2020/21 James Rodriguez

[Eggsyblueskin]

Benitez has already managed James.

Was this when he dropped him from the RM side ?
I don’t think it matters anyway ,as I’ve observed before I don’t think Everton ever really ‘touched’ him.

Thing is, we'll actively be happy to let him go which, I kind of get, but it's also just so annoying cause we have a DoF who thought £28m on Iwobi was a good idea.

We'll never get to see what could be done with genuine pace around him in midfield and another attacking option so that we weren't so reliant on him.

That's the frustration. And I don't think what we'll save on 120k wages when we have wasters like Gomes on 100k and Bernard on 100k+ too, is worth it for the season.

One thing we'll never know is how hes embedded into the squad and his attitude around the place.

Ultimately we're probably happy to let him go due to playing only 24 games, but whenever he gets injured he just seems to get jet off to colombia or whatever.

It's a shame we wont see him in person in blue, and we will miss some of his quality but generally i can't say im that arsed.

Good riddance. He was a fantastic player but that ultimately means nothing if he doesn't want to be here.

He made his bed when he couldn't be arsed turning up to the last home game for me.

Milan, talk of either £10-15m or part of a move for Leao

Any day of the week.

 

[irishtony1878]

That's a real stretch or mischaracterization of his situation with his NT. His beef is really with the coach rather than the side and is more from his part. Once he is fit there is little doubt he'll get called again and several teammates came out this week to try and calm the waters.

The Colombian offense has struggled this week and the prevailing opinion online is increasingly that Rueda had a bit of hubris giving James the tournament off to rest.

Really?
Didn't uncle Carlo give him enough rest last season?

Good, can't stand the little show pony

If Leao is part of the transaction, get it done

 

[PhilM]

Probably won’t ever get to see him play for Everton in person

Absolute pisser that

I think this is probably one of the most disappointing aspect about him potentially leaving.

 

[Del-boy]

Gutted to be honest. Few weeks back the club stated they had developed a training and recovery plan for him for pre season. Guess that meant he was planning on staying for at least another season. Looks like Carlo getting off has made his mind up for him.

Leao is quite frustrating acrually, inconsistent at most times. And he is frustrating playing in Serie A. Imagine how frustrating he will be in the PL.

 

[wainy]

Has the lad actually said he wants to leave? He only come for Carlo anyway, can’t say I’d be upset with him for leaving. He is beautiful and we are a pig.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Real shame if he goes. Prob most talented player we’ve had since god knows.

his disappearing act during second half of season was a distance. Tired ffs. Have a word with yourself

 

[billyblue80]

One of the best players to ever pull on our shirt and most of us will never see him play for us in the flesh. Everton that

 

[Davideeyore]

Funny how agents can negotiate a player moving to another club. Here's me thinking he was contracted to Everton to another season.

Let’s hope the club refund all the shirts with his name on them that have already been purchased ready for next season.

probably just offer a swap for a Delph one as there’s loads of them unsold..
