He’s a Liverpool fan. He probably rather be at Anfield but we pay good money.
Is Daniel James set to become our best signing since RVP?
- Thread starter Shark
- Start date
Di Maria had 3 goals and 4 assists in his first 7 games (counting the 26.10.2014 as the last one). James had played in 13 games, scored 3 goals and made 2 assists. And Di Maria didn't have a pre-season tour with us.
That's not the point. The point is, you don't judge a signing after 2,5 months.
He's been getting plenty assists (some great one's against Liverpool and Norwich) and scored some beauties so if that's just pace, then more of the same please
. Wasn't Ronaldo just a show pony apparently back in 2004/2005? Give the guy a break.PS Zaha had his chance here, couldn't adjust and was too busy boning Moyes's daughter so its his own fault
He's been decent so far, uses his pace well and he's usually a threat. Great attitude, too.
But part of it is that it's a pleasant surprise; after all, he's a young player we signed for peanuts from the Championship. If a 60m signing delivered the exact same performances, we'd be a lot less enthusiastic about him because it would be seen as par for the course.
And yeah, it's very early to judge him as a signing.

He wouldn’t be walking if he did.
I just think the thread is abit OTT. Let the kid develop. We acting like he’s come here and been our Mo Salah. It’s embarrassing.
You're well 'ard
Ah,I see James has already been branded as nothing more than a speed merchant . The same lazy branding that was thrown at Valencia time and time again.
And Carragher is an Everton fan. What’s your point?
I created the thread as more a speculation, rather than a statement, based on what he's shown up to now. It's up to you rather you want to partake. Also he's 22, not exactly 18 and an actual kid.
You also don’t dismiss a signings attributes because it’s only 2.5 months.
He scores, assists, causes defences problems, works hard, keeps his head down. All the attributes I as a United fan look for in my teams players.
I’m delighted he’s here, even if it is after 2.5 months.
Better than Ronaldo or Keane?!! feck that is high praise. Buckle your seatbelts Caftards!!!
Yeah but no one is doing that.
Easy there mate, he's good but he isn't fecking Ronaldo
Nope. But he can break into the top 5 in the future.
1. Pogba
2. Martial
3. Romero
4. Blind
5. AWB

Bet you wake up on a morning and exclaim what a wonderful day it’s going to be and go to work with a smile on your face.
I want what you’re having.
Impressive. Break many legs do you?
You what? People were doing just that before we even signed him let alone before he played a single game. Some in the transfer thread were almost begging him to fail.
Edited my post moments after posting
A touch of objectivity and the immediate reaction is to accuse me of being a PR man.
And who did that? He's been very good so far and hopefully he'll become even better. It doesn't mean that he already succeeded here though.
Jesus, calm down lad.
Not sure if serious? I haven’t checked but would hazard a guess that James has more goals and assists than Zaha so far this season?
I do like Zaha though.
edit: just checked. He has three goals to Zaha’s zero. And 2 assists to Zaha’s 1.
I think he has been excellent considering his age and that most people expected just a pace merchant but he’s more than that.
I think he's shown from his crosses from the right side that he can be just as influential from either side. Given the link up play between Rashford and Martial, when everyone is fit they should be our front 3. Ole needs to use a 433 I think to get the best our of our squad.
That will be when he launches his scuba diving branded line.
Assuming we got Sancho I’d still want a James to start. He’s better than Rashford on the left.When we sign Sancho in the summer he'll become a squady
I would go further and say not going for expensive players. Plenty of foreign players who are showing quality before they get to their country top clubs, and we could had snatched them before too, otherwise we pay small fortunes.

Its funny looking back at some of the opinions after a few pre season games.

Is it compulsory in here to take a conflicting opinion as a personal insult? Surely we can just have a consensus on James that he's doing everything right so far. Gets his head down, works hard, provides a bit of quality when he gets the chance. That's a decent template for them all at the moment.
Well tone down on the mom jokes. You wouldn’t find it appropriate to say that to my face so don’t type guilt free over a forum. I don’t mind a joke but be mindful.
Either way James has a lot to prove. It’s far to early and he looks really raw.
Off to a great start but lets pump the brakes on the best ever nonsense. I do love the fact that he has improved already since the start of the season, making better use of the ball and improving his crossing being the obvious areas. At 15m he has already proved to be worth the fee as even if he does end up just a squad player that is still a cheap price and should we move him on at any point you would expect a profit. I do think he will stick as a regular starter though and I hope we take a few more punts like this because that is how you get a James Madison for 20m or Andy Robertson for 8m.
ok tough guyNot in the context of this thread though. The point was that you should not judge a signing in just a couple of months. No one is dismissing him now, in this thread, it's just a bit too early to call him the best signing since Van Persie.
(who only had one great season anyway)
I wish... I wanna be like you and drop mom comments.
For 15 million its hard to argue. Up there with Zlatan for me so far. I expected his pace, but his assist vs Norwich was entirely unexpected. We havent even seen that much of his pace showcased yet, and the lad can probably keep up with Mbappe. His goals were fantastic finishes too. There is much more to come from him if he keeps his head down.

Just like mom panties.
He's done well but has 2 assists in his last 9 games for us. Fact is that Norwich are in bad form and are stylistically perfect for us. There have been some wild overreactions to the game, this being one of them.

I think he's a better signing than RVP.
Heard AWB has a beautiful voice tbh so will be tough.
