Could've been a lot worse! We could've wasted a fortune we haven't really got on Lingard or Diaz - the fact we haven't shows we are hopefully learning lessons from past. I'm also pleased we didn't get Don V B from MU. I'm also quite happy if James stays as he is class - I just hope Rafa gives him game time if he does stay.

James isn’t class because he can’t be arsed playing for us and 200k a week. He was class 5 years ago but the guy has one good pass in him every two games and doesn’t fit into counter attacking fast paced football.

200k a week?

It’s not because we are learning lessons. It’s because we are screwed by ffp.

Yes Jase he’s on 200k a week, that’s why we’ve needed to move him on to bring anyone else in.

Sure it could have been worse a meteor could have hit Goodison. We couldn't give James away, we got Rondon and CP got Edouard. Sure it could be worse but it is a long way from good.

I thought he was on £90k a week. Where has £200k come from?

Right OK BlueToff, I thought he was on a little under 100k a week.

I find it hard to believe that we pay that much.

That’s the whole reason the diaz transfer didn’t happen as porto weren’t willing to pay a portion of his wages, but yes it’s a lot closer to 200k than 100k. I loved him when he first joined but I soon got fed up of him being injured and moaning on twitch, fingers crossed he performs and moves on next summer.

Ah OK, I assumed Diaz was actually more reliant on Mbappe moving to Madrid and Richy going to PSG i. e. we needed to get the funds in to be able to afford to buy Diaz.

I, like you, hope he performs but I just can't see it. Rafa will ask too much of him.

Hes on 90k a week. Stop going to twitter for yoir info. And he's a good player but how does he get into this side anyway?

You really think he took a 175k pay cut to come to Everton last summer? You really think he would be happy thag mina earns 30k more than him! Head wobble time for some people.

Nope I just know my facts and if you read Joyce’s latest article it says James earns 200k.
“ James Rodríguez, who earns £200,000 a week, stays for now, which is another headache for Benítez, not least because it scuppered a swap deal involving the Porto winger Luis Diaz” so know you’re facts before you start next time.

{Ed025's Note - he is on £200,000 per week BT, we never paid a fee for him so the powers that be thought it was worth it...i dont..

Agreed completely, I’m with you Ed just some other posters seem to think he’s not on that much which shows the how naive our supporters are about the financial constraints we are under!

Goodison news and Geeg OKeiffe know as much as Bob from the local. All he said was "he's heard he's on North of 200k".

All of the reports when he signed were 90k with some conditions that would take it up like most contracts.

However, 90k or 200k, last season he was one of our most influencial players and earned his keep. He also started more games in single season for 7 years with us, so we got more than expected. Not really his fault CA left and Rafa doesn't like him.

Say your place wanted you to leave but you could only get a job that paid you half of what you're getting. Would you go? Of course not.

Fingers crossed he makes a contribution to the team and is as influential as last year. And when you consider he contributed to the same amount of goals as Ricky last year, it wasn't too bad.
