Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[Wat Tyler]

Basically says he has signed, the club are hyping it up.

Honestly though, the club don’t help the situation by waiting days to announce things after they’re done to try and maximise social media exposure. Just added fuel for these little attention seeking weird dweebs.

Qué?

Good news for Banfield! They'll get 420k € for the sale of Rodriguez for 21m plus bonuses

My Spanglish is coming along nicely

We’ve gone from the tiled floor in the Titanic to the temperature in Munich in January

Maybe we're waiting for hummel to send a load of Everton kits to Colombian shops

All about the Crescendo

Make out Everton is a last chance saloon for has beens or cast offs from bigger clubs .
They all take each others players.

Everton or West Ham the only clubs James could get.
Omitting his record which is outstanding and no worse injury wise than most top players.
He asked Bayern not to take up the option to buy him , not the other way round.

The whole piece is like botched put- together nonsense.

Yeah, I mean, the players he listed though were all cast offs from bigger clubs.

That's not to say they're not good players. Digne is a cast off to an extent and is probably our most consistent perfomer. We all know how good Gomes can be on his day, though the issues he had at Barca did come to the fore last season a bit it seemed (when all the pressure was on him to run our midfield, it has to be said in his defence).

Richarlison is probably the only player that we've bought that fits the model of going for younger players from 'lesser' clubs that we supposedly should strive to.

It's just an opinion piece. Jonathan Wilson writes in a very smug manner. He's got an angle and gone for it. Some of what he says I agree with, the rest I don't. Doesn't mean I don't want James to sign but I'm not gonna get wound up about it mate. Just is what it is.

Surely Madrid could just announce the sale themselves? If they’re aware everything is sorted from our end?

"But, the Toffees are saving the official announcement for a big finale."

Would make sense. As much as the fanbase are losing it over lack of info, that's just building the hype up further.
Cruel in a way, but smart from a marketing perspective.

Heard the deals off. Greta heard about him taking multiple planes & taxis every day and ordered him to stay at RM for the planet’s sake.

Its only been like a week. And its been quite a lot of fun tbh.

Gentleman's agreement to wait on Everton's announcement maybe? No reason for them to rush their announcement that he's been sold. Wouldn't benefit them in the slightest.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Saving for anticipation doesn’t make any sense. The anticipation has been there for days now

Isn’t that the point?
