I find it ironic lads moaning about James saying “oh he’s no where near as good as X player was 40 odd years ago”. Exactly, we haven’t had a player like him in so long that you have to go back that far to see someone of his genuine quality.
Funny how it went from he’s just faking injury so he can play international games to oh he’s actually injured well that’s because he’s so injury prone why’d we even get him. I swear some people just wind me up.
In terms of our squad he and Mina are the same for me. Both far and away the best players we have in their positions but aren’t fit every week so people slate them. We literally got one of the worlds best players on the ball, for free, at Everton, in a poor spell of success. If he was able to be fit every week he’d still be at Madrid, even Atletico wanted him as well last year and they just won the league for god sake.
Why are we as a fan base so adverse to good players? Legitimately? People talk up Tom Davies running around the place or Michael Keane having a run of 10 good games when players like James and Mina are almost always consistently very good they just have injury issues. Madness to me honestly.
I honestly do think it’s a fear of not getting success for some. As in some lads would hate to be in the race for Top 4 or a cup final because they’d hate the feeling of losing out in the end, they’d prefer we were just crap so at least then they’d have a reason to moan.
From day one there’s been certain people who’ve routinely talked nonsense about Moshiri, Brands, Carlo and James. All different aspects of the club but all negative slants taken on all and all by the very same people. Boggles my mind, I’m in my 20s I’ve never seen us win a thing, I don’t know what I’ll do when we win something but I know it’s gonna come under Carlo, I believe it. Maybe some others should start to have a bit of belief as well, better than constantly being negative.

Did Rodriguez have a bad game for us when he played?
I have read your contributions on this thread with my usual mixture of amusement , frustration , and wondering whether you are a WUM , or overly obsessed.
The guy came here on a free , and everyone knows that he is genuinely world class ,when fit.
Give your head a wobble , and compare the respective value for money of him , compared to some of the dross that we have (who may have played more games , and many who haven't !), who we have actually paid top money for in transfer fees , and then tell me he isn't worth it.

No , I think he's great just his not being available for every game is the sad thing
Not as good as McGeady in Daves eyes
Well said mate.
I am now approaching my 60th , so have seen good and bad.
Your attitude is to be applauded , and some of the usual suspects on here , need to be viewed with caution

Prove that please?
I wonder if he has the heart to work hard, get fit and force his way back into the national team. If he feels like his Colombia career is over then I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire.

So story says
Everton sent a medical report telling Colombia that James CAN’T play
Colombia coach asks James is if he is ok.
James says I’m ok, some minor knocks, but I’ll be ready to go for Colombia’s second match of the qualifiers in June 8
Colombia manager sends team doctor to check him out
Team doctor confirms Everton assessment
Coach proceeds to inform James of the medical diagnosis and that he will be out not only for the qualifiers but for the Copa
James gets upset
James is called off the team and it’s announced publicly
James posts letter saying he is upset and says he is disappointed and that he could play in the second match
Everton and Colombia were right and James needs to shut the hell up and focus on getting ready for next season

He failed his medical this week. The minute he is fully fit he is in the side.
Although his letter stunt today will likely require some careful handling...

Exactly how I feel. Perfect post.
Some on here thrive in the negativity. It's extraordinary.

Don't blame him for trying to play for his country even if that means telling a few fibs. But actually a lot of credit goes to the Colombian personnel to bother to check James, they could have easily risked him/hope he recovered in time. To not suggests they want him when he is 100% fit at a later date or Usmanov sent his best heavies to the various people in power and told them not to risk our asset or else. I'm hoping it's the former!
