We don't deserve James. If you think you can know what's going on behind the scenes, and if Benitez leaves him out just cos he doesn't like him, we fully deserve Arsenal, Newcastle and any other Championship rejects in our squad, and we should be happy with Premier League survival every year.
Can't believe Ancelotti + James + a good crop of young players was the start of a downward spiral. Love the club, but feel thoroughly depressed that we cannot hang on to James. Lurching from Chelsea-style transfers to Newcastle to some sort of Allardyce hybrid. Wish we just had something to hold on to.
