There is a tendency to put any new signings as a'first 11' player whatever that means. I think vs a team that is parking the bus in OT with a low block it is pretty naive to think james will be an immediate starter over Mata at the right sided attacking midfield spot. Most games we will have zero space to attack.

Yeah agree with that. That's why it's better to take everything with pinch of salt.
Is this the same Ringo Starr that played for the Beatles?
The next Jesse Lingard
I'd forgotten who was our number 7, then realised I just commented on what a waste of money he has been.
Why do we have 0 space? Because Mata and Lingard are playing centrally. The entire right side is open, but our RW doesnt use it. So our fullback has to try and produce something. Valencia and Young are bad at it, Dalot has some potential but he's not going to produce like a winger.
So right away we have more space just by playing a Right Winger as a Right Winger. We havent done that since Moyes came in and signed Mata. Neither have we been very successful
That's reading too much into it. A potentially good player with some interesting attributes was available at a good price. That's it basically.
Someone please put a space in that thread title before I lose my damn mind.
I wonder if Giggs will be tempted to play Daniel James on one side and Bale on the other side... fullbacks won’t be enjoying this
How do you cope with "old men yells at cloud"?
Look forward to seeing Pogba spray passes for James
He doesn't have a clothing line to plug does he?
Go on lad!!! Looking forward to seeing him on tour.
Very exited for this. Not going to pretend to have watched him, but just judging from highlights he is extremely fast and seems to have very good work rate. He is going to rip some team apart on the counter.
Left footed Welsh winger! I'm shocked at the lack of lazy comparisons to Bale and Giggs
Cocks out
We're gonna win the league this year lads
Can't remember the last time we've signed someone for this kind of money. Hopefully he'll prove himself to be a bargain.
Except he’s right footed.
Fergie type of signing. Get in
Dalot last year.
What do you expect? The laziest player for us. Average 0 km/game run last season.
Blind fee was closer.
This is the kind of business we actuallyy need, make risks on the transfer market before they go to clubs that will ask fortunes.
Let's see if he will like to get fixed to the right, because If I recall correctly he's mostly a left winger, right?

Thought he meant young attackers.. we tend to spend big on that position rather than finding cheap young talent these days
Nice picture that goes with the announcement, mods.
I know Blind isn't superman but that was some bargain. How did we have the manager presumably best-placed in the world to utilise him and yet we still managed to utilise him incorrectlyBlind fee was closer.
Anyway, I'm excited to see what James can do. I pray his directness doesn't magically disappear when he starts playing for us. That'd be classic us.
Being right footed kinda fecks up that one I'd say.
Thanks for reminding me that I have a memory of a goldfish! Well, I'll forget that soon enough.
Weird that I haven't thought of him though.
Oh I read somewhere he was a lefty. My bad
Is he a Top.Top player?
Hope he succeeds. Good vibes
The window's not open yet. I here he's going to play the telyn.
Yeah the window is not open yet.
Running into a crowded box with pace and skill can put the fear of god in an average defence.
An actual winger. It’s been a long time.
He's the Welsh Bale! Err...Welsh Giggs! Err...just Welsh I guess.
He's a young talent. His attributes are there for all to see but the reason he is only £15m is that he is not yet the finished article. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a united shirt.
