2021/22 James Rodriguez

Question. Why aren't the club doing more to ship 120k p/wk Gomes, 90-100k p/wk Delph, or 110k p/wk Tosun out of the club outside the UK transfer window? That'd free up a lot of money, wouldn't it.

That is where any normal Evertonian ire will be focused. That three offer very little to nothing.

I feel for Gomes, and he can still be useful but compared to his wage, he doesn't offer enough

Delph, enough said.

Tosun. Well he's been unlucky with injuries but we've had tons of other chances to move him on.

The Kenny thing is another joke, that mad loan to Celtic instead of just selling him to Burnley in January and clearing his wage

By that logic in the world that we live in now we cannot have any player whose profile is big enough to have a significant following on social media - so no or very few top tier players.

He played through an injury for months but when out injured, like Doucoure was last season, should be singled out and treated differently? I say differently as I have not seen posts of you and others vilifying Doucoure for being injured.

He is no different to any other player irrespective of his profile. I would never vilify a player for being injured but I would and have questioned James's and Ancelotti's claptrap about him being fatigued.........

Doucoure had a broken toe, James was tired - doesn't that piss you off, even in the slightest?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

If I was Doucoure and running my cahones off and pulling my tripe out I think I might be just a tad miffed to see James strolling around and failing to track runs and work back.
And that thought might just permeate through the team and affect the collective spirit that Benitez seems to have engendered.

Following that logic, if you were DCL you would be looking at Alan and you would be a tad miffed that he was leaving all the goal-scoring to you.

And if you were James you'd be feeling a tad miffed that DCL and Richy were missing too many of the chances that you were creating for them.

maybe mate. I suppose it’s horses for courses. No doubt we’ve seen more from Doucoure this season already but to be fair to James, he can do some amazing things on the pitch when it comes to passing and shots from distance. Not sure if I’d want him constantly tracking back etc but he’s maybe too much of a luxury for the level we’re at - or maybe he’s at a level that would elevate us???

I imagine he was / is!

OK, so you are just listening to hearsay and presenting it as fact. Great.

That applies to 99.99% of everything posted in here tbh lol

For some reason the Park End dars have got it in for him and just can’t let go.

Who’d have thought the Park End was full of world renowned sports psychologists, fitness experts, physios and specialists in human behaviour and body language.

Maybe the club should put out an appeal over the tannoy at half time, for them to join the back room staff.

But you are in this instance, mate.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Cba with us loaning him out to Porto and stull paying 100k a week. May as well just use him ourselves

But you are in this instance, mate.

I am questioning tiredness of a player who in the last 10 years has never completed a full season

If I went through the vaults you must have been absolutely savaging Gbamin for the past two years!

I could understand the loan (not paying any of his wages) or sending him to Porto on a free if it meant getting Diaz. Diaz isn't as good but is more suited to an intense, counter-attacking style and at 24 could go on to be a top-calibre winger. It's good to see we wanted him and hopefully we go back in.

However, the fact that the club are still wanting to move James on without getting a replacement in just shows how incompetent the people at the top are. We're knackered financially and it's on them.
