John Barnes suggested on Bonus Code Bets that James Rodriguez could struggle for Everton in the Premier League.
The former Liverpool star has spoken highly of James’s technical ability, but he is not convinced that the Colombia international can succeed in the top flight of English football, at least in his first season.
Everton recently signed the 29-year-old – who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger – from Spanish and European giants Real Madrid.
Banes said about James on Bonus Code Bets: “He is technically very good, but the physicality of the Premier League is a tough adjustment for attacking midfield players, it might be too much for him in his first season.
