I thought we’d get roundabout £15M-£20M for him. But if it is £30M then that’s an incredible deal.
Yeah, great bit of business. Signed for 20m, sold for 30m two seasons later.I thought we’d get roundabout £15M-£20M for him. But if it is £30M then that’s an incredible deal.
I think Leeds have made a massive mistake. He is indeed championship material. Great business for united!30m. Quite a price tag for a player considered by many on this forum as a "championship player". There's been a good few very good players moved in this window for less than that.
Watch him become sick as feck after 6 months with BielsaGreat business and a great move for James. He'll enjoy life at Leeds and I'm sure he'll continue to be a premier league player. Best of luck to him, the right time to part ways.
I'm seeing 28M Euros, but yeah, still a bit of an overpayment I'd say. But he'll probably excel better with Leeds rather than usI thought we’d get roundabout £15M-£20M for him. But if it is £30M then that’s an incredible deal.
I would say that he did fulfil modest expectations and has proven to be a tidy bit of business. The squad has improved greatly this season and he clearly was out of his depth but during the 19/20 season we needed him a lot and he chipped in with a couple of valuable goals and assists and I can't recall him ever making a critical mistake or costing us a game. Last season he had that purple patch in the Spring when we were again down to bare bones and that again was valuable but now the clock has run out. If we sell him for the fee quoted he has been a qualified success for us and hopefully we have a sell on clause in there too.£30m is an incredible fee by our standards. Ed must be trying to get us to beg him to stay.
James came with modest expectations and didn’t fulfil them. Good luck to him all the same.
If true, everyone needs to suppress their urge to piss on him.Woodward is on fire.
Nonsense.30 million for an average championship/league one player
Greatest deal ever
Think both players are leaving, but if I had to choose between them today, I definitely would’ve sold James before Lingard. James’ last matches shows he’s pretty far from being United quality. In the end it was a little bit embarrassing to watch him and I felt sorry for him. He is a speedy hard working player and seems like a loyal person, but that’s not enough to play for United.It's insane that a player who has actually been solid for us gets sold and the likes of Lingard are still around. I suppose it's due to Dan James having a market while Lingard doesn't have one, but nonetheless, I would've rather sold Lingard for less and kept James for squad depth.
ZZZZZ all the tactical analysis, the guy cant pass, has awful decision making, poor technique. Nearly any club he goes to he is going to get more space to run into as teams are less likely to put players behind the ball, but if there is no end product, he is still going to be a poor player. Never was a fan of Lingard, but he has always had very good movement and awareness even when he was here and his technique is decent, he just was quite good enough here to fulfill the earlypromise, different propositions totally for me, James was never anywhere near good enough to be a Man Utd playerPlaying vs 2 blocks of 4 for us vs playing for Leeds where they are attacked much more and in turn have plenty of open space to work with are 2 very different propositions. Lingard for example showed how someone whk looks clueless for us can do very well at a mid table club. No guarantees in football but given his playing style, Leeds will suit him a lot more than us.
Was he? He was no more than decentWell that's simply only true with hindsight. And a lot of his best performances have been for Wales - he was REALLY good at the Euro's. Unusual for us to turn a profit on any player.
But Rashford does exactly the same 90% of the time.If he was like 19 or 20, i'd risk sticking with him with the hope he improves, but at 23 he's probably never going to turn into a top player.
Its actually embassassing watching him when he gets the ball, puts his head down, and runs into defenders. Not Utd quality.
Really? Absolutely night and day difference in the dribbling ability of the two.But Rashford does exactly the same 90% of the time.
and he actually has to want to leave. Looks like he's too comfortable here.Someone has to actually want to sign him.
I like Bielsa but he’s not going to work any miracles on Dan James.Nonsense.
Bielsa will turn him into a decent player and he'll be a well-feared Premier League winger in 2 seasons.
