Young maybe Ball noWhat a man lol
I go back to the mid 70s and I've not seen as good a pure footballer here. Not somebody with his vision and ability.
How about you older guys? How does Alan Ball and Alex Young compare to our new maestro?
There again Ball was a different type of player
I remember as a kid the silence that would envelope Goodson for 2 or 3 seconds when Young got the ball
In 50 odd years watching Everton I can honestly say I have never seen a more naturally talented footballer than James
Even Rooney was not at this level
If he stays 4 or 5 years with Carlo I can honestly see him been mentioned in the same sentence as Dixie
As someone else said he will get the love he always craved here, he will be supported through thick and thin
Players like James are artists and need to feel loved needed and wanted to get the best out of them
Whatever we give him he will give back in spades
I just hope we keep the faith if he has 3 or 4 bad games in a row
In Carlo he has a manager who loves and trusts him and James trusts Carlo as well
Carlo will get the best out of James ,and not as a conventional middle of the park 10 but as a 10 who plays where he sees the space and the opportunities
You do not put a saddle or blinkers on a thoroughbred stallion ,you give him free rein
We have as a fanbase craved for a player like this for years .
A player who re opens and reinvents the School Of Science
If he stays the 5 years here people will forget he played for Real Madrid , or Bayern Munich ,it will always be James Rodriguez of Everton and Colombia fame.
It is players like James that will win you the big special games,
If Mosh and Usmanov support Carlo to the hilt I see no reason the league is not ours within 3 years
We have 5-6 top 4 players ATM 3 or 4 more and we can do it all
