James Rodriguez was an absolute joy to watch in his prime. At the time of this video, there are reports of him potentially returning to Everton or even La Liga. Do you guys think he is done or still has some spark remaining for a last dance?

Well, he is having a revival in Copa America. Maybe he won't be a bright a star as he was but playing as he is, he probably deserves a spot in a competitive team in Europe

@FootballVisionYT OOOPPPSSS, you obviously don't pay attention to CONMEBOL qualifiers. James is still the captain of Colombia's national team. He has led the team to 27 undefeated matches, and counting, the only country in the world right now that hasn't lost a match in all of 2024. In the ongoing Copa America he won player of the game in all 3 games of the group stage. He also won player of the game in Colombia's 5-0 demolition of Panama in the quarter finals and has the team ready to take on Uruguay in the semis. In fact, many Uruguayans are worried that he will defeat them on Wednesday just like he did 10 years ago in Brazil. He has also had a betterCopa America than Messi or Vinicius Junior. He also has Colombia, as of right now, in 3rd place below Argentina and Uruguay in WC qualifiers. So you are 100% wrong on your assessment that James " disappeared overnight."

Hopefully he and his management team know there is no point to moving to a team if the coach is not willing to utilize a traditional number 10 in some capacity. James is an attacking midfielder who operates between the midfield and forward lines. He is a creative playmaker responsible for orchestrating attacks. James has excellent vision, passing ability, and technical skills. At his age, he needs the freedom to play his position the way Nestor Lorenzo has allowed him to play for Colombia. At Real Madrid Zidane often used a 4-3-3 formation, which didn't naturally accommodate a traditional number 10 like James so he lost playing time as a result. Néstor Lorenzo primarily uses a 4-2-3-1 formation as the head coach of the Colombia national team. This formation suits James Rodriguez. The 4-2-3-1 formation typically employs an attacking midfielder behind the striker, which is James' preferred position as a traditional number 10. This setup allows James to operate in the central area between the midfield and forward lines, where he can utilize his vision and passing skills to create chances.With two defensive midfielders behind him, James has more freedom to focus on his creative duties without as much defensive responsibility. The formation provides width through wingers, which can create space for James to operate in the center.James' ability to play quick, short passes and through balls suits the 4-2-3-1 system, especially in linking midfield to attack. It would be great to see James return to La Liga on a team and coach that knows how to best utilize him.

Great to see James Rodriguez doing so well at the Copa America! His coach, Nestor Lorenzo, knows how to get the best out of him and how to utilize him. Great coaches know how to get the most out of all their players. James is a world class talent that did not fit in with Benitez or Zidane’s style of play.

This is one of the few videos on the subject that don’t just glance over all of his achievements outside of the World Cup and the first season with Real Madrid. The truth is James was an incredible talent long before that 2014 World Cup. He carried that Banfield team to their first and only ever league title and shined throughout his entire time at Porto. Had two great seasons with madrid and a fantastic loan spell at Bayern. I think the mix of injuries and having that fat bastard Benitez following him his whole career deprived us of seeing him shine at the elite level for longer. Even now at 32 James continues to show signs of his brilliance with the Colombian national team, I hope he can have a great copa America and get to finish his career at a club of the level that he deserves.

Imma be honest, some players just aren’t meant to play for certain clubs. James should’ve never joined Real Madrid, not that he wasn’t good, but maybe his career would’ve went differently had he joined Bayern for example instead. Like he wasn’t bad after joining Real Madrid, but he just didn’t play. Which can make you worse. A lot of players should’ve avoided man united for example.

I get where you are coming from but James perfectly suited the Galacticos culture and had a very impressive first season. The managerial changes were something out of his hands and injuries unfortunately hampered his comebacks into the side. So I think it was more bad luck than joining the wrong team
