I’ll be gutted to see him go but can’t see him staying as Carlo was the reason he came.
Got to say though why is his agent allegedly offering him out to clubs? Surely that’s not how it works. He’s under contract so therefore any club who wants him needs to contact Everton with an offer?!
 

A beautiful player, but he wasn't there when we needed him. I bow to nobody in my admiration for James, but he wasn't on the pitch enough to justify being treated with kid gloves. The new manager won't indulge him - and that's fine by me. At a time when we need maximum application from our players - and coaching staff - then we can't be setting a precedent that undermines work ethic and commitment to the cause. With Carlo gone, the structure isn't there for James anymore. He's a relic of the old, departed and now discredited regime.

Steve, you do realise how agents work, right? They tout their clients to clubs all the time. Some agents are worse than others for it (see Mendes and Raoila) but it's a generally acceptable part of the modern game.

Clearly I didn’t. Thanks for clearing that up.
I didn’t think James was for sale therefore as an Evertonian who’d prefer it if he didn’t leave I’m a bit miffed as I’d assume James wants out if he’s allowed his agent to do this.
Surely then as he’s under contract you’d expect there to be a fee involved?!

James will no doubt have agreed, Steve, that's the part where this agent business gets all bitter. James holds the ultimate power even with his agent touting him about.

I've seen reports of a 10m fee in this very thread, pal.

Probably good I’m not in the football business. If I was a Manager or club owner etc I’d want to wring their sodding necks!!!- slimey gits

Agents rule the roost Steve, if the player moves frequently the agent makes big bucks on the back of it, they don't care if the player is tied up on a long term contract. Absolutely no loyalty in football now whatsoever, Ancelotti is a perfect example, his agent will be getting fat on the back of him.
