2021/22 James Rodriguez

and we would be absolutely insane to take that (if this is James you're on about)

Theo Walcott is one thing.

If anybody at Everton grants James Rodriguez, going to another club, and we'd still be paying him £75k-150k a week to play for that club, instead of paying him to play for us, when we have Andros friggin Townsend, then they'd need shooting.

I mean it. In the face.
You are right but Andros friggin Townsend has one more assist than Rodriguez this season ;)
 
Pragmatism. If it helps us on the pitch and eases an unwanted player ut of the club it'd be worth it.

No, it'd be stupid.

Like I said, it's one thing with Walcott.

But to do it with a player of James' quality - absolutely friggin insane, given the position we are in and the squad we have, because we wouldn't be able to invest those wages in any more than one decent player so it still wouldn't solve an issue.

I have no issue with people saying if he goes fully it clears wages. Fine, it does. We shouldn't have to do it, but we are where we're at.

If we did what you're suggesting, we should go bust and just fold. It'd be completely idiotic.
 
Dowell?

Nah. Good player.

Oh Dave…I admire your consistency, but the team you wanted to build around would be mid table in the championship.
 

I for one hope he stays and i get to see him live. Did more in 25 games last year than 6 or 7 players have done in 3 seasons. We dont get nice things. Lets have him for 20 games this season to fit in the games unlike Saturdays. They wont all be like that. Just watch the anfield win last year . Just needs head down n stay off twitch if he doesn't get his move
 
Get half that wage off the books and it finances a new player.

I can see another club - knowing the position we're in - leaving it to the last day of the window and saying "we'll take him on loan, but we'll only poay 50% of what he's on at Everton".
Delph
Iwobi
Davies
Kenny
Holgate
Tosun
Kean
Even Gomes
A massive amount off the wage bill .

Get rid of these and it finances 3 new players.

Keep the quality like James , add more quality.

Get rid of the rubbish.

I think you're forgetting the one major point here: James doesn't want to be at Everton. He really doesn't. That's why he's using social media to get attention. His link with Everton left to go to Madrid. He isn't interested in this club.

I find it hard to take that people on this forum - fellow Evertonians - are embarrassing themselves by going to bat for this utter waster.

He'll be gone form Everton in a matter oif a fortnight. Good riddance. Then hopefully many of you will come to your senses and crack on. He's not worth a second thought IMO.
 
Very limited attraction to most clubs.
He'll play quite regularly
I think he'll go late? Not a massive wage.
Late departure
He'll probably stay. Wouldn't be shocked if he starts with Godfrey Saturday
Injured. He'll run down his current deal and sign a pre-contract in Jan.
On reputation alone, the only one whole maybe command a useful fee.
Even Gomes
Hardy a line out the door.
Get rid of the rubbish.
It's not easy, because it's rubbish.
