2021/22 James Rodriguez

The more the summer unwinds, the more it seems like he’s downed tools.

James agents and himself, they’ve pulled a blinder. Blame Rafael, he can’t possibly lose.

We got a year out of a household name, who doesn’t appear to have had 100% heart. He gave us some decent memories, and there won’t be any animosity on my front, just move him now and get a replacement, that Días could be perfect.

We did not get a year of football out of him unfortunately.
 

Feels like it's turning into a game of Where's Wally with this lad

He was never going to play today once the rumours of the Porto thing surfaced. Given his injury record, if we're wanting to include him in the deal, then we aren't going to risk him.

If he's still here after Tuesday (I doubt it), then I'm sure he'll be used. He's been back training this week.
 

Brilliant player, probably too much quality to be at club at our level.. but zero backbone as a professional footballer. Its no coincidence that he missed so many games for us last season with trivial injuries looking back at his career. How many games did he miss after Virgil injured his ball last season? We used it against VVD in the pickford argument but if we're being honest he hardly touched James.
Will look back at his career once its over and regret having all the quality in the world but no spine.
 
Given the state of football finance, especially on the Continent, I can’t see anyone taking James given his wages and track record unless Everton pay a proportion of wages on a loan deal. Take the hit financially or integrate back into the squad that’s how I see it
 
Who would he have displaced in today's side, looking at what we saw today?

Richarlison's antics aside, that was a committed team effort one through eleven and the midfielders and wingers all played great two-way football. It would have been a weaker side with James just gliding around. Even if he threaded a few silky passes for a goal or big chance here or there.

As insane as it sounded, if we're going to play like this week in and week out I think I agree with RB that he doesn't fit.
