smudger63 Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 It's going to be someone distinctly average isn't it! 1

Ric Flair Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Jordan Blackwell seems to think its a new link. Let's be honest Blackwell and Bourne don't have that much inside info as we are a very private club in getting business done. It's the agent of players that often make our transfer business public but overseas players mean the information doesn't work its way to the British media until later.

Well its all about opinions isn't it. Mine is that both James and Lookman are average. Kind of mid table type of signings. How James ever got signed by Man Utd is an indication of how poor and desperate their recruitment was at the time.

After some of the names we've been linked with, James does seem uninspiring, however history shows we've quite a good record of taking players deemed surplus to requirements from United and turning them into first team regulars.
Foxes96 Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Although predominantly a RW, Neres has appeared on the left on occasion, so could cover for Barnes as well: RW - played 124, 66 g+a. LW - played 41, 17 g+a. Get it done Rudders, Neres would bring real quality and if we could get him firing could be a world beater 2

James has one big asset, his pace, but he is a one trick pony. Technically he is average at best, and his final product is poor.

As I said, uninspiring signing if he's who we end up with IMO, but just pointing out how we've turned average looking Man United fringe / youth team players into much better looking players in the past. 1

Don’t necessarily disagree, however something we need to keep in mind that whoever comes in needs hit the ground running from day one. Lookman, Neres et al are probably going to need a months training before they are in a state to start matches. Dan James has obviously being playing for Utd since the start of the season and that’s a big plus for us IMO.
FoxesWalk Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 (edited) Blackwell rules out Neres. Looks like it will be a squad player for the left rather than someone good enough to be first choice on the right Edited 30 August 2021 by FoxesWalk

FoxesWalk Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 It is probably for the best that we didn’t sign this lunatic, but it could have been great.
