I genuinely think this guy has some incredible PR with the help of Chelsea fans and the media. This dude has straight up been pants since march of 2022 and is somehow still in the “best rb itw” convo “when fit/available”. Is built like a gym devotee yet has the endurance and stamina of a wet shoe box, puts in a good attacking performance every 3 to 5 BUSINESS weeks (not even an exaggeration) and defensively, well, ask Anthony F*CKING Gordon who boned him and got him sent to the showers, probably for the better.

    Chelsea fan here. Yeah he is. Great player on his day, that’s about it. Chelsea fans in general overrate their players. I’m Argentinian, and I was in disbelief when someone said that Enzo is the next Lampard. Or that Cole Palmer is an upgrade from Jorginho. Really insane stuff.

    When defenders do well going forward people tend to assume that they are good footballers even if they are poor defenders. He is alright. If he is this injury prone at such a young age then his future doesn’t look too bright tbh. Gets too many cards. I think he thinks he is Ramos.

    I don’t like him as a person, he seems a bit arrogant but an unbelievable player. From a Liverpool fan

    Whenever he starts he’s most of the time the best player on the pitch. Problem is that he’s half the time suspended or injured.

    No, when he’s fit he’s insane.

    He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen in person , he’s untouchable. Before his injuries last year he was a solid pick for the best right back in the world. Four Four Two also had him at #1.

    I have a few friends who are Wigan supporters, when James was 18, he won their player of the season, the Wigan supporters I knew claimed he was one of if not the best okayed they had ever seen play for Wigan, and that’s at 18.

    When he’s fit and not rusty, I honestly believe he’s the best RB in the world.
