2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Clarky cat]

I dont see it.

Yes it’s not that big judging by the pictures, certainly not troubling big Dion…. He is a literal weapon, someone who could cause damage on the pitch with his ability but behaves like a weapon off it.

I have seen what he has done on the pitch to be a weapon.

I havnt seen anything off the pitch though.

lol

A common cultural reference.

In Friends, Joey is thick. Lovely bloke, but daft. Ross is a nerd, and Chandler is awkward.

Then I would say he is a bit thick, a bit like Joey. Very clueless at times but without bad intentions.

Thats kinda what I assumed.

...you do know that @coollino was not being serious?
If not, perhaps you may want to self-impose a limit on your exposure to the internet.

Well if you had read the next comments before jumping you would have got the answer to that. Maybe your too excited, should limit your exposure to the internet

Dang, I was trying to imagine such thickness and was getting ready to response

At times I don't get words. Shouldn't dumb be thin instead of thick lol

When you call someone 'thick' it's in reference to the term 'thick as mud' so not very bright.

Growing up he also used to have a speech disability so at times it seems he still has trouble with words and expressing himself clearly.

Ha, biblical sense. Really? Now I'm really curious about the story behind the word.

Btw, I appreciate the added description

Thick relates to the erroneous old belief that the thickness of one's skull was directly related to their intelligence.

A thicker skull, less room for a big brain in essence.

Most of a certain age will have at sometime heard "can't you get it through your thick skull" when they or someone is being a bit slow on the uptake.

Yeah, I was aware of that. Just hope him and the Manager can sort whatever issues they have out.

My perhaps naive thinking is that managing RM, and the attendant superstar players, is different gravy to managing Everton. With one superstar player.

Awwwww Tommy. I knew I could count on you on more than just recipes Thanks for going over the roots of this word. X

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

And this James fella is a weapon, in every sense.

Yes mate, I agree with this. In speed of thought, passing, dribbling, and shooting most definitely our deadliest weapon ?

 

[PaddyJames]

Go ed James ya bad girth blert

 

[Hangleton]

Whereas Delph is our most useless tool.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Whereas Delph is our most useless tool.

An unvaccinated tool too ?

I love the player. But, is he a bit thick? Like Ross Barkley was a decent footballer, but thick as mince. I am sure its the same in Colombia, but the vast majority of UK footballers come from a working class background, and while media coaching and being in academies since they were 2, has taught them how to behave, the Marcus Rashfords and Raheem Sterling examples are still pretty rare.

Having a working class background has nothing to do with being thick.
Being a told how great you are at age two, that's what makes some young people the [Poor language removed] that they are.
