I would be more than happy for Rodriguez to go if the right money comes in.
The guy still is a great pro, has tremendous work rate and a decent shot butt his all round play leaves a lot to be desired. His passing and link up is particularly poor.
If you take away his penalties last season, he was hardly prolific. And isn't getting any younger either.
The fact both Rodriguez and Rondon will go is why I'm so confused about why that moron Dowling released the statement about not signing Gayle previously. Surely if you sell Rondon and Rodriguez for circa £28m, you would be happy to spend £10-£12m on Gayle as he's the one striker absolutely guaranteed to get goals at this level. IMO it would make sense to sell Rondon and Rodriguez for circa £28m and then invest £10-£12m in Gayle and £2-3m on a younger player, probably from abroad as back up. If anything, we would probably see a better balance up top than what we had this season.
Unfortunately the clowns running the club don't see the value in Gayle despite the fact he's head and shoulders above the rest of the strikers in this division.
