Only DD in one season in 2015/16 is anything like the level we're currently at. Even at their peaks those four would struggle to make our current match day squad (DD 15/16 excepted). 1

His speed would be a major asset! If James has a decent player in him that's his business & we should respect that. 1 4
fox_favourite Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 I think it’ll be a good addition. He’s the sort of player I can imagine Rodgers will be able to get the most out of. Ole at Utd, let’s be honest, doesn’t have much of a clue to coaching and James coming to might be the making of him. If it’s a loan, I think it’s a great idea, though can’t see they letting him come here. 1
Deeg67 Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 If James is the RW, I think that tells us a lot about BR's plans for next season. James is not the guy you sign if you plan to use a 4-5-1 or some like formation with two wingers as your default. He's a guy you sign to give you options - to use wingers against some opposition, to throw in after 70 minutes to change formation and use his speed against tired fullbacks. If the light switch clicks on and he sets the world on fire, you adjust accordingly. Otherwise wingers are your change of pace formation, not your go-to. I like James if he could be gotten cheap, or loaned in with an option to buy. You can't teach speed, as the old saw goes, and (contrary to some opinion) he does have football skills than can be developed. Butt I hate five at the back and we need somebody more reliably starting-caliber if we're going to be able to ditch it. 1

Seems like they have taught him a few tricks like, going down under any contact and being aware of his teammates (not a bad thing). He looks like he has lost his aggression and arrogance, the things that make him who he is. He looks very ordinary, he is struggling being asked to play this way and it is not helping him, or his team. It is very much akin to Vardy with the aggression watered down, he is not the same player and sometimes curbing someone's natural instincts, in order to fit into a pattern, is not always a good thing. 3
Popular Post Pliskin Posted 2 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 2 July 2021 Writing James off is nonsense. He’s got all of the ingredients to be a quality player, he is just the type of player that Brendan could mould. Was Harvey Barnes any better when he first came into the first team following a loan in the championship? Probably not no. James has the raw ingredients already, he just needs good management, and Ole ‘at the wheel’ will not produce that, he’s shite, and United are very much a turn up when they can be arsed side. James would be a very good signing if we could pull it off, but we won’t for the simple fact United won’t send him to a rival. 8

In fairness to the original comment, none of these would be good enough for us now, even at peak. Having said that, I'm all for this signing. Rodgers regularly gets a tune out of players like him.

There's quite a bit of revisionism about Robbie Savage. He was a very good player for us, and could play a bit on top of the all action style At his best he'd absolutely make the bench right now, comfortably ahead of Mendy and Hamza.

Nick Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 Well I’m a bit torn in this one. If we can get him for a song and we havnt got the cash for a marquee signing, then yeah, let’s go. For me we need competition for Barnes and also an understudy for when he’s sold at some point. James can play on the right whilst we don’t have anybody for the role. The poster who said earlier in the thread that he looks like Harvey before he improved I think has a good point. Not sold - would prefer better being honest but wouldn’t surprise me if Rogers turned him in to a £45 million pound player within 2 years. 2
filbertway Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 James would be a lovely rotation with Barnes and another winger. We only have 1 winger that's actually good enough to be where we want to me. 1
moore_94 Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 (edited) I would take him on loan with an option to buy, but only if that was alongside a “marquee” signing of a right winger, not instead of I don’t have the confidence he could come in and be the player we have wanted and needed on that right hand side, but he could certainly be a devastating impact off the bench and be good enough for rotation in cup games and against weaker opposition Barnes, *new signing*, James, Albrighton, Sowah I would be very happy to go into next season with Edited 2 July 2021 by moore_94 3

Yes, maybe match day 'squad' was a bit harsh. Match day 'team' is probably more accurate. RS would certainly be an option to inject energy into proceedings in a similar way to how Albrighton does for us when he comes on.
