2021/22 James Rodriguez

I doubt the club are subsidising his wages, he won’t be taxed over there.

Soo how much is it costing us to get him off the wage bill ?

I actually don't think this is all on Benitez here.

I think Benitez would have preferred to have him available until January once the August window passed but the club are knackered financially and he knows this.

His tone seemed to change last night on it. We'll see what he says on Friday but from what RB has said on the situation in his last few pressers, he has always referenced the 'special circumstances' at the club in relation to FFP.

It's all on Benitez. James getting off, Davies missing a penalty, Collina, 9/11, The Black Death you name it the rat

Do you mean the injury this weekend that was lied about as he was on his way to Doha?

James trained on his own at Finch Farm on Saturday so I doubt he was ever injured. On Sunday he flew to the middle east.

He’s gone
Let it go
For gods sake he doesn’t give a shiny [Poor language removed] about me, you or Everton, good riddance to the pleb

It’s all been handled in typically bad Everton fashion.
Clubs been an absolute mess for years.

Not enough, we’ve got rid of the fraud, now close this topic

similar to the Rooney situation a couple of seasons ago. The club offered massive wages, realized they weren't getting what they deemed their money's worth and got rid.
Rooney has said since he wanted to stay whereas i think James is more than happy to leave assuming he isn't out of pocket (reportedly not being willing to lower his demands to stay in competitive leagues would suggest) but still, i think it's the club driving not Bentiez driving this and they've handled in all in typical Everton fashion

Club has been a mess for as long as I remember and I’m 40. Farewell James, we hardly knew ye.

It is Benitez driving it 100%.

Okay Rafael

 

[Tin-Tin]

Probably be surrounded by more quality at Al-Rayyan

 

[UptheTofees]

I’m just so hyped about the players we will sign now that we have his 750k a week wages off our books

 

[Carloblues]

Can Benitez rely on a player who faked an injury to avoid being in the squad?

God knows but he's relying on rondon upfront to cover DCL when his legs are made from steel.

He's relying on some bald gorm in goal to cover for Pickford.

He's relying on jonjoe Kenny to potentially cover for Coleman

How do you know this? You seem very sure.....

It's not as if a player of his quality would have been able to break down the might that is QPR is it.

All on the kopite in charge, Agent Benitez is slowly but surely ruining us.

Swapping James Rodriguez for Salomon Rondon, excellent popcorning.
