Even though he was free he wasn't representing any value given the trumped up wages he wanted.
Only real difference is the shirt colour, like.

Has anyone else noticed the difference in spin, between the Sigurdsson and Rodallega moves, and how the press are covering them?
When Sigurdsson turns down the RS to go to Spurs for more money (because Rodgers refused to bow to his wage demands), the RS are given sympathetic coverage, along the lines of Rodgers making a pithy remark that gets him compared Shankly, about how Sigurdsson turned down 'the legendary Liverpool to join Spurs'.
However, when Rodallega turns down Everton to go to Fulham for more money, because Moyes wouldn't bow to his wage demands (and Prentice of the Echo confirmed it - it's not a case of 'couldn't', it's a case of 'wouldn't), Everton gets press headlines along the lines of 'outbid', 'missed out', 'couldn't afford him' and 'priced out of the move'. Stuff like this always makes me laugh.

It's not true though; there's players on very good wages at Everton. Arteta was on £70k a week before he went.
The club felt Rodallega simply wasn't worth what he wanted. I don't blame them; it's hard to justify giving someone who had a hard time getting into the Wigan team last season so much money.
Calm down, it's only Hugo Rodallega we're talking about here.
The guy who missed about 10 or so great opportunities at Wigan last year.
The guy who Roberto Martinez dropped for Di Santo.
Calm down.

Arteta was not on £70k per week.
Yes he was.

Perhaps, but if we could afford to pay our top players more you think we wouldn't? And then we could offer ppl like Rodellega competitive wages without breaking our wage structure or him becoming one of our top earners.... ergo wouldn't = couldn't
Wouldnt have minded Hugo as he would have gave us options and depth, for 70k - no way.
