Really like him, think he would fit being a cm, simply because his only significant weakness is to cross and get past a defender, but he looks really tidy and neat, and he thinks before he acts. Couldnt say that of Clev, Hernandez.
Reece James
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Talk about knee jerk!
I don't disagree that he was at fault for a goal or that he didn't excel...but then no one did!
It was his first competitive start, in an unfamiliar role, in an unfamiliar system, surrounded by a lot of other poor performers. What do people expect?
Shit...if every time someone has a bad game or is at fault for a goal the answer is "let's send him on loan"...we won't have any players left.
Just let things take their natural course...if he is good enough for United then it will work itself out.

What's the craic with Reece? I'm assuming he is injured but anyone know for how long?
Started against Accrington in Lancs Senior Cup
Good to see him back. Unlikely to get any 1st team games though with Shaw, Rojo and Young ahead of him for either the WB or FB position, hopefully we loan him out

Makes sense... he needs first team games, and has very few of those.
Doesn't come across as a super talent, but is technically and tactically sound I think. I can see a player like Daley Blind as a sort of template he could aim for.
I like watching him play. Very clever and very agile player. Reckon he'll make a handy defensive mid in the future.
Yeah I hope he is used in a DM/CM role, I think he has a lot more potential there.

Future as a DM at United?
Hopefully that means Shaw's injury isn't so bad.......otherwise i'm a bit surprised about this loan deal

Pretty sure this has been in the works from well before Shaw was injured, and if they'd decided a loan was the best thing for him they'd be unlikely to make a snap-decision to cancel it just so he could fill in for a few games. They always take the long view with youngsters.
Good move for him, needs some first team football to kick on and get better. Plus we have Rojo, Blackett and Young to cover at LB if Shaw is out for a bit longer.
They could aways play Blackett at LB or even Vermijl so it's better to let James getting experience elsewhere.
Good, about time some were going out on loan. Was wondering why he wasn't playing yesterday.
James played 90 mins for Rotherham on the weekend vs Blackpool, seems to have had a good game too
MoTM today vs Nottingham Forest.
Great news. I'd love to see him as back-up (and competition) for Shaw in the future, and I think he has the ability. Vital that he keeps impressing if he wants to get the chance.
Playing as a LB or CM?
LB by the looks of the match report
According to the mail he's been recalled with a view to selling him
The loan was till 10th Jan. So him being back is not a surprise.
Apparently Rotherham want him back on loan.
The Mail with their usual bs.. that said, won't be surprised if he was sold.

Since when do you have to recall players to sell them? Didn't Michael Keane get his move while still out on loan?
We can't sell him to other club than Rotherham anyway.
Why?
Cause he can't play for more than two clubs in one season and he played for United in League Cup.
Look at Ben Arfa. He played for Newcastle reserves, yet FIFA blocked his move to Nice.
Only applied for foreign clubs I think.Lawrence played for Carlisle,Yeovil and us last season.
Well, you have a point.
But official regulations are:

page 9
I may be wrong, but I understand only exception is if he was playing for some Russian or Ireland side, which he did not.
Did you just discover us breaking the rules last season?
Don't think it applied for domestic loans there has been numerous cases about players going on loan for 2-3 different clubs over a season and even played for his parent club.Well, you have a point.

Yeah, but wasn't Ben Arfa at domestic loan at Hull? Not to mention he only played for Newcastle reserves which aren't even official, yet he was banned for half a season.
If he moved to Nice then it's not "domestic" anymore.That's my guess.Otherwise we would have been banned after playing Michael Keane in the Reserves then sent him on loan to Derby and Blackburn last season and even put him on the bench under Giggs.
Are they classified as youth loans? That may be why it was alright for them. I don't think being a foreign club has to do with it because from what I read Ben Arfa wouldn't be allowed to play for another English club either other than Newcastle or Hull. Weird rule anyway.
seen on pictures from training, I think one of him and Pereira will make the bench if Blind's out of the game.. James could do wel in that holding role, he's played there many times and did well..
Could be the right time to give him a go against Preston, surrounded by more experienced heads. If not Pearson then he is the next best option.
Might get a game at DM if LvG wants to give Blind a rest? I'd give him a chance a LB in the Preston game.
Maybe by some miracle, Thorpe might get on the bench even!

Another evidence that you shouldn't trust The Mail.
Is there a difference between extending your contract and signing a new contract ? I'm wondering if extending implies "on the same terms" ?
