Rayo Vallecano is going through a complicated phase in LaLiga EA Sports, with four defeats in their last five matches, and the decisions made by coach Iñigo Pérez have sparked debate. Two key players, James Rodríguez and Raúl de Tomás, are at the center of controversy, as they are barely featured in the coach's plans. While the Colombian has had limited playing time, the Madrid-born striker finds himself sidelined, even left out of the squad in some matches.

Raúl de Tomás:

Raúl de Tomás' situation is particularly delicate. Without minutes so far this season, rumors of a possible departure in January have started to gain traction. From Barcelona, there's speculation about his interest in returning to RCD Espanyol, where he had some standout moments in his career. However, Rayo's management publicly insists on his importance to the team, a statement that contrasts with his current role and the high cost of keeping him on the roster.

James Rodríguez:

The Colombian midfielder has also failed to impress since his arrival. Despite getting some minutes, his performance is far from justifying his signing, and his future in Vallecas also seems uncertain. It's worth noting that James has received proposals from several clubs to change scenery in January, so it appears that his departure won't be an issue.

The club could find quick solutions in the winter transfer market, either through transfers or agreements to terminate contracts. With both players earning high salaries, freeing up these wages would be an important step for Rayo, who aims to turn around their dynamics and strengthen key areas for the remainder of the season.
