Rodriguez will be on mind boggling wages. £200k/week possibly more given the size of the drop in club stature. That’s >£10m/year forgetting bonuses, agent fees etc. Over the course of a 4 year contract that’s £65m + fees (Probably another £5-10m). With hardly any resale. If it means us building an organic, evolving team that can one day become self sufficient I don’t mind avoiding these deals. A potential Mesut Ozil situation for them, you’d have to say it’s 50/50 risk vs reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing him could potentially attract a better calibre of player for them in future windows though, he has a mega huge social following.

I swear every time I see TRO quoted on here it's someone bringing up Steve bloody Bruce completely off topic for no reason. Get over it mate. Steve Bruce lost the support of everyone by the end, some people got there sooner than others. It's been 2 **** years, move on On topic I'm amazed anyone would want James over Watkins. Watkins may never become the player that James was, but he's far more likely to get there in the next 10 years than James is to get back there. He's past it and will be earning unbelievable amounts of money. Honestly Real must be in a state of shock someone is actually going to pay for him, they'd give him away on a free to save on the wages Quite a bit of anger there Mrs TRO.

Not sure Everton are going to sign a better calibre of player because they’ve spunked all their cash on someone who was great in 2014/15, and is now more famous for his shagging exploits and severe underachievement.

If that was worth anything, Trezeguet would've attracted Messi to Villa by now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is irritating to me when people's arguments are so poorly thought out they need to harp back to points from years ago that literally nobody cares about anymore just to "win" as opposed to actually making a point on the subject in hand, but each to their own mate.

ciggiesnbeer Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If folks are interested the claret and blue pod lads (Birmingham mail / Kendrick) seemed very confident Watkins is coming here.

Tomaszk Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm old and can't work instagram. Has Watkins actually replied to that picture? That's a great sign if he has. Why would he get involved otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great sign if he has. Why would he get involved otherwise? Because he was tagged by the guy who posted the picture. He won't be getting too many notifications with "only" 22k followers, so he probably checked it out.
