A better player than who I said he was a better player than - Anthony Martial. I think Mané is better than him despite Martial being technically better.

Another left sides player? 
Seems like a triple signing of De Ligt, Wan-Bissaka and James for next week then lads 
Could be the hold up in announcement. Hang on a little more muppetsSeems like a triple signing of De Ligt, Wan-Bissaka and James for next week then lads
Yedlin was rapid, but he never took of in the premier league. I hope this kid, has more in his locker than his pace. Against teams that park the bus, I feel that he will be useless. I hope he proves me wrong.
This.
Ok, they'll both be playing in the same team so we'll see.
Make him a permanent fixture on the left this season, mixing it up with Sanchez (if he doesn't go) and give martial the Number 9 shirt. (Lukaku can play play in the reserves)
Better than playing strikers like martial and Sanchez on the left.Another left sides player?
Exactly, a genuine winger will help us so much going forward.
Anybody else feeling a bit underwhelmed?
Yes, I totally agree. We need to be taking advantage of every transfer window. Taking a couple of punts on hot prospects from the championship should be the least we do. Let the scouts do their job and bring them in... They might take their chance, they might not. This type of player could be moved on after a season without much risk at all. Bottom line, United need to much more active in the transfer market. Players in, players out. At least for the next 3 years while the rebuilding process is happening.
Wouldnt you have said that a year ago about Maddison? Now he's one of the best AMs in the premier league
But hold on, you never said that his main game isn't being technical especially in comparison to other players. You just straight up said that Mané isn't very technical. Which isn't true, because his technique in most cases is very, very good.
Anyway, lets shut up about Mané in a thread about James.
Boom!
On to the next one

one of the reason why our team is not effective is not having anyone other than rashford to provide off the ball attacking runs, mata etc even if he is running can be caught up. Hence its easy to defend by doubling up on Rashford, putting this guy in will push defenders 2 yards back fearing his speed and that should open up space for other players. May also see Martial getting bit more space to run when eventually ball reaches him, Martial still lacks off the ball movement for a top player.
What exactly were you expecting?
Pogba over the top to James could be a lethal combination against teams playing a high line.
The window just started. In upcoming weeks we'll hear about next additions so not really disappointed just yet.
Carrington, they now do them in-house
No, We signed him to replace Ashley Young and We'll move Dalot to right wing.
A low risk signing. If he does not make it here we can recoup most money when we sell him on. I am happy that we sign a pacy winger, hopefully we can develop him into a classy player.
Pogba pinging the ball all the way from Turin/Madrid and James still getting on the end of it
No. I didn't expect to sign Neymar from Swansea for 15m
Who benefits from it being a small fee besides the Glazers?
What's he doing at Liverpool Airport
Also, it's called John Lennon Airport (being the only vaguely interesting Scouser ever).
He plays on both sides.Another left sides player?
Who, Mané and Martial?
I wish the CAF had an applause icon. Your post is very sensible and realistic.
Great video. I feckin love this type of signing. Unproven, untested, but bags of potential and light on the pocket book. This signing is showing a ton of shrewdness from Ole... If he can continue to demonstrate such shrewdness the rest of this transfer window, and get them integrated well into the team, I can see Ole doing very well.
Fixed.
Much like our transfer negotiations our announcements are drawn out as well.

Low risk? If you make 5 signings of this level, chances are you get 3 Bebes and 2 Powells. So you are able to move them on at a small loss, but overall you will still have a large loss.
Small risk is a better description.
I will be a huge fan of this signing for multiple reasons:
-It addresses a need position for us on the wing
-James has tons of pace and also some great combination play capabilities that hopefully will sink well with Shaw or new rb?
-We are buying a player with a lot of upside potential without paying a crazy fee.
I'll be very happy with this piece of business and hope its the beginning of a host of young, hungry new signings that are ready to be part of the rebuild.

It will be interesting during pre-season training and when they start to measure each player's speed.
James v TF-M would be a cracker.
Well he's lightning quick. And with Rashford upfront could be the cutting edge we need up front.
Not low risk, but small risk. Okay Cpt. Pedant
I'm just glad we finally got a James, not the one I really wanted (Rodriguez)... but a James nonetheless.
Zaha is a pretty tall and muscular fella who takes the fight to the CBs with some excellent hold-up play. He's lethal around the box too. More of a forward than a winger these days. He's not a speed merchant by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't see the comparison with James in any way. They play in similar positions but quite different players. I'd be happy if James turns out as good as Zaha turned out to be. Ecstaticf he gets even better than that.
