Maybe he will help Everton to the league title. It is sometimes better being the main man in a mediocre team than a superstar playing beside even better superstars. He will undoubtedly be the main man in that Everton team and will enjoy his football without the pressure!James just scored a nice shot to put Everton 2-1 up on West Brom.
Can’t help but feel he is too good for Everton and should be playing for a CL club.
Always viewed him as a player who never reached the level he could.
I wouAny particular reason why?
A boy who won Monaco Player of the year, Ligue 1 assist leader and team of the season, won the World Cup golden Boot, La Liga's midfielder of the season at Madrid, selected to the the La Liga team of the season and UEFA team of the season, then Bundesliga team of the season and Champions League team of the season at Bayern, Copa America team of the tournament with Colombia.
Not sure there is a level above world class.

It’s Ancelotti, when you’re manager is of that name you can get players like James, especially when money is not an issue.James just scored a nice shot to put Everton 2-1 up on West Brom.

I've said it in the past.Who was it last week who said Calvert-Lewin won't score goals?
He’s at the best club in the prem....perfect.James just scored a nice shot to put Everton 2-1 up on West Brom.

Maybe this is his season to kick on but I never previously felt he was good enough yet to be a main man at a club trying to force their way into Europe.
Similar to Tammy Abraham last season when peopel were going on about him I always felt he could score a few against the smaller teams but didn't have enough about him to impact a big game. Better player obviously but if he proves me wrong then good on him
I never saw the game or the goals but maybe just having any sort of hat trick will give him a boost. He's a good hard worker and seems to have a good attitude just think he lacks a bit of an edge.To be fair, 1st goal was a backheel from a yard. 2nd was going in and he helped it over the line and the 3rd hit him on the back.
Sometimes it's just your day and be interesting to see if he can keep scoring for them when it's maybe not his day.

Close the thread lol. Well putIf he was too good he wouldn’t be there
Its a loan move, so if he does well the big EPL teams may get him.James just scored a nice shot to put Everton 2-1 up on West Brom.

Stupid fecker can't even pronounce James
ExactlyDon’t be daft. No player is too good for Rangers
Me I thinkWho was it last week who said Calvert-Lewin won't score goals?
To think he’s behind Kane, Rashford, Ings, Abraham and possibly Greenwood for England. If he could play for Scotland he would be the first name on the team-sheet.
He never played for BanfieldSeen him play for Banfield in Argentina in 2009, only came on for 10 minutes. Only realised a few year ago when looking at the line ups on Soccerway. Apparently Real Madrid still owe them money as they have a clause for any onward sales of him.

Didn’t realise. Thought it was a permanent move.Its a loan move, so if he does well the big EPL teams may get him.
You must have a different wikipedia to me.lol, I know you are on a wind up a lot on here but he did - you can even see it from a 20 second search on wikipedia.

This was the match.
Early days, let’s wait and see where Everton finish up but for me, James is a CL level player. Finishing 5th or 6th isn’t CL level.I really think Everton look the real deal this season , they have 1 of the best managers in the world and have backed him I recon a top 6 finish is well achievable , so is James to good for a top 6 premiership team ?

Yes, Everton should have more of a go, which will be better for the neutral and may ironically help Liverpool.Got Liverpool at home next month, should be a decent match for once.
I thought it, does that count?Me I think
It’s not a loan. It’s a permanent free transfer because Real are desperate to get him off the wage bill, as they are with Bale.Didn’t realise. Thought it was a permanent move.
Really? Didn’t realise. Just assumed they’d bought him. Not really paid much attention to the transfer window this year.It’s not a loan. It’s a permanent free transfer because Real are desperate to get him off the wage bill, as they are with Bale.
I think ironically an Everton might be perfect for him.
His main issue at the likes of Madrid and Bayern is he was just one of many.
At Everton he will be the guy.
some players like that and thrive on it.
every time he got the ball Everton clicked into gear. They could be a very good watch this year, DCL racking up the goals too
I loved Ancelotti’s comments that a striker should only need one touch to score a goal, at AC Milan Inhzagi scored 300 goals, 250 were with one touch , great advice for Calvert Lewin indeedI thought it, does that count?
Think he agrees after some of the stuff pickford did today, he's a typical mental keeper that totally fucks it all time but somehow still pulls off a cracking save now and then to make you consider sticking with him.Everton need a new keeper and centre half. If they want to break out of being a mid table side.
having said that. Ancelotti knows a shit load more than I do
The pass to Richarlson for DCLs second goal was absolutely outrageous.
Pickford really is pish isn’t he. 30m POUNDS!!!!I looked at the Everton team sheet at the start of the match, and said to my son that that was a world class team on paper! He noted the flaw, that was Pickford, and he nearly sold the jerseys in the first 10 minutes.
James, Richarlison, Allan, Decourt, Mina, Digne, Gomes, Keane.. they could all walk into any Premier League team. Add in Calvert-Lewin, and Coleman who are both very good - they have a strong first XI
Their problem is their strength in depth - there may be a point 5 or 6 of these guys will be injured or off form, and I don't really know who they have to replace them.
Pickford really is pish isn’t he. 30m POUNDS!!!!
Yeah, and Harry Maguire is worth £80 Million Pounds, and John Stones is worth £50 Million! I wont even start with the Chelsea Goalie! English transfer fees are mental!
The transfer fees are ridiculous in the English market.Yeah, and Harry Maguire is worth £80 Million Pounds, and John Stones is worth £50 Million! I wont even start with the Chelsea Goalie! English transfer fees are mental!
