I know James has been discussed to death but does anyone have any evidence that he has not been picked up the Phoenix because he has an attitude problem? It seems to me, and forgive me if I'm wrong, that some people just think he has an attitude problem because he is unattached and we don't want him. Isn't it more likely he just doesn't fit into the club's plans. I don't know I just don't feel right criticising James for having a poor attitude if we don't know this as a fact and if other top players don't think it.
As others have said he seems to get on well with Brocks etc on that AW kick-about vid. Clearly Ricki had issues with him. He's definitely passionate and better then our other central midfielders (no comment on Gorrin). He's not played a bad game for the AWs and given this was only his second game of 2014, his fitness didn't look too bad. He needs a gig so I can't see him being too picky about money. If Merrick was keen to put up with Carlos' shit I'm sure and issues that James MAY have he'd be able to easily control.
