Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[DaChunk]

Don't Everton this please Marcel. Maybe Iwobi can go the other way if funds are genuinely an issue?

To post what you are all thinking but are afraid to say.

Haha, looks like you're on your lonesome

James Rodriguez (27) is to leave FC Bayern München after two years following the end of the loan deal with Real Madrid on 30 June 2019. The Colombia international asked the management at the German record champions not to take up the purchase option agreed with Real. FC Bayern concurred with that request.

On 11 July 2017, it was announced that James was loaned to Bayern Munich on a two-year long deal.[107][108] Bayern paid Real Madrid €13 million as a loan fee for the two season-long loan. With James' loan deal to Bayern, he reunited with his old Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti. Bayern had the option to buy James for €42 million at the end of the loan period.

So if I've got this right:
Bayern might have bought him last year, but James himself told them not to because he wanted to come to the mighty Ev in the summer o' 2020.

This is blatantly the most exciting transfer prospect of the summer.

Our Robinho moment?

We can only hope.

Personally I see it a bit like when Payet went to Wham but James is much better a player than Payet ever was.

About time something nice happened for us

Bayern wanted him 12months ago and were willing to pay 42m for him.

12 months ago.

I think Real Madrid are probably good with not taking any player of ours aside from maybe Richarlison. And even then they've just spent a shedload on lots of young players in his positions.

Are you trying to say Real Madrid would want Iwobi?

Surely this is the best (potential) Everton signing for a long while.
When was the last time you got excited over an Everton signing and who was it?

I think the answer is probably Lukaku for most of us

Last one for me was Kanchelskis.

If you can't get excited by this signing for Everton lad , you are not going to be made happy by anything that the club does. Trust me I have seen so much in the 50 odd years of following them - there are few brighter days than this.

Dont think Lukaku was that exciting though at the time, not to this level. Obviously he is a natural goalscorer and proved that with us, but when we took him on loan he was still a kid, all be it one who had had an excellent season with WBA.

Kanchelskis for me too

Allan and Doucoure with the muscle. Hames and Foden pulling the strings.
A thing of beauty my son.
God bless.

God bless us all x
