2021/22 James Rodriguez

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Evertons very own Mesut Ozil.
Ozil just collected his paychecks for 2 years as Arsenal...

I get fed up hearing about young lads being "Tired".
Back before Sky invented football, the league had 42 games, plus the FA Cup and league cup, then add on European games if you were lucky enought to be involved in them.
Only ONE subsitute on the bench too.
No stamina in the lads playing these days.

Why not call Ancellotti to take him rather then leaving his mess behind

Lazy MF's...

Real cannot afford the wages.

 

[Bluestar]

But in the time played was our best player. Let's hope he stays and his fitness has improved having a pre-season under his belt.

Yes let’s, I would love to see James 2.0. Fitter and up the rigours of the PL.

Fannies the lot of them....

Your lofty ambitions just don't end, do they! It was only a few weeks bag the awful whiff of your mind was polluting these pages with support for Dyche as our next manager

Sadly I can't see the penny ever dropping for you as is apparent through the consistent problems within the content of your posts. The only way I can see these errors ever being fixed is by a change of approach, topic, and author, then you'd make more sense.

That's a bit harsh on him after all, he is the only football fan to realise that James is a cart horse.?

We're are we at with his wages at this moment in time? Last I heard it was £200k a week, must be nearer £300k by now...

 

[BlueToff]

Lads,James owes us nothing.

He's allowed to want a big fat wage at Porto and they're allowed to not want him.

We're also well within our rights, if he doesn't leave, to get him back in the squad and playing and he'll do it because he's actually a very good footballer.

If he doesn't go and the club think they're better off without him in the squad then they're thicker than I thought -though tbf they keep proving how thick they are with every passing day

£1,000,000 a goal too mate and £500k an assist.

It's why people say those things don't matter.

Playing at half the pace and retirering at 30

If he ends up staying then we need to use him. Even if it’s from the bench, would be easily our best attacking option, Rafael and James might need to swallow their pride on this one.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Interesting stat, Opta point out that Rodriguez is one of just three midfielders in Europe's top five leagues who have racked up over 50 goals and 50 assists since the 2013/14 campaign.

The Colombian international has in that time scored 54 times and assisted 52 goals. A remarkable return.

Former Madrid team-mate Angel Di Maria and ex-Tottenham star Christian Eriksen are the only midfielders to have done more - with Di Maria scoring 83 goals and completing 54 assists.

Those stats don't lie. James has always been effective generating goal opportunities for the teams he has played for even when he is not fully fit a whole season. He did the same for Everton last year but some lads here seem to have short term memories and are completely disregarding how important his goal/assist contributions were otherwise we may have landed even lower on the table.

they will have played at nowhere near the intensity
