How highly do you rate James Rodriguez?

Of course every other player has this thread except King James

Bump

Has been amazing ever since he broke into the spotlight two years ago at Porto. Next summer a huge club will snatch him for a lot of money. I rate him very highly, would love him at Liverpool but we don't have the money to deal with Porto.

dat technique

great goal. porto to top the table

With this gem and our current squad it would be a shame if we don't get to the world cup

From what I've seen he looks great. Very intelligent with his decision making.

Man Utd were linked with him in the Summer. Haven't seen the match, but PSG's team kinda looked average from the lineup.

Yeah I guess the Man U rumor fell through

James Rodriguez is the best kept secret on football. Forget his club form, have any of you seen him play for Colombia lately?

He wears the number 10 at a very young age and fully deserves it for them. HE has them looking like the best team in South America so far in WC qualifying.

I mean if you don't watch the South American football qualifier's you would see how he is outshining Falcao by a country mile on that team. Plus he can play all over the field and for his size as he is skinny he is tuff as nails as SA qualifiers are very physical and it doesn't bother him in the least.

I want Barca to buy him bad.

Who ever made the thread kudos as he did have a nice goal against PSG as I'm assuming that's why the thread was made but if you really want to see hoe good a player he is watch some of his highlights or games from playing for Colombia.

And yes he would be perfect for Man U. This kid is great and is the next big thing in football. HE should be worth 50 mill, that's the kind of potential he has and it's already been on show for a couple years now although over the last 12-18 months he has really been killing it.

I made this thread a long time ago but I bumped it because it had no replies.

Haven't seen him play to be honest.. Who is he comparable to at Madrid? Ozil?

Btw there is only one King James

I don't really want to say Ozil.
I can't really pinpoint a player he's similar to.

Been following him since his Banfield days. I remember Juve were closely after him but Porto snatched him up (for future reference to Italian clubs, if Porto/Benfica are after someone, sign them up instead). He was very highly rated in Argentine primera where he used to play as more of an SS.

Same here.
I remember all signs were pointing to Benfica. With Juventus linked early on.
But out of the blue no pun intended porto signed him.

Good choice thus far

Class. Said it before, and I'll say it again. With Hulk gone, Porto should build the team around him.

Well I'm glad he's getting his props, as I too have been hyping him up for like 2 years. And yes, he's been boss for Colombia as of late. Falcao/James for Brazil 2014!! @colo: are u the only other cafetero on the forum?

I believe so I'm not aware of anyone else.
I just hope peckerman stays with us seeing how well the team is doing.
Folks at the Capitol have a tendency to criticize very quickly

Yeah they do, but pekerman is showing that his wins aren't flukes. There's still too many games to go but this Colombia is showing so much potential. I'm sure he'd stay if we qualify.

We are not worthy

God amongst mere mortals.

5 goals in his first ever World Cup

Going to score at least 7 in this WC

Watching him this world cup, I keep thinking back to that scene in TDKR where that guy asks Bane "what... are you?"

What is this creature we call Hames?
