I'm not believing anything, I'm stating what I've read.

If it were me, during the pandemic, I'd not have a player allowed on that holiday for the above reasons, as you 'pop the bubble'. I'm not talking about UK rules, I'm talking about club rules.

That's fine, I actually agree with you there - I don't think the club should have allowed players to go abroad. But they clearly did. Or the players wouldn't have gone. Again, a club decision. Unless they have both broken club rules.

Okay fair enough (on your first points). Those said reports clearly weren't well researched however, as the amber list rules for the UK clearly state if you're vaccinated there's no need to isolate (and the players test at least once a week anyway). And if they aren't fully vaccinated, then they have to do two days of isolation and then a 'PCR test to release' - if they're negative, good to go.

He's got more chance of scoring on that yacht.

He won't even be on the bench on Monday. Rafalafel with waffle out some lies in the presser as usual.

yet many many ppl will believe his lies with pleasure....
i would say to james to sit his contract , to not accept any loan to those god forsaken leagues. that sure will scorch some of the lads around here XD but more importanlty everton is weaker without him, 2 injuries... thats all whats needed to get us to newcastle status... raphatel will hvae to find a better xcuse to not use him.


BTW how come no 1 on the board puts raphatel on check? if am paying the bills i would clearly DEMAND the coach to grant the player the same FAIR chance that any other player deserves. i wouldnt care about personal vendettas or grudges or anything like that. fair and straight for every club asset... including james.

Apparently he won't be. Reports are he misses the next two games due to not being COVID secure on holiday, which is what I expected. Club can't risk an idiot on an international break mixing with his idiot mates and coming back contaminating the entire squad.

Does that go for Allan mate ?
Mingling with thousands in Disneyland.

Or Tommy D on a Skateboard convention ?
 
Cost us Diaz because he wouldn't reach terms with Porto; taken the piss all summer on social media; now puts himself in a red zone area and compromises the whole squad if he makes contact with them. How 'kin dare you, you little 'kin creep.

And how can anyone on here defend that feller? They diminish themselves by being his advocate - a player who drains the club with every passing day. Shame on you.

Don't deny that. Sure he'd rather be somewhere else, though he wasn't that desperate as he hasn't gone to Porto or Turkey. Also would add, however, the club want his wages off the books because of previous poor decisions coming back to bite us (i.e. paying Tosun £120k a week, Delph 90-100k, Gomes 120k). I don't think the club have shown him any love either in the process.

Second point, well, you don't actually know that at all. There's been nothing from the club, even in the briefed reports, that he has an attitude issue. We know him and Benitez haven't seen eye to eye in the past. However, he was in covid isolation for 10 days and then trained, then the next game, we were also trying to ship him out to Porto.

'Never fit'. Well, again, he can't help being in isolation. He didn't catch COVID. He could have been selected for Brighton but apparently chose not to be and the club were never going to play him while that move was on the cards. He played 26 games last season and managed more minutes for us than he has in 4/8 seasons. In those games, he directly contributed to 14 goals which was more than our other midfielders combined if you take GS out of the squad (I'm doing that because GS will likely never play for us again). Definitely had injury issues but he actually only played one game less than £100m man Jack Grealish last season.

Not sure how he's 'taken the pizz' putting photos of him being on holiday or with his kids on, but okay.

Again, those reports are mad but if true then that's on the club for authorising a trip to Ibiza, which is amber listed and only requires quarantine if the person is not double jabbed, and even then, there is a 'test to release' process after 2 days which the club would be overseeing with their weekly PCR testing that all the players have to do anyway. However, if they do that and force James not to play, then they'd equally have to force Allan not to play, as there is no way James going to see some mates on a yacht in Ibiza for two days and then doing a charity event at a school is any riskier than Allan going to Disney World where there are quite literally 100,000s if not millions of people, and Allan has been there for 4 days (oh, and also put lots of photos on social media including ones of him on private jets).

It isn't a red zone area though.

Surely you know this COVID king?

It's amber listed just like Paris, where Allan has been. His trip (and Allan's) will also have been authorised by the club beforehand, in full knowledge of the rules. If the club didn't know the rules then they're even more useless than I thought.

So it seems some lads here like to hammer James but can’t take It when someone hammers back and take it personal because that’s exactly what has happened with @R.Reddington as he decided to PM the message below but he seems to be too coward to post his sentiments in the open.

But since I’m such a pity of a woman and have no shame let me respond to you here. There is no need to feel sorry for my family, they are loved and cared for. So keep your concerns for your own family I don’t need your concerns for mine.

How can we hope to progress when we have subversives and interlopers such as Red.Reddington polluting our fanbase and abusing our women!

Football aside any male who abuses women should be put in the bin.

Forgetting all the James stuff, this is totally unacceptable behaviour in my humble opinion.

When it comes to lads supporting the blues, proper Evertonians are worth twenty Kopites because we are gents.

I agree on Benitez and james won’t be in the team Monday. !!

asumin the covid tests say james is ok... asuming he comes back to training as any other player ... what reason would you use to deny him even a place on the bench?. profesional objetive reasons , not the "i dont like him reasons"

you are up for a rude awakening ... in life if you really think this is remotly true.
think about talent as a "gifted hard work" meaning a talented person has to work really less than an untalented ppl to achieve the same results .

think about it like this... i would have to work a gazzillion times harder than lets say , michael jordan and still come short in galactical numbers. same aplies to ALL aspects of life.

that kind of statement implies the diference in talent is somewhat short, in that case you CAN overcome said talent, but is not an absolute true... also .. there are things that scapes the control of both talent and hard work.. randomness can trump BOTH.

(litle off topic rant but what ever :P)

Porto moved the goalposts David.
They wanted his buyout £68mil plus James on a free.
Not the 1st time a Portuguese club have done this.
But I suspect you knew that.
