Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[Lob]

Loan with an option to buy would suit me fine. We have wasted gazillions in recent years on over priced players who ended up being injured or cack or both.

Not that i would say Talk Sport is reliable mind as they are often wrong but it will suit me fine either way.

Not one single striker EVER has had, or will have a 100% strike rate, very few, if any, will have even a 33% rate.

I know but the way some treat Demonic Calvert-Lewin it's like he misses half a dozen chances a game which is patently untrue.

King here seems to be suggesting a permanent deal for James.

Good. The loans were funny in 13/14 with how mad it made people but it would have been massively frustrating if we couldn't get Rom back and I'd like to keep those situations to a minimum.

17.11% conversion rate

In an amazing season for him.

It's always negative with some. How about due to his quality he puts it "on a plate" 4/5 times a game, which he blazes over 60% and buries 40? I know optimism is frowned upon but there are some occasions for positivity. Carlo for 1 and now this cat.

If DCL scored on 40% of his shots he'd score like 40 goals a season. People have a tough time understanding that shots that don't go in aren't always a negative.

He's bad.

Course he is

17.11% conversion rate

Which is probably not good enough but at the same time that's about 1 out of 6 shots going in and he shot about 3 times a game last year meaning... he's scoring every other game. So actually it might be fine.

Yes a loan fee.

Literally just ripping off Fabrizio.

Lads have got nothing to celebrate so rather than support/encourage the players they choose to tear massive chunks from them at any and every opportunity. He bagged 15 last season playing in front of that midfield so by my reckoning he'll score more when then quality of service improves. No brainer really.

I'm surprised it's that low.

True, but with the service a new midfield including James and the opportunity of training with him day in day out I can easily see goals of double digits, high teens for Dom

I personally think Kean has a higher ceiling and I'd like to see him given an opportunity to establish himself. Dom is good too, but Kean has the ability to maneuver a yard of space and shoot that could separate him from an average player.

The loan seems like a way to push the majority of the FFP hit to next season's account.
