You're very misinformed on this topic and it explains a lot.

It's funny to see how he can just run through Pogba and Fred, whenever someone gets near him they just end up outmuscled and fall. Even AWB was having a hard time. But what's funnier is he has no end product at all. That spectacular run and he blasted the ball for a goal kick . Bodybuilder turned into a footballer.
. Bodybuilder turned into a footballer.Clearly enjoyed going up against Fred. Knew he could just walk past him.
If he actually had end product he'd be some player

Hes sorrounded by dogshit players. I want to see him in a good team
All Wolves did today was play the ball to him

Bar that he is exciting to watch.
People say he has no end product but he could have easily had three assists today if the Wolves players could finish.
Was absolutely phenomenal. You'll go a long way to see one player single handedly destroy a whole team to this extent. Unfortunately you have to put the ball in the net, most of which was not his fault but he had his own opportunities to shoot too, if he scores it's a 10/10 performance. Story of his career it seems.
People talk about end product but he created some very good chances today.
I'd definitely take him. His ability to take out half a team with his dribbling and then lay it off to a more lethal forward would be amazing to see when you have the likes of Ronaldo, Cavani, Bruno, Greenwood.

Tbh he's a brilliant player. Did want him here before Sancho arrived. Now we have that area covered, but he'd be great in a better team.
It works because the rest of Wolves team was literally 30 yards behind him waiting for a PogFred mistake. Nobody up the table plays like that.
Sure, he made a chance or two, but he cannot shoot for toffee and there was plenty of occasions today where he just ran with the ball and ended up losing it.
I’ve said it before — it’s the Jota’s and the Neto’s that end up getting big moves, the bigger clubs just can’t afford to take risks on a player as exciting but so profligate as Adama

Good at running past people.
Very good dribler and clever movements, but his poor shooting technique for a winger makes him a bit liable. Maybe the reason Nuno used him as wing back in a lot of games.
I hope today was enough to put to bed that ridiculous notion that Adama is just a strong Dan James.
Has his flaws but is a vastly superior player.

Agree, give him Kane and Son to play with and his end product might magically improve.
Not impressed, ridiculously oiled, always down.
The end product after his runs is low, injury prone

Feels like he's being controlled by an iOS app from the stands.
Adama Traore is unplayable - but for both teammates and opponents. He has scored 10 goals in over 130 league matches....10!!!!!!!
Dan James is prolific compared to him - that's how poor he is at finishing.

That pass across the area for their big chance..
How did he get it to bounce so many times before it got to his team mate?

Gasses as well with all that muscle. I think he could be a super-sub for a top side.
His play off the ball is criminal. Reminds me of Valencia but even worse in this regard, he should be scoring far more simply making runs in behind, attacking the far post, easy goals where his pace and power just give him bread and butter goals. Everything has to be the hard stuff for him, 50-60 yards driving runs bashing people out of the way which inevitably have him blowing up around 60 mins, the intensity of those runs with his physique is draining, amazing to watch, but he should be a far more effective player than he is.
It's not based on one match, though.
Exactly. I don’t get how people have such a negative bias against him. Yes, his end product isn’t great but on the transition and beating people he’s world class.
Should have become an athlete than a footballer
I neither like playing against him nor would want him in my team. He's chaos.

James has world class pace.
Quite right but based on this game, his end product was good. As I said, on another day, he could have had 3 assists.
Fun to watch, but essentially utterly pony at football.
James is nowhere near as effective as Traore. His ability to get past players is amongst the best in the world.
Which means feck all. You can beat people all day but that’s irrelevant if you can’t score or assist.
He has world class pace as a footballer. But he's certainly not world class at beating people. He's a knock and run player of the highest magnitude. There's no skill in there.
Is that a hint?
I actually think James’ pace is a bit of a myth. He’s quick but I’d say rashford is faster. And he barely ever beats defenders.
And they still haven't won this season. United had a world class finisher and a world class keeper, Wolves had Traore.
Totally disagree but there you go
Dan James on steroids.
