    Napoli focuses on projects and gives the manager lots of room to make calls on players and gives them what they need to succeed rather than a managerial roller coaster. Not learning from his mistakes would be going to a project that doesn't fit him at all simply because it is in the city where he feels most comfortable, which is his draw to Atletico. He chose Madrid longer then he should of because of romantic reasons of the club and the city because of his family, and from a soccer standpoint it was a mistake. Napoli is the correct soccer decision, Atletico is obviously not but they're in the picture for the same reason he overstayed at Real, because it's Madrid.

    Highly recomended this article:

    Igual, James decidió que se iba. El argumento fue el mismo por el que se fue de Madrid: necesita más minutos y no se siente valorado por Niko Kovac. Esta vez, sin embargo, el supuesto es frágil. Es verdad que jugó poco, pero fue así por la racha desafortunada de lesiones que lo acompañaron durante toda la temporada, de principio a fin. Primero fue el gemelo, luego el tobillo, después la rodilla, finalmente el aductor y otra vez gemelo: en total fueron más de 100 en días en los que no estuvo disponible para jugar y aunque Kovac nunca tuvo grandes gestos de cariño con él, sí le dio minutos importantes en partidos cruciales. Minutos en los que, por la razón que fuere, James no marcó diferencias.

    Al final, para exigir hay que demostrar y James, mejor, optó por salir corriendo a otro equipo en donde “sí lo quieran”. Como si en Juventus, Arsenal, Liverpool o cualquier otro de los enemil equipos que han sonado no tuviera que llegar a competir a muerte por un puesto. En Napoli quizá, con la salida de Hamsik y la presencia de Ancelotti, la tenga más fácil para jugar. Pero, sin restarle mérito a nadie, una cosa es el Bayern y otra cosa (más chiquita) es el Napoli.

    Que la temporada anterior haya sido difícil, no significaba que la siguiente tendría que ser igual. Para jugar en los más grandes entre los grandes hay que saber lidiar con la presión de competir a diario por un puesto, pues, después de la calidad, ese es el primer filtro para estar ahí.

    I don't like this move. The explosion of James with Simeone will be a matter of time. Simeone doesn't like the type of players like James. Too bad Napoli couldn't arrange the money for him.

    He's really risking pissing away the peak years of his career making risky club decisions.

    Meh

    I dont think he will have problems. Simeone is a tough coach but he is also a smart coach. He will demand a lot of James but he will also know how to get more out of James, not just demand it.

    James already runs a lot and simeone will keep pushing him to be a more complete player.

    My major concern at club level for James continues to be his injuries

    Simeone isnt having patience with new players recently...especially if they dont have tactic vocation....lemar, gaitan, cerci, vitolo.....without naming the forwards.

    saul and koke the ones that have played with simeone for years always get the spot....

    None of them are the caliber of James... also, knowing James' history, I'd like to think he wouldn't ask for him if he had no plans for him

    James "caliber" isnt guarantee anymore James have been benched by players that are not his caliber.......

    Simeone have asked a lot of players that after months have no patitence with them...for example he isnt happy with arias

    I want to be optimistic.....but with other similar coaches like simeone like ranieri and kovac...james havent been good.

    I never imagined that after the World Cup in 2014 this would be his status in what should supposed to be the pick of his career. I expected much more from him.

    He has played in Real Madrid and Bayern Munich after the WC and now Juve is interested in him. That's hardly a bad career concidering his attitude problems and long list of injuries.

    Yeah but his career is far from over. Let's not get pessimistic here.

    not sure personally, part of me thinks he could be valued more with all the guys who have left.

    A bunch of reports that he has an agreement with Atletico. Hope he knows what he's doing.
