Feel like he’s covering the Ronaldo fee.
That’s a bit OTT.One of those players isn’t like the other……
Would like to see evidence of Dalot tracking back. I think Dan is a significantly better defender, probably should have been a wing back and not a winger anyway.Never thought James would make it at United. Yes, he is fast and he tracks back, but if that´s the qualities we need in specific games, just play Dalot instead.
You're only saying this because he looks like a gurning Tom HollandAs I said yesterday he has a Peter Parker likability about him but a Permanent transfer to Leeds makes sense for all parties.
It will be a loan I think...
Just circumstances, mate.It’s bizarre that a player we want to move on has started 2/3 games so far.
Has to be a permanent deal. A loan is absolutely pointless.Romano has stated Leeds are in advanced talks for permanent deal and not a loan.
Because he's fully fit and tactically a useful option. There was no way that he was going remain in the team with others finding form and fitness.It further highlights the lack of a plan to me though - if he's not part of our plans going forward (and he shouldn't be, unless as a squad option, but we are stacked) then why start him in 2/3 Premier League games so far this season. I hope, as some have suggested, this isn't covering the Ronaldo fee, but will actually contribute to the purchase of a CDM before the deadline.
Put him in the shop window maybe?It further highlights the lack of a plan to me though - if he's not part of our plans going forward (and he shouldn't be, unless as a squad option, but we are stacked) then why start him in 2/3 Premier League games so far this season.

I think it was 17 million unless i am wrong.I think £20m is fair it’s what he was bought for and he’s a better player now..
Sancho missed pre season, Elanga is injured, Rashford has just had surgery, Martial has been considered a striker.It further highlights the lack of a plan to me though - if he's not part of our plans going forward (and he shouldn't be, unless as a squad option, but we are stacked) then why start him in 2/3 Premier League games so far this season.

Well 15 + 3 but I think 20 is fair price.I think it was 17 million unless i am wrong.
I accept that point to an extent. The only big difference is Ronaldo coming in though. If James is the one to go, play Mata, play Lingard, play Pellistri, put Van de Beek in the starting 11. If Sancho isn't fit, then start with him and then bring on Elanga when he tires, if he's the one we want to develop. I just can't see how a player goes from starting two out of 3 premier league games to....not good enough - sold. If he's not good enough he shouldn't be starting those games. We have other options who will still be on our books.Sancho missed pre season, Elanga is injured, Rashford has just had surgery, Martial has been considered a striker.
Now Ronaldo comes in and Cavani is back we can expect to see more of Martial out wide and Sancho being introduced, along with Elanga likely being promoted to the developmental role.
It makes sense why you'd play a fit player over rusty ones.
James fit us well against Leeds to make them worried about his speed (and remind them of why he would fit their team). Against Wolves he was very useful defensively to help AWB cover Traore while our midfield was hampered by McT. recovering from surgery, and Varane/Maguire partnership having never been tested in a match before.I accept that point to an extent.

Well in fairness, I reckon Bielsa knows better than a load of inbreds.The chat on the Leeds forum now reflects James quality, most don't want him - he'd have been OK in the Championship but has no end product being amongst the most constructive points, £20M for that donkey!? Being amongstt the most negative!
