Well, he'll go his whole Everton career without seeing any fans.
Our next home game is Mid-September, by which time he'll probably be long gone.
Personally I'd have loved to see him play at Goodison even though the football around him was absolutely pedestrian at times.
The first 15/20 min yesterday and the entire second half are exactly why his wage is better spent elsewhere. Off the ball movement, midfielders running with intent into the box, aggression.
He's a wonderful player, but completely unsuited to how the current manager expects the team to play.
Give me yesterdays commitment over last seasons walking football any day of the week.
Don't get me wrong, if we were an overall more dominant team he'd be a wonderful addition.I've said it all summer and been laughed at, flogged by the usual supa fans - but Everton is a much better and balanced side without him and the same goes for the slug brothers of Gomes and Siggurdsson.
This really bothers me as well. I’d like us to sign players that give a s***.I’m assuming James, who’s being forced out despite being desperate to stay and play for the mighty blues, who isn’t really isolating, he’s being forced to stay away from Finch Farm by Rafael who doesn’t like him because he’s never played alongside JonJo Shelvey, poor James who just wants to be loved and give back to the fans he’s never met because he’s either flying home early, his balls hurt or he’s a bit tired… I’m assuming that same James watched the game yesterday and instantly tweeted congratulations to his club and teammates, made comments about how great it is to see fans back in grounds, posted his excited of being back soon or something…. Anything. Please someone tell me after all the division between fans largely fulled by his hard luck stories on twitch he at least got behind his team despite being stuck at home?
You make some good points but fans are generally disregarding that he provided any spark last season as if he was a total waste of space when in reality he was our most influential player largely when he played. He might not be the right fight in a scrap of a game but he could be the dig fence in a tight game against Top opposition. Scored a worldy at Old Trafford set up the winner at Anfield and people forget how unbelievably good he was at the start of last season. Nobody has a crystal ball but if you posted this after the Brighton game last year you would have been laughed off the forum.Would James have brought anything extra to yesterdays second half than the team out there provided?
If so who would he have replaced? I can't think of anyone.
Yesterdays fightback was a matter of physical strength, grit and determination, we looked stronger than we have for ages with very powerful looking players doing their bit.......even if some may not have the world class moments in their lockers as we know James has.
As a wild card to bring on for the last 20 minutes I get it, but relying on him to be a first 11 starter is a joke, he'd ruin any stability we built. Never would you have a run of 6 games with an unchanged side if he was part of it. I'd like him gone to get a few more bargain bucket lads in like the 2 who did very well yesterday. Far more inkeeping with our goal of beating Ancelottis 10th spot and not fooling ourselves again a top 4 spot is possible this season. Trinkets are for when we really do have a proven solid quad with results to match.

This is the problem with James: he's not worth the drama. Personally, I love him. He's the only player in our squad who is actually worth watching. He's technically gifted and is always capable of moments of sublime brilliance. But we're just an accidental detour on his farewell celebrity tour of European football. He came because he trusted Carlo, not because Everton was a draw in any other way. I have no issue with that. His signing was a coup. Here was a gifted superstar on the way down who arrived to join a legendary manager on the way down. We couldn't turn our noses up at this. But once Carlo departed, the logic of James at Everton - whatever it was - completely evaporated.You don’t get better by subtracting quality
That’s one of those misconceptions that nerds behind computers like to make to sound like they are smart
Especially a team like us that has a few standout players. Whether from the bench or starting or not starting certain matches, quality should always be welcomed in clubs.
I just don’t care if he leaves or stays because it’s not worth the drama, not here nor at the club
Lets just end this here buddy.I've said it all summer and been laughed at, flogged by the usual supa fans - but Everton is a much better and balanced side without him and the same goes for the slug brothers of Gomes and Siggurdsson.

When Townsend came off , who would you rather see coming on in that position yesterday Iwobi or James ?
