Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

The delay is probably just because they are trying to get Shakira across to do the music on the video!

My mom's uncle's dad's pet cat says he has seen the medical report and it says that his hips don't lie

Morning troopers.

The announcement has lost it's lustre for me. Taking way too long to announce these, everyone from China to Colombia knows he's signed. Just get him in training at this point and win.

Anyone heard anything from @Kenshin ? I’m intrigued

Nah, bitched it hasn’t he.

Wish we'd sign him, I've got adverts for crusader kings 3 on every page I turn over and it's appealing to my naughty side

So if we are going to play 4-3-3 where would everyone right side of front 3 or part of the middle 3?

I think he'll mix it up a bit but save the 433 for the more difficult games where he'll play a more solid middle three. So right of the front 3 for me.

Over the moon with this signing, he’s one of the best footballer in the world and we are signing him.. it’s madness.

we need to sign players with experience and quality and a winning mentality and both him and Allan have that. Yes it’s great to sign young kids but you need a spine of experienced players with the right attitude.
Post locked down showed us we had the wrong mentality

James is a number 10 he doesn’t like nor play to well in a 4-3-3

For a team that struggled to win/keep possession and create chances for most of the season, Doucoure/Allan/James fix a lot of problems

I'm getting a load of 50 yo women from my area who all want to meet me for some reason

He’s been up all night fabricating his next “scoop” with his receptionist mate.

I answered a question. I don't actually think we'll play a lot of 433 for the reason you mention

Do people not realise in a 4-3-3 you can have a number 10?

When Chelsea played 4-3-3 with my favourite 3 man midfield Makelele Essein Lampard, Lampard was effectively a number 10. Same with Gerrard when he played alongside Mascherano and Alonso.
