James Rodriguez

[IrishBlue2022]

Being in constant pain from his frequent injuries could of dashed his enthusiasm to get on the pitch , exceptional on the pitch but he was a luxury player who was only going to be fit 15 games a season. It was also evident rafael despised James and was factor in his departure

He made 26 appearances for us.

Ohh come on he was rinsing us dry with the big wage he was on. Sure he had great moments but they were too fleeting and even at the end of Ancelotti's reign he was giving off I can't be arsed vibes towards playing for us

Lies. He was genuinely injured. Plus he bypassed that summer's Copa America to get back to fitness which he did but unfortunately Carlo went back to Madrid and Rafael came in

Pure class which I probably haven't seen since Lineker, granted totally different players but pure class nonetheless.

Netflix avoids an airbrush of his time at ‘Eberton’ albeit for a few minutes only but he at least also manages to expose the horror merchant Benitez in his self-indulgent decision to move him on. Interesting that James flipped out on his first day in England before signing and wanted to leave before Ancelotti sorted it. Bloody hell the touch, the vision, the goals, the assist for Richy in Mordor, the bloody calf injury, the friggin mental decision to hire that clown Beneathus and how he never kicked ball in front of Evertonians. Agonising. Technically the best player for half a century. The extraordinary ability. The fleeting moments in life. Colombia’s best football player ever easily.

Phower!

Great player, the biggest crime was the year he played for us no one could go and see him live.

Genuinely think if fans had been there he would have bonded with the club more.

Benitez got away with murder here.

He certainly is/was a Beautiful player, But it's another generational call. Valderrama had the biggest impact on the game in Columbia and he was class. And he also had the greatest head of hair going.

The Everton manager and board sold James Rodriguez by choice - just let that sink in for a moment.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I agree that James wasn't strong enough for the PL but he was never the same after VVD clattered him . However,St.Virgil got his just desserts a little later from Pickford. Both tackles could easily have been red cards

VD clattered into Pickford.

Bit like Greallsh then but even more talented. I like having the occasional luxury player instead of a team of Kevin Kilbanes

Thank you. Theres only a handful of players on the planet at any given time who just seem to have more time and space than everyone else around him, and he was one of them.

This is one older player In could get behind us re-signing. Moyes would probably play James as a holding midfielder ffs!

Pure class, playing footy in show motion, another level to what is around him, make the team and other players around him better - just different gravy.

One player I will watch at the wc, along with the Georgian lad, kravathingy.

Surely people look at his career since leaving us and can see why we made the decision to move him on?

Just Wikipedia on him.
34 years old and onto his 13th club....
