2020/21 James Rodriguez

[The Littlest Yobo]

Would take this with a truckload of salt. His mate Carlo was only talking about waiting to sign a contract extension a few weeks ago. Any half credible team comes in for him and he’s off.

I don’t know I don’t think so

that’s fine? Wtf he doesn’t make sense what so ever - I would expect him to go back to Madrid and be the calendar boy again

Stay here James and tease my bull head with fleeting appearances every now and then, remind me football can be beautiful you sweet Prince.

That is a poor translation of what he said on a IG live with Camilo Zuniga and Teo Gutierrez (teammates of his at Brasil 2014).

In the live people were asking him about the Real rumors he said:

“No sé. Yo creo que no. Estamos viendo si me quedo otro año más ahí, está bien”

"Don't know. I think not. We are looking at if I stay another year there (Everton), it's good"

He was also asked directly on Carlo coming calling again and said:

“No creo que Ancelotti me vaya a llevar al Real Madrid, creo que es un ciclo cerrado, pero aún estoy joven.

I don't think Ancelloti will take me to Real Madrid, I think that's a circuit that's closed, but I'm still young.

I'm translating literally above while that Toffee Blues acct took some liberties that make it seem like he was making it seem like he was settling by staying. He was just saying that it's his plan to stay and he doesn't buy the rumours.

If Everton does hire Nuno, I'd expect him to stay as he will then be very tapped into who Everton are signing via Mendes.

He made a couple of aggressive statements on the Colombian NT (and them not trusting him that he's healthy when they ve asked him to play hurt in the past - and he was happy to do so) that have gone over terribly for him (rightfully so) in Colombia, so it's been a rough day for the guy.

What does he mean “we’re looking if we stay another year”? His contract runs for another year! I read that more as they’re looking for somewhere else.

There’s far too many Everton Twitter accounts competing for the same followers. You’ll see the same story posted 15 times within 5 minutes. Doesn’t matter who is correct, just as long as you’re first

He knows he is pretty much finished at playing at top level, the lad is a realist at least.

Dunno. I took it to mean mean we're looking at staying another year and that he's good with it. I translated literally above to point out that the quote people are getting angry about / reacting to in that tweet took some liberties.

 

[vintage-toffees]

Will be stunned if he is here come the slamming of the transfere window door

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Cant imagine him wanting to play for nuno.

Cant imagine him wanting to play for nuno.

I always got the vibe that players generally like nuno.

So did I. Also, same agent, speak the same native language and imagine Nuno’s system won’t be demanding much running from him.

His attack seems to center around the attacking midfielder. Despite being defensive last year they pass it around the midfield pretty well, granted he never had to work w/ our midfield.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

I think he will be staying, specially after what he said yesterday on Instagram’s live stream.

Once again, James has always met his contract obligations and it seems he will be doing the same at Everton. He is definitely not going back to Madrid.

 

[Ring master]

I want players that are fully committed to us, not one's that cant decide if they are staying or going lol [Plus i want us to get rid of the ones that want to stay but we dont want to keep lol]

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

He might well do, but that doesn’t mean that Sigurdsson is gash, as you put it.
There are probably also plenty of professional footballers laughing at James now….no commitment, no energy, constant fatigue, and dropped by his national side.
Being talented is not enough by itself.
James might be one of the most talented or gifted players to ever put on our shirt. Maybe more so than our holy trinity of midfielders even. But people will remember them in our shirt for eternity. We will have forgotten that James even played for us in about five years. Same as Samuel Eto’o.

YES, he is.
