Ceretainly has pace to burn....so does Theo Walcott though. DO like to see these types linked as something different. Never seen him myself and what are we meant to guage from the youtube video apart from he is quick, half the footage seems to just be close ups of him running with the ball fast

It's not like some of our strikes are frequently playing wingers anyways, right?
One trick pony and not good enough. We can't afford to get this wrong again. We need immediate impact.
Which player can guarantee immediate impact? Falcao? Sanchez? You will never know wether a player will make immediate impact or not. Not even messi.

Good stuff
See no downside to it. Young british talent at very good price.
In before meltdown.
I like this signing. He looks an exciting young player.
You can't say this with any certainty.
He's a good player. I'm happy with this. £15m is nothing in this day and age.
I wonder how we view him? Loan back to Swansea or another club? A season in the under 23's? Straight into the first team squad?
James? So why not Zaha ?
Hmmm
So is this our new right sided attacker? because i'll be honest we need better. 4 goals this season for James at Championship level, we have no goals in our squad.
We have enough squad players, we need ready improvements to the first 11.

Welcome Jàmes
So it begins 
. Improve the first team we say. First signing. More squad players.

Because Zaha would cost at least 5 times as much.
I'm positive about this.
I remember when we were all laughing about Liverpool signing Southampton players...
...we aren't laughing now!
If our scouts believe in this lad lets give him a chance.
I thought it was supposed to be £10mill??
Have SSN been right about anything in the past 5 years?
He's going to turn into our very own Bale 
People always clamoring to sign the next "superstar"....
(i don't actually know much about him at all to make the above assumptions, but cheap, young, hungry British talent - decent punt)

Well - I was laughing about Ricky Lambert - not Virgil van Dijk
He has mostly played on the left side. He won't be first choice. He's versatile and quite young.
We signed enough players hoping for immediate impact, and have failed every time miserably. You need to have a solid foundation for players to come and make an immediate impact and if you haven't noticed, our foundations have crumbled in the last 7 years
P.S. Not relevant to this specific signing, but I prefer we much rather build for long term
This could be an interesting signing. Like others I wonder what our plans are for him.
Young English talent at a fantastic price, why are you trying to see a downside?
I very much doubt he’s been brought in as the answer to our right sided problems.
He won't be in our u23's. Either in the first team or loan.
We wanted Sancho but ended up with some winger from the championship. Either this is a masterstroke or we done went completely fecking mad.
Don't see how anyone can complain about this signing, young, cheap and talented. I don't think he'll be expected to make much of an immediate impact so I doubt he'll prevent us from making other signings in attack.
or you are overreacting. it's mostly the option third.
Smart signing. Stop with that proven bullshit. Sanchez and Lukaku were proven too.
One of the first smart signing since 8 years

Hes basically our best winger by default.
But it would be nice to have people who want to play with us, with the potential to improve and get better

If City or Liverpool signed him those same people would be complaining and asking why we aren't in for him.
Makes me think we are going to go big on another attacker. Dybala or Felix. The fact is we need more than one attacker.
5 goals and 10 assist in his first season for their first team is pretty decent output for a 21-year old winger in the Championship. Especially the pace merchant. If he is scouted properly then 15m represent a good investment on a decent punt. The type of signing we've made fun of Liverpool and Spurs of for making, but those players now have contributed to them overtaking us. I see no reason to be displeased at the idea of this, as long as he is not the only signing. People will probably get their panties in an uproar either way.
Exactly mate, he's an option. It's a great signing to start with.
Especially because I reckon Lukaku is off
It's obvious Sancho is going nowhere. How is taking a punt on a talented young English winger for 15m (cheap these days) "completely fecking mad"?
Why not wait and see what we do this summer instead of assuming things. For 15m I'd assume he's more of a project - certainly given what I've seen.
Whenever we miss these types like Ali, Robertson everyone complains and when we do take a gamble here comes more complaints.
For £15 millions - its Worth a gamble. At least he offers something we don't have today...So it begins
Same. I think Lukaku is off.
