2021/22 James Rodriguez

[davek]

Just like he was a cash cow for us when we were lauding him all over social media when he signed it cuts both ways. He has raised the profile of the club. If he goes and the money is reinvested well I am non plussed you talk like he never put a shirt on last season and made any telling contribution which is bullshit. At least he doesn’t kiss the badge.

Everton Football Club dont need any player to raise its profile mate. We're not 'kin Bournemouth or some other no mark club.

FSW's behaviour made him say that mate, don't be so naive

I dont deal in conspiracy theory.

Just fachts.

Facts: James is our best player. And should have stayed.

Benitez is a fraud.

Here's your facts.

He is quality no doubt. Think he's great. Love him to stay.

Doesn't know how to even spell Everton.

I hope Benjamin continues to fraud his way to trophies with Év. Just like his fraudulent career.

Mate why are you so desperate that he stays?

He has quality, of course, but you have to admit that there were quite considerable drawbacks to his overall contribution last season? particularly after Christmas.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Yes but we aren't using our highest earner as a impact sub he either has to start or be sold.

In which case then yeah we have to sell him really.

Well, was there?

He scored three brilliant goals in that run even though he was injured a lot. Goals which should have resulted in wins if not for individual errors from other players in two of those games too.

Now, he wasn't fit enough, but we knew he couldn't stay fit yet Ancelotti came up with no other way of playing. That isn't on James, is it?

If he stays, it would be fantastic because we'd have a world class player and not many sides have that. But if he goes, it may allow us to get other players in. That latter point, however, sums up how crap the club have been run that that's the case. The players we need in are players we've needed in for 2-3 years.

Cuz we didn't even give him a chance this season. Benitez clearly stated he does not rate him and want him at Finch Farm. That ruined everything, his motivation, his preparations etc. Completely ridiculous. The Board should have instructed FSW that James is staying UNLESS he wants out. (he now does, but comes after his Benitez feud)

I wouldn't be arsed if we got a genuine replacement or someone who plays the same role as James but we won't will we.

I don't want a manager here who is hamstrung by the board interfering.

I want a manager who is decisive and knows what his game plan is.

Everton fans are strange.

"don't let the board pick players/managers"

"The board should tell Benitez to keep players"

The above aren't verbatim quotes, but you get my drift.

Just give this one a go. 1 played, 1 won.

Shoo those little black rain clouds away and enjoy yourself.

If the manager is incompetent, you need the Board intervening every now and then

Everton Football Club has been around long before James got here and will be around long long after he has gone, hence no player will ever be bigger than the club, regardless of their social media status.
Some on here need to get a grip.

Who said otherwise? No one's said we should have begged him, instead we are talking about Benitez's idiotic man management.

we could do with it internationally though

Because - and this is just a theory - maybe Benitez doesn't require that profile of player for his team? Just a thought like.
