It's not always as cut and dry as that and Lingard proved last season with West Ham that not getting in at a big club doesn't mean you aren't good enough. That said I've doubts about just how good he is and think with our recruiting prowess that we can find better within our budget. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me a bit of Vardy when he first came to us. A raw talent, and rough around the edges. There's a good player in there somewhere with a bit of refinement and guidance. I wouldn't be against him coming to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither was Depay, Di Maria, Lukaku, Zaha, Pique and others but they did alright. Salah and De Bruyne weren’t good enough for Chelsea, Sancho Man City etc etc. Not that I would expect him to be of that quality, but it’s not a barometer as those clubs can’t give people the time clubs like Leicester can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its one of the many things this club needs to be good at if we're going to continue to punch above our weight financially. That's one of the many reasons Rodgers is here. Like Under we just cant expect a 100% success rate. Still feel like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth when it comes to the "magical left footed right winger who presses from the front". At some point we have to spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian__marshall Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 I don't get what the hype is about this kid. Looks distinctly average at best whenever I've seen him play. If he wasn't lightning quick he'd be at a mid table Championship side, which worries me as he's one bad injury away from being that player. Technically he's poor and the numbers he's produced for Utd, Swansea, and Wales are very mediocre. I've seen comments suggesting that BR is a great coach who can maybe develop and push him on to the next level, but in-order to step up a player needs to have the underlying ability to make that transition and unfortunately I just don't think he has that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of faith in our scouting and development as it presently stands. They should be capable of learning from our mistakes at this position and be able to adjust accordingly. After Perez and Under we need to get this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Fastest front four in the history of the game… Daka, James, Barnes, Vardy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Dan James is a one trick pony. He can't dribble, can't shoot, can't pass & is a terrible crosser. He runs past people with speed but that is it. Brendan Rodgers is a very good coach but he couldn't teach decision making to Gray & he won't improve Dan James either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably both go on but at this level in the game it's mandatory to have that ability if you want to make it to the next level. Management or club.

FoxOnWheels Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Might not be peoples first choice but I think with right coaching and some confidence could be a very decent player in there. His speed would be a major asset! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
