2020/21 James Rodriguez

[dead_soft]

I've zero issue with that comment...would be kopite behaviour from anyone who does...

I genuinely think that's the most positive any Everton player can be about the club. It's the current team's equivalent of 'I'd break every bone for Everton;

He's just being 100% correct isn't he? Nothing to get annoyed about.

Indeed, we should ban anyone singing "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" from Goodison for borderline criminal levels of fake news.

To be fair, there is nothing better than hearing a full goodison belting that out after we've just scraped a late winner against a league 1 team in the fa cup

Clear as day that the feller isn't fussed about staying or going. If a club come in and want him and all he's asking, we'll let him go. If they don't, he's sound with that and will play. He's not making a big shake up to leave and we don't really want him to either

Got no problem with this. The longer it goes on, the more chance he stays which is good.

"ACMilan continues to see James Rodríguez (30) as a priority, but for the moment is making inquiries rather than offers. The situation could stretch 10/15 days more to reduce the value (fee) with Everton"

Looks like it will be a test of Everton's will and Rafael's intentions. Apparently Milan are going to hold out till the very end of the transfer window to try and nickel and dime Everton over the fee.

We are not really in a position to do that though

Milan will have to face market realities in the same way we have to.

If they want him, they must stump up fair value, if not he stays.

We should have a stated policy of incremental increases in players price as the window close gets closer to address such tactics IMO.

I've just had a cheap bar of chocolate from Aldi, it wasn't the best.

Oooh, I quite like Aldi chocolate tbf. Great for making brownies as well, and way cheaper than branded stuff, especially for baking.

milan is clearly playing chicken with everton. if benitez ends up not even benching james , the rumour about him not wanting james will ensure a price drop in james possible fee... theres some irational hate towards benitez for sure , BUT saying " i dont want you / you wont play with me " to the player the club wants to sell was complete (if true) stupidity . if i were the boss i would be pretty pissed about that...

The fee won't matter if we need him off the books to make signings due to the wages. We'd like more but as long as the club know he's leaving, we'll do our business and conclude on James whenever to get him gone IMO

Agreed. Any rationale business person would do same in Milan's shoes given what they are hearing on Rafael's intentions.

If Rafael starts James on Saturday and they play well this next week will be very interesting. If Rafael benches James or leaves him at home...

We are not really in a position to do that though

Why not?

Milan- can we sign Rodriquez
Us- yes 20m
Milan- no we aren't paying that
Us- sound, koff then.

He's already said he's doesn't mind where his future is, either sell him and get him replaced asap ( whixh would be stupid ) or tell Milan he's not going and get him ready for the start of the season because without Rodriquez were not creating anything

 

[Toffeepot]

People will kick off about this but I’m 99% sure in Spanish “not the best” will be far more literal than we’d use it

We finished 10th, haven't won anything in 26 years. If he called us the best he'd need his noggin' checked tbf

Couldn't see him during the Richarlison celebration today, probably doesn't mean anything but you never know.

 

[andy4efc]

Past caring to be honest. Would rather he stay and see him in blue but if he goes he goes.

i though the same thing when i watched it. Probably nothing, he may have been in the gym or something.
