2021/22 James Rodriguez

Be some atmosphere when he comes off the bench on Monday and gets the winner . Ideal game for his return

At the moment, his agent is currently busy negotiating his weekly wage incease.

As it stands he`s on 250K a week and his agent is holding out for another weekly rise of 50k.

The club are currently doing an inventory, of how many staff still have healthy kidneys left to sell, before they agree to his demands.

It sounds like a reasonable plan. If we want to have superstar players we need to pay the price.?

And you can determine when he was doing that in games can you?

FFS, the lengths some will go to in order to defend a refusenik like this feller.

I know the facts are hard to deal with, Dave, I don't like it either but the reality is that he single-handedly carried us through large parts of last year.

This is clearly hyperbole

He missed large parts of the season for a start.

The views on this player are way too entrenched on both sides of this tedious debate. We have a supremely talented player with questionable commitment and longstanding injury problems. We have a manager who doesn't rate him and might well be stubborn in refusing to select him. Having James this season is fine, but it was never make or break either way. I genuinely didn't care whether he stayed or not, just like lots of other Everton players. Whether we kept him or not will have virtually no impact on where we finish this season.

And Benitez's acolytes will come out and say it was Benitez's game plan all along to ostracize James to get him to up his game.

Worst goad of the day...some achievement on here.

Or people actually only care about whether we see a competitive winning team and aren't particularly interested in individuals.

You wouldn't think that considering the creaming of kecks over Benitez.

Primed to do an oumar on Monday, come on when we’re a goal down and turn the game around in spite of the fat meff on the touchline

It's over the top for both manager and player. Lots of entrenched views not based on reality.

Attend the last home game of last season to meet the fans.

He refused to take @davek's calls so he could call him a charlatan.

Ilm not goading. I'm holding a mirror up to the posters who would attack their own club to support an errant footballer taking the piss out of it.
