Isn't Merrick on record as saying that James isn't what he's looking for? Besides, didn't he re-sign in Finland again?
Pfft facts. This is a speculation thread.
Yes, that rings a bell (regarding Ernie's comment). He might have said that after the Mexico games. Not sure about James re-signing in Finland. But I do recall Keat extending his contract (in Sweden), maybe this is what El Grapadura was thinking of?
