Doesnt change the fact James has had pretty bad attitude past 2 seasons with them.


I'll link you what two Real fans say in XT about him:

Being benched all those years and performing almost every time he is called upon and given a chance is a sign of great attitude to me. He has every right to be pissed and should leave Madrid. Fans who hate him for that are retarded. What do they expect? that he would be okay?

He has been acting like a spoiled brat since he was signed, how is that ok? Yeah he performs when used mostly, too much quality, but you shouldnt feel entitled to start, you work hard and earn it, Modric and Kroos are better, and he cant compete with the attack line. Heck off the bench even Kovacic, Asensio and Vazquez been better and more useful because of their better attitude and ethic, and Morata is GOAT backup and never complains. While James has had issues with partying, sulking under 3 coaches, chooses to make things about him and not the team in delicate moments (leaks to media he is thinking of future in middle of huge game?) and he latest speculation is telling his coach to fuck off?

Thanks. I'm not debating he isnt. Just asking for good sourcing.

I mean, lets not forget "fake news" or "post truth" (depending on what side you're on), was invented by mercato newspapers

From Spanish press.
Sure man. But we need to make sure we source stuff properly, cause its April, so the mercato gears are turning soon

1) Why would Juve want such a player, since its the polar opposite of what we demand ? Or perhaps, its the atmosphere at Madrid which created this persona.

2) If we buy James, it means we sold Dybala. I see no other way, you ?

He is on a whole different level of talent than Asensio, Morata and Kovacic, and has been benched for a much longer time too iirc. I would not hold anything against him for leaving if I were a Madrid fan. I am surprised he has not left already.

unless we are going to waste all the money from Dybala's sale on James, then we should definitely go for it.

Well he is 31...Body doesn't recover like it used to, and that is getting older for a midfielder, especially given his style of play.

I don't think it is impossible, but it is important to note he is 31 years old now. It's different if the player is 25.
Marchisio is needed asap.
Yeh... Marchisio from 2-3 years ago was beast. We need that cheesio back.

All of Dybala's money + 20 mil

.. I dont know... 20 mill doesnt buy shit nowadays.. but it would not be an unfair offer. My first preference is to keep the stability. I dont want to wait half a season again till Allegri finds the suitable formation once more. We have to build on what we have

Of course James has a bad attitude, he is a young player with huge talent rotting on the bench for reasons that are not his fault. He was a bad signing in terms of style, then Ancelotti figured out a way to make it work but he got sacked. Benitez and Zidane didn't make the slightest effort to fit James into their plans. How can he be happy?

You can see it when he plays for Colombia how happy he is to play, and how good he can be.

He would be huge here.

On the Marchisio thing, he tore his ACL. A relapse at this age would mean its over for him. Its good that they are taking it easy with the playing time. When he is fresh he is our midfielder by some distance, so its better to do things carefully. Just recently, his game against Porto was fantastic.
