendy.

Bellingham plays kind of false 9 for them. Can see them persisting with that and Endrick can be his backup.
Mbappe/Vini Jr/Diaz/Rodrygo/Guler as options for LF/RF as they use attacking FB.

Valverde/Camavinga/Tchouameni/Kroos/Paz/Ceballos(?) for midfield. (And I can easily see them go for Alonso+Wirtz next season. Just insane the team they have built.)

They just have too many players. Move Bellingham/Guler to midfield they have too many midfielders or they have too many forwards.

Messi doesn't have the physicality that Haaland has either. This is why you're the star of the worst takes thread.

 

[El Realista]

I don't like anything that won't push GJ out of 11 starter team of even better out of Arsenal... I have enough of that face constantly crying anytime he misses a shot which is 90% of times.

Just give me real winger/attacker and someone to rotate with Havertz on top!!

We talking about vini vs Rodrygo and you use Haaland and messi as an example lol. You lost it man. Vini and Rodrygo are same age and play in the same team. Vini is the star, been better than him every season so far and is rated as the better player

You think Rodrygo can surpass him is based on nothing anyone seen. There is a reason there is talk of Rodrygo being sold and not Vini. Truth is Vini can do everything Rodrygo can, but Rodrygo can’t do everything Vini can. Vini is quicker, stronger and has the stronger mentality.

Haaland is a League Two player according to the experts.

He has the stronger mentality based on what? You don't know Rodrygo or what his mentality is like. Just clownish. He gets played out of position and still puts up comparable numbers. Football is not just about marketing and pace, Rodrygo is a more skilled footballer than Vini with the difference being that one of them has been catered to and the other has had to adapt for the good of the team.
