James Rodriguez| Is considering his options

Don't want.
Good luck moving him for 80mil!
Would prefer Isco but wouldn't turn him down if the sums and playing plans/style for next season sit well with him.
I'd prefer Isco as well.
I've no clue as to their abilities, I just like the name better.

He's the Colombian Poborsky.
If Jose comes we will hear no end of this in the press
Haha me too. Except I prefer Hames (James) Rodiguez's name.
Might aswell rename us Mendester United ahead of next season. He's going to be running the show at this rate.
18 goals in 52 matches last season
7 goals in 25 matches this season
for 40m its worth a punt

Maybe as a 10 with a free role? I cant see that suiting a Mourinho side but he is a fantastic talent who could replace Rooney as the face of our media deals.
Isco himself hasn't been anything special. It's as if people have a fixed opinion of a player from a few years ago and it does not change regardless.
At least James has these moments of genius while Isco has been nowhere quite frankly.

Oh and isn't it James that is always out getting pissed? Tells you everything when Madrid can't even put up with it.
He's got some awesome clients so I wouldn't be too bothered.
Not a fan.
He'd be an upgrade over Lingard/Mata/Rooney at no.10, would easily be our best option at RW too.
Having said that I'd still prefer Griezmann/Mahrez.

Quite similar to Bale. Good first season, tapered off towards the end and haven't recovered since.
His talent is undeniable though, but United and South Americans just don't mix

What is the fascination with Isco on this forum? Rodriguez is a much better player.
He isn't a winger. Real want to "recoup" the fee they paid. 
I read the title as Wenger. 
hell no!
hell no!He is brilliant. Go for him.

Martial----Rodriguez----Dembele
-----Gundogan--Schneiderlin----
This should win a title or two with Mourinho I would think

He is class act, but the only position where he really excels is the 10 spot, with freedom to roam around.
Him with a mobility front 3 like martial, rashford and lingard could be lethal. He has eye for a pass and have eye for goal. And we lack both from midfield.
this would put a halt to the future chances of Pereira making the first 11 though
For the right price (40M pounds top), i would really like him.

Class player. Sign him up.
Well wouldn't be the first time would it. Last time he ran the show we was lifting titles.
James is better than Isco, the Cafe just always seem to create a darling and don't let it go. Toni Kroos was the best centre midfielder in the world 2 years ago on here. Would never of guessed it after recent links.
Found him overrated ever since the World Cup. I would be surprised if we let Real Madrid use us for financing once more.
What exactly are the strengths in his game? I haven't watch him near enough to provide any sort of analysis in this question. Is he quick- both in terms of pace and agile dribbling ability? Can he actually play as a creative #10 or is a he glorified second striker who finishes things off in the final third like Mata currently does?
Exactly the figure I had in mind.
Best thing about him is his long range shooting ability. Other than that, he hasn't got any other special traits. He's an ok player but not really great.
Honestly, I dont think we should be going for Barca, Munich or Madrid players unless theyve said its their dream to play for us. I know they have good/great players, but if those clubs dont want them, there must be a reason.
We should be going for hungry players who could use the platform we can provide to turn them into better players who will defo improve our first 11 (players like Martial tbh).

Only if we let Mata go and if he's available for less than £40-45m. In fairness I'd rather him than Mata !
Is it contract renewal time?
Brilliant player but recouping the full 80M?
Errrrr no thanks.
Errrrr no thanks.
IMO you could "compare" him to Beckham
Worse crosses, better asisting from a centralized position
Worse work rate, stronger physically and better finishing with his head
He's a great player, but not worth the 80M figure, that's what you pay for a leader, a guy to build the team around him and I doubt you can be a top dog playing with James as your star player
Would go for him without a doubt to be the #10. Some proper top class quality in there to play alongside Martial and whoever else we sign (ibra ). People who are saying no thanks are mad... We literally have lingard being pretty much an automatic starter. Like he has done okay but in no way is he good enough to be first choice at a club like United. Also with no CL next season, we would be lucky to get someone anywhere close to his ability. Griezmann is the ideal player for that, but he is unrealistic. So James is probably the next best.
Isco is the more silkier player, more like david Silva, while James is the more effective player while being more of a mata type, just more mobile and more of a threat from range.

Will he displace Fellaini from the starting 11?
If so, then yes, I want him.

I would compare him to KDB personally
Yes, let's give them 80M for a player that has underperformed all season... It sounds so stupid that no doubt Woodward will do it.
If we want to spend 80m on a player we should go for Griezmann.

He's class and obviously a very logical transfer should Mourinho arrive and Mata leaves.
Don't say that, because Ed might just fork that out in his desperation to land a "galactico".
