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?!
