James Rodriguez

I'd fucking love this. It'd be up there with the disbelief of signing Carlo, Lukaku on a permanent and Samuel fuckin' Eto'o.

A few concerns like. He's just turned 29. But I tell myself that level of player and with the position he plays he can play at the same standard until 33/34. (à la David Silva)

I hope it comes off. It'll hopefully be the catalyst to us signing big names. Allan and James in one window? Yes please. Age is an issue but we do have to worry about the now as much as we do the future. Richarlison won't stick around if we continue to be mediocre. A couple of older experienced heads to drive us forward? Why not

I'll admit it now, I know fuck all about him, apart from the world cup, which was fucking years ago, what sort of player is he and what will be bring ?

[Alex6691]

Right. I've had a minute to think about it and it's not happening is it lads? Imagine this

James: 'So who will I be playing with Boss?'
Carlo: 'Gylfi Sigurdsson'
Carlo 'Hello? Hello James?'

Moshiri has given Ancelotti a ton of leverage, hasn’t he.

Pretty much a slick, creative type who sits behind the forwards and links the midfield to them very well. Great passer. My concern is what shape his legs are in considering he's 29 and plays a position which will require him to get around the pitch a bit. I believe he can play wing as well, though I've only seen him play centrally (mostly at Bayern).

He does appear to be in crazy good physical shape though, so who knows?

Be a weird window if we sign 3 midfielders over the age of 27.

I feel like he hasn't played in 2 years

Some mad touches there, but did they all take place about five years ago? 😁

He has, but you're not wrong like. I can't think of even seeing him on a pitch since the first half of Bayern's 2018/19 season.

I just double-checked, and he actually didn't miss too much time due to injury in the 2 years he spent with them (16 league games over 2 seasons), and he was quite effective: 14 goals, 15 assists in 43 league games. Did alright in the CL and Pokal games he played too.

This season at Madrid I can't remember seeing him at all though.
