Who was the last player United signed from the championship or any lower domestic league that became a success? The odds are against him making it here. James is 21 going on 22 in a few months. Overmars was three years younger when Ajax signed him with way more first team experience.
I didn't claim James is two footed, I said he has a decent left foot/not afraid to use his left. I praised a few things about him, doesn't mean I don't think his game is mostly about his speed, doesn't mean I think he could be good enough for United. I predict he's going to flop, but will be pleasantly surprised if he doesn't.[/QUOTE]
What has any other player we signed from anywhere got to do with anything regarding James? Thats your weekest argument yet, which is an achievement in itself. Closely followed by "Overmars was three years younger" its real life not a computer game, players arnt tied to a certain development curve, the point is, Ajax signed a young flying machine with awful stats because they saw somthing they liked, just like we'r signing James because we see sumthing we like, it was an inspired move by Ajax, most people are willing to wait and see how it turns out for James.
You on the other hand, jump on anything and everything to try and prove he's rubbish. Even when his national team manager offers him glowing praise, you pick one tiny bit of what he said out, ignoring what was said either side of it (that selective reading thing again ) and try to turn it it into a negative. Like a child who'l stop at nothing to try to prove theyr right. I honestly dont believe you when you say you hope your proved wrong, you'l have your hand in your kegs the second he does sumthing wrong imo.
The stupid thing is, you dont need to,when he starts actually playing for us, we'l all see if he can be good for us or not, i know waiting for him to play games for us, before slating him any chance you get, might be a novel idea to you, but before Youtube, it used to be a decent way of judging a player.
Everyones entitled to there opinion and yours is as valid as anyone elses, but when start looking for negatives in absolutely anything about the lad, its like its an agenda and becomes boring.
And how can you say a right footed player has a good left foot, but not say theyr two footed?? Your good for a laugh if nowt else.
