It is odd, considering they used to use every opportunity to show him.
Sure I saw him and Benitez greeting each other at the start of the vid, look friendly enough, but only back of the head shots now of James - clearly edited under orders, when previously we couldn't get a camera under his nose quick enough.

He's clearly persona non Grata under Benitez - were still trying to shift him it would seem.

Makes no sense to me - I Really don't get why we can't use him, even off the bench, and also show him properly in training - he's still one of the biggest names in the world game - it's farcial really.

Sure we will hear more horsedung out of Benitezs mouth tomorrow - wonder what excuse he will give for no James in the squad vs Brighton?!

It's financially irresponsible to have your highest earner coming off the bench. If he's not fit for Rafael's play style, he needs to go on those wages.

If no one wants him in those wages, then that's the bed we've made for ourselves and not James fault - I really think he just wants to play footy.

Also, our "world class" manager should be able to find a way of playing with a skillful, exciting attacking player like James, in with the defensive minded ones around him.

As much as I dislike Ancelotti, he managed to find a way to play with James that was effective and exciting during the early part of last season - the injuries and piss weak squad scuppered that tho, plus Ancelotti checking out on us much earlier than reported, when real flashed their drawers at him.
 

Probably reading too much in to it.
I got the same vibe too, I was thinking to myself "Did they tell the video editor to specifically remove any sight of him"

Always said not bothered if he went, but he's our best player and it's shocking the way he's seemingly being treated, can't believe we won't even play him

coz we’re nobs. we’ve always wanted a star we have one and the fat one doesn’t like him - Hooooooof
 
Don’t mind RB putting him in the doghouse. Kean either. Show him he’s not bigger than the club, no one is.

Both of them should realize they’re not getting any other takers so they’d better get on with it here, and he’s not having any diva crap

That’s good. Carlo indulged the big names.
