Despite this, in the English press there has been talk of the number ’10’ of the Colombian National Team and in that order of ideas, in the media there have been analyzes of the pros and cons of his hiring in the ‘Toffees’ club.

In the newspaper ‘The Guardian, for example, an opinion column signed by Jonathan Wilson was published in the last hours, who sees the hiring of James Rodríguez as a good “bet” and gave him “welcome”, but at the same time questions Everton’s spending in times of the coronavirus pandemic and invited managers to look at 22-year-old footballers from emerging leagues in Europe and who are future investments.

“Of the Everton signings, it is James who stands out. He was a player of great promise, he was a scorer at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he scored a great volley against Uruguay. Six years ago he seemed the most exciting prospect of his generation, but he has been remaining and today is a bet “, it was read in an aside of the column.

Wilson added that “only the most daring adults, one who has long forgotten how to fly, could not be inspired by the prospect of Ancelotti rekindling James’ talent to play a glorious fall in his career at Goodison. He is a bold signing. “.

In another of the excerpts from the writing, the author again filled the Colombian with flowers, but left questions about the high amount of money involved in hiring. “James may triumph gloriously or he may fail, but at least it will have been worth watching. Certainly, with Allan and Doucouré, this looks like a much more dynamic Everton midfield than the one Ancelotti presented last season. All of which would be promising if it wasn’t for that salary expense, “he concluded.
