Can you hear that?
That’s the sound of thousands of FPL players putting him in their fantasy team based off of that video
Not for me
well that shut me up
My mind does this automatically whenever some says “not for me”
I think he’ll be on the bench but if he comes on and scores the winner against spurs he’s going straight in my Fantasy team.
I love a not for me, Clive!
That was the most geriatric overhead kick I’ve ever seen
I was genuinely enraged I watched 50 seconds of shit Everton training to see that sideways flop shit.
Who got the better deal? Everton getting Rodriguez on a free, or us getting Willian? I’m inclined to believe Rodriguez is better, being 3 yrs younger and being more talented.
They’d paid £20mil for James mate hahaha
I read the other day that £20m was actually £12m. Probably £20 when you add on sign ons and such. I’m on the fence about James.
I kind of feel it’s similar to the Ozil deal. It will make Everton feel like they’re a big club, bring a lot of hype and probably even be a success early on. Ultimately it will financially ruin them. OZIL!
Yeah, I was mistaken. Here’s a more trustworthy source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53992937
that cites both 12m and 20m.
Still, later sources still claim it was a free transfer after all: https://www.transfermarkt.com/james-joins-everton-on-free-transfer-no-fee-for-real-madrid/view/news/370044
Update, September 9, 11:01 BST: Contrary to previous media reports, the midfielder is joining Everton on a free transfer. According to information acquired by Transfermarkt, Real only secured themselves a sell-on clause, which would earn them a percentage of the Colombian’s next transfer fee. The percentage is understood to be in the lower and conventional range.
Ones a midfielder and the other a winger. Can we really make an 1-on-1 comparison like that?
They are both offensive players playing in similar positions. I was just remarking how Everton seemed to have gotten a better deal than us in this case, if it really was on a free. But time will tell of course, injuries, results …
Wasn’t aware Rodriguez had become a winger. I’m sure Everton is paying a hefty salary. Even if that isn’t actually on the books. Somebody like Rodriguez doesn’t go there other than for the money.
Took a pay cut according to the Guardian. Working with Ancelotti again and playing in the EPL must have been a big draw
