    It has to be cold right now right now right? He probably stepped out of the airport like, "...Nope."

    Because he keeps getting rewarded for his behavior.. Some people just keep falling upwards.. or at least sideways....

    will take 2 weeks to get match fit and their 1st game is 2/21. He will miss that game

    2nd game is 2/28. Maybe come in as a sub

    March Games 7/14/22

    then 2 weeks with the NT

    5 games in April (maybe misses the 1st because of NT on the 4th)

    5 games in May

    then WC break.... he might retire

    So whatever people say his salary might be too low or why didn't better teams give him a shot. He pretty much agreeing to play 1/3rd of a season and wanted top money to pretty much half ass 4 months to be able to go to the WC.

    He hates soccer and loves the Colombian national team, weird combination but he's truly a temperamental artist, he thinks differently which is why he's so good and off the field he's a turbo weirdo to all of us that doesn't make sense.

    Yeah I don’t get the issue. He once loved the attention he gained from being a star but lost interest after the heartbreak in Madrid. He plays well for the national team and that’s all that matters.

    It is a Novela.
    I always expect the unexpected and horrible plot lines when it comes to Novelas.
    Hopefully he gets in shape and plays his heart out in June.

    I think he loves football overall, but as you said, he slowly grew disenchanted from club football, to the point he doesn't really want to play pro, for any other reason than to be in shape for the NT.

    The saddest part, is that if he cared a little bit, there are plenty of clubs ready to give him plenty of love, and given his talent, he could carry more than a few of those teams to glory.

    he needs to play in Argentina that his play style would still work. They do not have James money. Would have been cool James at Boca and Quintero at River.

    hope he works out in MLS tho think he will retire after the World cup.

    He doesn't need money I posted before his wages from Real and Bayern are close to 70m that didn't include marketing he also received and endorsement he was in a lot of them after the WC.

    I would have liked him at Nacional but glad he didn't go there because their 20 year #10 looks really fking good. Junior could have been a good option with international games to play for + they pay well but he burned that bridge with their owner. Pretty sure if his agents made an effort the Chars would have been fk it come here. Tho I don't think Junior really has a top coach that James would even respect enough to work under..... not that Minnesota has one but if James who is a Demi god in colombia starts talking shit about the Junior coach while at Junior dude is getting fired. I don't think that will happen in Minnesota.

    He is too slow for Europe and has fitness issues. But he way faster than Quintero with 10x more stamina so if Quintero works in Argentina then James would too.

    Argentinian Club managers are not going to put up with James' attitude. We saw it at Sao Paulo.

    In MLS everyone will just be happy to see him train and play and do his magic.
    Not much expectations other than just getting healthy and passing the ball exquisitely as he usually does.

    5m for half of Feb to May haha.... nice man....

    another 5m if he does well and wants to stay till end of the season

    that is why he didn't go to Millos, Argentina... only MLS, Mexico, Brazil could afford that but the other 2 got burned by him already.

    Hopefully he is healthy and not injured for you to watch him play.
