So, James Rodriguez has gone to Qatar. It's all about the money; This makes interesting reading - now where can we make our next £million ? https://www.spotrac.com/epl/rankings/
Don't think James had much choice, at the end of the day. Benitez clearly fancied him less than a dose of genital warts and the window elsewhere in Europe was closed. The table highlighted to me that, comparatively, Man City get much better value from the players especially when you go down to the £6m-£5m mark. Also assume that Declan Rice has either appointed Charlie Kane as his agent or has negotiated a new deal in the meantime.
All the football forums and newspapers spout off about the Rodriguez situation but the fact is that nobody outside the inner circle knows the real truth. The truth is almost always hid from the fanbase because people get emotional and love to point fingers, metaphorically speaking. I wish Everton had people who did not spend recklessly over the years. I am just a lifelong fan and I don't own any shares in the club. Rice will move soon if those figures are correct. Man Utd have a very large player wages bill every month
If Declan Rice is only on 3k per week then im a dutchman, Wolves top earner is Joao Moutinho is allegedly on 100k per week, and we are nowhere near a top paying Club.
Oh yes. Maybe he would have done better if he had better players at EFC? Whatever the reasons, the results after Xmas were abysmal in his short time with the toffees.
Sadly I don't think the Everton fans got to see him play live at GP due to lockdown and then injury. I think he would of become a favourite.
You are right but sadly no-one got to see him. Benitez has stated: “When you have a player, the situation we have, that he can be available for 50% of the games overall in the Premier League, it's not something we can manage easily." “We have to maximise the resources that we have, and that is the situation.” Even then, his hands were probably tied; unable to say that he was just too expensive to keep at his age.
