Some of his deliveries for Wales and his assist last game of the season for United spring to mind.. a 23 year old can be coached to become more consistent with this You didn’t see him race through on goal yesterday, and then completely over hit the cross which would have made it 2-0? His end product is poor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 12 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: You are probably right about 40m, but given the fact he was bought for 16m (10m + addons) 2 years ago, and he is having a decent Euro's, I am unsure how much cheaper he will be. Clubs like United who are financially irresponsible tend to not bother milking massive fees out of players when they are deemed to have failed. They just want them off the books and off the wage bill. Last year alone they sold: Smalling - about 15m Fosu Mensah - less than 2m Rojo - nominal fee / possibly free transfer Before that: Matteo Darmian - 1.5m ish Daley Blind - about 15m Fellaini - approx 10m Januzaj - interesting one because of obvious James comparison, about 8m Memphis Depay - likewise above, 13m Di Maria - bit different because they sold him to PSG for 44m but worth noting that was a 15m+ loss Jonny Evans - 8m So I think it's fair to imagine that when James eventually leaves United it will probably be for a pretty low fee and it wouldn't surprise anyone if they make a loss.

His end product is poor. You didn't see him land one perfectly on Keiffer Moore's head in the first half, with his weak foot, then? He was a constant threat yesterday and played well. You'd have to be an idiot to try and use yesterday's game as an example of why you think he's poor. I know I've posted a lot in this thread over the last 24hrs so I should iterate, I think he's inconsistent and we should be looking for better. He wouldn't be anywhere near to my first choice for a transfer this summer. But honestly, some of the opinions on here are ridiculous. Yes, he wasn't really ready or good enough to move to Manchester United and be a starter but that's their fault not his. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 He looked like a possible rough diamond to me, but so did Gray, so it's a gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U won't sell cheap & like all Man U players he will be on top dollar wages. I feel that we can do way way better than Dan James . The what of Daniel James? Feels like you're you just trying to make up more reasons not to buy him, because you know your 'no end product' one looks daftly binary. Your financial points also seem like a play from the 'multiple bad reasons equals one good one' school of reason. Man U operate almost the opposite model to us. Throw money at too many players at an inflated price, wonder why hardly any of them work out, and then sell them on for a fraction of the original price they paid. A 'get rinsed, repeat' model, if you like. If they broke with this and did want top dollar for him, or James refused to move without being offered silly wages, we wouldn't see him in a Leicester shirt anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmono84 Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I’ve not seen him perform yet because I’ve not managed to catch any of the Wales games but International football is nothing like the premier League. Ill look forward to watching a game where he doesn’t dive all the time and see if there’s actually a good player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxOnWheels Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 (edited) Would take him for the right fee, people saying his end product can’t be improved? Sterling had much worse end product at one point and a good coach improved it massively so why couldn’t Rodgers?

mazarron fox Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I was a wing/wing back coach at Bayer Belgravekrusen and crossing was an easy skill to get right. If they hit it to hard I said don’t and if they under-hit the cross I said hit harder, problem solved. you’re welcome 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 We've done quite well out of the Man Utd cast offs so we might strike gold with James. The only issue is that we're solid on the left side with Harvey. It's more a certain player at Le Havre that we're trying to replace on the right.

You could start by telling Perez to run faster and telling Barnes to stop being injured. Edited 17 June 2021 by murphy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbylcfc Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 If it was for less than 20 mill I’d take him Rogers loves a young player to improve and he can’t be worse than gray or under 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I know he plays on the left for Wales, but I could sweat that he operates on the right wing for Man U on the odd occasion when I have seen them play. I may be totally incorrect of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I think there is a player who could be great for us in there somewhere. He's a bit like Barnes before his improvement. Problem is there isn't any value given the price he'd probably cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 (edited) James has played almost as many games on the right as the left, and his scoring record is about the same. Why is everyone talking as if he’s strictly a left winger? There are plenty of outstanding right-footed RW out there.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 No thank you. He looks like a Welsh Ahmed Musa, all pace, and no technique. Lets not go there again and get in actual footballers for this club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 (edited) Going based off the original report, given that Sancho to Manchester United became official today I'm assuming that should increase the chances of James joining Leicester as Paul Swinson initially reported.
