[smiffy superbee]

UNITED WILL CONSIDER JAMES EXIT

Manchester United will consider allowing winger Daniel James to leave in this window.

A number of Premier League clubs have shown an initial interest in the Wales international.

I wouldn’t even start to estimate his wages at Utd but would suggest we’d have to at least double the current highest salary to get close to what he’d expect

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Can’t see where he’d play in our system. Would probably suit Mbeumo’s role very well due to his pace, but we’re not really in need of another attacker.

 

[nocoat]

Thats a long title...

Indeed ! Utter mess - now clean

 

[Peteseeger]

If he is prepared to eat humble pie, take a huge pay cut and see us as a stepping stone to resurrecting his stuttering career then a possibility; otherwise forget it.

 

[BEEcool]

And I thought my Harlee Dean suggestion last year was taking the p*ss.

 

[josht]

He's very good at running quickly. Not great at football though.

Makes poor decisions on the pitch, poor technique, etc.

? He’s a speed merchant but not a great footballer

Amazed Man U signed him to be honest - a real panic buy. Great goal v. Brentford that season, but stupid money based on a fast runner who could rarely beat a man.

I’m no particular advocate of his but at 23 he’s made 50 league appearances for Man U and started yesterday so he’s probably not bad even if not a top player at top 4 level.

 

[Mbee]

This looks like an Everton type of signing.

 

[Holysmit]

And I thought my Harlee Dean suggestion last year was taking the p*ss.

This is a poor suggestion. Harlee Dean is another level of terrible!

 

[Gee Bee]

Leeds wanted him and will probably go for him again

 

[BEEcool]

This is a poor suggestion. Harlee Dean is another level of terrible!

It was last summer (not this one) when Pontus was injured to be fair.

 

[Holysmit]

It was last summer (not this one) to be fair.

And we had all lost our marbles a bit due to lockdown!

 

[aawharris]

Chalk him up as another in the "Shaun Wright Philips" or "Aaron Lennon" mould.
Runs very fast, but ultimately has very little footballing ability.
Stand infront of him and he will run straight into you (very fast), but have no idea how to actually get round you.
This was shown in yesterdays game when he had two Wolves defenders i front of him and he just tried to run through them - he was left on his bum rather quickly and looked a bit stupid.

 

[RAF_Patto]

Can he play RWB or CB? No.

I'm out.

All full internationals ?

 

[WarrenBee]

He's a one trick pony.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Man United?! Wow I wondered where he’d been since he ripped us apart in that cup tie. Good move for him that, good luck to him. Looked like the new Nicky Forster/Usain Bolt.

 

[Silly Hat]

He's very good at running quickly. Not great at football though.

I‘ve double-checked, and can confirm that we are a football team rather than an athletics club. For that reason, James is ineligible for us.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Gilfy Sigardsonn (sp) has also left Swansea too I saw in the news recently. No wonder we keep beating them in play offs lately.

 

[red_and_white]

He can play better than what he’s given credit for, and he tracks back & presses very well. On the break very dangerous. His end product isnt top 4 level but is good .

I don’t think he’ll end up with us but I would be very pleased if he did!

 

[Nickabee]

We saw his future last week at Palace with Zaha - loose a tiny bit of pace and value drops like a stone. It’s a no from me

 

[andyrew]

That's as maybe, but the DOFs declared preference was for athletic players. I'm not for one minute suggesting that James would interest us btw. Ludicrous thread.

 

[aawharris]

All full internationals ?

Because they could run fast and their managers thought they "would add something different"

 

[Gee Bee]

Because they could run fast and their managers thought they "would add something different"

Exactly and James certainly does that and they’ll be plenty of suitors for him. Although it won’t be us

 

[Leonardo]

if we hadn't signed Wissa we would have been all over this. But would be surplus now

 

[gamidov]

Wages would be too much, and I doubt he'd want to come to us. also not what we need.

 

[Ealing Bee]

Oh sit down...

 

[nocoat]

Oh yeah ?

Hate to be the one to tell you, but there's a virus and a lot of panic coming to the county in a year or 2

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Looks like he’s off to Leeds

 

[Adam]

Media reporting James is going to Burnley as they need a pacey forward off the bench. But according to Twitter the Burnley fans are not sure he would come to sit down next to Mee.

 

[Silly Hat]

Oh yeah ?

Nope. Brentford FC were incorporated in October 1998. That plastic beer mat you showed dates before our current set-up, I believe ?

 

[AB]

Due to sign for Leeds in the morning for £24m.

 

[josht]

That is so much money. Slightly more than Onyeka and Ajer cost combined...

 

[AB]

That is so much money. Slightly more than Onyeka and Ajer cost combined...

But less than Said while having a lot of PL experience (though much less good obviously).

 

[shepperton bee]

As a footballer he’s a good 100m runner.

 

[rebus]

If he is prepared to eat humble pie, take a huge pay cut and see us as a stepping stone to resurrecting his stuttering career then a possibility; otherwise forget it.

Have you ever done that?

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Guardian reporting possibility of a £24m to Leeds.

Currently having a medical.

The man started for Man U at the weekend. Not really sure his career needs resurrecting.

 

[Peteseeger]

Have you ever done that?

No, but I know several who have

 

[LostBee]

So he goes to United for £15m 2 years ago and after playing poorly and eventually never getting a look in, his value has somehow still gone up by around £10m?!

Leeds must be demented.

 

[Crookedspirebee]

No no no no no!

They're in a relegation battle and panic buying.???

Alioski out, James in. Seems like a major improvement to me

 

[hanworthbee]

Yp right

As a footballer he’s a good 100m runner.

Right Old Forrest gump
