Isco isnt a RW either. James is a 10, Isco is a 10. They wouldnt exactly be struck out to the wing, they'd be playing infield in all honesty, with the ability to drift in and out to the wing when needed, like Pedro and Hazard do now. James is not slow either. If he is slow then so is Isco. 

Isco is alot quicker on ball than James. In the end its all about that. How quick you pass the opponents. Isco is basicaly slower version of Hazard, while James is more of Ozil, with better shot. 

Well tbh we dont play with wingers. Eden and Pedro are more of second forwards or sth, with Moses and Alonso providing width and crosses. 

I agree Isco is not best choice for the spot, Griezmann would be ideal. But he is just so good on the ball (almost Eden). It would give us another option in attack when Eden is marked/not in form. 

While James and Isco are not fast, they have entirely different style. Isco is quicker on ball, great dribbler and can either pass or shoot. He has good balance. James on other hand has better vision and great shot. Thats why Isco fits our right side better than James. I was never impressed with James attitude either tbh. Very poor in big games.

Realy wish we get Griezmann tho.

It's funny when you said James was very poor in big games then mentioned we should get griezman. Did you watch Griezman? How is being invisible in big matches worse than being James? Well not technically if you count a missed penalty in Cl final, a poorly taken penalty in its latest semi final, did he play in euro final? I might have missed...

anyway James attitude is certainly not conte's cup of tea so we can safely, surely cross his name out from our potential targets list.

mourinho may buy him to replace mata though.

No player is great in every game. Griezmann had quite amount of very good games against top sides, while James is not playing in such games because he goes in hidding much like Cesc did against better teams. Like you said his attitude is poor and that gets exposed by better teams.  Yeah, Griezmann is not penalty taker and should not take them in first place.

Besides Griezmann will always be judged by scored goals, James is being evaluated by whole performance and even if Griezmann gets decent performance, but doesnt score, people will say he was average.

A bit of an update

Rodriguez to Chelsea?

[Fernando 6,374]

For some reason I get the feeling that we are going to get him. 

I don't know why but to me this has a Conte type of player feel. 

Like if he can work on his discipline a bit like he has done with David Luiz....well to be fair he just found the right system for him....might be the same for James. 

But I don't know I just got that feeling like Conte will take a stab at him. 

[Leif 6,006]

cool

Real madrid is trying to off load james to fund mbappe move or whatever fancy one perez loves so the press just link him with any team has money

Why? Can he play as rwb? because our system does not require a number 10 and everyone has to do pressing, except hazard

We will be changing system to the 4-2-4 that is what Conte always wanted

Don't forget that at the end of last summer and especially in January almost everything was done between RM and Chelsea FC but Cristiano changed James mind on last day. News was circulating about Conte's admiration too, for days.

It's one of his earliest plan but a disaster for us.

I'm not sure if contefind James 'better than thou' altitude loveable since zidane couldn't put up with it and just crossed his name out of his CL final team

We came close to buy James in Jan? Link, please, preferred a reliable one cause I read something about Man u is desparate for James, they weren't.

I don't have any reliable link because that was + 5 months ago. If you had time to watch transfer activities closely you could read about James to Chelsea last year on marca.com (most reliable source connected to Real Madrid), between the others.

http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/11/cristiano-ronaldo-persuaded-james-rodriguez-to-reject-chelsea-and-stay-at-real-madrid-6375881/

One of those not too reliable but still enough to get the point.

I also read that it was Contes wants not the 3 man back line.

Hes definitely along with Morata/Bonucci his initial preferences so he must have some plan for him after coming so close in last windoiw.

Kids got class but hes been spoilt. Daddy Conte will get his slipper out and give him a few whacks.

No agreement yet between Chelsea and Real Madrid for Rodriguez, Real wants between €70-80 for the columbian. (AS) #CFC
