My point is that he has not been fully fit & he can not sustain that kind of form due to his lack of fitness & old injuries etc etc etc...

He can produce some magical moments but unfortunately he will struggle to make many games for us due to his legs carrying old injuries which will affect his performance & game time on the pitch...

Yeah?

You act like you are the only person that knows this mate.

As I said when we were first linked, if we get to see him for 5 games a season, its worth it.

Hes already paid his wages with the increase in exposure hes given the club and when hes on the pitch hes the best player on it.

hope for more than 5 games but you can see he has been struggling but some have chosen not to notice when he clearly was not performing...

Must be used lightly & conveniently & not just used because it's James, the team have performed very well without him, let's hope he can produce further magic for us but let's have a fitter James plz....

He was struggling initially after that grock Van Dijk assaulted him. He still almost won us the derby on one leg putting a few on a plate for DCL and Richarlison. It was obvious he wasn’t fit for SouthamptonNewcastle and United and shouldn’t have been used. After that he was getting back to his best against Fulham (where he basically won us the game in a ten minute spell), Leeds and Burnley. Then he got injured again.

Some people act as though he’s been ineffectual in loads of games. That’s not the case at all. Even half fit he’s been instrumental for us in scoring goals.

I think if we hadn’t have started winning again we might have seen him back sooner but when you’ve won 4 on the spin you can afford to let him fully recuperate.

Yeah, the issue like you say is we had to play him half-fit.

At least with our recent run, the team have showed that if things are simplified, we can deal without him.

It's not sustainable all season, but does mean we don't have to rush him back.

But don’t you want to see him on the pitch all the time, that’s what he’s paid for. We haven’t even been told what is wrong with him. Are you really happy for him to play 5 games a season. I’m not arsed about exposure it’s a load of tosh. Football is a game that you try to win which usually implies having your best players playing it.

I dont need telling every 5minutes when hes fit or when hes not.

Winds me up peoples constant need to be told whats happening.

And it goes without saying I want him playing every minute for us, but without his injuries he isn't an Everton player, so sadly, we need to accept that the reason he plays for us is cos hes slightly injury prone.

It winds me up when players being paid a kings ransom cry off injured all the time. The reason he’s playing for Everton is our manager and if he can only manage a few games a season because of injury it’s a bad signing in my opinion.

He was probably the best player in the league for the opening 6-8 weeks of the season. If we can get him to play 20-25 games it's a big positive.
