2020/21 James Rodriguez

[blulouie]

Before the game against Wolves from the mouth of Uncle Carlo who basically gave him a free reign - Ancelotti said, per the Liverpool Echo: "James is out because he was a little bit tired' Imagine if Tom Davies said that, he'd get absolutely slaughtered.
The man has ability but he's a lazy luxury, we can't afford

Imagine if Tom Davies could rack up 15 goals/assists in 26 games.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if he leaves, I still think it will be because he wants to go.

I don't know what will happen, just my thoughts.

He might want to leave cos he's a little tired..........

A season is more than 26 games, check how many games he's played for any club in the last 10 seasons..........he's talented but lazy - simple

James is often the "Spark" each of us is excited about watching and anticipating during the game when nothing else seem happening. With better players around, the spark will drive our engine room.

Fair point

Check how many goals Tom Davies has been involved in all his career.

Tom Davies doesn’t play due to his lack of ability
This fella has all the ability in the world but has never been arsed using it at any club
He has a go when it suits him

he played really hard for madrid... he also played really hard for bayern munchen, even as a pseudo defensive midfielder on the back (good enough to get into bundes liga first 11) , james plays as long as his legs allow him to, many times the head wants but the body refuses...

after he got knocked from copa america , james had a personal goal: to prove reinaldo rueda (NT coach) wrong, being here or on what ever team lets him play, everton shouldhve used that, the guy is desperate to get back into colombia NT. BUT... i guess getting him off the wages is more beneficial to the club.

hehe i would love to see james in other EPL team, lolz maybe Villa (if they sell grealish) , heck or even arsenal... but in EPL..

even if this is true (I think his omission from the Copa shows there were injury concerns and who knows what ancelotti was playing at at that stage of the season, clearly a manager who couldn't care less at that point) his lazy talent is still better and more productive than anything we have or could buy.
I'm 44 and sick of watching talentless try hards, give me James for 26 games any day.

I agree he’s as talented as we’ve had for years. He’s lazy. Imagine a full house at Goodison after he backs out of tackle after tackle and doesn’t do any tracking back at all. He’ll get roasted. It was okay in front of an empty stadium, I don’t think the fans would let him stroll around and showboat when he wants.
We need great players, not great lazy players

Why cant we boot James and sign a creative player who actually works hard and is fit for most of the season?

In some people's mind it seems James is the only creative player in the universe.

You may be right but look at his stats, simple fact is he hardly plays wherever he is, there must be a reason for that

No....just the only creative player at this club.

Then replace him with someone reliable and less tired
