I think he’s going to be a world class midfielder. Problem of course is that Palace would be an absolute bitch to negotiate with. Especially if they see us get 100m+ for Enzo in which case they’d probably ask for similar. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted May 20, 2025 Share Posted May 20, 2025 We already have Caicedo, Lavia, Essugo and Santos for two MF positions. Rodrygo swap makes sense for both teams actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted May 20, 2025 Share Posted May 20, 2025 Rodrygo is 240k euros per week which is around £200k. Enzo is 180k and Nkunku is also leaving with 200k. Shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Williams is a LWer he hates playing at RW Real have THREE world class LWers Vini Jr Mbappe (who plays as a CF/false 9) Rodrygo (who plays out of postion at RW now) Zero clue why Real would let a far better winger (Rodrygo) go and then DUPLICATE the same 'out of postion' shite with Nico that they had/have with Rodrygo.

And Essugo is a complete unknown. So if we sell Enzo we’d definitely need another dependable CM I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Enzo around, the team looked like it was missing that midfielder who links the midfield and attack, and is extremely good in doing pass sequences that help get through low blocks - Odegaard/ KDB/ Kroos kind of midfielder. Worth going into the market for one regardless of Enzo's situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ultra comfortable on the ball and is great at playing between the lines linking the midfield and attack. He 100% looks like a midfielder that Pep will fancy at some point so we’d do well to be there if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankLampard007 18 Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 I would never sell Enzo at this moment. This young team needs leaders and no one except Enzo and Caicedo is showing that they can lead or push a team. Most of the players don't have the passion that Enzo has at the moment. I would keep Enzo at least for another year until we have some leaders in the team. He is the most passionate player in the team and i would never sell him.

OneMoSalah 9,089 Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 If Madrid offer to pay what we paid or more, sell him. He has improved this season but was never worth the fee we paid and never will be. Too much of a passenger without the ball for the PL. Less pace and slower tempo in La Liga so would suit him better.

Special Juan 28,729 Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 The clearance of the deadwood we have sitting around means we can easily pay Rodyrgo his salary, problem is with this board they are twats and seem blinkered to high quality players in favour of youth OneMoSalah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of where I’m at. I really like Enzo as a personality and love his play on the pitch when he’s at his best but I don’t think he suits the super high intensity of the PL as well as he would other, slower leagues. When matches become very stretched and end to end he struggles because he’s not the quickest or most athletic. Bit like Fabregas or Jorginho when they were here. I don’t WANT to see him sold and I’d be perfectly happy to keep him for years more, but if Madrid offer what we paid or more I’d do it so long as we replace him with someone new who suits the PL better. If the idea from the club is to sell Enzo, not use the money for a replacement, and then simply say that Andrey Santos is his replacement then it would be a huge mistake.
