Hopefully he isn't the Welsh Dennis Rommedahl

I’d prefer Kieran Tierney and Daniel James.
Anybody got a compilation of him against city this year?
He also went two season with losing every game he played and nearly being loaned to Blues. So if you don’t mind sticking by this kid if he has to go through that first. I can’t argue with you.
I saw him score that one goal vs City. That was good I guess.
I don't think we are talking the same level of potential as Bale though. Gareth was scoring from free kicks and things very early on.

A decent player at 15 million is a low risk and high reward signing. Just get it done else others will come sniffing along. How I wish we had sign Lucus Moura for 25 mil. People were writing him off and guess what hat trick to help Spurs reach CL final.
Yes, but surely we shouldn't be held to ransom. Desperate or not, why should we spunk all our money on one player?
Best piece of business we've done in 30 years
Will get people off their seats at any rate.Whoaaa.. That's crazy shit acceleration and speed
Dortmund have numerous times. There's no indication the move is on. There's three parties involved in a transfer and this move would only really make sense for us at this point.
I’m heartened to see us going after someone who could be the new Gareth Bale rather than that guy who actually is Gareth Bale.
This is exactly what our transfer policy should be this summer. We've been doing more or less the opposite since Ferguson retired and it's been an absolute disaster.
He's lightening fast but (and I can't stress enough I'm basing this solely on this video) his final ball looks pretty bad.
I quite like this compilation of his performance against Slovakia. Shows 2 good feet, not afraid to shoot with either.
I say sign him. We dont have a backup left winger. Think how hungry he will be.
Hes the sort of player we need. Had anyone heard of Ronaldo before we signed him for 12m? He took a few years to develop.
We need to stop this ideology of signing massive players. Look at falcao and sanchez and di Maria. All been no good and cripplingly expensive. I see people talk up bale to man utd - will cost a fortune in transfer fees, wages. Is crocked and diminished. For 30 odd million we could have tierney and james to rotate with shaw and martial down the left.
We talk about the future and a mass rebuild and theres no way we can do it by signing ten 100m players. De Ligt and Sancho are two i would like to see but they would cost about 200m for two players.
And this talk of signing big proven players who have to make an impact straight away - whats the point? What have the big expensive proven players done over the last 6 years? We’re talking like we are at the top and need to stay there when in reality we are shite at the moment

So it's Giggsy who's planted this seed?
Excellent news.
The first of many many steps into the right direction.

Yeah, he was one of the highest rated teenagers in the world at the time! I agree with the rest of your post though.
If anyone can judge a winger it's Sir Ryan if Giggs
Glad to see our wicked web spans far and wide.
This why I am not even crazy for the Sancho or Felix ideas, this is not a team right now that is a good fit for young players who will have too much weight put on their shoulders, the only U21 exception for me would be De Ligt.
Or his agent puts stats of him to Giggs and Beckham.
Makes Rashford’s control look like Ronaldo R9.
I don't know anything about this guy but I'm glad we're going for this profile of signing
young, cheap, potential
had enough of overpriced signings who only join us because we pay the most

I think he meant he shagged his mum
Then we'll soon have a sequel to Paddy Power's advert featuring Daniel James father.
Let me rephrase, I think He was highly rated but in terms of a ‘could be something’ player. Im saying what he had was potential - he wasn't already a ballon d’or winner.
James has potential, so lets see where he goes! Not saying he's the next ronaldo, but, giggs and henry never won the ballon d’or. Id take another giggs at this time! Plus giggs is his international manager and could put a word in.
If he can work on that, this lad would probably be unstoppable.
I'd love us to take a punt on him.
"DDG set up a counter attack with long throw to James... Three players against their two centerbacks.. "
Who am I kidding. DDG doesn't do long throw. And our attackers would throw ups at the thought of keeping up with James.
Looks rapid as feck. If he learns how to play football as well this could turn out quite decent.
Delete this now. You'll jinx us all.
Are people excited about this?
I don't see how they could have been much worse than our first team players over the last couple of months, the performances have been a complete disgrace.
Again, sarcasm duly noted, but Mata not being a great fit on the RW doesn't make this kid a good buy.
We've been crap since the second leg vs PSG, Rashford and Martial in particular have been turd, there was plenty of chances over that period to give Greenwood or Chong games, Greenwood hasn't been injured that whole time.
I have nothing against pace, I personally don't give a shit about getting in a winger right now as I think we need to refine the diamond and improve the fullback's, however any winger I do rate has pace, the problem is all the kid has is pace from what I can see, he's not got great footwork or skill, he shoves it past people and runs really fast, and his delivery doesn't look all that good either.
I am not saying he is the new Ronaldo - but if I was a back with that guy running at me, I would be afraid. My God he is Quick!
No I’m not. I think we should spend 130 million on Bale
Seems an intelligent signing to me. Young, hungry, cheap, won't be on high wages so risk free basically. Lightening quick, can play both wings, dribbles with either foot. Full backs won't like facing him. If not first choice next season he can definitely be good back up and push the starters to ensure they don't slack off. We badly need depth in wide attacking positions. Signing or promoting youngsters with potential is the correct why to get that imo.
Eh ?
Meep meep
Aye.
