He's only got one year left on his contractI was referring specifically to Everton though. I always thought James Rodriguez was a busted flush. Guys like him and Coutinho will always have flashes but then lose interest at that kind of level. They've spent massive money on guys like Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Iwobi, Keane, Doucoure, Delph, Moise Kean, Gbamin, Mina, Klaassen, Tosun. All over 20 million I think. I'd say Richarlison is the single big one they got right. Moise Kean was the only one I wanted us to get at the time. They signed Klaassen, Rooney and Siggy in the same window and people claimed they had an amazing window...they all play in the same position! They're a shit show of a club with worse leadership than Man Utd. Our track record is quite poor but way better than theirs.
But yeah, Bissouma would have been good but I'm suspicious as to why the fee is apparently so much lower than they demanded for Ben White...
