The future of James Rodríguez is the realm of uncertainty: the summer market ended without the offer from Europe that he was waiting for so much and now, after publicly going out to offer himself to another team, having a contract with Al-Rayyan, they do not even want to see it in Qatar.
What will happen to him in the future? His best alternative would be to agree a departure with the club to take advantage of a couple more weeks available to players without a contract. But it is not easy, less after his controversial statements. The other thing would be to find a team that would pay his clause and just take him away: a player with no competition for 5 months, injury-prone, expensive and 31 years old? Miracles exist.
But what will not happen is that FUTBOLRED readers change what they have thought in recent months, because according to a survey conducted in recent days, they believe that the best James has already been seen… and will not return.
The first question was: ‘Seeing James offering himself to a club instead of them going for him, makes you feel:’ and the most voted option (353 votes) was: Indifference, he already gave his best, it is better than think about retirement’.
On the reasons that led James to be in this situation and with his attitude as a professional in question, the options were: 1. He made bad decisions and was always poorly advised; 2. He was spoiled too much and what he needed was challenge; 3. He lacked the character to face problems and accommodate himself to demanding technicians; 4. He thought that the best thing that his talent would give him was money and he rejected the glory and the most voted option was: 5. All of the above.
As for the most convenient league at this point in his career, at 31 years of age, readers decided that the best would be “Any league that doesn’t demand him so much physically because he’s prone to injury.” Although the second most voted option was “The League of Spain, he already knows it and would give it competition and a showcase for the National Team”.
Finally, regarding the future of the 10 in the Colombian National Team if he reaches a league that returns him to a competitive level, it was clear that there is no mercy: “No, his time in the team has passed and we have to think about a replacement”, was the most voted option in the poll.
