2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Groucho]

Every player in the world is for sale at the right price.

And let’s be honest, we don’t need luxury players at this point, we need grafters.

One man does not make a club.

This is true

But it doesn't mean we give him away. If we are fairly compensated, sure sell him. But it makes no sense to give away a player like James, when even if he plays 50% of the games gives us moments of magic no one else can in our side

Thought he had left the way people are going on. Of course he still might but chill until its confirmed

Still rather have than not have him, even if it is for 20 games a season

Same. He is astonishing when on it.

Best I have seen.

 

[cahill 17]

If we do add pace around him when fit he’d be even better I’d be keeping him

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Only we could have a player like Rodriguez only for him to play for us for one year during a pandemic and none of us see him play live

Great point. I've just started trying to think of the luxury players we've had in the last forty years. I can't think of many.
In fact, the most glorified, honoured players were those that weren't the most blessed technically, but those that left it all out on the pitch. That's what I want..... With a James cherry on top.

And replace him with Andros Townsend. Thanks again Everton for killing my dreams.

Probably Duncan McKenzie, and Gordon Lee got pelters for selling him, although the team the following season improved. The team should always come first, preferably with a bit of luxury thrown in if possible.

 

[Chewbacca]

Might get more out of him with some grafters and runners in the team rather than the idle gets we have now

 

[kenada_blue]

Be Coutinho replacing him if he goes nailed on.

Coutinho probably the better fit as well in terms of having a bit more pace, energy.

It's phrased quite strangely. James is "up for sale". So is it we're wanting to get rid...or he wants to go? If he wants to go, he'll go regardless of us dictating anything. It comes across like we're wanting him off the books.

So if he goes and we get Coutinho...he still takes James' huge wage?

When did I say give him away free?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I'd rather he stays than he goes. we don't need the cash and we wont replace him with better.

 

[BlueStevie35]

He’ll play the two games in Florida then be off I reckon, be massively surprised if he plays at United and even more so if he’s still here by the opener
