Dan James

I see Man U fans aren’t too enamoured with Dan James. Given how keen we were to get him before Swansea started playing games, any thoughts on another punt for him? Obviously Bielsa rated him the first time.

I'm not sure that many fans blamed Radz and Orta for the James transfer falling through.

James was at ER having photos taken with his new shirt - Swansea and James had obviously accepted our offer, but the Swansea owner changed his mind at the 11th hour.

Blame lies with Swansea for not negotiating a proper price in the first place.

If we had got him and gone up he would have had to play in our team!..

He's good enough for the Premier, problem for him going where he did was trying to take a place of the quality that team has!..

Its not going to be easy for anyone outside of a "proven world class" player to drop straight into their team, hopefully we'll have that problem in the next year or two!..

I thought he'd more likely be competition for Jack H rather than Poveda?

Quick and skilful, it's just a shame he didn't come to us when originally pursued. Given a bit of MB's magic development dust, he could be some player, I just don't see him arriving anytime soon, if ever.

I'll get slated for it - but possibly a better player than Harrison on his day.

I'd rather we use poveda as our back up

On the left we have alioski and dallas who can play there

Truth is that we don't need anymore left sided wingers and we have a limited budget.

Seems we are back in for Ryan Kent.

-----------------

yeah agree on his day, but think Harrison's all round game slightly better - not as quick, but a lot stronger and more assured on the ball I reckon... not at all dissing James, I had him in my FF team at start of last season, got some decent points to be fair

It's all academic as I just don't see us attempting to get him (James). I'm more than happy with Harrison, especially if he can develop even more under MB.

We've got more pressing areas to focus on - i.e. defence and strikers …….

It was a bad move for him in terms of football development, never going to be good enough for a team at that level yet.

I wouldn't want him now though, we don't really need him.

As a right winger there is no place for him with Raphinha

If I am honest he has electric pace but lacks skill to get past a player. I said to my sc+m mate he may be better playing as a RB or RWB where he can run on from deep to use his speed to better effect

I can’t comment enough on whether he has the defensive skillset for that and he is quite short

For us there is no way he gets in ahead of Ayling
