Tbf to him he came for relative peanuts from the championship and its not worked out. Clearly not Utd quality.
A good squad player helps the first team or can effect a game even 1 game out of 4, James doesn’tFootball fans...goodness me. Give the guy a break. It’s his first full season in the top flight, he’s a squad player and a good one at that.
He’s a player making a massive step up, we saw some of his qualities earlier in the season. I’m not saying he’s going to be a superstar, and clearly he needs to improve.Squad player who can’t control a ball? He doesn’t run at defenders. Barely can pass. What’s he good at to justify being a squad player? So tell us why he’s not useless? Without the usual he’s young and second season. Tell us his good qualities.
He’s not literally useless. This is only his second Full season as a pro. He’s played too much this season. He’s a squad player, he will come back stronger.
Agree with thatHe’s a player making a massive step up, we saw some of his qualities earlier in the season. I’m not saying he’s going to be a superstar, and clearly he needs to improve.
He’s clearly better on the left and isint a striker which is what he was being asked to do today.
This season will have done him a world of good in the long term. We can only wait and see. I’d rather we don’t throw all our young players under the bus all the time.What makes you think he'll come back stronger?
Everything I've seen from James suggests that his first few games were a purple patch.
I think step 1 is that he should never be a starter. His only asset right now is pace and that needs to be used against teams that are getting tired and sloppy.Maybe we get a surprise turn around next year, but I really don't see how he makes the grade here for a team we have the ambitions of being.
He's poor technically and tactically. Pretty sure we have better players in the academy. We should get rid for what we bought him as soon as we can.He’s not literally useless.

Assuming you mean Sheffield Wednesday?Would see if Sheffield want him on loan.
He’s not ready for United
Which Sheffield?Would see if Sheffield want him on loan.

I get we were playing for a counter and press-the-back line today, but I would have easily played Mata or Ighalo over him and adjusted tactically.I think step 1 is that he should never be a starter.

Hopefully we can make some good additions this summer and that substitute role can be his. Otherwise he has no future here in his current state.
I said the same the other day, whatever you think of Jesse Lingard he has twice the football ability of Daniel James, I have no idea why he's still starting.I saw someone write in the match thread that he’d rather have Jesse on than James and that one sentence pretty much sums up how poor he was. Looked like a Make a wish kid today getting to play with his footballing idols.

I assume you mean Wednesday because he’s not getting near Sheff Utd’s first team.Would see if Sheffield want him on loan.

People keep saying squad player. But don’t exactly say why?In games that are tight, the inches matter. Himself and Brandon Williams were both weak links in our team.
I would keep him as a squad player.
Absolutely, Ighalo should have been starting that. He can at least hold up the ball. James is quick but he's not rapid. Chelsea's fresher defenders had no trouble handling him.I get we were playing for a counter and press-the-back line today, but I would have easily played Mata or Ighalo over him and adjusted tactically.
Because we are rebuilding, and with the likes of Mata and Lingard likely to leave, we can’t get rid of everyone.People keep saying squad player. But don’t exactly say why?
I am sure we got better players in the academy than James. So tell me his good qualities? You still haven’t told me what he’s good at.Because we are rebuilding, and with the likes of Mata and Lingard likely to leave, we can’t get rid of everyone.
James should be leaving before Mata and Lingard.Because we are rebuilding, and with the likes of Mata and Lingard likely to leave, we can’t get rid of everyone.
Sell him now and get a decent fee whilst we can.James should be leaving before Mata and Lingard.
