Transfer Rumour Guido Rodriguez

[TheBigIguana]

Allan was actually 29 and 15 months older - also slower and not a natural DM but more an 8 who tend not to age as well.

I like the player.

I don't like the strategy not changing.

He has a really weird tackling style, almost every tackle is a scissor tackle, hes a red card waiting to happen in this farce of a league we play in where they send Everton players off for sneezing.

He gets a lot of yellow cards.

86% passing and some of it quite progressive too, the passing stat would top ours comfortably

Hes good on the ball, but a lot of this is how bad our midfield is too.

I'd say he is a 7 out of 10 for possession. But hes a 9/10 for defensive stats. Not a million miles off Gana, but better on the ball and better in the air.

As indicated would be a perfect 6 of what we need (defensive stats) but could also do what Lampard wants (take the ball off the defence ah la Winks/Gilmour)

Good. Our midfield has been soft as tits for years.

Never seen him play but I signed him for Everton on football manage so I want him.

I like Allan a lot, by all accounts he has a great attitude. But he was always a box to box midfielder who's legs were going. Weve been a little unlucky with injuries, but honestly that's what we expected.

The problem is, his game was never about positioning. Hes also quite small. As his physical attributes have waned, so has his effect. Think this will be the last year for Allan unless he takes a big pay cut.

This Rodriguez is better. But he is also a style of player that will not be as impacted as he gets older. He intercepts well, is bigger, more comfortable on the ball etc. Look at Gareth Barry, who was still ok here into his mid 30s.

I'm not saying we do it, but I can see what they see in him.

 

[maccavennie]

Hes way too good for us, not a chance we sign him.

Positionally looks sound as a pound though one thing I'll say is it looks like Betis hunt in packs as about 80% of those clips he has a midfielder or 2 around him. At Everton he'd need to do the job of 3 players. Looks like a very good DM though.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if we got him in.

All the Reddit South Americans think he is way too good for us.

The last proper DM we had was one of our best players well into his 30’s.

(I don’t class Gana as a proper DM, but a dynamic midfielder who tackled anything that moved).

They’re probably right in all honesty

Lol wut?

The '6' '8' nonsense.

It's the type of language the Sky-era fan uses when trying to garner some credibility.

As if a sky era fan can talk old football.

6 and 8 for me is from the Everton sides of old, Peter Reid and Bracewell.

…hardly crossed the half-way line, hunted as a pair, no proper goal or assists contribution. Similar to Harvey & Kendall, a decent blueprint for any manager.
