2021/22 James Rodriguez

[kithnou]

I thought I read somewhere James and Benitez had discussions, and are all good, and James will be given opportunity to play. Where is he travelling to?

 

[tim cahill]

If Rodriguez has a place in our team it'll be as one of the front 2 in my opinion. I don't think Benitez will play him out wide because he wants too much defensively. But off the striker I think James would give you as many goals/assists as Richarlison would. His set pieces would also be valuable.

Correct. James has X factor which can't be taught and is hard to find. Give him the chance to perform in front of the faithful.

I give up again ??‍

Why? The manager might say what he wants and if he delivers happy days at the moment we don't know until selected until then how do you know smart arse

 

[miff]

Why did you want us to have Bolasie but not James, Miff. Why?

Why did you want us to have Fat Sam and Benitez, Miff, but not Ancelotti?

Why do you want bad things for Everton, Miff? Why don't you like us?

More madness ???
Your posts are actual comedy gold

Sweet dreams about James ?

@miff

So, your thoughts about James. Is he creative and does he assist like you wanted to portay as important assets of Bolasie?

Are you being a bit naughty, Miff? Are you trying to tease us

Anyone who thinks that having James here hasn’t given new exposure to the Club must be blind.

BTW, while I did buy an official shirt I didn’t buy a James shirt but spent even more money to personalize it because regardless of James I’m now a Blue

Can you cover at LB when Digne gets injured?

 

[Jeff Jones]

Just put him up front behind DCL and leave him there. He won't need to do much running around and he won't need to cover
for defenders.

It won't affect Benitez' game plan and we can watch him doing his thing feeding the ball to the guys who score the goals, as well
as scoring a few himself.

Are we now meant to care about what footballers do on their days off?

I thought the people who watch the 'training videos' were bad enough ffs

Richarlison covers a lot of ground when playing off DCL so it will impact Benitez's game plan. It's a likely plan B I'd think

 

[Jeff Jones]

Just needs tweaking. We want Richo and James up there and Benitez should be able to sort it.

 

[ToffeeM4n]

Because Benitez is 100% professional
James is a self indulgent gobshite and gives you 60% always

I don't think he's an "always 60%" guy and it's Benitez's job to get 100% out of every player, not just him, but my question was more has he said he doesn't want James or we are guessing.

Anyway, I got it. You don't like James.

Also: 60% of James produce much more than 120% of Townsend or Iwobinho(nothing against the lads)

Few extra shirts aren’t going to cover his wages.
to make a real commercial success you need to sell millions of shirts. To do that you need European success and x-factor players
