2021/22 James Rodriguez

[msb]

The same old story, just off-load the rubbish to someone else to pay big money to them, would that life were so easy.

Of the buys, Tosun and Delph are the most irritating, as it was abundantly clear that neither had anything to offer. Gbamin remains an unknown, he's either the unluckiest man in the world or Darren Anderton in disguise. We desperately needed (need) a player that can do what he is supposed to be doing, his injury record is catastrophic, I honestly don't know if he is a good player.

Main difference being that James, for all intents and purposes, was on mega money. Also, apparently we can actually spend now that he's gone according to Benitez just then.

It's clear that he wasn't financially making sense anymore.

When we signed James he was on 90k, Delph is on 120, so even if the 150k reports for James are true it’s not much more

You’ve solidly demonstrated you’re not one of these kids as FIFA ratings go up to 99

That's when I last played Fifa was 1999, "Rockefeller skank". Great track.

Delph has cost us more since being here than James has cost us.

Delph has only made 5 more appearances but less minutes than James as well. And we have him for another year of contributing nothing.

Close the thread.

Boring now seeing the Jaffa fanboys lapping it up and making out this is a huge win for us (it's not), when they should be hammering the club and senior management for the absolute state we are in, both on and off the pitch.

Quick question - Will Sean longstaff get his grid projected onto the miami or new York cityscapes when Jaffa sings him?!

Sick burn...

Benitez on James
James is a very easy & complicated issue. When you had a player in the situation that we had, who could be available for just 50% of games overall, it's not something we can manage... We have to think about the season, not just two or three games
It's not easy to find good offers when you want. You have to manage the offers when they are there. We couldn't find the right ones before. It's the right one for him... We have to ensure the long-term future of the club is protected


Enough said.

@Spadge Vernacular why are these geordie-kopites who hate Evertons manager trying to ruin our club?

MEGA meeting this evening to discuss.

I honestly don't mind Benitez being here, but his maths is shocking.

50% of 38 = 19.....

It was 23 games. Close enough. As I said before he isn't going to specify the percentage to the decimal like a complete weapon.

Missed a few in them competitions aswell.......

It's not that that's the issue mate,he is spot on of course.

That being said, if we weren't so cash-strapped, we'd have been able to just keep him until Jan and use him in 50% of games to maximise him.

But we are financially knackered. And that's what fans should be angry about. Not directing their vitriol at the player, or even the manager.

100% this. Brands and Moshiri have put us in this position. Questions need answering as to how this has been allowed to happen, and why our DOF was rewarded with a new contract for it.

Saaaaaaaaake, arguing weather its 50 or 56 percent of games missed. Like its an argument of virtue.

You 7%r's need a cold shower and a break for a while. Punch drunk.

I think a lot of that has been drunk lately

I believe the correct term is "rotated out."
You can only play in the games you are picked for.

Well some believe in santa clause but the fact is he was injured for some of them. Not rotated. Notable one he missed through injury was 5-4 v spurs.

Take a breather from this James thing. Its making you be wrong a lot.
