My illusion is that your big Big Balls Blue Ben has a good strategy to beat United tomorrow so he can actually be the one to prove he becoming a staunch blue instead of a red,.

See, now I've read the same quotes as you and took different things from them. Bear in mind that James did not finish the season and missed the Copa America due to injury, it's only natural that he would not be at an optimal level, as it would be for anyone. Benitez is assessing the squad and giving an honest assessment of the players he has available, as he sees it. This will obviously be backed up by metrics.

But he did also highlight how good he was and the qualities he brings. You have chosen to ignore that side of his assessment.

As for your Chronology

He didn't, he said he was happy to stay, those are different things.

This is coming from James side, so it's hardly impartial.

He questioned his levels, is this not allowed? As for benching him, he switched a number of players who started: Holgate, James, Allan and Doucoure.
Everyone played 2 halfs, some started some came on, it's not a witch hunt.

Again, James doing the talking. And he has yet to say he wants to stay, he has been very careful with his words.

This is the main point. James doesn't know. Which means it's not decided 1 way or the other. It is entirely possible that we do want to sell him, and if we do, it will be entirely financial. We agree, he is a fantastic player and most people would want him to stay, but as I said the other day, he is 1 of only a handful of players that we could actually make an accounting profit on, and he walks away for free in June.


I find it hard to believe that we can just sign it without him agreeing to it, but let's say that is true. We may legitimately be looking for a buyer if we are in as a big a financial mess as is being reported. This may be why things are up in the Air and why James says its complicated.

I still think if we don't find a buyer, we will sign the extension, because its the only thing that makes sense to us financially.

My chronology is definitely colored by James' account because he's the one who is talking directly and through his camp.

However, the leak in Spain by Aguirre was specific in reporting that James was happy and wanted to stay at Everton, but saw no choice but to leave given Rafael's threat that he wasn't wanted there.
 

Talksport is the Delph of the sports radio world.

fingers crossed James stays, imagine having a player that good and never getting to watch him in person!
