What stage of the grief cycle is this thread at now?

The festering white spots on the back of my throat are those who dismiss James. (joke ok)

Got to see him in Everton top be it a friendly at old Trafford.

It's at the "kids at school are laughing at me cos James had a 18 rating for passes on FIFA and It was the only bragging rights I had"

Hopefully the move to world football stage….

Same thing at the end of the day, yes?

I was responding to a post from Royalblue66 who said no club wanted him.

Anyone know the details of the deal? Knowing brands we probably paid his flights , gave them 5m , are covering all of his wages and paying for a néw paint job in their changing rooms

I support this proposition. Mods?

I think they're waiting for today's press conference to generate a whole new torrent of fume.

The traffic helps pay the bills.

You’ve solidly demonstrated you’re not one of these kids as FIFA ratings go up to 99

Spot on really..

Benitez on James exit​

"When you have a player that the situation we have that can be available for 50% of the games, it's not something we can manage easily."

It's not that that's the issue mate,he is spot on of course.

That being said, if we weren't so cash-strapped, we'd have been able to just keep him until Jan and use him in 50% of games to maximise him.

But we are financially knackered. And that's what fans should be angry about. Not directing their vitriol at the player, or even the manager.

I'm glad that became evident..... It's probably why I'm able to confidently say that I think him leaving is for the best b

I’d probably rather have a player available for 50% of the games who in those 50% where he’s available actually contributes something.

You’ve got the likes of Delph available for 5% of our games at a push, on a good wage and Benitez saying he’s quite happy to keep him for the season.

Equally you’ve got players like Gomes who might be available for 100% of our games, again on a good wage, but contributing very little.

We’ve too many well paid players contributing very little, who have been allowed to stay at the club. Would have preferred the club and Rafael to pull out all the stops to make clear to them they need to go and do everything possible to shift them.
