2021/22 James Rodriguez

[COYBL25]

I've heard he's got a 2m caravan parked in the Park End car park and his electricity is rigged up to the main box office power supply.

It's an absolute travesty how he's managed to get away with it when he's on 265k per week and topping it up from EITC

He`s also got a couple of disabled parking bays outside it and a blue badge for his gold plated Bentley Jeep and his Ferrari.

We might even hit the magical 300k pw if he can just stick around until Saturday!

When James leaves the made up wage figures are gonna shift to Rondon, who’s now apparently gone up to £130k.

GET THIS POISON OUT OF MY CLUB!!!

He's infecting team morale with his poison and making a show of the players every day because he can actually trap and pass a ball. It's a disgrace!!!

Proper leach sucked us dry then jets off to the middle of the desert to play for United Arab Airlines twerk for money fc

Massive waste of talent who should have been one of the greats of the game but just wasn't interested in being a professional player

That's his basic wage mate. Appearance bonus means he's closer to 150k a week and because they didn't think he'd score many, they gave him a goal bonus of 100k a goal. So basically Rodriguez' 310k a week wages will be eaten up by Rondon.....I hope he doesn't score a brace or a hattrick as it might financially cripple us!!!!

The only figures I've seen reported for Rondon are 90k a week. But I have no idea if those reports are reliable.

RB did say last week he'd taken a wage cut to join us. But according to various reports, his wage in China was anywhere between 125k and 250k

Can't believe I'm quoting Ryan here but, you know, can we stop making stuff up about no managers liking James?

The £130k quote is from @Bungle, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. It's deffo bait.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

lol ffs are you suggesting Joyce, an experienced journalist who works for the Times, would fabricate a quote???

I'm not on about local journos being in a conspiracy theory. It's just the complete inconsistency in reporting makes it very hard to believe. And each time James has either been on the verge of a move or turned down a move, his wage has miraculously gone up.

Thats as much likely as the conspiracy theorists who believe Joyce & the rest of the media are purposely falsely reporting his wages under orders from the club in order to justify getting rid of James.

No one has said that no managers like James. Lots of us have just pointed out the obvious that Benitez doesn't rate him.

Is Thursday pay day at Finch Farm?

Unfortunately need a Telegraph sub to read Bascombe's article from Sept 2020.

aye, bloody Tories

also the same bloke who wrote this last October: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...riguez-superstar-14-turned-manchester-united/

'Man Utd were not the only club to dismiss the Colombian as a youngster, but he is proving them wrong now'

 

[NathDogg]

I'm putting you down as a "not bothered" if James stays or goes.

Althoight I would have been slightly gutted to have not seen James play for us, I genuinely wasn't that fussed if we got a replacement for him in during our window, as it's become that clear Benitez won't play him and tbh I don't think James can be arsed being here since Carlo left and the fsw rocked up.

I do think there should be a place for him in our squad, as he could offer genuine skill and something different to anything else we have.

I do find it incredulous that we are still looking to punt him out the club, when our window is shut and we have very limited options from the squad when the injuries hit.

Can't wait to see iwobi or rondon unable to control a ball passed 4 yards to them over the next few weeks, can you mate?

I mean it's been implied several times by several posters (though they may be WUMing)

He stole those parking bays from delph and gbamin. Caused issues in the training room as they struggle to walk across the car park.
