Transfer Rumour James Rodriguez

[PDAWG]

Two knee ligament injuries in 12 months....

He's knackered

We shouldn't be anywhere near him

No wonder they only want 40m for him

Him and Delph will get a great opportunity to bond.....in the treatment room

 

[Moomin]

Very very welcome to Le Ev.

I didn't want to jinx this one.

I think a loan with a buy out fee would be perfect. Get to see if he can do it in the prem and then decide whether to make it prem or not.

Remember thinking how good Michael Keane looked in that team. Different types of players obviously but you're right we should be looking at attracting better players.

I understand that you can pluck out an Andy Robinson out of a smaller team but the odds of them becoming world beaters are so slim.

We need to get the monopoly money out if we want to win trophies.

I never thought Keane was any good,he's to soft. Remember Lukaku absolutely murdering him a few seasons back and coming to my conclusions about him back then.

I’m 30 next year and still haven’t given up hope of being scouted by Everton.

Same am 33,and for the first 10 minutes of our Thursday night 5 aside game,I still think I could do job...15 minutes in,Reality hits home.

Indeed.

Having said that, I was ecstatic when we signed a certain centre back from a Welsh club based on how he looked immense every time he came here

Haven’t you been banging the Danny Ings drum??

It’s also hard to follow conversations when your ignore list is above 50 active users.

Ive got over 300, its fine.

Quite disappointed that despite having 300 I've yet to ascend.

Do ya ever wonder how many have you on ignore?

I thought Williams would have turned out alot better myself,but that's also why am sat in office Monday to Friday.

Hardly any I’d notice I imagine.

I'm 37 and we had a Staff V Students basketball game just before the Christmas holidays I was done after 5 minutes... new year's resolution get back to a decent fitness level.

No.

I just said I'd rather have Ings than Rodriguez if it was either / or. That's not the same thing.

I also said that if I had £35m I'd sign neither.

Class player but is he a sick note?

In all seriousness I'm not sure hes that suited to English football..

Not for me, I don’t actually think he’s all that. Made out of wet cardboard too.

He was great at Bayern just a bit of a risk given his injury record -- he'll cost a bomb in wages and fees alike to possibly miss a lot of the season.

for 40m? no thanks

I feel like big clubs wouldn't touch him because of this. So maybe we shouldn't?

He’s a big name, but I’d prefer to be spending that type of money on someone else and younger.

Swerve...

I really want to but his age and injuries won't allow me to enjoy the thought

No I don't think he will suit us and I don't think we are after him or should be. Good player but a lot of injuries and a number ten.

This reminds me of when the rs signed Morientes. Too much money for a hyped up player

He's 29 at the end of the season. £50m would be far too much money for somebody with effectively no resale value. Rather goes against the model we are supposedly looking to operate

It does feel v surreal, but I genuinely would swerve this lad, we can't afford a treatment room table-warmer at the price quoted

I probably agree, we arent talking a few niggles here, hes basically been injured for 5 years.
And hes on 270k a week.

29 in July and his knee is goosed.
no thank you.

Class player but perhaps go after someone similar without the injury record Rodriguez has.

He's knackered
We shouldn't be anywhere near him

.......but when I say it, it's 'edgy' and 'contrarian'

Saying he’s injury prone isn’t edgy. Saying you’d pick Danny Ings over him at the same price is.

I'd say I have a nice few. I do chat an awful lot of nonsense on here.
