2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Stuartisitc1878]

Openly disrespecting the club now, and still people want to defend him.

I've just had someone on twitter question whether the twitch stuff is even real because he hasn't seen it. Proper flat earther stuff!! James is an incredible talent but I've never seen a player less arsed about our club be so heavily defended by fans. Maybe it's because he's seen as some sort of Anti Benitez movement or something.
I still go back to the end of last season as we were getting spanked by City he was off home early posting pictures on his private jet. Just didn't sit right with me.

We are called a "small club" because we have been utter rubbish and have not won nothing for 30 years.

It's OK though, it will just mean that he becomes our manager in a few years time.

I didn't mean that.

I meant it easy for Everton to be branded a small club when a large number of vocal supporters cry themselves to sleep over a player who has absolutely no interest in being here. They somehow think his (diminished) status makes us more relevant.

Get him out the door.

He'll soon stink out his next club with his Bertie Big Balls attitude.

Cant wait for Correa to replace this bhoy.

Benitez had him sussed from day one.

WTF do you expect when he has been distanced from the club and the squad. I don't know the context of this or even what was said, but the club are at least as much to blame in this. He uses twitter. He doesn't know who we're playing. Why should he if he hasn't been near the place.

Your literally saying its OK for a professional footballer of Everton to not know who his team are playing in 48 hours.

How can anyone even reason with someone who thinks that?

Is this for real?!

 

[BNJ1878]

Grown men simping for a football player who doesn’t want to play for Everton. Cringe

It really is mind bending.

 

[jinkyali]

I've been one of his strongest advocates and wanted him to stay, but this is just shameless and uncalled for from James.

Show a little bit of professionalism and know our next opponent - what if the squad is hit by a covid outbreak and James is one of the few "fit" (using the term loosely) players, who need to play?! I thought he was training and preparing hard to be ready whereever he is?! Doesn't seem that way.

I've been frustrated at the things both him and Benitez were saying (or not saying), but there's absolutley no need for this latest example of blatant disregard & disrespect for his current employer.

Benitez definitely has his share of the blame in all of this, by ostracizing James, but James should show he's better than that and stop disrespecting Everton with his twitch ramblings.

This isn't even a up yours to Benitez - it's an up yours to the club and it's fans, and there's just no need for it.

Tara James, we hardly knew ye...

Spot on mate.

Not if a deal was in progress. I suspect that it's just a case of when it's finalised.

Maybe. But then it should work both ways. No?

 

[JMT]

is there a reliable translation for what he said? People 100% take things out of context for clicks and views.

TBF, we cant expect a player employed by the club as a player who gets £200k pw wages off them to keep up with who the team's next opponents are. That's unfair of us.

 

[miff]

Sorry. We not allowed a different opinion now.

He's been ostracised since the day Be itez turned up and even had his shirt number given to an academy player.

Don't like the social media stuff and would have liked him to have shown more dignity, but the guy is entitled to be miffed. He's been treated just as bad as Niasse and I had a go at the club over that episode too.

You can have an opinion
But you’re wrong to defend him
Look at his record, he gets turfed out by every club and never plays a full season
Benitez knows him from old and irrespective of Benitez’s own faults, we have a duty to support the manager, not a tit who thinks he’s bigger than the club
Please remember when he was too tired to play . He’s a relented fraud and has been at every club who’s employed him

Yeah. Given that he's not been part of the squad set up for over 2 weeks. Not even sure he speaks good English

 

[dublinbluenose]

Has anyone got a translation of what he said - did he say i havebt bothered to find out who we are playing or was it I havent a clue about Leeds?

I know most of the forum have good spanish but I dont

When he was fatigued and couldn’t play, was that taken out of context?

 

[davek]

There is no justification for his actions. None.

He is flailing about on social media taking digs at a club that's handed him a fortune. He has to remain silent until another club helps us get him out of Everton. It's not his job to act like an idiot lashing out - that;'s not putting himself in the shop window. He must have rubbish advisers if he thinks that.
