Or we could pay him a non-fatigue bonus ??Alternatively, we pay his entire wages whilst he's unavailable for almost half a season through general malingering.

Strange that no other top clubs have come in for him.
Im happy for him to stay, he’s still a very top class talent and I think he will be an important player for us if he does. Maybe he didn’t want to stay but he has to just pull his finger out now and get on with it like a professional.
Perfect summary.It's his wages. And no European clubs can afford those wages and a fee.
I know you're not saying this, but our fanbase like to jump to conclusions and go 'well, he must be crap then'
He's an excellent player but we know he has fitness issues. There is also a flawed idea he can't play in a team which plays direct football. He very much can. However, 'direct' doesn't just mean long ball, and he wouldn't be suited to every game.
It's clearly best for all parties if a move surfaces (even though that'd be a shame, and only good for us if we get someone in).
But if he is here, then it is on the manager to get him back into the squad and it's on James to be motivated. We can't do something stupid like leave him out of the PL squad when he's our highest earner and from a technical standpoint probably the best player we've had at the club since the 80s.
I’m asking generally mate, not club specific.Well Man City just kept on playing Mendy

sorry i revised your post.. it's more like this.James wants to leave
Mendes wants to find him a new club
EvertonFSW want him gone
Less than a 1% chance he is still at Everton at the end of the day, it wouldnt benefit anyone.

One of very few sensible posts I've read in this threadIt's his wages. And no European clubs can afford those wages and a fee.

Outside of our investigations on social media, James hasn't said he wants to leave and Benitez hasn't said he doesn't want him in the squad.James wants to leave

If they can't cooperate, it's both the player's and the manager's fault.
A professional player should be able to work under any manager and a professional manager should be able to motivate his players, deal with their egos and get the best out of them.
I'm still in #TeamJames
If he is the hip cup to bringing Diaz
f it
just buy Diaz and keep James
we need depth
last season injuries did us in
