2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Joey66]

You said from past managers and DoFs mate. We've only had one previous DoF.

Vlasic was let go too early but at least we've got a sell on clause.

He should have gone when Koeman was sacked ....both were useless.... Brands is faring not much better.....

Fabrizio Romano just confirmed on his twitch that AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are done with transfers for this window.
I am a fan of James and feel he still has fair to offer to our squad as he is only “genuine 10” currently in our squad.

Sandro, Davvy Klassen, Alex Iwobi, Moise Kean,

Two gone, Iwobi showing a bit of promise under a better Manager - Sandro I agree along with Tuson a waste of space .....

We have wasted a fortune on players plus they seem to be on long term contacts - it does coincide with the position of DOF .....appointment of this position - the other lot have a panel of five then the Manager chooses who he wants not a DOF ......

There's a reason we're trying to shift him to Porto - it's probably the only option we have.

But it'd be a mistake paying him to play for someone else.

West Ham finished 6th with what world class players?

We finished 4th under Moyes with who?

At some point the penny will drop with you why we can't get a sniff of Europe with all these classy players such as Rodriguez, Siggurddson, Gomes, Benard.

Your lofty ambitions just don't end, do they! It was only a few weeks bag the awful whiff of your mind was polluting these pages with support for Dyche as our next manager

Sadly I can't see the penny ever dropping for you as is apparent through the consistent problems within the content of your posts. The only way I can see these errors ever being fixed is by a change of approach, topic, and author, then you'd make more sense.

Looks like he'll be staying in Crosby then

 

[malmic]

He has the wrong attitute, a spoilt....... Not good for the team

If it was upto you we would still have the likes of Silva as manager, a midfield of zero pace/power but tons of 40 yard hollywood passes and 500 sideways back passes that goes nowhere in order to win the passing/possession stats.

Benitez thankfully has made us a much more functional side than the guff of the last 6+ years that fans like yourself keep craving for.

There you go again.

Just in case you have forgotten we are in the James thread discussing how brilliant he is despite being on a million pounds a week.

Sideways back pass this https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/james-rodriguez.113270/post-9016335

Its a moot point as he will barely feature under Benitez and rightfully so.

He doesn't suit the system.

 

[Hogwild]

I think it has become pretty clear that his wages are closer to the 200k than the 90k. If they were 90 you would think we could have come to a split arrangement with someone....

Ancelotti has completely screwed us on this one really hasnt he?

 

[Bluestar]

I liked watching Rodriguez play. He has vision on skills that we haven’t seen at Goodison in a long long time. However I also know that he struggled with fitness so we could never really build a team around him.
I’m happy if we keep him, providing the manager is willing to use them.

What I don’t know is whether he will get used by Benitez.
If he goes and he is part of a deal to bring a player to the club that Benitez will actually use them I can support that.

He is a rare talent, but quit injury prone and unfit. Even the games he’s started for us he was often only able to complete 70mins. I think the term is an enigma.

 

[miff]

Imagine the crap this clown will come out with if he has to stay - get rid

 

[BNJ1878]

He is our best player, by an absolute mile.

Agree 100%

He's not our most important player ( I didn't say he was )

Also agree.

But if we can get him fit playing most games

Never, ever going to happen.

he'd improve us like no other player in our squad would, he's magical.

So this is a moot point.
