So much better than Shakira's name on our frontpage. Mods please edit (since Hames is rustling some jimmies).
Despite me being initially against the transfer (because of the fee and his position) I can't but feel general excitement for the boy. He displayed the talent he has, now there's a much tougher job ahead of him and that's becoming one of the leading players on this team. I have no doubt he has the potential to succeed and have a wonderful career here. If Illaramendi is Petey, can he be Jimmy?
Still love you Alma, although you have had much better ones...I guess even Cristiano is permitted to miss the odd penalty That said, WELCOME JAMES! No idea where he'll play, but man the guy is a special talent. One of the few players that can get people off their seats just by being on the ball.
That's nice and all, but Alma didn't tell anyone to use his post in a different thread as a title. Alma loves you too! .... ? .... !
Now that he is here, I wish him nothing but success! Young, talented and marketable. Hopefully a cornerstone for years to come!
Well I wanted to start a thread as its official now and I don't have much creativity to come up with outstanding thread title, so waiting for the mods to change it and lets discuss all about him here under this thread . And me also love you Alma
Welcome Hames , hope you score tons against the fncking cules in way to becoming the top dog of the club .
Former No. 10's for Real Madrid: - Clarence Seedorf - Luis Figo - Robinho - Wesley Sneijder - Diarra - Mesut Ozil Now, James Rodriguez.
Less complaining about the thread title (especially since your complainy pants posts are strong indication your damned fingers aren't broke) and more Colombian lovefesting please!
AS Monaco: ''The Club had no intention to sell the player'' Florentino: AS Monaco on their website. ''AS Monaco is proud to be part of one of the most significant transfers in football history.''
Thread title fixed (SMH at Alma for the initial title). I haven't seen James play much for Monaco, saw him a lot for Porto. Talent is there, not sure how he fits but I trust Carlo and co. to figure it all out. Can't hate on signing a 22 year old with the world at his feet. Guy seems ecstatic to be here, not Pepe ecstatic mind you, but happy enough to give me a warm fuzzy inside. Welcome. Edit: spelling fixed. My bad. It's 545am here, my eyes are barely open.
you effer! it wasn't me!! LOL José Angel Sánchez has a few hours to get the boner down before the official presentation. The Bernabeu is going to be packed.
