Tommo220 Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 "Don Balon" article James Rodriguez has 'new girlfriend': "40 million and the Premier" New suitor for the Colombian The Colombian James Rodríguez has long been ringing to leave Real Madrid . This summer endured the screen without penalty or glory due to the lack of signings in the spinal by Florentino Pérez, but it seems that this will not happen next season where everything indicates that Fabian Ruiz and possibly Paul Pogba will arrive to have new commanders in the center of the Real Madrid field . The midfielder this season began counting for Zinedine Zidane, but despite the fact that his level was the highest in the squad, it did not seem at any time that the French coach was going to give continuity in the starting eleven. The defeat in Mallorca practically sentenced him and then his dubious injuries have caused him to be more outside than inside and could even go out in the winter market. However, it seems that Florentino Pérez has a plan to place James Rodriguez next summer for 40 million euros. Leicester City wants to continue living the English dream and extend it as much as possible, and if it manages to qualify for the Champions League next season it will go for James Rodriguez , something that for the moment is well on its way to being 10 points above with 13 days played. The English have the team cleaned up after the sales of recent years and it seems that they would be willing to pay the 40 million euros that Florentino Pérez wants to get rid of the talented Colombian midfielder, who has been at a lower level for several years than he was supposed to and it seems that its downhill begins to be seen. What a time to be alive and supporting City! Now "Don Balon" might be the Spanish equivalent to Football Rumours for all i know - but i'm not letting something like the truth get in the way of a good story. 2
The whole world smiles Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 Now this is the type of name I want to see at the top of the transfer forum. But yes no chance in hell! 1
Stadt Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 Wouldn’t want him tbh which shows you how far we’ve come 4
The whole world smiles Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 Can't imagine his 350k a week wages would go down brilliantly with the rest of the squad. 1 1
mancunianfox Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 Everton love a signing like this. Let's not be like Everton.

If his head and heart were in the right place he'd be sensational. He's not exactly all action, sprint round the pitch, blood and guts for ninety minutes. But we're probably kidding ourselves it we think YT is either. His technical ability would be beyond anyone else at the club. His wages would be eye watering though.
Haywood_6 Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 It's true, just seen him in Asda in Oadby 3
foxy boxing Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 he'd soon get sick of fans calling him James instead of James ( pronounced Hames ) 1

We’re where we are because we sign players that want to be here.

mancunianfox Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 Players who leave one of the 'mega' clubs rarely do much anywhere else, I think once the mentality of your career being on a downward trajectory kicks in it is hard to stop the slide. He is a very good player but would he be a good player for us? I am not sure. I don't know if his heart would be in it and I think it is more realistic that it would just upset the squad. It would be amazing to see us attract such a star name but other Premier League teams have been caught doing with this and it hasn't worked out very often. 2

If there were even an ounce of truth to it, it depends on the player and what their personality is like i suppose. realistically, he's not going to be short for a few quid so it depends on how important regaining the heady heights of his earlier career are for him. If he wanted to come in as a champagne Charlie - then PASS, if he wants to come in and regain his earlier form and start tearing up the Premier League, then its all gravy for me.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 I don't want anyone that can't pronounce their name properly. Ham-ezz my arse. 1

We are a TEAM working together like a pack of wolves. James is a lone wolf and no amount of individual brilliance can make up for the effect accommodating a player like that in a free role messes up the team. Also, we'd have to drop JM or YT for him to be effective, no thanks. For the record I wouldn't have 'RM26' back either as he is in the James mould.
Desabafar Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 I'd worry for our recruitment strategy if we genuinely wanted him. It's a West Ham signing on steroids 1

Schmeichel, Drinkwater & Simpson have all won the premier league since leaving your fair city! 1
nlukka Posted 28 November 2019 Posted 28 November 2019 I mis-read this and thought we were bidding £40m for Jay Rodriguez. Not quite the same proposition...
