[Albion] Daniel James

[Birdie Boy]

And yet I bet he still signed for one of those rather than Huddersfield.

Chelsea. A lot of money, wages wise and signing on fee for an 18year old and most people for that matter. He has now left them though to get game time elsewhere.

I don't see much point in having Dan James on loan even for a season. We want to progress as a club and not progress individual players that are not ours, surely? I think it's different when you are in championship, league 1 etc. To when I the premier league. As someone else said, if getting a loan in get an experienced one.

If we sign him and he has a great first season, he'll probably be snapped up by a top team the following summer anyway, so loaning him in might not be too much difference for us other than the profit margins. The way football works now, anyone we get in who turns out to be a great signing will be gone the following transfer window. Progressing as a club shouldn't mean loans are a no go.

Irrelevant thread. Agreed terms with Man Utd

**** James. We have young talent too- let's use them and who knows who we might have on our hands in a seasons time.

No he hasn’t

They haven’t even bid for him

But ..... they will bid for him and I’m sure they will agree terms when their bid is accepted.

If we sign him and he has a great season and we sell him, we make a profit.
If we sign him and he has a great season, we won't necessarily sell him, look at Dunk.
If we loan him and he has a great season, and he goes back to United, we start again.

I know there are other possibilities, where he doesn't have a great season...

.

Surely the same would apply if we sign him and then sell him the next summer?

We'd have to use the money we made from him to sign someone new which is essentially starting again.

But we might not sell him. I think Bloom wants to stay in the premier league, selling your best players, which he hasn't done so far, would not help this.

Let’s not speak ill of him just yet.

Man Utd normally sign first team players for £50m - £100m.

James is a punt and will be loaned out. I suspect it will be to us as cover for Izequierdo.

Utd aren’t going to loan him out.

They want him because they can’t get Sancho (not interested) and Zaha (too expensive).

I really doubt Utd are after Zaha after his escapades there before, he is exactly the sort of player they’ll be clearing out this summer.

As for Sancho, if they cat get him, I’d expect them to be spending a similar amount (£60m?) on someone else rather than a punt from the Championship.

They are spending big money on defenders, James has been told he is to be part of the first team squad and not loaned out.

You imply you are ITK here as I’ve not seen that reported. Big gamble for Manure if true.

Been reported by Alan Nixon and Manchester Evening News

Agreed. They've had issues with player personalities, effort levels and attitude. They need to recruit some leaders - professionals who will fight each game, and lead their teammates to do the same. Zaha is not a leader, he's a sulker, which is the last thing they need.

In various places, local papers in both Manchester and Swansea... Nixon from the S*n been saying for days.

It isn’t a secret they are after Maguire and Wan Bissaka, and OLS has been saying he wants youthful players as part of his summer overhaul

 

[TSB]

We'll probably join the hunt for Gareth Bale now James is off the market.

NSC users in losing grip on reality shock.

Too old and injury prone. We need young, dynamic players with pace.
