Really, I didn’t even look, so the criticism of ‘he’s a walking red card’ isn’t even valid? Ha ha. It really is just sheep following one opinion that seems to prevail for no reason.

A quick Google shows 1 red card for Argentina in 2016 the 'kin liability

If we are trying to get the wages down but bring in Rojo who is on £120k a week then we need our heads testing.

At least with Mina, he is young (23) and you have a sellable aspect of him.

Rojo is injury prone, red card magnet and part of one of the worst defences in the World Cup.

Plus they want £20 MILLION!

When will we learn that if they can't do it at United, they can't do it here aka The Kanchelskis Rule.

He hasn't had a single red card in any competitive fixture for Manchester United since he signed in 2014.

Just saying.

Cant stand Williams but Rojo is just as bad and we would actually be spending £££ on him

You’ve got to be joking.

Sold Funes Mori who was ahead of Rojo for Argentina. LOL.

Think Funes Mori is not ahead of Rojo in the national team. Rojo played in the WC and Mori was not in the WC squad.

Decided the story is false or at least we've just asked if Rojo is available as a back up option, whilst we try and complete Mina and United or Everton have leaked this story to push Mina for a decision.

My theory - us and Utd working together. This forces Wolves hand with regards to Rojo and possibly forces Mina and his agents hand if they think we’re getting Rojo. Utd know they’re getting Alderweireld so don’t need Mina.

Ever the optimist.

Well, yeah, he was injured for most of last season like.

When you see what has followed him. I did. I don’t care. Yeah his comments about United used to annoy me but he was a decent holding mid and a good right back. He had a good partnership with Arteta in midfield and could put a decent ball in. A team with characters like Cahill Arteta Fellaini Lescott Howard all accepted him as captain without question.

‘Awful’ is a term I’d use for some of the soul destroying displays I’ve seen in the last 4 years at Everton from some of the worst players to wear the jersey. Phil Neville is nowhere near that bracket.

Neville played on far too long, but from 2005-2009/10 he was a key part of a relatively successful team (obviously, not the actual success we all craved).

Dropped off massively and yes, he was a bad s******* at times, but the stick he gets is wrong.

When fully fit he's ahead of him

No, that's not our standard. But the post I was responding to was implying that Funes Mori and Rojo are of the same quality - they aren't.

That doesn't make Rojo great, or Rojo the answer. As I said in my post.

I think they are. Rojo had the benefit of playing under 2 very defensively minded managers in Van Gaal and Mourinho and still looked suspect. Imagine him here. We already brought 1 CB in Keane who was great in a defensive system but is awful when not.
