He has come here specifically to play for ancellotti - a player of his calibre does not sign for Everton in our current team status. In fact not many players would want to play for us. If he has a great season, I see him signing. Why go elsewhere? That’s how I feel, as long as he can stay injury free everything else is set up for him to have a successful time here. A manager who he respects and plays to his strengths, a guaranteed starting place, and once you’ve been touched by people’s club you find it hard to leave.

RuffRob Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Although he will get a decent enough basic salary, salaries can also be topped up with bonses for appearances, goals, assists, getting in to europe etc. I am sure these sorts of things can more easily be negotiated in to the package for a player who seems to really want to come here. My gut feeling is that Rodrigeze whats to come to Everton for footballing reasons and not becasue we are simply waving a exessive salary in front of him. This is key to my enthusiasum for him coming. I think he will come with a hunger in his football. So i am very excited by the prospect of him wearing a blue shirt. I think players around him will also be motivated by the addition of such a player. Romey 1878, StevO and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said elsewhere, having players of his technical capability on the training field will put a lens on how technically shite many of our players are in terms of passing and retaining the ball. The culture of our play starts on the training pitch. By all accounts he's quite an intense footballer, he will hopefully enhance all areas.

Shocking at times, it's as though most of them think a one touch pass that goes nowhere gets a 10/10 for effort, so they do that rather than take a touch. I've been reading some fans saying "better players will get the best from gylfi and Gomes"...... my thoughts are sod them, at a time when they were our best technical players - they hid, allowed Tom Davies to try things and evidently carry the can for stray passes etc. It's about attitude as much as aptitude. We've had far too many cowards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 11 hours ago, Bailey said: The one pinch of salt with this is how he then translates those stats in playing for Everton. Its all well and good creating and scoring bucket loads in a team full of stars but its a different kettle of fish when you have Gomes or Davies misplacing a 10 yard pass in your general direction Completely agree. Im not expecting those numbers here but not many in world football have a return like that. Really excited but trying not to expect too much.

Popular Post barryj Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think it would be massively beneficial to have two players that have played for Carlo, obviously really admire and believe in him and have played regularly at the highest level. This surely has to rub off on the rest of the squad and if this can’t motivate and drive them to improve nothing will. Still can’t get fully excited until it done though.

chicagoblue Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not really sure how we can afford this level of wages. Can only mean we have some rapidly developing plans to offload a few of the current high earners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papertalk - I don't think we will have to part with that much for him. We are in quite a strong position, think the plaher now has his heart set on playing under ancelloti again. bit like Spurs where with hojberg.

Exactly, i dont think Madrid are silly enough to keep him for another season on his wages plus lose him for nothing next season. Under 10 is a steal. He will bring a massive commercial that will help with what ever we pay him. I think we put Bernard on 120,000 a week, id expect James to be on at least that.

He will definitely become our highest paid player and if Siggy/Bernard are on £120-150k per week he will better them.

It is rare however you see a player wanting to take so much of a wage cut. He must really want to get his career back on track and/or play under Carlo again.

badaids Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I’m still traumatised by the whole ‘Muller is flying to Goodison in a helicopter to finalise his contract’ in 1994. So I will never believe that we have signed a high profile player again. The only proof I will accept that we have signed them is that we have transfer listed them.
