Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[Eggs]

Sure but what other club holes players up in hotels for a week before they sign, they literally fly in and sign.

...I suppose Allan was pretty much like that given he was tracked in last Wednesday. Clearly not straightforward here.

Don't shoot the messenger but apparently he turned up to training, saw Walcott spoon one wide, and went to the airport

No wonder it’s taking time , Given the amount of times he’s been in a cab he’ll need a decent signing on fee to cover his Uber charges .

Frustrating times to wait for the announcement, but as many here has already stated, there are probably some (ten) thousands of evertonians losing their patience, but now we are talking about one of the last decades most popular players globally. If the club needs an extra day to make everything perfect for the announcement, then they better use it. This is the biggest communications opportunity we have had for ages, potential audience of hundreds of millions of people globally, so we better make best out of it.

If we eventually get J-Rodez for around £22m then we're only paying around £2m more (excluding salary etc) than Newcastle did for Callum Wilson and we have a world class player only 8 months older than Callum Wilson

I’m very disappointed in our fan base here on GOT. Badly let down last night. No pictures of James and his evening meal last night. Don’t even know where he ate FFS.

3 pm for me 9 am in Colombia.

....it’s not like moving from one Zingari League club to another, I imagine these multi-million contracts are mega-complex involving the decommission of the deal with the selling club as well as the detail of the new contract.

i dare say the players have very little involvement and are just as keen to have it done as the fans are.

Not to mention sponsorship etc.. what do Adidas make of him moving? Does this mean a rewrite of their contract etc Do we need to wait for Colombian journo’s to get across for the unveil etc Bet Marcels head has nearly fallen off with all the boxes to tick on this one!

Chiquitos... even though it’s shut at the moment

Should we start to get worried?

If I wasn't worried I'd be worried!

Rodriguez was here the same time but still hasn’t signed, deffo not as straight forward as we’ve been told.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Going to be absolute banter when he lines up against Spurs and the Everton media team realise they forgot to announce him

 

[Mildredblues]

why don’t we just wrap him in bubble wrap so he doesn’t get any nasty grazes?

he’s a footballer, he’s paid to play football, not sure why you wouldn’t want him to do that?

he’s going to pick up knocks mate, it’s part of the game.

Whooosh

Here's the reason for the hold up.

Just heard the club have agreed to give James the no.10 shirt as it ties in with his Adidas sponsorship.

Every no.10 shirt has gone missing & a big investigation is under way , a red faced Sigurddson said "Dont look at me I was away on International du.........oh err."

True story.

When were we told it was straight forward? I must have missed the email.
