I've known of our interest in Rodriguez for less than a day and after 4 mins of highlights on youtube I'm not sure how I'll continue if we don't sign him.

can you imagine being told 'you're on the right today'
then the LW bombs down the outside and goes to pop a cross in... honestly of the option of wafting my right foot in the general direction or trying to block with the outside of my left... I'd go for the latter. Also overlapping the rw and he knocks it to you in space and you're approaching the ball. I'd abolutely not attempt to cross it with my right.
Right footers do not understand how horiffically one-footed we are as a species
Left footers always seem to be able to strike a ball clean tho. Usually with power

Looks like Davies starts if we go into the season with no midfield additions

When I saw him, Nkonkou looked quite handy going forward. In the absence of other options, could he be pushed up the pitch a bit as a wide player whilst we have Myko as left back and this other guy as cover.
Starts to give us options and allows us to use the squad more imaginatively

With Vinagre, I'm reading his salary is around 15k pw. An option to buy next year at 8.5m. It feels a very low risk option for us.

This is a key issue.
I admired the way Lampard had us playing in the final 10 games, but it isn’t sustainable long term.
The „we’re going to run a little bit faster than you, we’re going to try a little bit harder than you, we’re going to want it a little bit more than you“ isn’t a viable option over a 38 game season.
A lot of sides will use their heads, pass it around us, wait for us to get tired and exploit the opportunities we give them. That will destroy us and we’ll lose any hope of avoiding another relegation battle.
We need a few players who can get the ball down, retain possession and play some football.
That doesn’t necessarily mean passing out from the back all the time or playing total football. But we need some players with a brain.
Who those players are I don’t know. Proven quality also costs a lot of money, which is a problem (especially with our transfer budget).
I guess this is where thelwell and the scouts come in. Fingers crossed they know of some players that we can actually afford.
We are not shopping in Aldi - it's more like the car boot - TBH ....

Yeah, even if you add on a small loan fee the whole deal will be easily covered by a transfer fee for Broadhead, and it’s one less headache when it comes to gaps in the squad.

If we are signing Ruben Vinagre, can we sign Chris Salt to play in defence with him?
This Vinagre will at least keep us up.
