I cant understand that. A model professional like him?
Yeah, he's not going to go for that.

Basically Benitez's way of humbling the lad and telling him he aint the big star at the club anymore.

Sure I saw him and Benitez greeting each other at the start of the vid, look friendly enough, but only back of the head shots now of James - clearly edited under orders, when previously we couldn't get a camera under his nose quick enough.
He's clearly persona non Grata under Benitez - were still trying to shift him it would seem.
Makes no sense to me - I Really don't get why we can't use him, even off the bench, and also show him properly in training - he's still one of the biggest names in the world game - it's farcial really.
Sure we will hear more horsedung out of Benitezs mouth tomorrow - wonder what excuse he will give for no James in the squad vs Brighton?!
It's financially irresponsible to have your highest earner coming off the bench. If he's not fit for Rafael's play style, he needs to go on those wages.

If no one wants him in those wages, then that's the bed we've made for ourselves and not James fault - I really think he just wants to play footy.
Also, our "world class" manager should be able to find a way of playing with a skillful, exciting attacking player like James, in with the defensive minded ones around him.
As much as I dislike Ancelotti, he managed to find a way to play with James that was effective and exciting during the early part of last season - the injuries and piss weak squad scuppered that tho, plus Ancelotti checking out on us much earlier than reported, when real flashed their drawers at him.

I got the same vibe too, I was thinking to myself "Did they tell the video editor to specifically remove any sight of him"
Always said not bothered if he went, but he's our best player and it's shocking the way he's seemingly being treated, can't believe we won't even play him
So putting him all over billboards around the world to raise our profile was a big waste of time then.
We probably promised him the world to get him here and now we're dropping him like a bad habit.
How can fans be up in arms over players and their lack of loyalty when clubs at times are just as bad.

Don’t mind RB putting him in the doghouse. Kean either. Show him he’s not bigger than the club, no one is.
Both of them should realize they’re not getting any other takers so they’d better get on with it here, and he’s not having any diva crap
That’s good. Carlo indulged the big names.
