Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[ClausThomsen]

If he signs I'm assuming he will go back to Spain after his Portugal holiday so will be quarantined for 14 days when he gets here

There's probably a workaround if your employee agrees to very regular and very expensive private testing.

Ancelotti remains keen on a deal for Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez, another player he has worked with previously in his managerial career. Discussions continue, although there is a need for Everton to trim back their squad to raise funds.

He'll just go back to Portugal and fly from there.

Anyway, it's not as if anyone checks that you're quarantining when you arrive in the UK.
Boris is far too incompetent for that sort of thing.

James won’t be a loan literally nobody has said it besides Talksport and Tribal football.

 

[FTY]

Is it only Talksport running the loan story?

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I don’t think he’ll be on loan tbf, only source reporting that is talksport FYI

I love Andre, Rico and Luca.

I like Maso, Seamus and Dom.

Big Mick Keggers ?

Changed my mind on him under Carlo.

Season long loan and then pick him up on a free next summer, or pay £25m for him this summer? Hmmmm.

Some of the media suggesting it’s a loan with a £5million fee and with an obligation to buy clause for £18million. Not sure how that works when he’s out of contract next summer though.

Is this loan with fee a tactical financial idea which allows us to spend more on other targets but also allows Real to shift his wages off their books?

Could be? I’m not an expert but presumably it pushes the main outlay into the next financial year?

He only has one year left on his contract so what will we be buying?

Only thing I could think of is that if we sign the player after the loan, we will be forced to pay Real Madrid as per terms of the loan. I doubt it’s just us cheesing Madrid here

Think the Express etc but they seem to be quoting talksport. I remember reading it somewhere last night and not on talksport though. We’ll find out soon enough what the craic is anyway.
