2020/21 James Rodriguez

[blulouie]

It's not worth the time. A Madrid fan site citing "sources" close (not to James or Everton or Atletico)... to Madrid that James is unhappy. Just drivel.

He'll be frustrated that he hasn't been able to show his best football since the fall as anyone would be. It's been clear in all his comments (and his choice to join Everton) that he is eager to flip this with Carlo. Its all about that project to him and he'll be the first frustrated that they haven't been able to replicate what they were doing in the fall in recent weeks.

Carlo knows how to get the best from him and we'll be seeing it back soon as he gets fit.

I know mate , its bullshine.

Got this from the BBC, no idea if it’s reliable:


Everton's Colombia attacker James Rodriguez, 29, is considering leaving the club despite only moving to Goodison Park last summer. (Defensa Central - in Spanish)

not saying it’s true but you couldn’t blame him I guess. 29 and only has 3-4 years left. Bare in mind the last time he played in a team that can’t string 3 passes together was probably when he was playing for his schools U8’s team.

We’re not the level he’s used too Looks sad

 

[gonetomorrow]

He needs to stir his stumps.

 

[mawders]

Will de a different proposition when Allan is back and he and DCL are fully fit. But he needs to stay higher up the pitch

It was nice while it lasted, although I did expect more and assumed the league would be sewn up by now but gracias Hamez.

 

[Fansince1988]

I hope I’m wrong but right player at the wrong time. I just hope when we have the important injured players back we will improve and James will improve, Time will tell.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

They can't afford him even if there was anything to this made up rumour.

it's just the Spanish Press doing their wonky half-assed made-up Echo-like thing.

While Ancelotti is here he will be here.

 

[Brisan123]

He has gone downhill since the bad weather set in, but I wouldn’t imagine he would want to give up on the PL that quick as I’d have thought that would make him look a failure in the top league in the world. Let’s hope spring brings out the best in him again. Weather has though been dire this season, I’m use to is and I hate it.

I am sure the weather in Munich was cold in the winter

 

[Terrarian]

It's quite sad an a bad look for football when players of this quality are unappreciated and people who run more are preferred.

Not for me, He plays football the way it should be played, forwards and looking for chances to create. You have the Walcotts and Lennons of the world who are fast but get about 1 assist a season.

Honestly, it is Carlo's job to get the best out of this incredibly gifted footballer. It's our job to make him look the part, I'm 100% sure he wouldn't have signed on if he knew we would be playing this way. Injuries are clearing up and we need to find a way to attack better.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Did i write he was anywhere near the player kdb is? No. So clearly im not saying it.

Clearly not saying it, maybe not, definitely insinuating it I’d say.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

I hope he stays another season, which I think he will. But ancelotti in the summer and this should be possible with the extra time this summer.
He needs to build the system he wants and basically stick to it 95% of the time. All teams get injuries, but when we get one or two, Carlo tends to shift about 5 positions.

With hopefully a new GK,RB another midfielder and at least one new attacking player. Maybe two depending on sales.

When we do then get a couple of injuries he can just drop a player straight in, to fit the system.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

How we play currently doesn't suit him. He's always more effective whenever we're on the front foot and our passing actually happens to be half decent at the time. You only have to look back to earlier in the season to see the difference.

Simply put - he needs better footballers on a similar wavelength around him.

 

[Bullens Rd]

I've known all along he'll be off in the summer. As soon as we did a half-arsed recruitment job last summer it was clear to me we wouldn't have anywhere near the squad needed to get Europe, and James won't stick around at some crap 10th place side, which is what we'll prove to be end of the season. Signed for free, sold for free.
