If he could play football he’d be a £100m+ player. Unstoppable runner.

Gosh James gets a chance to play and shows why no top club will go for him, can't see him score or create goal scoring chances, Ole does the right thing to bring on Cavani....a real footballer

I wouldn't, I'm just making the point he's probably better than James, and Burnley would apparently take £15m for him.

.. wasn't the £15m proven to be a typo or some miscommunication!!!

  No way Burnley let him go for that fee.

That's why I said poor man's Lloyd Dyer. Dyer was quality  

[5waller5]

I watched the Wolves v Man U game today (happened to be working at Molineux), James was anonymous and subbed after an hour (Wolves were the better side).

 

Traore did his best to fit his cliche description - loads of skill and pace, but woeful crossing. He also seems to only run with the ball - 3 times he could have been set free if he made the run off the ball. He’s a physical specimen but way off being a good enough footballer for us.

Traore has been unplayable first 3 games terrifying defenders , but unless his end product improves he is the top trump card where you need to be the one calling "pace and power" because you know its the highest score in the deck , trouble is you also know he can be taken on the "finishing" category by Junior Lewis

Fabrizio has just said he’s signing for Leeds, permanently too. Thought he’d be better than lookman but time will tell.

Never question the legend of Lloyd Dyer! 
 

all hail the lord of the left wing (and falling over). Loved him when he played for us.

Guess the thing here is that it's a permanent deal, whereas with Lookman it's a loan with option. So the Lookman deal is the lower risk one of the two, albeit with the lower reward.Probably explains why we aren't interested in this one.

 

[Max Power]

Would have taken a loan.  £20m fee though no thanks 

[Ric Flair]

Bielsa will turn James in to a machine.

[Stevosevic]

How does he go from starting 2 of Manchester Uniteds league games so far to not wanted and leaving on a permanent deal? 

 

He started yesterday

Ronaldo arriving, Rashford back in training, Sancho settling in

[Genesis1]

Isn't it funny, now he's looking like going to Leeds I want him.

[FoxesWalk]

Close thread.

 

 

[UniFox21]

that might be why we stood well back from this deal. £30m is absolutely bonkers

[KFS]

30m hahahahaha

[ian__marshall]

£30m!!!  United have absolutely had their pants down.

Traore is a buff Alli/Gray

Is this serious? Traoré has even less of a final product than James. I'd suggest that he'd be lethal if he could work on his finishing but it hasn't markedly improved since he was at Middlesborough. In his first season at Villa he went something like 30 games without scoring. Was better for Boro in the Championship, five goals and ten assists. I think he signed for Wolves in 2019 and has ten goals for the club. 

[kingfox]

30 million for Dan James 

[Wymsey]

Yes, this phrase doesn't get associated much with Man Utd these days but - that's great business by them if that selling fee is accurate.

[jammie82uk]

Surprised Leeds have gone for him again after getting their fingers burned last time 

[Legend_in_blue]

30 million for an average player?  Am I reading this right?  That's absolute daylight robbery at the crack of midday.

[AjcW]

So they’ve paid for Ronaldo transfer fee and a few months wages 😂😂😂😂😂
