2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Deleted member 48881]

Maybe.

Or he is going to a rubbish retirement league because he has been forced out by the manager and feels like he has no other option.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Personally I don't care, players come and players go. Most of them are not that bothered if we are being honest. We are not a "destination" club and have not been for many years.

Yeah, my thoughts.

I mean the people running our football club making a series of dreadful decisions mate. There's nobody to blame but ourselves. Of course Moshiri has pumped money in, but he's given it to the wrong people to spend. Our DoF is hopeless, we've now given full charge of recruitment to Benitez who just wants his old toggers coming in just like Carlo - difference is he's brought in Townsend and Rondon who as showed the other day aren't going to be the answer.

so free transfer Townsend with a few assists and a couple of goals out of 5 appearances isn't who we should have got, and ditto Rondon on the basis of his first 60 minutes in 5 months two days ago?
Are you saying we shouldn't have bought them full stop, or there were other free transfers out there offering better value?

The school of science was re-opened by Martinez...and you hounded him from day one of his time as manager here.

You utter fraud.


lol lol lol

Bit rich when all you’ve done is hound Baines one of our finest players in decades

 

[davek]

This means we can get a player or two in January.

It closed in about 1987, we've been rubbish for my entire lifetime.

Let's not be overly dramatic Chris

It was always open Tim, the fans no matter how bad we were always appreciated and admired skilful, technically gifted players

Now they’re rather see PL journeymen running. The tide has changed, it’s closed when the fans don’t know what we once were

 

[blueconverse]

He has obviously reached a decent level with getting to Madrid but his career must be looked at like what could have been. All that talent but no drive and going to UAE leagues is embarrassing for a player of his calibre.

Brands must be fuming as he will have had to open his laptop by the pool to negotiate this deal.

 

[BNJ1878]

Oh I see the media briefing is in full swing today.

We’re now at £200k+. Amazing and pathetically see through approach

OK, what do you HONESTLY think he's on?

Hound him? He put a knife into the back of his own manager and team mates on live tv coverage of one of our European games.

Bollocks to that snake.

 

[nsno-chris]

And yet totally believable

Not in the slightest.

well, only by those who buy into the media overdrive of the clubc

 

[UptheTofees]

Apparently he is doing this for the NT

he needs minutes to play for Colombia so he is going wherever he can get them

if this is true, he really must know he had no shot of playing under Rafael

sucks

 

[Brennan]

OK, what do you HONESTLY think he's on?

£20k plus pay as you play bonuses. Poor James just wanted to reopen the school of science and that horror Benitez has forced him to go to Qatar.

Outrageous I tell ya.

 

[nsno-chris]

OK, what do you HONESTLY think he's on?

Well if the Echo, known for their truth and not in the slightest as catalyst for the club to tell fairytales, tell he’s on £200k+ a week then who am I to question it

As long as the fans lap it up, the job is done

 

[neil999]

This means we can get a player or two in January.

Squads so thin I'm not even sure we will fighting for anything anyway...

 

[Steve Wigan]

I hope he can persuade Quatar to pay him enough to make him go there. Then we can file him with those other great Everton players David Ginola, Mark Hughes, Samuel Et'o and the rest and move on.

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

It shows the calibre of player the fans want and appreciate. When pure skill is traded for workmanlike cloggers

Spin it however you want, you’re all responsible for this.

The school of science is closed as of 20-Sep-2021

Spouting crap comes naturally to you it would seem
