On the list of players we should be binning off, Rodriguez is way, way down near the bottom. I don't get our fans sometimes.

Sadly mate the problem is we really cant afford him in the treatment room.
I dont buy into the "He plays when he wants" mantra tho, as Big Oil said above, I just think hes really injured, a lot.
But yeah, my point stands, I would rather have Hamez for 3 games a season than watch anybody else for 38.
They hated each other.

James should get himself down the brick sounds like he’d fit in

Did anyone expect him to play more than 20 games a season, though? He never managed that in Germany or Spain, where most of those matches are like a training session.
We can afford for him to be in the treatment room if we have better players around him. I'd happily take coutinho and have them both play half a season each rather than have to rely on Bernard, iwobi or sigurdsson.

I appreciate it might be an unpopular opinion but if I don’t see him live in a blue shirt at goodison , then I’ll feel like I’ve been cheated of the experience.
He'll be going then most likely, I'd like him to stay personally.

I think if Yerry Mina, Richarlison and others can make him feel part of the group, and in general we improve our team ethic - sadly missing in recent years - he would be happy to stay for a year. I think playing for Columbia is a big motivation, and he's worth a lot more than Iwobi, Bernard, Gomes and Siggy to our team. It's just last year everything was so dysfunctional at times that nobody really stood out, apart from Pickford, DCL & Godfrey on a consistent basis.
We desperately, for so many different reasons, need strong leadership and a much much better team bond.
Do you reckon Fat wad takes snacks out when hes leading the training?

Theres not really much evidence to support this BTW. A few media reports at the time because he didn't start the 1st game. But he started the 2nd and was in the side more or less until he was injured on international duty and missed 2 months. He then started as sub a few times, which is a cautious move most managers would make bringing back a star, especially when you can just bring in another galctico to replace him.
He then started games again, taken off a few times in 2nd half, finished others. Pretty similar treatment to his father figure Ancelotti. But 1 of them was loved and the other was disliked from the start, so you can see how that goes from experience. 2 months later, in January, Benitez was gone despite being top of the CL group and touching distance of 1st place in the league.
The media will manipulate any situation to sell a story and help push a narrative. And the Chinese whispers start and get out of hand. I've seen people suggest he refused to play him, which is just untrue.
Time will tell if they do indeed work together, but it doesn't help to feed rumours based on very little evidence. Even if they have had professional differences, it doesn't preclude them from ever working together again.
As I've always said, I try not to burn bridges, as you never know who your next boss will be.
