quickpassnmove 924 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 This would be a good way to piss a bunch of money away on a player that won't make a huge difference. A real CM and a real winger with pace, a real wing back are far better players to bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It would be like having Mata on the wing again. No... just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think it's Conte that is pushing for this move. I don't know what formation he will plan to put him in. Unless he goes 3-5-2 with James in the middle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Maybe we can strike a loan deal with Real Madrid for rodriguez its to much of a gamble buying him at £75m look what happen to Torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Could be interesting. Hazard on left and Rodriguez on the right. An upgrade over Willian and Pedro thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Why the hell would Man United be interested in James? They already struggle to play all of their attacking mids. As for us, I really wanted him in the summer before we really knew how Conte would line up. Now I'm not so sure we need him but you can never have too many great players in the marathon that is the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm dreaming? Could our 4 year struggle with right-winger/forward be over? After watching those last 3 games I'm even more assured that he is the player we need. We're solid like a brick wall, we need that one creative player more. We're that one signing away from being clear title favourite. We barely create, teams figured us out, we need special players to unlock buses. You can't do better than James in that regard. He is just through ball machine, every time he has the ball he looks for opening the space. He will find it cosy here having 8 players behind working for him. Does club want to leave the squad with barely 3 attacking midfielders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a suggestion on who should be bought as a RF/RW, but I want a fresh, pacey player who can also shoot and score. A player like Mane --if there are more out there, is a much better option than another attacking midfielder who was overpriced and hyped both before and after Madrid bought him. Seems to me that the player Conte wants will be able to play in the traditional trident or as a winger... IDK. James seems like a reclamation project to me, so this is not just about James' skills, physique, nor his position/where he fits; it's also his mentality and history. ---YES--- there's no denying Rodriguez is a player with great potential but that is something that is far from being realized yet.

Not to mention James work rate is shit. Id pick Berardi, Lemar, Payet or wait till summer and try Dybala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm actually worried to be fair. Watched his interview today, said he has offers and 7 days before giving a response. Reporter asked him "Can you assure the fans you're not leaving this winter? That you are staying in Madrid?" and James responded "No, I can not guarantee this." Also said: "I want to stay here, but does not depend on me only, there is other things, so I have to think about my future. I want to play more and I want to be here, but sometimes things do not work and if I want to play more then I have to think about everything and be able to find a way out." What a fucking way to be throwing the Oscar money away this would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
