Loan Watch Joe Rodon -Leeds United

[allpaths]

think he'd be the ideal 4th cb, as he can play all 3 cb positions, the best cb at the club in the air and is mobile enough to get up and down the pitch. Doubt that he sticks around, but it's such a shame that he'll probably will never get a real run in the side.

I’d also like to see him get a full preseason with Conte as I think he'd prove he has the ability to deputize for Dier next season if he can get a few opportunities to do so. He's good enough to be a squad CB for us.

With the low numbers in our squad at this time it's nice to see Joe get some minutes- but it feels to me like Joe is getting minutes to put him in the shop window for a sale this summer.

 

[SpursAddict]

I highly doubt Conte would risk dropping points whilst we’re in the run for champions league football just for Rodon to be in the ‘shop window’. I’m delighted for him to get some deserved minutes after the tough season he’s had.

Speaking of Joe Rodon, was his left hand wrapped up when he came on against Burnley? Or my eyes lying to me?

 

[whitechina]

Hoping that he gets his loan move to Forest to get his career back on track.
I'm curious to know why he never got much time on the pitch, he has always done ok for Wales (yes I know it's different)

 

[midge]

Is Joe counted as a HG ?

Not for UEFA competitions.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Could see him and Japhet at Forrest

 

[cjbyid]

Forest would be a good move for him.

While Davies rightly so is getting many plaudits for his game for Wales tonight- Rodon did well in a massive game (his COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT GAME FOR YEARS)
Paratici just added a few million to his asking price
I just can't get my head around why he's had so little playing time with us (all managers) and performs well for Wales?

Am a big fan of Joe, like Stevie B I hope he stays, but also understand if he leaves.
We need a quality squad to have a good chance of a trophy and top 4. Just hope we can find the right balance to achieve that.

Bit surprising.. considering how reluctant Conte seemed to play him.

 

[chrissivad]

Didn't he have a rib injury when we were light in Cb's?

Made the bench more of a incase of emergency.
I would like to see him out on loan for a season (or just half if we wants game time pre world cup) in the PL.

 

[Snarfalicious]

I still think he's got a very high ceiling, but the apparent reluctance in giving him a chance was always so bizarre. Maybe it was the injury, or maybe it was just Conte trying to keep things as consistent as possible.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

I want Joe to stay, if Conte sees that he can cover Dier and Davies.
That gives us a quality 5 CBS, I rate them all when played in their correct positions.
I'd rather we splashed money on RWB and Striker/Forward

 

[chrissivad]

Just lost his number to Romero (With Skipp taking 4)

Romero has 17, not 14.
Not awake yet...

 

[cjsimba]

Oh man I loved having Romero as 4

 

[tomaseh]

Just lost his number to Romero (With Skipp taking 4)

Rodon has 14

 

[luRRka]

Rodon has 14

Yep, we didn't have a 17 last season
