Vini been dominating the CL for the last few seasons and you have idiots on espn and reddit talking about a damn Rodri why trying to downplay the man?even that c00n Shaka was trying to deny him for Rodri

he may not be as consistent but he is just as clutch as Ronaldo

sorry Mbappe, don't see him outshining him anytime soon

It’s hilarious Rodri had 0 hype after treble winning season for fifa fav messi but now a black man about to win it Rodri is suddenly a candidate. He’s not even ahead of Bellingham

The only thing that even made this a question was his injuries. When healthy no one comes close to him. I hated and don’t think I’ll warm up to the Merino singing btw. We didn’t need his profile at all

Rodri was always a candidate this year after winning the treble AND the euros. Him and Vini are the only logical choices. Jude is up there, but game over game...it's between Vini and Rodri. Remember, this season has no bearing on Balon d'Or.

I personally think it will be Rodri (even though I prefer Vini) because for as clutch as Vini is. City without Rodri is gimped, Madrid without Vini still finds a way sometimes.

Merino is there for UCL knock outs and teams can actually play around and against us. Partey is better for breaking lines against low blocks. Also, Merino is more dominant in the air and is a better man to man, open field defender and transition player. He made perfect sense to replace Xhaka on the left of the midfield. I won't judge till I see him in a fully fit squad.

We aren't going to see the best of ANY of the midfield without Odegaard. Not only is he the creative metronome, he organizes the press, so without him we're seeing a crippled Arsenal midfield. He and Saka are arguably the only "irreplaceable" players in the squad. No one has their profiles and skill sets. Perhaps, Saliba as well.
