Does Rodriguez Leave This Summer?

He isn't allowed to just 'stay in Colombia'. If he plays for us, he plays for us.

The most likely thing is he leaves on a free, which would be gutting.

It’s Everton we’re the softest club on the planet. What James wants to do he will do

I think James is an astonishing footballer. Quite possibly the most purely talented footballer we've had since the 80s. I'm dead set on him staying if his attitude is right.

But I'm facing reality; he was here solely because of Ancelotti. He's not going to stay. He didn't sign to play for Eddie Howe in a club of basketcases.

Okay mate, fair enough.

I agree with you, it's unlikely he stays, wasn't trying to come across as a prat, just p**** off with it all.

I hope he'd like to stay but realistically, barring a miracle with the new manager, it ain't happening. Just don't actively want him to be moved on!

He left already to the tune of a John Denver classic...

Like I said in another thread, James will not like working under a manager who'll not allow him to cherry-pick and sit out games as and when he pleases. I'm guessing he'll be expected to muck in and play some part in all our fixtures. He's not staying at Everton... in my opinion.

He checked out a long time ago. Clearly a brilliant player, but an unreliable luxury we’re not in a position to indulge.

 

[fandjango]

I don’t care where he goes he’s a glass back

 

[EFCccc]

I don’t see any scenario we’re he stays now. He was only ever here for Carlo.

 

[Billy Dean]

Hope he stays but don’t think he will. Unless we get Simeone.

 

[Runub]

He doesn’t need to leave.....he just won’t come back lol

 

[GlosBlue]

Where's the 'who cares' option?

Or the 'has the season off with fatigue' option?

 

[Billy Dean]

He isn't allowed to just 'stay in Colombia'. If he plays for us, he plays for us.

The most likely thing is he leaves on a free, which would be gutting.

Should be able to get a fee for him no? Year left on contract

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

He will and I'm past the point of giving a flying one, just get us players and manager that's actually arsed and I'll be happy, no more mercenaries

 

[toffee-L]

Yep he's not coming back here, which is the worst part about today for me. Carlo I'm not too fussed about but watching James was about the only good thing this season brought so the likely reality that I won't be able to see him play for Everton anymore is a very upsetting one.

I think there will be major change at Everton this summer.

I want him to stay but I can't see it.

Always felt like he was here because of Ancelotti. I was okay with that because of his quality and the idea he'd attract other players here.
