I still can’t quite believe that this will happen, but, if it does it will be a great move for us on many levels. We get a very very gifted player, with a finely tuned football brain, we raise our club profile significantly on the international stage, we keep Carlo happy by giving him one of the players he trusts and respects.
I think that the club will go all out to get this one done if they can, I can just imagine Mosh now, calling old yellow tie at sky to tell him about our Hollywood signing “ good ebening Jim.

I’ve seen a fair bit of him - he was still excellent for Madrid and for a good while. His first season on loan at Bayern he was also excellent. Last two seasons he hasn’t played as much due to injuries / not fitting coaches tactical plans, but still posts good numbers for his appearances.
IF, (and it’s a big if) we can keep him fit and playing, he would be an excellent signing. Carlo does play a 4-4-2, but likes a fluid formation where one winger acts as a playmaker and the other acts as a out and out winger, so he would fit in as a wide playmaker, likely cutting inside from the right wing. He would be our most creative player by a country mile, and we severely lack creativity.
We also need to consider the commercial side and profile of Everton - James Rodriguez is a superstar and would massively improve our profile in numerous ways
Edit: for the stats guys, here are some figures:
Since moving to Monaco in 2013, James Rodriguez has had a direct hand in 106 goals in 162 games in Europe's top five leagues.
He's averaged a goal or an assist every 102 minutes in that time

If he comes he needs to play as the no10 where he can run the game. We don't want him stuck out on the wing, esp with a history of muscle injurys.

What has me uneasy is that none of these dossers are gone. When Schneidelin went to Nice fairly early I was hopefully we would be shifting this lot.....
Hamaz's wages wouldn't be so much of a concern if we got rid of Sigy.

Although Bernard is not our main problem he is on a very big wage due to being signed on a free agent, would James play a similar amount of games as him even if he had injuries, probably. Getting rid of Bernard could go a long way to covering James wages.

you don't get many opportunities to sign a player of his quality so when a chance like this presents itself you have to take it. Blue tinted specs off for a second there is no way he'd even consider coming here if Carlo wasn't in charge and isn't that why we have him. to attract world class names?
