2020/21 James Rodriguez

Instatok isn't for me, just a bunch of rich celebs flaunting their wealth and showing their boring posed private life. Don't both with it personally, I'd rather read a newspaper which is made out of a paper. A rarity these days!

James posts something on Instagram.

GET OUT OF MY CLUB, WE HAVE NOT BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 100 YEARS FOR THIS.

He's been fit to play at times this season but decided against playing.

'fatigue' 'felt a twinge warming up' 'his focus now is on Copa America' etc

As brilliant as he is when he plays, I'm not sure the manager and fans can universally condemn player attitude being a huge issue and then give our highest earner a free pass.

He is lying down so he must be resting.

Norwegian Blue?

I think the players will give him a free pass IF he scores and assists more than he did this year. Otherwise they'll also lose interest in him and he'll be isolated. I'm sure Carlo and James know this, but if we've also bought him for the marketing, we're not doing a fantastic job in promoting his time with us yet. After hte big reveal in Colombia and Miami, I think we could have done more to promote him here, but then again he's not played enough! next year will be better i'm sure, and i wont be surprised if there's a mutual deal between him and Carlo that they 'look after each other'. He contributes to Everton, and Carlo looks after his fitness and his workload.

One of our Colombian buddies said when we signed him that hes both loved and hated, which sounds about right for a superstar footballer.

Beckham was Englands so called hero but half the country thought he was an absolute donut, same for Rooney. The bigger you are the more haters you get, I imagine this is the same in Colombia... especially when the national team is in bad form.

I don’t think many fans disliked Rooney as a footballer, because he was top notch on the field for Everton , first time round, and Man. Unt, after that his legs had gone, same as James after that World Cup when he came into prominence, I think he likes the good life more than football, and football has paid for that good life in the many years since that World Cup.I hope he doesn’t come back here, he’s taking the pxss out of the club and many fans, but some fans don’t mind him taking the pxss out them it seems.

Its definitely not an idea situation but we must way up the pros and cons of having him here and then make a decision.
I don't think his footballing ability was the only reason we signed him, im sure broadening the Everton brand globally was also in thinking which for sure helps when you have someone like James playing for you.
Yes he's mercenary but one that might be profitable in the bigger picture.

Perhaps it would of been a little bit more sensible being at the game today supporting his current teammates and flying tomorrow

Perhaps, but the ammount of wailing we're having to suffer today from people who are supposedly NOT virgins getting annoyed by a footballing millionaire makes the internet a dull place today.

 

[MarkHollis]

Player of the season imo

 

[Bkk Andy]

He is not wearing an Everton shirt ever again Connor.

He is. He needs to keep reasonably fit for the world cup

 

[Fansince1988]

Player of the season imo

yes Probably if the season is 10 games long, I suppose player of the season would have to go to DCL for his goal return, but Imo signing of the season has been Godfrey he’s going to be a great player for us.

 

[Lob]

If there was ever an image that completely summed up Everton than that would be it. Says everything you need to know about the club and i bet that none of the hierarchy even batted an eyelid. It is who we are now.

 

[JMT]

He is not wearing an Everton shirt ever again Connor.

look forward to visiting this again next season.

 

[nikom court]

hes done well in patches but hes so easy to play against,
jj shelvey and jeff hendrick just booted him off the pitch and then he cba!
the timing of his private jet selfie is crazy didnt he realise his team mates are going into arguably the biggest game of the season or maybe he just doesnt care,its all for his colombian followers.
i partly blame carlo,he should have told him hes staying with the squad until after the city game,whether or not he can be bothered playing!

 

[anton66]

I think we need a full explanation by the club on this abandonment of duty. This picture shows utter contempt for the Everton supporters. He may be a good footballer but his commitment stinks.

I can believe it Mick but I think he comes back

Up the Chemics if he goes
