If he wants to play football he will.

Tosun isnt daft - he knows he hit the jackpot here however he's also a professional athlete and he wont be happy sat not playing for another 2 years.

As is the case with Rodriguez- do you think James will be happy taking a likely 50% or so paycut to join Everton?

Every time I have seen James´s salary quoted here it is at 8M€, which works out at around 135,000 pounds per week... Im not sure he would need to take a huge cut from that

His wages are quoted as £200k a week on the Madrid wages list.

...one point I will add is it’s not only the player who will take a cut in salary, it’s their representatives too. These players are like a PLC. They don’t just have agents, i remember Arteta employing his own physio etc who worked out of FF.

Yeah, but his Agent would prefer him to move every year to pick up a hefty Agents fee.

6 clean sheets in 7 PL games

And it took him only 5 seasons to play those seven games.

You're the only person here who doesn't think he's any good so I'd just give up if I were you.

 

[Cels]

So... which one of our targets are we 'edging closer' to signing today then?

Howling here
Haha

I didn't say I didn't think he was any good.
I just don't believe there is a chance he will be brought in to replace Pickford.

He will be brought in to provide greater compensation for Pickford and to make Pickford up his performances.
I fully expect Pickford will be our first choice keeper this season.

 

[Bluestar]

Thought everyone was against buying more Manure cast offs.

We are desperate for a competent keeper. Someone who can really put Pickford under pressure.
We will also be working within financial constraints, so this seems to make sense to me.

 

[rockin' robin]

From what I've heard we are actively trying to get rid and Carlo isnt having any of his "I want to stay and fight for my place" rubbish.

Tosun also took being subbed off by Big Dunc to heart and apparently they dont see eye to eye.

You also have to factor in that its in a players benefit to lower their wages to get a longer contract elswhere.

James Rodriguez is a perfect example of that - take a pay cut and get a salary coming in for the next 3 yrs or sit around at Real and be guaranteed nothing next season.

Same way if Tosun was to half his wages and move to a Celtic type club on a 4-5 year deal it benefits him more than sat on our bench for 2 years, his contract expiring and potentially having no half decent club wanting to offer him a contract bar the duck and dogs local side at a fiver per game.

What have you heard? Your post often suggest you have ITK status. Have you? Or if not, stop pretending that you have to big yourself up

 

[Paul Rideout]

Is it €200k though?

Don't need to be an ITK to have a common sense view of football.

Just so you all know, our new signing Allan's name is pronounced Are Larn. I just found out and thought I'd pass it on. It'll help to make him feel welcome.

Mind you, we never knew how to pronounce Jagielka's name and it didn't seem to bother him.

....think he’ll have to get used to hearing ‘Alan, lad” and just hope he doesn’t think he looks like Shane.
