2021/22 James Rodriguez

[BlueToff]

Can't stand him anymore. Sick of the pantomime. He'd leave us in a heartbeat and we don't need poohouses like that in the squad. He hasn't been that good for years anyway.

and we've sacked him off in a heartbeat

We've told him he can leave because we need his wages off the books.

He also directly contributed - just goals and assists - to 14 goals last season, so we'll need to replace those.

You don't need to lie to yourself. He's a very, very good player. He also has fitness issues which is why he was here in the first place.

If his hearts not in it, or the manager doesn’t want him then thank you but goodbye…….

The biggest problem at Everton for many years has been the attitude and commitment of players on a daily basis.

They've hid behind manager after manager.

Not my words. Seamus Colemans.

Everton's Attitude Problem - GrandOldTeam

Bare. Bear with me. I’m not a writer. I’ve wrote written about 5 opinion articles since setting up GrandOldTeam way back in 2007, with the last coming 17 months ago. I leave the words to Evertonians significantly more articulate and informed than myself so thank you for humouring me with a read...

I'm not lying to myself. If he was that good he wouldn't be here. People calling him world class are the ones lying to themselves. He's good, yeah course he is but he stands out in a mediocre side. Plus his attitude stinks, he's a brand not a professional footballer.

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

Yes he saw past Martinez.

Has nothing to do with Pep. Pep had Messi.

You may want to research your argument first...... Eto told Guardiola that it was him who made Barca win .... Not Messi. So who is right? You or Eto....

 

[ToffeeTim]

If he is going to be moved on then do it now. We need players in and can't be banking on everything falling into place at 10pm on deadline day

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

I'm sure one of the best passers of a football, a license to sell shirts and a genuine world class talent will have loads of clubs lining up to sign him.

If they aren't - why would that be???

Prophetic again, Godspeed Mooms wherever you are x

Confirmed Signing - James Rodriguez

We are not in a position to throw away cash are we though? I doubt Brands would waste it anyhow (usually) but this season we have had to be tight to make these signings. I still can't see how we are going to achieve a decent value out to help pay for this. We moan why have we got a load of crap...

like here... James stands out vs mediocre side.. you are not lying...

 

[paultheblue]

What ever happens over the next few weeks there is no doubt that James is a top class player and it is just a shame that as a team we are not good enough to accommodate him.
Our team at present with him playing is like a rat with a gold tooth and I for one would be sorry to see him go but accept that for greater good of the team it is inevitable .

Oh.

James Rodrigues admits he 'doesn't even know' who Everton play next

James Rodriguez has made a shock admission that he 'doesn't even know' who Everton are playing this weekend, with the Colombian's future at the club in doubt.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Started at 90k pw when he first signed.
Then 130 k then 140k then 200k and today 220k its really getting ramped up now.

Must have been a lie all along Bernard was our top earner @140k pw.

 

[MACCA75]

I’m not convinced he was likely to stay even if Carlo had, but we all knew he was off as soon as Carlo departed. Not as if any of this is a surprise.

Desperate mate.
