2020/21 James Rodriguez

The funny thing is mate (and I don't doubt he would have made a tad difference) we only had 26% possession against Man City, it would have been one of those games where he would have ended up dropping deep all the time to get on the ball and he would have become frustrated because there would have been zero movement in front of him when he did have the ball.
James on his own gets us more possession when he plays.
 
We need him to be able to start 6 or 7 of the remaining 10.

And we need to go back to the 433 with him on the right.

It's going to be interesting/exciting to see what James at 100% ends up looking like.

I'd be disappointed if he didn't manage 7 starts from those 10 though.
 

James is injured over half the time - I don't think he is any use moving forward

Sure he looks great, sexy as heck and 2 billion followers on social media but I want someone who can actually play and contribute
 

Best player... if only fit 75% of games it’s better than not having him at all? Please don’t say you agree
Don't agree with the "let's move him on" shout but if your gameplan revolves around a player who is available only about 50-60% of the matches then you need to change your gameplan. When fit, perfect, best player in the pitch bonus! But we need a way to play without him... Hell, are need a way to play without all of our players because whenever we are missing just one player and play terribly the excuse is "player X is injured! You can't expect us to perform without HIM!"

But James is magic... Just not available all the time and we need to have a plan on place that doesn't revolve around James being healthy.
 
It would be great if he was fit for 75% of games but he isn’t, is he?
Yes, of course it would be great, but sadly he hasn't been fit, like a number of other players for all teams in this bonkers season. How dare he miss a few games after VVD nearly castrated him?!

Unlike you, I'll take the magic and special moments that we have had from the world class player that James is any day, also in the hope that we can get more games out of him before the end of the season and into next.

Do you seriously think we would have got some of the results we have if James wasn't here, especially at Mordor?

You deserve slugs like sigurdsson and sniderlin playing nearly every game for us and polluting our midfield, if you seriously think we should be looking to sell/offload James.
 
I still stand by this:
