 Wel, gwrm na toffi TV, Hamers Rodríguez, looks like he's moving to heaven, so we thought we'd do an update because this is a story that has moved quite quickly. Joining by Steve Kelly for this one, Steve, this is a... This is a story that has moved quite quickly. Saying yesterday when we got Carlo and Tiriti that Joe can be said to Pedd a Christmas that will be Hamers Rodríguez coming as well, It was a joke. It all didn't take for a minute that sign that he'd probably end up here, but it looks like he is going to end up for Everton's show. When he first, when Angelotti first come, he was probably one of the first players linked to us straight away wasn't he as well, so now at the start of the transfer he did nothing really mentioned about him and now there's the odd link here and there, but there's talk of him going to Athletic Home Madrid I think and then. Angunited, Angunited. Angunited and then from basically nowhere he's on the verge of signing for Everton, so. I mean you're right this is a story that I think it was first mentioned in January the transfer window, but it was just a passing thing you know Everton had monitored in this situation because he wasn't playing at Real, there was a low movement to the end of the season, obviously not nothing there. It did go quiet, it resurfaced again in about May because obviously he hadn't cut ahead of post lockdown, he'd come on back way and then the league has started again and he played a couple of games or not many and then it started with, it picked up a bit of pace around early August and it once the season had finished, but then again it was, he was just in the mix with a lot of other people. There was talk of Madrid, Athletic Home Madrid on the, yeah. I mean I remember saying very early on in August they were saying it was practically done, he was going to Athletic Home Madrid and we were kind of sort of like, you know, we're after a different type of winger and then I guess a week ago it really started up that, you know, or 10 days ago that James Rodriguez it, you know, Antelotti wants him and from then it really, it really took off and obviously we've got to the end of the season. We're at the stage now where the deals agreed, we don't know to break down yet we've seen alone for a year with then two years, we saw yesterday three year deal sorted so it's somewhere between those two, all subject to medical of course which hasn't taken place at the time of recording this video. So it looks like it's gone or that, but I mean why do you think Carlo Antelotti has gone for James Rodriguez in your opinion? I think he's just looked at, since obviously after lockdown and you see, I think he's just looked at the team and the lack of creativity in the team and I think we've not got really anyone in the team who can unlock, unlock the team. He's probably looked at a Wabie, looked at Bernard and no offence to them two players, they didn't really give Antelotti much to go with when coming back. So he's probably looked at a player he trusts, he took them to Bayern Munich, Adam at Real Madrid, he knows the qualities of them and he's got something to prove now because he's basically been put on the sidelines for the last 12 months with Real Madrid. So this is I suppose, and I've read a few stories that he's wanted a traditional Premier League club, he's probably come to one of the most traditional if he joins and I just think he's going to be the big fish in the small pond at the moment unfortunately so I think it's a good move for him, he's 29 now so he should be at the peak of his career. Are you, have you got any concerns with the last couple of years he's not really played that much particularly the last 12 months he hasn't, he went back to Real, knows the damn, was talking about using them, he was glad to have them back and he's got this quality and that quality. You can say that he was 29 a few weeks ago so he's just 29. Do you look at that and think well he hasn't played that much over the last two years so really he's kind of got two years in his legs more than a normal 29 year old so to speak? Maybe because I know he played a lot of games early on and he's played a lot of a lot of football so maybe he's needed I suppose this rest for his body like I know I spoke to Andy a few times about Alan he's not really played as many games as a lot of 29 year olds probably have so we're potentially getting two players if there are going to be 27 hopefully yeah. But I think my only worry is obviously I know he had a couple of bad injuries but he was out for a period of time. I don't doubt the player's quality, he's a quality player haven't we all know that. Obviously I'd just be interested and see how he adapts to the Premier League but let's be honest it's not probably the Premier League 10, 15 years ago it's very different now. It's not the blood and thunder and tackles flying in because it's just not like that anymore so I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll bring to the team and as I said to you off here then I was like I think you might see training levels go up a lot because you've got a world class footballer which we haven't had many of them in the last couple of years so it might make the players around them better now hopefully. One other key thing and I guess this is weighed into the Alan stuff as well but how important do you think for Carlo Anciolotti to establish this culture because obviously he came in in December, nothing happened in January, he brought Jared Branthwaite in obviously he was a low profile sign went on to look very good and play the three games for us but this is Carlo Anciolotti's first real venture into the transfer market with Evan. He should have had six months to assess, he's had nine months to assess with Covid so it's important for him to establish that culture isn't it and the new way for players now he's given the current squad long enough to establish themselves some have done well out of it and others haven't responded, midfield has been not very good so just think this is key you've just mentioned the day training levels going up you'd like to think with Alan as well. There are two players who know the manager, know what's expected and have performed, do you think that can be a catalyst to the rest of the squad? This is the level that the manager's expected. Standards isn't it, just standards of what he knows what Anciolotti expects, like he's not going to walk in him, like if he walked in if it was Marco Silver or Ramon Cooman or anyone like that it's Carlo Anciolotti knows what he's got to do to impress the manager. He also may be saying to say to other players who aren't doing that saying this bloke won't have much of this or you'll be gone to them and it'll be the same with Alan I think Alan's just to me Alan is the most important but this one is the one who could maybe take us from 12th to 7th where that creativity or that match winning performance maybe where it could be a tight game you can just produce something like that. We probably haven't had that for a long time now really. Yeah I mean it's just very quickly that you see how big a player he is well wide I think he's the sixth biggest athlete in terms of following in the world and that's including LeBron James and stuff people like that who were on that list he's got an incredible following so obviously Elevates, Evans, Brand everywhere he's got Jerry Mainer at the club his Colombian team mate so there's a lot of things in place and if we can get a tune out of him. If we can get a tune out of him and if we can get the deal over the line it's looking good let's be honest it's all looking very positive great left foot on him incredible record assist wise I think he has just a goal just under every four games so therefore you can bring that and that's only because that's deteriorated because he hasn't played as many games of course but if you can get that quality into a team that let's be honest. Mifffield has been so poor last season nine goals across the whole Mifffield if he can add a few goals and create opportunities with that left foot of his then it'll certainly will improve the team. That's the most interesting part will be where he plays I think a lot of people like is Andy Oughty going to change the formation that's going to be the interesting part where he plays now. We will do it a deep dive on him as and when we get him out of the line but I think he's played just off the top of me and he's played the majority against off the right with that left foot so a lot of his goals seem to come from there as well. Be interesting it'll be interesting so there you go that's where we're up to lots of interest the step they're off daily grade and it's subject to a medical now when whenever that might be I guess the medical is imminent and it looks like James Rodriguez could be coming ever to play it very very soon and it certainly will be a massive coup for the club and a good sign for Carlo Antelotti getting another player his way within and someone who knows his methods and someone who the rest of the team. Can look up to because he is a well star with it. I think it's probably the biggest and machine he's writing as a sign. Yeah I think that's fair to say or keep going on we need this big name we need this big name I think this is probably the biggest one. We need them to deliver for me more so than his name is great and his name will carry. It's what he does on the pitch but he's got to produce so. There you go let's know what you think in the comments section below if you're confident that James Rodriguez will be coming ever and play it shortly. Are you happy with the signing? Do you think he's what we need or are you cautious about it given his age or don't you care about his age you just want to see quality players wearing the evidence.
