2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Sheedy's right knee.]

lol lol lol

He's had a massive chance here. He's blown it.

We are just a cash cow for him. You know that.

Get shut and make the cash saved on wages fund another player who can fit into the manager's system.

Just like he was a cash cow for us when we were lauding him all over social media when he signed it cuts both ways. He has raised the profile of the club. If he goes and the money is reinvested well I am non plussed you talk like he never put a shirt on last season and made any telling contribution which is bullshit. At least he doesn’t kiss the badge.

What would you call his antics since the end of last season until now? Leaving before the season ended; social media sly digs.

Have some self respect. He's spitting in our faces and laughing.

I haven't read his social media posts. Show me a few. What were the circumstances in him leaving early for Copa America?
Is there anything else?

Sell James

Keep UpTheTofees

There are no "antics"

Why do we as a fanbase always have to be so black and white?

We brought in a top class player last year who did OK for us, came because of who the manager was at the time and got pretty much what we expected out of him.

Now times have changed, the manager is different and he doesn't want him and Rodriguez isn't that interested in changing his mind. That's fine, it happens all the time.

It doesn't have to mean that Rodriguez is up to any "antics" or is "spitting in our faces" nor does it mean that the manager hates anything creative and wants to destroy any School of Science links (which lets face it have been gone for about 30 years...).

It's a purely sporting and business thing. He can move on without us hating anyone.

Common sense prevails thank the lord.

So could I, but they either can't shift them (Kean) for an acceptable fee or no clubs are in for them because they're crap/wages (Gomes, Delph)

Benitez is the manager, the player is a disposable irrelevancy.

How are they interchangeable in this sense?

Considering we've punted /lost 5 managers in around 5 years and a whole bunch of players are still here shows you who are the "disposable irrelevancy" .

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Anyone else reckon he'd make a good 'impact sub' in games where we're struggling to break a stubborn defence down? you'd imagine that oppo players would see him taking the pitch from minute 70-75 and automatically give him a yard. An actual 'plan B' for once.

Common sense prevails thank the lord.

Life of footballer prime, Tbone steak. Tell the fans what they want hear.

Whilst I agree with your post, and the fact that your approach is both common sense and level headed, it leaves no room for hate and vitriol. Please don’t try it again Mr Shango as it will leave many members with nowhere to go. Thank you and namaste.

Are you saying that talented footballers should not have to track back and work hard ?

The best footballers and the best teams all work hard.
Their skill is the icing on the cake

It’s a myth that he didn’t work hard, fabricated by people who want cart horses and don’t like talent

 

[nsno-chris]

We all want players who can play...and work...and get themselves onto the pitch.

So James Rodriguez then

 

[Deleted member 48881]

Freaking FSW wrecked his motivation for this club and the fans and left him no option. Of course money was a driven factor too, but he wasn't here just for that. And we needed him for the season. Such a shame. I thought they would get along well thanks to both speaking Spanish but Benitez probs had some kind of grudge for him long before he arrived. Weird.

Keep James

Sell the Caldy fraud

There is always Fabian Delph...

 

[Terrarian]

It feels like a lot are kicking him due to his online personality rather than his football ability which is a shame.

Also, he speaks Spanish, he made a comment in Spanish, was he supposed to do it in swahili or something. far too many get a hump about absolutely f all at times.
