2021/22 James Rodriguez

[Barnfred 55]

Yep. I just wish we were not airing our dirty washing out in the open though.

I said I'm done in here for the day but just this one.

Didn't the club do exactly the same thing. It was plastered everywhere that he wasn't part of the managers plans and been told to find a new club.

It shouldn't be one rule for one and different for another.

 

[blue to the bone]

Imagine believing everything you read.

Imagine been on an Internet forum where 90 per cent of what is discussed is based on rumours and moaning about it .

 

[Barnfred 55]

We played Manchester Utd less than a fortnight ago.

He started the game.

Sorry. My bad.Need to get my facts straight if I post in here.

Hasn't been part of the squad for 13 days.

I said it's the only place where it is getting any traction. Most of the places I go on have been like "OK, whatever" about it.

Those links are just copying and pasting the original source in the main, a source that is not really a valid one anyway. Until I see any actual evidence of him saying it then It's merely worth a shrug of the shoulders.

That's not to say he hasn't said it either but I am not ready to to start calling him all sorts because some tickless twitter account said he said it.

What point are you trying to make by continually saying only people on this forum seem bothered?

I mean, you're wrong but I'm more interested in what relevance it would have even if you was correct.

Initially you said it wasn't worthy of being reported elsewhere, I've since demonstrated it's reported in mainstream media. The first I heard of 'the story' was a news aggregator as a top story from the Daily Mail...

Social media is flooded with it.

The articles I've linked have active comment sections which have plenty of comment.

What do you define as traction? Can you link these other cool places that don't care which are like "Ok, whatever"?

I don't even know your argument anymore. I don't even think you do?

1 . "It's a nothing story - nowhere else is reporting it"
2. "Yes they are, see here, here, here and here"
3. "Er, they don't count. I don't believe them"

?

Here is my rant about James

I am so disappointed on this dude. I felt like he always got an exaggerated bad rep, even if there was some truth to it. The good old he doesn’t run, he is a diva, he is a luxury player, etc. I always felt that while there was some truth to it, it was good old stereotypes because the dude performed on the field

but this last year has been a horror movie for this dude. He takes the last few weeks of the season off thinking about Colombia and Copa America and I thought that when he got sent home packing, he would wake up. He would go train and prove people wrong

instead he spent the summer working his social media. He met with celebrities and was traveling in the u.s posting pics everywhere.

Dude just doesn’t get it. You are not interesting. You are not cool. You are not a good talker. Nobody cares about your opinions in anything. You are famous because you can be good at football when your arse is up to it. Once that stops, your fan base will disappear. You will get old and the girls will find some other good looking celebrity to drool about. Get your [Poor language removed] together or just retire so we can all move on with our lives both as an Everton and Colombia fan

relax not all club supporter feels that hate you are feeling right now... don't generalized that everyone will have same level of hatred as you! google something about emotional intelligence (EQ) might help.

I dont hate James. I think he;s a good player. I just wont support anyone who is ripping the piss out of Everton and laughing all the way to the bank as he does it.

Maybe you could work on yourself - stop your obsessive identification (O.I.) with a complete stranger.

The New Everton Way

Laughing at this.

When Roberto reopened the School of Science you were plotting to oust him to reinstall hoofball back.

He reopened it for one season, which we all enjoyed

then he reverted to try and turn Tom Cleverly into Xavi, stated goals from set pieces aren’t real goals and ripped the heart out of the club

Nobody wanted hoofball at all, that’s a bigger lie than anything El Coco ever said

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

I don't think Lukaku should be classed in the same category as James and Eto'o when it comes to rifts

Maybe not rifts as such but he was very vocal about leaving Everton to play in the Champions League.

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

The boss said no. So I will not say more.

Quote right too. Stick to the topics.

Conversely, he's had a number of rugs pulled out from under him in the last year, his head's all over the place and he has maybe made some bad decisions or said some silly stuff.

He joined us purely for Carlo. Carlo has since done one, back to the club he has to be fairly certain wouldn't have him back. He probably saw moving to us, under Carlo, as a roll of the dice for him to get his career back on track.

As you say, he took a gamble on swerving us in favour of getting fit for Colombia. Didn't pay off in what seemed like a surprise, to him at least.

Our new manager has form for not rating him and seems to have told him to get on his bike.

If James has been an idiot, fair enough, but I don't think any of it has been out of pure malice. I also don't think the club has done much wrong. We want him out, and he wants gone. We (the fans) are better off just tuning the nonsense out and waiting for the pictures of him holding up some other scarf. Obviously we'll have to ride the one, final blow-up in this thread when he gives his scathing interview about us afterwards...

Sadly James loves his boats n hoes as much as George Green does.

James Rodriguez: here's what he means to me -

- Scored a cracker goal in the world cup 7 years ago
- Played a great first time through ball for Richarlison to slot home in the derby

...that's it.

Best of luck at your new club.

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

James gets along with the squad

Loads of the squad get on with eachother ..... Mirallas got on with Schneiderlein. Doesn't mean it's a positive thing for the team.

Rodriguez does look to be an affable bloke definitely.

Not really too bothered about that, I want players who demand the best from eachother...... Not turn up to happyfarm for a nice cuddly 5 a side before playing 18 holes.

 

[allen]

It’s very hard to figure out exactly what Benitez is trying to say at his press conferences, but it seemed from that one that he isn’t going to consider playing James until the transfer window closes.

Then he will either be in his plans or gone.
