2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Gilbert..]

Currently getting beat 4-2 at home and 3rd from bottom in the league.
Be funny if laurent blanc is sacked just as rodriguez unpacks his toothbrush.

The run made the pass

But if the pass doesn't come he is just running to nowhere.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

The run made the pass

a work of art though, especially at the "deep end"

 

[Papa Shango]

This make a difference for the jan window now

It has to. Even if it does we know we will be waiting until deadline day to get this right back we have needed for years (on loan)

 

[windymiller]

yes we do. Townsend, 3 goals and 4 assists so far and we're not out of September yet.

Oh dear

 

[windymiller]

Rondon is NOT James replacement.....please stop saying that.

Some of you also used that when Lukaku left and dross was brought in..so and so replaced Lukaku.

We haven't got a replcaement for James. No one in the squad can bring what he does to the side.

Jesus

Tbf if rodriguez had those stats this early on people would be jizzing all over them.

 

[PaddyJames]

We haven't replaced Franny Jeffers

He's had a good start, I've nothing against the lad, but if we replace our better players with 30 something journeymen and people are stating that they are like for like replacements then there is only one direction we are headed.

Following Kev's logic, Kean was replaced by Rondon. It's a worrying pattern. The average age of our signings this year was over 30, some way over.

 

[Everton_Gary]

The comparison is that Carlo wanted James in the team, Benitez wanted Rondon.

Apples and Oranges. Poor argument really.

I doubt Rondon was his top choice, Carlo had money, Benitez did not. It is what it is, move on

In theory yes. But we've had some decent "journeymen" in the past.
I'll tend to go with what im seeing rather than just label them a journeyman.

We haven't replaced Franny Jeffers

And he was involved in the coaching of our kids, yet still some supporters wonder why all our kids are crap and even do a runner to a club like Southampton.

We interviewed plenty of other managers and made the wrong choice. A choice that has split the fanbase and forced out our best player.

The time to pick someone else was in the summer when there were other options available such as Nuno or even Potter.

It is a matter of waiting until he gets the sack. That's all.

The Spurs fans are absolutely seething at Nuno mate.

A case of be careful what you wish for the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

The less said about Potterball the better - he'll not last 2 minutes with our fanbase - we are already on the managers back 5 games in despite being sat in 6th.

Fair enough. I hope he scores 10 and assists 10 this year and next, I just wouldn't bet on it. That would be career high stats for the lad. In his thirties.

Did Potter stand you up at your school disco or something? You're utterly obsessed.
