Wouldn’t have seen that from James

He did play for us quite a few times and there’s a couple of pictures on here of him wearing an Everton shirt

Exactly even Ancelotti said on a TV interview I can’t ask him to help with the defending because he won’t do it.

Just been reading up on loans which says exactly as I believed loan fees are practically none existent with most clubs who loan players very rarely paying the whole of the players wages

Then why would a club pay a fee to us when they can’t even pay all the players wages, that doesn’t make sense and we have had plenty of players out on loan in the last 2 seasons where we have contributed as much as 50% of there wages still because they couldn’t afford them yet they gave us a few million in a loan fees

The 1st was a great finish

They won’t be paying us any loan fee, the same as PSG didn’t, but I will stand corrected if you can show me what they both paid.

What money do we get for loaning him out.

Agreed we have been averaging about 40% possession but have looked the better team even with less possession, to win game like that you need players who will work off the ball which is something he cannot do, he has been struggling for years because of that attitude it’s becoming more of a game for athletes and hard workers in all the major leagues, as Asprillia said his fellow countryman it’s time to stop showing off talking and to start playing football.

He had a great first 5 games even I was raving over him then the I want to prove myself bubble burst and he got worse and worse and worse, then we got to see the Rodriguez other teams before us had experienced, the can’t be arsed player constantly losing possession and not trying to make up for it, strolling around not interested or giving up and asking to be taken off, getting preferential treatment from other players yet not earning it, let’s go for the stats if you want we scored more points without him in the team than we did with him in, that’s because we never had a player on the pitch letting players waltz past them, without him we had 11 players working as a team like we do now, do we miss him now do we fuck.

Can you explain? Sounds like you’re saying he’s that good he can choose when and who he chooses to play for.

At this moment in time I’m in the motor home with very limited signal I will show you more when I get back, surely it’s all speculation if it hasn’t come from the club or the player, then it’s down to what speculation you choose to have more belief in, I for one don’t believe he came to us with his agent knowing he was on a free and accepting a 3rd of his wages, I believe his package is closer to the 220k which may have been made up of a fee for him signing added to his wages I don’t know, but what I would be quite confident about is that him and his agent aren’t going to lose between 190 and 140k a week.

I will try and find one but will have to email it to you, I hope your right and then again hope your wrong, for the the reason where we supposedly have a world class play on 50% less than most world class players and he is still here with no takers, that would be worse than I originally thought.

It’s been on articles that have been posted on here, also I have seen it on articles posted on One football from various sources. The bottom line is he doesn’t want to play for us been trying to secure a move since Ancelotti left, more so I expect since Benitez joined and it’s not happening there not queuing up and knocking the door down, why do you think that is I have my opinion’s it would be nice to know what others think on why if he’s so good he’s still here.

I’d say his ability is questionable he hasn’t been a main stay in any team since around 2014 accept for Colombia, but that’s caught up with him now. He’s what’s known as a has been Madrid must have been rubbing there hands together when we came along and saved them hundreds of thousands a week in wages, and people said what a great deal Brands did getting him for free, really then get rid of him on a free and get a couple of players in who want to play for the club instead of an over paid cunt who just wants to lie and stir the shit on social media, if anyone has an inclining of sympathy for him they need to book themselves into psychotherapy treatment

His best touch yesterday was knocking the ball out of the idiot Richarlison’s arm.

Has he fuck he’s been an average player since 2014 who thinks he’s world class, we pay 220k a week for someone who does all his talking on social media and not on the pitch.

And that’s why Brands isn’t all that he’s been cracked up to be, he gets all the praise when things go right though I’m struggling to think what they are, and a get out jail free card when they go wrong to many to mention.

Not trying to say I told you so but I’ve advocated him for years, but if a section of supporters had got there way we wouldn’t have him now because he managed the shite and called us small, not saying there’s anything wrong with having passion for your club but sometimes you can’t let your heart rule your head.

I agree with you Sparty he is always going to be limited at what he can do when it comes to scoring, but he’s one of the best at what he does and as Matt says the team should be playing to his strengths the end result will be goals. Obviously there will be games where he’s not getting the supply to work with and will look obsolete and and none productive, when this happens it’s up to Benitez to find a different route to goal that’s his job and Dom may find that he is substituted early in some games that aren't playing to his strengths, and personally I think with Rafa who is a great tactician we will see this, where as other managers have just run him aimlessly into the ground down blind alleyways and we’ve moaned how poor he was, when in fact he hasn’t been played to his strengths.

Mate to be honest I’m not sure but we won today and that’s all that matters.

Yes sir delirious.

I’ve never known us have so many good chances or attempts on goal as we have seen in our last 3 league games in 5 years, and they said Rafa would be defensive and boring, from what I’ve witnessed that couldn’t be further from the truth.

On my reckoning we’ve lost just over £10 million and on top of that what ever we’ve paid him in wages, we don’t eek a small profit we lose 40+%
