Rojo's Modern Life! - The Marcos Rojo Thread

This is what happens when you restrict game time and force players out of position.

 

Wait till he sees him try to control a pass.

so we are better off with him in the lineup then???

not following you Teso.

 

We won less, lost more, conceded more goals, scored less goals when he played. What else do you want Einstein?

 

It's called coincidence.

 

Rojo wants to stay with United.

Well he doesn't get to decide.

MEN still running that Jose wants to sell 2 CBs and buy one. I imagine those 2 are Rojo and Jones.

 

He had a good game against Everton as a center back. Him and Jones together even though Arouna Kone was the striker.

 

In a choice between him and Jones as to who stays at the club, I'd still rather have Rojo staying. I still believe he can make for a solid backup at CB. Jones, as stated yesterday, really needs to play as much as possible and if it he has to go out on loan to do so, then so be it.
Rojo for now could do a job as the #3-4 guy at CB and CB only.

 

Time for someone to join Basti at U21 training.

 

Sell Rojo, loan Duncan Edwards.

 

It was his testimonial, would be bad if he didnt play Rooney.

 

Maybe @Holy__Joe can shed some light on that.

 

He was considered a hack.

 

Looks like he's going to head over to Valencia. If I'm being honest, I'd have kept Rojo if this decision was down to ditching one of Phil/Rojo. Sounds like we've turned down a decent amount of interest in Jones, repeatedly.

 

Bit of a minor point but I do think it's worth noting that when we bought him it was for a specific niche, LCB in a 3-5-2, for which he's more well suited than any role in a back 4. He's a bit of a"tweener" now , not good enough going forward to play LB, and not good enough defensively for CB. Had we persisted with that system his time here might have shaped up better. Not saying that justifies the purchase entirely or that it was smart to be buying players primarily based on their fit in a system we were never likely to stick with for long, but I do think it's a factor to keep in mind.

 

Have we sold him yet?

 

He was purchased because of LvG obsession with a left footed lcb. That's why.

Stupid really.
