What actually happened to this guy? Last season people were talking about Ballon d'or material, and now he's ready to be shipped out again. Just a matter of wrong coaches and tactics for him?

He's an amazing player and (was) one of my favourite ones to watch. Don't know what happened. Hopefully he can get away from that shithole and come here after a couple of years to replace Iniesta. On form, his passes are ridiculous and the goals he can score with that left foot, madre mia. Few, if any, come close to him.

Wonderful player, but you get the impression he's a bit high maintenance ?

No doubt, but if he's that, then what is Neymar Jr & Sr? Put James into this dressing room and he would flourish like never before. Might even get that cute smile back on his face. The dressing room in Madrid is just poison for emotional players like James.

RM will include Anti-Barca clause for sure man.
And as talented as he is ,his defense and workrate isn't that good on the pitch

BTW read that his contract was leaked ,anyone has an English version of it?

I'm too lazy to search for it now. Basically 75 M , 3 yearly installments of 25 M. 5 M if he wins the Bdor and like 3 or 5 if he is nomimated for final 3 Bdor. 1 M for every year that Real Madrid qualifies for the CL. So unless the impossible happens, James will cost a maximum of 80 M.
Rumors that we are listening to offers off 75 M and higher from EPL clubs.
He sold the shirts,he is 2nd in shirt sales after Ronaldo. He was bought because of the WC hype and now he isn't playing as well. His first season was amazing but now he just doesn't fit into the system and Zidane plans. If Zidane stays James is as good as gone. Either him or Kroos. Since it's the Euro this summer, I'm predicting that our ban is lifted and James or/and Kroos are sold. The flavor of the month from Euro is bought,most likely Pogba. The good thing is that Zidane is the most similar to Mourinho,in terms that he'll actually have a say in the transfers. That's noticable because ZZ has the balls and authority to bench both James and Isco and play the cheaply bought unpopular Casemiro in El Clasico.

Rumors are in full swing because of the managers flying over to the EPL and the disruption to Real Madrid's season with hiring/firing Rafa.

James has a good place in Real Madrid and it is in the place of Cristiano, who really needs to GET THE FUCK OUT.

Zidane would be very smart to move away from the 4 3 3 because it is horrible, and keep the 4 4 2. It worked for Carlo, it worked for Zidane in the Classico and it will work in the future.


James Benzema
Modric Casemiro Kroos Bale
Marcelo Ramos Pepe Carvajal
Keylor

If James is playing piss poor, move Bale up and play Lucas. Jese fits in for Benz. Isco fits in for Modric. Casemiro and Kovacic take turns. The loaned out players can come back and fit right in, especially Asensio.

He also has the option of removing a full back and playing with all 3 CBs at the back:

James Benzema Bale
Marcelo Modric Casemiro Kroos
Pepe Varane Ramos
where Casemiro drops in between the defenders for a back of 4 and Benzema Bale James all track back.

James to take Ronaldos spot, maybe. He doesnt belong in midfield, we know that, so perhaps further up. But he is to injury-prone to be Ronaldos replacement imo, and his consistensy is sketchy, to say to least.

He is an amphibian. He can play in midfield but just because he can he really should not. He is most devastating near the goal, so he should stay there.

This is just sad, I hope he leaves and gets his groove back
