    Think this is what happens when you don’t go shooting your load early doors and have players desperate to work with the Don.

    Could be brilliant, could be a car crash. But it’s a step up for where Everton are shopping.

    This Rodriguez signing will either go one way the other.. A huge success or a complete disaster . Im not sure which..

    If I was an Everton fan I'd be buzzing though he's got class it's just whether he can rediscover the player he was on the past... Is he fast enough for this league?

    I look back at players like Sherringham, LeTissier and Bergkamp. Don’t have to be quick to be brilliant

    Even more recently David Silva was hardly pacey.

    I think if we’ve learned anything from Liverpool’s title winning year is that you don’t have to have world class players to win the league, just a good squad bond and plenty of fight (and VAR in their case).

    Not sure what Ancelotti has in mind for that squad, seems a bit off a complete squad but the lad has undoubtedly got talent.

    He does look likely to be the big one, will he shine brighter than Pulsic..be a great show to see who performs best between them two. Plus if one is having a bad day, the other will rip you a fresh one!

    True.. Look there's no doubt he's got ability, but at 29 are his best days begind him and can he adapt to the league? I don't know, but if he does it'll be good for the league

    Sorry, I didn’t add him as it’s a given he was amazing.

    29, peak of his powers pal.

    Will he adapt in a team put together to add lots of running and energy in midfield?

    I hear he is that good he can nutmeg a mermaid.

    He’s only just turned 29, he’ll still only be 31 when his 3 year deal expires.

    His chance creation rate is around 3 per game, Richarlison must be cart wheeling, as we’ve had little creativity in midfield in his time with us.

    The only question mark over him for me, is whether he stays fit or not, his quality is top drawer, and he’s never had real pace btw.

    just £2m more than Wilson. A player in his best years with low digit goal returns.

    I’m surprised you’re not being investigated by SOCA for that one bro.
