Well apparently he doesn't want to join us,,,its all very depressing perhaps the way pre season friendlies are going that Gus is going to play the youngsters at West Brom lol . don't know why players just don't want to come here!. we seem to be linked with loads of players lots of near signings then nothing!

I thought I wold look into abcsafc's post regarding Rodríguez signing.
I went onto a Spanish newspaper and found this:

http://www.thelocal. es/20140722/real-madrid-sign-world-cup-star-james-rodriguez

This was the only article I could find with the name Rodríguez. Wrong Rodríguez!
So what reports absafc?
This transfer window is turning into yet another drawn out saga which will result in one or more panic buys like Graham! Hello relegation battle again!
Why is it this happens every year?

What?
The Rodrigues rumours started in Spain and Poyet has said its true, it's money problems, but I can't think he'd be on that high wages (Atletico have low wages and he isn't even a first team regular) are the board being cheap?

They signed him on a free however, which makes a big difference with the players contract. See recent Swansea free transfer of Gomis as example of this. or Sol Campbell on six figures a week when at Arsenal. Free transfers change wages.
