Rodrigo Moreno- Joins Al-Rayyan confirmed

[Cjay]

Has had a lot of criticsm this season.

Deserved imo at times.

But today he looked like the player we hoped he was.

The experienced international striker who had attracted interest from some of the top clubs in Europe over the years.

Created chances and took his goals superbly.

He showed that 9 is his position and, as a result, he’s giving Bielsa a tough choice before a game, and a massive option, either way, during a game.

[Allrounder]

Injuries has been in his way majority of the season, but today he looked very fit and seems like his old pace is also coming back after Covid and other injuries.

When he is ready for 90 minutes he will create alot of chances.

Seems to me Bamford took all the bruises, grappled with Burnley's brutes for an hour, knackered them out a bit which allowed Rodrigo to capitalise with his skill. Not sure it would've worked the other way around.

Totally agree
I’d start with Bamford for the last two games knowing Rodrigo was capable of making an impact.
After a full pre season maybe a different scenario.

Absolutely spot on...have to watch off the ball to get a true reflection of what is going on ...

I did say he looked a class above before his injury at Leicester. With a Bielsa pre-season behind him, he will be quality.

Indeed Moth, they are a bunch of bruisers

Rodrigo was sharp & clinical today, probably the fittest he has been since his arrival at Leeds.

More to come I suspect

Just seen it

Taken a fair bit of stick Rodders (from myself included).

It hasnt been the spectacular season that maybe we hoped for from our record signing but all things considered it hasnt been to bad.

Big respect for him today for going into the post to earn a goal, knew.he would get a.whack but was determined to score in what was in the grand scheme a pretty meaningless game.

Furthermore his record this season is a goal every 184 minutes plus 2 assists.

Thats a 1 in 2 goal scoring record, not bad, well done Rodders

Rodrigo is more suited to be played as a striker and not on the wings etc.. considering his injuries etc.. he has done well. just need to add around 4 quality players now for next season.

Have to disagree with you mate, he himself has said he feels he is not an out and out striker...definately B2B behind Bamford and I see a bagful of goals from both next season

£23m prize money for finishing 9th, pretty much covered his transfer fee.

He played in the wing a lot for Valencia and No.10 for us but he has looked at his best leading the line. His quality has shown in the last few games.

He has the versatility that a certain Mr Bielsa likes in players. He is suited to play up top if Bamford was injured but can also play the 10 role or out wide in an emergency.
