Probably been posted before, but this is one of the better compilations of him. Looks electric. Played some games at RW too which is good to see. Can put in decent crosses and is right footed. Good buy as we lack depth and pace on the right
Daniel James | Officially Signs
- Thread starter Lash
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Mane still isn’t particularly technical at Liverpool, let alone at Southampton.
You wot? Mane is very technical.
Pretty much, basically the opposite of what Cafe Philosophers say, is normally true.
On an unrelated note, I really feel we should go for Ben Godfrey and/or Max Aarons from Norwich, would be similar signings to this one and they both have huge potential.

As long as i don`t have to see J-Lingz or Mata on the RW i am really happy to be honest.
Around 9/10 people in this thread have been positive about the signing.
Have a look at the video I posted a few posts back. He does a Bergkamp-esque flick/pass at 7:40 that is delightful. Certainly has potential in that department.
Not sure that's true.
What? You’re off you’re rocker
Excited to see what he can do. Hopefully not our sole ‘winger’ recruitment though.
The overwhelming majority have.
You have a knack for claiming everyone's being negative about something just because a few idiots are, is it so you can win positive brownie points or something?
Good fee, young, fast don’t see the problem with having a punt.
Big question is, will Ole call him Danny or Jamesey?
I think people would be more excited if his name was Danielo Jamesinhio coming from the Narnian premier league for 100m.
Excited about this signing. Not expecting him to be a world-beater but he's young and promising, and a nice, fresh addition to the side. Worst case, he's not very good and we sell him for a small loss. Best case, we got a bargain.
Yeah we really need to sign another right winger to ensure Dan James doesn't take minutes from a centre forward and CAM.
I'm concerned by your post . . . Deeply so
With the prices in the English game we won't really lose any money on this if it doesn't work out.
Yeah that's why everyone wants us signing players like Sancho isn't it?
Will be our best signing, ever. The scousers and citeh will rue the day they let this one go under their radar. I’ve just got onto my mate who’s a mason and he’s getting me a quote for his inevitable statue.
@Ban - Last 4 pages i've only 2 negative posts and 1 of which was a tongue in cheek comment. Maybe there were loads of negative posts first thing in the morning. *shrugs*
Might be more as I didn't show Ignored content mind you.

Two questions:
Why do we always seem to pay higher than the initial reported fee?
Will he go straight into the main squad or do people expect him to be loaned out?

Presumably as a Centaur forward?
The only reason posters make posts like that is so they look positive and everyone else looks negative. Self-glorification innit.
No he isn’t. Very good player of course though.
Okay.What? You’re off you’re rocker
. When do I vote for post of the year?You didn't follow this thread at all, did you? Most of the people are happy with it, some people will always moan even if we bring Messi in as it would hinder the development of our brilliant youngsters.
To be honest I think its something journos love to do with us. They either deflate the fee before the signing or inflate it afterwards. They also have some room to expand the fee via ambiguous add-ons that they most likely know nothing about.
And I think he'll be straight in the squad, be very surprised if he goes out on loan.
I get your point but not the best example. Sancho is an exotic name. I didn't even realise he's English until I checked
You're definitely talking nonsense in my eyes, but I don't want to derail the thread so if you think that then fine.
Good news. Hope the kid does really well. If he is technically sound, intelligent, rapid and works hard, then he will be a nice addition to the team. Even if he doesn't end up top class that combination in itself can make for an improvement in the squad.
Also the negativity here is tiresome. And without having seen much of the player as well.

Well that's one way of looking at it, another is he's being a drama queen.

that's true. I was going to say Hudson-Adoi there but that sounds good too..
Damn multi-cultural young English players.
At least Daniel James is nice and unappealing!
Did you see the Bayern goal? Dribbling at high speeds yet having great close control, finishing off both feet, is an example of good technique, only Hazard or Neymar are more technical wide forwards than he is.
Depends on your definition of ‘technical’. He can play across four attacking positions at a top tier level.
Ban, being a drama queen? Never.Well that's one way of looking at it, another is he's being a drama queen.
I still don't understand. Is he RW or LW? Right footed or left? From this video he is more like right footed left winger
Why did you make the post then? It's been proven to be bullshit. Did you just not bother to read the thread properly first?Yeah that's it. You got it.
It is a bit ironic you of all people hung onto my post.
