Rodriguez could end up being the best signing of the xfer window. What was the cost to Everton? 20mil in total?
Would not call him fully ammortized. 29 years old versatile international that you paid a huge fee for and let him go for free with 1 year on the contract. The way I see it no team were going to pay money for him and afford to pay him wages that he accepts (a common problem these days) so you let him go for free as that would cost you less in terms of money and is also better for morale. Same as Sanchez. Two rubbish pieces of busienss.Was signed 6 years ago, fully ammortized by now. Hence no sunk cost letting him go for free
$0 transfer fee. 140k/week. There are signing fee and agent fee for sure.Rodriguez could end up being the best signing of the xfer window. What was the cost to Everton? 20mil in total?

This is class.
Like Moyes and Fellaini.Power of manager, attracting players.
No way he's joining Everton if Ancelotti isn't there.. unless Everton offer ridiculous huge sum of money which can be tempting.
Not just his age. If a player isn’t the star at a Real or Barca, we shouldn’t be buying them. Once a player goes to either club, it’s like they lose the right to want to move on and get their careers going again. They can’t be trusted and are terrible signings if they are to be paid more than £100k a week.We probably should have tried to sign him.
I know people are against signing older players because Sanchez failed (weird logic), but a lot of older players succeed when they move clubs.
It is a stupid idea to rule out the signing of older players just because one failed. Should we rule out younger players because Forlan failed 20 years ago? No. It is a ridiculous idea.
I think Rodriguez would have been a quality player to have in our team for such a small amount, comparatively. A signing that could have desperately been needed based on yesterday's game.
The problem is that as soon as we registered any interest in the player, the price would automatically be £40-50mFor 20m, James would have been perfect to come in for us, with the likes of Lingard, Pereira and Mata being binned. For free, it’s even more of a no-brainer. He’s pure class, and always has been.
I think they thought they would get money for his Everton move from the fee (if there was one, it was reported before that he moved for x millions). He was there as a teenager and they thought they would get some solidarity payment, due to being an important part of his development in his early career. But since he moved on a free, no money for them.Class.
Wait.. "...after they confirmed that they did not get any % of a fee after the Colombian’s move to Everton on a free transfer "
What?
Well, we don’t know that. And if the price became £40-£50m, we wouldn’t pay it, and then Everton would not be able to come along and get the player for free/£20m after Real just quoted their neighbour £50m, and Real would be stuck with him.The problem is that as soon as we registered any interest in the player, the price would automatically be £40-50m
It is a free transfer. it has been said many times already. It is an absolutely steal for Everton to get a player this class for free. He is a perfect #10 for Ancelotti.Class.

HmmMummy, mummy, diamonds, I want them too
Sadly, we're just as awful integrating playersFailing at Barcelona and Madrid should not scare us of certain players
They have such rigid tactical systems and decisions they make that it effects certain players ability to settle in there.
We're even worse as we don't even have ANY structures.Sadly, we're just as awful integrating players
At the top of the league? Agreed.He's thriving because Ancelotti is building the whole team around him. He's at his level.
Can't disagree with that!At the top of the league? Agreed.
how do these things work? Im intrigued?I will come here every week and laugh at everyone who said he will flop. Just shows that the so called cafe experts has no clue on how these things work.
Sanchez's output numbers had just dropped over the last few months at Arsenal, a pretty clear sign his legs had gone, which is crucial for a dribbler. James just didn't fit in, or was injured.We probably should have tried to sign him.

Not that he hasn’t proven he can excel at a higher level for the last 8 years or anything!He's thriving because Ancelotti is building the whole team around him. He's at his level.
