2021/22 James Rodriguez

[BlueToff]

Wage to minutes on the pitch ratio just not attractive enough for any side from Europe to take a punt on him.

Not in their current financial situation, absolutely. Which would have meant Everton subsidising his wage (as we saw with the offer to Porto for Diaz, and when Istanbul came calling).

Now, hopefully, given how rich the Qatari clubs are, that isn't the case here. But if Everton are reported (reliably) to be subsidising his wage, then that is just utter, utter madness.

He isn't on 200k. It would be better if the manager stopped refusing to pick him.

He is. Guardian reported it.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

I’m still waiting for you to apologise for your abhorrent language

eh?
I'm a scholar & a gentleman!

Interesting:
Approx 2000 minutes of the pitch (being generous here), not counting for extra time.
Total cost: 54 weeks at 200k: 10.8m

Makes: £5400 per minute played. 486000 per completed match...

This player should only have a thread when he gets fit & starts to play for us....

Ignore him mate... only just realised this guy used to be/is Sapie88, one of the biggest WUMs GOT has ever seen.

Sapie is a sweetheart and you will apologize right now

 

[BlueToff]

He is. Guardian reported it.

And the Guardian and loads of other places reported he was on much less this time last year

What a complete tosser and waster and w....r good riddance. I understand Tom Davies asked to to to Qatar as his man servant but they could not agree on a wage. Also Tom's fashion sense might upset a few in Qatar.

 

[RomanReigns]

sometimes you just wish the club would just come out and say it

if benitez doesnt want anything to do with james, just come out and say it

if james doesnt want anything to do with Benitez, just come out and say it

 

[stamullenblue]

Just get him gone. Close the thread and move on to something positive … sick of hearing about him !

She had no problem kicking the bucket though did she Joey

my ears are still ringing from that.

Is that what carlo did? The lying bolox.

Honestly it's starting to feel like its personal for Rafael regarding James. How does Rondon start a game when he has played less football than James has in the last 6 months.

We started the year already missing a midfielder due to suspension and now have DCL and Richarlison out with injury. Bare bones. I reckon we will see Simms before we James though. It needs to be sorted out. He is contracted to the club, getting paid good money and we need bodies.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Wait?

No other decent team decided to take him?

Odd...

Nice one for the Richarlison assist at the pit, but good riddance.

Said time and time again - we can't slate the mentality of this team and then give him a free pass.

He swerved playing for the club because he felt tired. Ancelotti's words, not mine.

His international setup told him to jog on because although he wasn't injured, he'd been sat on his arse playing games and not fit.

He made disrespectful comments towards the club while sat on his arse, playing those games. "I don't even know who Everton are playing next"

There's a reason we were able to sign him. There's a reason why only bottom of the league in Turkey, and a team in Qatar want him.

What do you have against Tom mate?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Honestly it's starting to feel like its personal for Rafael regarding James.

No doubt.

But he must have his reasons.

As did Zidane, Colombia's management etc.

Team>>>>>>>>> Individual.

Even if it is James Rodriguez.
