Why on earth did we sell James Rodriguez?

[Deleted member 48881]

at least Rondon is available.

available as in just jogging around? yeah mate.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

instead we have to endure is best mate torturing us fans by playing him and us watching the fat waste of space stand still and drip buckets of sweat

At least he's sweating.
That's how low the bar is on James Rodriguez.
He's like an Porsche 911 with a flat tire & no gear box. No use but pretty to look at. Rondon is a second hand Rover 25: worthless but driveable.

That’s an awful analogy considering, in 7 games, the fat waster has barely moved.

But if you so called “Evertonians” would actually want Rondon in your team over James Rodriguez then you fully deserve nothing.

Thank god I’ve seen this club win things

I want a fit & willing Rodriguez in the team. Yes please. He would walk in the squad no problem.
My point: he's not fit & he's not willing.

poor analogy but I would say that even with an immobile Posche 911 you have more chance of scoring than with a Rover 25. see that the way you chose...

Townsend is probably on about £50k. There's no way Rondon was on anything like £100k a week.

So every report of his contract in China was wrong? £100k was at the lower end of the reports. Nobody goes to play in the Chinese league for any reason other than money.

We haven't signed Rondon to replace Rodriguez. We've signed him with a quarter of Rodriguez's wages as a backup for DCL. We've got Gray, Townsend, Rondon and Begovic for less than we were paying Rodriguez to barely play, and we now have some wriggle room for loan deals in January.

 

[windymiller]

I would be amazed if he was on a quarter of that!!

You'd be amazed that Rondon was on £20k a week? Less than JJK?

Hey lady! I have broken Porsche in my garage. Let's shag.
Might work in Ireland though.

None of this is true. Your estimations of player wages is laughable.

They don't. But if they're earning £25k a week in England and get offered 50% more they'll probably leave.

Our total wage bill is a matter of public record, your estimations of player wages are miles off.

Rodriguez was allegedly on £150k to £200k a week. Those 4 players combined won't be on £200k between them.

Really? We publish our individual players wages? Please tell me where in Everton's accounts I can find this information?

allegedly.
@nsno-chris says it's only 90. I'd say it's probably 250+. That's what the Guardian reported & The Echo
