[Football] James Rodriguez to Everton

[Weststander]

Everton’s recent transfer spending is heading towards £600m, that’s in the same bracket as Chelsea and Liverpool, yet a million miles away from gathering trophies.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Everton always buy exciting players and our rarely works out for them. But with their new manager, this could finally be the time that it all clicks. Will be interesting to watch.

And yes, the premier league is getting stronger and stronger. Amazing to be part of it

Got his move to RM off the back of this, but has done little of any note ever since. Bayern could have played Phillip Schofield in their midfield instead of him and still romped to the Budesliga title, so I don't count that as any great achievement on his part.

TBF he's actually quite good. I saw him to keepy uppy on an advert and thought he could do a job

Surprisingly didn't seem to mind sitting down and getting his trousers wet either, in fairness.

 

[Napper]

He can be a handful, but I’m pretty sure I could pick a lot of others before him.
Consistency just isn’t a word you use a lot with him in the same sentence.

only just turned 23

 

[Meade's Ball]

No sell-on value for the ageing lot they are rebuilding an entire midfield around. Good players, but such a breed tend to either be on the decline or head to Goodison to disappear into it.

Amazing player.

At the World Cup six years ago.

This has all the feel of a a classic West Ham type signing.

My thoughts exactly. Everton and West Ham are absolute masters of signing household names from a few years ago, paying them a fortune, and not progressing at all.

I fully expect one of those two to sign Luis Suarez in 2 season's time.

 

[Solid at the back]

Had amazing potential all those years ago, he will show flashes of brilliance in games this season. But he won't be consistent, and I'll be shocked if he scores more then 5 goals.

amended for you.

 

[Bakero]

"Potential can be a curse. Show too much too early and it will define you, so you are measured not by what you have done but against the future that once seemed within your grasp. And when age finally takes its toll, when the world stops waiting for you to become what it seemed you once could be, when you are written off with a dismissive shrug as a could-have-been then, in England at least, there are really only two places you can go: West Ham or Everton."

Ain't that the truth.
