He destroyed your whole Brazil Squad he is talented just not a top level player anymore and let me rephrase we would be perfect for him in the sense that he would be a squad player
I think James is still more than talented and could be fit enough. I think he lacks motivation and desire. He no cares. He needs Colombia or a big club to get going but if he gets benched or injured he will be in a mood and then lose motivation.
Do we have a better passer or set piece taker? Either way we are talking about a squad role to add depth and has some quality but yeah it’s irrelevant since it isn’t happening
Brother, we all liked young James, we really did. We all know he was and still is a very gifted player. Having said that, it's really nog a serious topic. Even as a squad player, he's not needed. Squad players at Real Madrid typically have a certain profile, and he's very very far from that profile. Let him enjoy his retirement days, as football has clearly not been high on his priority list for a very long time.
I don't think it's a crazy idea if Ceballos leaves. Mainly because Carlo has signed James multiple times. I don't think Betis are interested in paying a transfer fee for Ceballos though so likely stays.
Isco got the privilege James never did from 2018-19 onwards and he showed up fat every season. Whatever the rumours are about James personal life, he never looked out of shape at Bayern or Everton. Injuries derailed his season. Isco got into shape after no club wanted him. Imagine having that attitude from 2018-22 at a club like RM. James left for Everton because he wanted to play under Carlo rather than collect paycheck on RM bench while being out of shape like Isco.
From James’ perspective a squad role with a direct team under one of the few managers he trusts and shows up for, it would be ideal now from Madrid A guy with immense talent adding depth but not depending on him. now I understand we could do better than James, just saying it wouldn’t be a bad option
If Ceballos leaves, we'd want a cheap option as replacement. And Carlo doesn't like playing Castilla players without top flight experience. If James can secure a free transfer from Brazil, why not on a 1 year deal to RM? Carlo would be open to that over some Castilla kid for sure.
Sorry signing James in 2024??? He had a good few games in Copa but has been terrible for Sao Paulo. A player who only switches motivation on and off every once in a while isn't welcome or needed at Real Madrid. And I'm someone who was sad about how his career in Europe ended.

The sooner you get it over with, the better. If it's truly inevitable, there's not much point in kicking the can down the road. He badly needs some time away from a football field anyway.

His name may sound racist, but since none of his actions were his activities aren't serious enough to be considered actual crimes desrving of punishment.
