James has only just turned 29 and has already played over 400 senior club games, actually 6 more than our other new signing Allan. He has also played 76 times for Colombia. If he carries on for another 4/5 years he could very easily top 600 club games and 100 caps. That is not the record of an injury prone lazy dud.Did anybody listen to the All Together Now podcast on Thursday night and they had the German and Spanish football expert on and he basically said James is going to be a dud, will always be injured, is lazy and doesn’t like bad weather?
Kind of put a downer on it for me cause I know he could and probably will be right.
He won’t be even given 3 games...I give it 3 games before he's declared too slow for the PL by a large section of our fans.

His injury record is not perfect like a Frank Lampard, but it's no worse that the average professional footballer. And as for being a dud, his form for the National team has always been top drawer, which is why football commentators from that part of the world are all delighted he is coming to Everton to play for a manager who knows his game well.
I'm often amazed at the number of blues who seem quite happy to accept as gospel any and all negative comments on the club, but dismiss anything positive.
Maybe because being left out because you're out of form and because you're injured are different things...Funny thing is the stats are there in plain sight.
Its like people calling Mina injury prone but Keane ever present when he played 1 extra game.
Takes 5mins to check.
Because 90%+ of stuff like this posted in here is pure wumming. The lad rarely posts so nobody knows him. He may well be genuine but when wums are allowed to post in here with apparent immunity you can't blame people for reacting the way they have.Why do people need to be so arsy when people share stuff like this?
Give them the benefit of doubt...
29, 50, roughly the samePeople will be joyful to have Messi as marquee signing when he is 50...
