Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[Lelouch]

Get him in on a 2/3 year deal - stupidity, age, injuries, past it, luxury blah blah moan moan

get him in on a loan- oh my god we will resurrect his career then he will leave us for bigger things blah blah moan moan.

have a day off. But your rucket. Take the ride

You don't think this is a possibility.

Ruining the transfer window again.

Some people won’t be happy because Everton is signing quality.

 

[Neiler]

For everyone. Nice one.

Hopefully we are clever enough to have an option/first preference to sign built in to this.

I think im right in saying we can agree a pre-contract with him in January.

Everything is a possibility. Relax.

Just for clarity, I’m firmly in the sign him up for 2/3 years as I think he’d be a huge and key signing for us. Just my opinion though and recognise the sense behind a loan

Don’t do it......

 

[maccavennie]

Loans are for losers.

8 year deal for this kid please Marcel

 

[Jim Hopper]

TalkSport have said it’s a loan deal from the start. I don’t think it will be a loan.

I think 3 year deal rumours are true.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

The only downside to it being a loan, is if it goes well, we have to go through all this trauma again next summer window

If it goes well, he'll be signing for United or Arsenal for huge wages next summer... If it doesn't, he'll be hoping someone like Villareal or Sociedad take a punt on him for free....if it goes OK without being spectacular, than Welcome to Everton James...

This is a shop window season for him

 

[Terrarian]

No loan, permanent deal please, be gutted if he goes elsewhere on the back of a good season.

Can’t see them loaning him to us when his contracts up this year.

Unless it’s a loan with obligation to take him on next year, in which case it’s good for us on a business sense.

 

[barneygumble]

Presumably if it is a loan he'll have already agreed to a contract for once the 'loan' finishes. Some additional money will go to Madrid after he's made something silly like 5 or 10 appearances at the end of the season on top of the 'loan fee'.





talkSPORT sources = Moshiri texting Jim White

No way are Madrid agreeing to this.

So if he's on £250k, are we paying all of this, and waiving the fee? Yet Real want €25m?

Something doesn't add up. We'll buy him, and we'll pay €20m i reckon.

 

[Nymzee]

Loan is just smart business. With his injury record and enormous wages he could cripple us if he came here and was out for ages & couldn’t shift.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Just can’t see Madrid wanting to loan him out with a year left on his deal unless they are truly desperate to get him off their wage bill but then given he’s on around 200k per week, means they would still have to pay a percentage of that because we couldn’t afford that full amount. Also I’m pretty sure other clubs would be willing to offer them cash for him.

I call BS on the loan shout.
