Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[NathDogg]

Big Yerry's been onto his mate Hameth, and told him how comfy the treatment tables are at Finch Farm.

Joking aside, how can you not be excited for this potential signing - I still think the lad is world class, and the Don knows and trusts him. If it means no Iceland in the team, it's an even bigger yes!

I get the concerns on the risk with his injury record, but for once we have to hope that a players injury issues have happened before Everton has touched them - we've had bloody shocking luck with injuries for years, that cycle has to break soon!

We need a few good older pros who the gaffer wants, knows and trusts - we've got potential already in the squad - signing lads at 28 plus yo ain't the end of the world.

Hameth and Allan could be this generations Andy Gray and Paul Power (please make it so!).

Would instantly be our best creative player.

How good he is depends on who else we bring in, need one or two who will put the legs and graft into the midfield, actually keep hold of a football and give it to him in good positions.

 

[Parker]

It all depends on keeping the guy fit, if Rodriguez is on a football pitch he guarantees you goals and assists.

However need I remind you that last season we signed a player with no injury history whatsoever and we've seen about 90 minutes of football from him and are unlikely to see him anytime soon...

Rodriguez under Ancelotti...Played 32,scored 14, assisted 14.

3 seasons for Real before Bayern he got 28 goals and 27 assists in 77 games over 3 seasons

 

[Bullens Rd]

Still think it's Davies and Sigurdsson first game.

This would be superb on a 3 year deal, though could mean he'd be on astronomical wages like.

Apparently all personal terms are agreed, it's just the fee with Real.

So wages will have already been looked at in relevance to the club

Needs spamming if it happens

What does The Esk get out of pouring cold water over anything remotely positive?

 

[toffee66]

Worst case scenario I would rather see a half fit James come off the bench with 15 to go trying to rescue a point at The Tin Mine than a half fit Bolasie or fully fit Sandro.

Don't know the year of data, but phwoar...
