Not sure on that mate.
His PL stats last season:
Appearances 23
Minutes played 1775
Goals 6 (3 with left foot, 3 with right foot)
Assists 4
11 "big chances" created
At roughly 1 goal involvement every 2 games he was statistically probably our most effective player last season

We'll miss you.
Think the thing is you should apply his output / contribution over the total number of games not just the ones he was available for, or worst case the statistical average number most players played.
Ie if he’s only played 2/3 of the games his stats would read more like 1 goal involvement every 3 games which might not look quite as stand out as some others who are available more often.
Point being I don’t think anyone doubts that on his day he is the most talented player we have, but over the course of a season does he contribute enough, or significantly more than his peers who cost the club dramatically less…
Personally wish we had the squad to facilitate a player of his type, but right now I don’t think we do
(Cba doing the numbers myself like)

Right player just the wrong time for us unfortunately,I know City have an embarrassment of riches but to me he could do a job for them even in a "bit part" role, look at today,15/20 minutes to go they need a little extra magic or spark, coming off the bench he would be ideal,£50 million he's yours Pep
lol
How would you ever hope to replace a player of this calibre with the 5 to 10m you are quoting?
He won’t play every game but he is likely the game changer in the ones that he does.
….it says lots about his quality, it truly does. He can do things other professionals can’t do but effectiveness is also about what you do when not in possession, it’s about wanting to play & being available.
if you asked every top club in the game which Everton player they wanted, I don’t think Rodriguez would top the wish list.

I won’t leave my Irish mate
my decrease in posting has to do more with a busier lifestyle than with James
Barely have time to keep up with you maniacs lol

…look at City today, I suggest Digne is better than they have, DCL would give them something different and is Grealish truly more effective than Richarlison? It’s a moot point but I’m not convinced he is. Ridriguez would be great at that level.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Off the striker.
Gray started the first half there before swapping with Richy in the 2nd.
No reason why that couldn't happen.
Won't like.

Fair enough mate. I'd say he's the most effective player we have (when on the pitch) but certainly not the most available, and probably not the most dedicated.
I think he's a really good asset to us though (both on and off the pitch) and for that reason I'd like him to stay. We don't really have any other creative midfielders so I think creativity would be a serious issue for us this season if he leaves. He also seems to get on with the rest of the squad.

He is our most effective player on the pitch and off it - commercially.

I'd expect his agent - having got him here on a free - will expect us to release him without a fee, for the benefit of getting his wages off the books... if he's going.
