ColombianBecause he‘s Columbian.
If, and only if, the values being demanded for the likes of Sancho and Grealish are too steep for the current times I'd consider loaning James from Madrid for a season.If I were United I would not sign him. He has a very high salary. He is slow for a top team in la liga, I imagine he would suffer a lot in the Premier.
Technically very good, but I think he would have to go to a smaller league or some Villarreal-type team (like Riquelme), where his contribution of talent was needed in free kicks, possession and assists with a strong midfield to protect him.
His contract ends in 2021 so can´t be loan. Some newspapers in Spain write that it´s almost done, although others said that Atlético still could be an option.If, and only if, the values being demanded for the likes of Sancho and Grealish are too steep for the current times I'd consider loaning James from Madrid for a season.
James would be a decent rotation option when Bruno needs a break. I also don't think, at his best, he would not be a bad option of the right to lighten the burden on Greenwood. You say he's slow but he's definitely quicker than Mata!
Still, at this stage, I would not be sold on a permanent deal. Maybe if we loaned him and he surpassed expectations.
As in done to Man Utd? That seems out of nowhere.His contract ends in 2021 so can´t be loan. Some newspapers in Spain write that it´s almost done, although others said that Atlético still could be an option.
Yes, as you say he could be a good substitute for Bruno. Pogba, Bruno and James in the starting 11 is not bad either.
For Madrid is a relief . A lot of money for a player who does not contribute anything.
You make it sound like its some normal ass city. The amount of money and infrastructure going in places like Qatar and Dubai is astronomical. Its a very very pleasant place to live and workSad really. He won't be earning peanuts in Miami either. Miami or live in the desert? Wouldn't be a tough decision for me.

He's a pigeon, then?Because he‘s Columbian.
I doubt he can be a squad option considering he would demand quite high wages. Never a good thing to have the more expensive players on the bench. They should be the ones you play regularly otherwise what's the point in investing in them?won't mind if it's for the right reasons. Aka...to add depth to the squad. I don't see him as a first 11 player. He's been overrated ever since "that world cup". He was Real Madrid's shiny new toy and never lived up to the hype. But as a squad player he can be a good option if the price is right. Would still rather get someone younger though...
If he wants high wages then I'd pass. That's why I said "if he comes at the right price". That doesn't just mean transfer fee. That's wages too. I wouldn't expect someone like Rodriguez to get more than 100k per week. If making less than that isn't enough for him, then he can go somewhere else...I doubt he can be a squad option considering he would demand quite high wages.

Then I think it's fair to say that you can forget about such a scenario. Apparently (according to https://wageindicator.co.uk/pay/vip-celebrity-salary/james-rodriguez) he is on close to £290k/week and I would be absolutely astonished to see a professional athlete (supposedly in his prime) to take more than 65% drop in wages to come to "sunny" Manchester.If he wants high wages then I'd pass.

He's definitely not worth anything even close to that. Has he ever been a starter other than in his first year in Madrid? He's a squad player, nothing more. The only way I see him starting is if he goes to a smaller club. Somewhere like Everton would suit him well...Then I think it's fair to say that you can forget about such a scenario.

Furthermore, if he is truly on that wages and takes such a pay cut, he is the stupidest man alive.
It the profile of player we want.If he can accept lower wages, what is the hurt in having him?
I just read he’s not wanted by Ole at all and it’s Mendes trying to dish him off. Where have you seen he’s wanted?In my opinion it makes sense why United are after him. He is at his best in the position Bruno Fernandez plays. United need a quality backup for Fernandez in order to maintain same tactics when he is injured/unavailable. James is cheap as his is unwanted at Real. Real usually players 4-3-3 and there is no room for a classic nr. 10. I am not sure if he will succeed at United, but I can understand why he is wanted by Ole. Adds to the squad dept.

He is a washed up Galactico. We have a core group of players who have just started clicking with a relatively inexperienced manager who is trying to bring back the ethos of the club. Going back to the galactic strategy will just bring us back to the post SAF years where we lacked a clear direction and just went after big names who would increase the profile of the club (supposedly).If he can accept lower wages, what is the hurt in having him?
Bruno is our farthest player in terms of pressing and he does it from front. James just wouldn't do it.In my opinion it makes sense why United are after him.

Hmmmm. He did at Bayern apparently. May not seem it but he is a workhorseBruno is our farthest player in terms of pressing and he does it from front. James just wouldn't do it.
