Overrated as fuck because of that World Cup & the Real Madrid transfer. Spent more time in Madrid nightclubs than on the pitch since he's been at Real. 

If James is overrated so how overrated is Hazard? Lol

How is James overrated again mate ? This guy is class, his technical abilities on the ball is one of the best I have seen from a number 10 in recent years.

Talented yes, but his off the pitch attitude overshadows his abilities. Guy is a complete nutter. Pick a random nightclub in Madrid at any given day and you might bump into him.

He is a lost cause and Madrid want to get rid of him asap.

Lol some of you guys didnt watched James, did you? James is overrated and its true! He cant drible, his hidden passes are awfull and technical ability isnt big..  The only good thing he can do is move the ball to left leg and shoot.. Yes he does have exelent shot from medicore distance! But changing it for Hazard is bargain. If we go for a change Isco is the far better choice for no10..

If James make his mind to not playing in CL next season, then yes.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Have enough of weeping wannabes who cry and complain all the time.

Time to get some real leaders.

I don't think James is overrated nor has he been enjoying the night life too much - he's just not that good.

Quite simply Hazard is a lot better than him. Yes, Hazard's mind is elsewhere, can be lazy, but he had a tremendous season before which is something James never had. Yes, he had a good world cup with a pretty average team playing to his strengths who got knocked out as soon as played a big team and an awful one at that.

Let's say if Madrid offered James + 20m for Hazard. I'd still think of robbery... Yes, I'd take james, BUT NOT to replace Hazard! We'd need lots of cash for that because James ain't it.

I understand your point of view but at the moment exchanging James for Hazard might be the only way to get any money at all. Hazard is amazing talent but he will never score enough goals to justify world record breaking transfer fees. New generation of equally talented wingers are already around of corner and many of them have the potential of Hazard combined with better scoring ability. Real Madrid and PSG are our only options in the summer where to offload Hazard and neither of them really need him.

He's the last of their midfielders I'd want if Hazard goes the other way. Would much rather make an effort to lure Isco. Unlike there he'd be an automatic starter and an important piece here.

[Fernando 6,595]

You guys think we should go for James Rodriguez?

Although I agree here too, I would not mind Isco as well. 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If Hazard is to leave and there is no way to keep him, I would only accept Bale in return.

No James, No Isco. Those two are youtube players.

Thats very harsh. Both players are brilliant and literally levels above any creative players we can boast of.

[Special Juan 28,188]

Him or Isco for our #10 role please.

No more no.10 roles. 3 man midfield Please. Either of them can be the creative beacon that people are looking in Cesc for next season.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Funny people want to get rid of Hazard but at same time buy Isco or James.

Why? James doesnt give a fuck and neither is Isco. Spending their careers on bench just so they can say they play for Madrid. Whenever they play, they score odd goal or make cool dribble, but neither is actualy a good team player who would contribute, run around and put their body on line to help team mates. Vazquez was playing ahead of both against City, it tells you something.

Adriano, Balotelli etc all had huge talents. But talent is not all. Mature and responsible players are what we need right now, not some kids like James or Isco.

I dont want such lazy players. Rather keep Hazard because at least he has some history with Chelsea and got us title.

The year when Bale was bought by Madrid, he and isco went head to head for a spot. Luckily for isco, Bale got an injury and isco had a long time to play in the team. He was exquisite. Yet, as soon as Bale came back from injury, Isco was dropped. What does that tell the player about the team and the club? It simply tells him that no matter what, your transfer fee is going to decide your place in the team. 

Also, the way RM is set up is very very different from ours. They give all the freedom in the world to their front 3 and want legs in the middle to make up for them. James and Isco are simply not those players. Also, mate, I massively disagree with calling James as a "lazy player". I am not sure if you have watched him at all last season. His workrate is close to willian's. Anyways, we are a team that want to give hazard all the freedom and want bodyguards to be played in the team just so cesc can play. Meanwhile, while Hazard's talents might warrant that, cesc definitely does not. We take james/Isco and give them the role that cesc would have in a midfield 3 with Radja and Matic, and we would be a completely brilliant team. Both are miles better dribblers, ball controllers, tempe controllers, goal scorers. It is simply their current roles in the squad and the weird heirachy at Madrid that makes them look poor. Dont forget, Filipe luis was not a "good defender" for us. Now he is the best defender in the best defence in the world. Without a doubt, the best LB in the world currently. A lot depends on the club and the system.

Real Madrid have a system which revolves around CR and bale with kroos and modric in the midfield. Any player would find it difficult to break through. Have either of isco/james at this club to link up with hazard and the "protection" of radja and matic, and they would play like the world class talents that they are.

I dont think either James or Isco have ability to actualy dictate tempo and do the playmaking. 

And when I was calling them lazy, I didnt mean their workrate. They both do fine job there. What I meant is exactly what you said. Bale got place as soon he healed. It shows how big dicks at real are. But yet Isco and James seem to be just fine with their role and where they are. I call that lack of ambition. Or lazy. 

Anyway I would abandon whole #10 thing, ship Oscar away and get someone to compete with Cesc. Best choice would be Gundogan, but in current situation someone like Pjanic would work just fine.

Wouldnt buy Isco or James in million years. Rather get either Griezmann, Bale, Dybala if there is a need to spend big bucks on offensive player.

Going that we have Conte now, and our experiment with sexy football didnt work, I would return back to balanced football based on physicality rather technique. Good old chelsea. Or new atletico.
