2021/22 James Rodriguez

Porto wanted him?

The reports from Portugal suggested Porto didn't want him in the deal at all.

History is the past

Nice one Copernicus.

F knows then. Ones I seen was they couldn't agree a deal in the end and we couldn't afford the deal without hamez being involved init so we pulled out

"I'll say it with all sincerity that if Carlo weren't here, I wouldn't have come."

When Carlo left he had no interest in staying. He realised he wouldn't be able to fly back to Colombia whenever he wanted or take December off.

What's with all the James love in here......yes technically he has it all in the locker. Physically and mentally he doesn't. Suited the Ancelotti slow game somewhat but is no way compatible with the Benitez style - simply doesn't have the pace or the application. And he was never worth £200k plus per week.

Are you gonna name some bum from the past as well?

Why would I bother? You wouldn't know them.

He's got a solid hairline and was an 85 on fifa a new years ago, that's all this lot need.

I like Townsend, good lad, head screwed on and knows he's at a massive club.

Problem is, he's not very good and that's just a harsh truth. Rodriguez is so much better it's unreal, again not sure who's to blame but it's been clear from day one Rafael/the club didn't want Rodriquez so from day one they should have got in a replacement. Or at least said your not going anywhere till the winter when we can replace you

A journeyman I believe is the term used. Equally an 'honest pro' can also be interchanged.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Well my suspicions were first aroused by the fact he was playing about on social media with no idea or care who we were playing.

The fact he would rather play for a club in Qatar than everton has just added to it.

You are correct mate, he was on the money when he said this a week back as we Everton fans do love him.

“Everton play on Monday, if they want to take me I’m ready, I’m looking forward to playing if it’s my turn.

“I’m very happy because the Everton fans have shown me a lot of affection, if I get to play I’ll play well as always.”

And he was spot on with this

"Firstly, we need to be fighting it out around the top of the league. The past two games haven't been as good as we would have liked but that's the Premier League.

"And that's what I want: for the team to play good football and perform at a high standard.

A true blue hero. ?

Hang on so Benitez lied that James had pulled himself out with a muscle injury then? Or was this something completely made up? I did ask for clarification but got no response so I'm sceptical.


Bottom line is James doesn't want to be here, you could even argue that he never really wanted to anyway. I don't want players like that anywhere near the club.

file under Gascoigne, Ginola, Eto'o and Rooney the Second,

Pickpocketed us late in their career yet still amassed a little fanboy following who get stars in their eyes too easily?

 

[Paul Chambers]

Name a better player we’ve had.

Kinell, have you been smoking crack for breakfast?
