Rodriguez will be a great signing for Everton. Theyāve done some questionable business in recent seasons, but I think Carlo is starting to improve things there. Iād like to see a decent Everton side in the league. It wasnāt much fun watching them being so shit for a while there. I predict theyāll be in top 6 next season

Everton have focused too much on players on their way down from bigger clubs. Need to focus more on players on their way up, like Richarlison
Ballsy move suggesting that perennial 6th place finishers Everton will finish in the top 6.
They havenāt been in top 6 (5th) since 13/14 mate
They need to get back on their perch.
Iām kinda glad I didnt know that.
As Roy Keane said in his autobiography players who think theyāre doing you a favour by signing. Think he was talking about Chimbonda and Malbranque moving from Spurs to Sunderland.
Theyād have to oust one of the current big 6.
Still cant see it happening but it would be some coup to get him ahead of a financial giant like Man Utd.
I think he comes in twelve months on a free.
Iād say thatās why Liverpool are hesitant. They hope they could have him for free next year.
Heās out of contract in Jan
thiago could play at the highest level until he is 35. He hasnāt yet played 400 career club games, is 29, doesnāt depend on pace or an engine like other players. Heāll do wreck in the premier league as well and allow Firminho to move closer to goal. Liverpool will dominate with him. Heāll gel it all together. He is all they are really missing
If they could find VDD a solid partner and unearth a reliable back up forward I think theyād be a serious team ā¦ An angry city next year will take some stopping and Liverpool are an injury away from the wheels becoming a bit unstable.
Gomes was supposed to be the real deal I thought?
City are entirely dependent on Sergio Aguero and Laporte staying fit. Which is no guarantee. Both have injury troubles. If those two are out they canāt score at one end and canāt keep them out at the other.
Joe had a so so year ā Teams targeted him a lot and there were lots of mistakes made I felt. This year will be telling for him ā¦ I suppose if Thiago lands youāll have a bit more cover in front - heās a very clever player and reads the game wellā¦ I presume Him and Fab will be slotting in and out of becoming a third defender when the team is attackingā¦ maybe more so Fabā¦ The team are still heavily reliant on the top 3 for goals thoā¦ need more from midfield
Malbranque was class for Sunderland, loved by the fans.
Chimbonda was shit. Keane signed a lot of shit though- Andy Cole, Ian Harte, Diouf, Anton Ferdinand, Paul McShane. But Malbranque was one of the good ones.

Footix alert
Gomes is injury prone. As is Matip.
