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 

[Parky 739]

Could be interesting. Hazard on left and Rodriguez on the right. An upgrade over Willian and Pedro thats for sure.

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. 

[Styles 9,790]

Too slow.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

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?

Sadio Mane is a better player for that.

I would much rather a Mane type player coming in than a failed galatico.

What are you suggesting?

If we can get rodriguez on loan I'm all for getting him I would like to try him out before buying him

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.

He might be good against park the bus teams, but I rather see that we buy quick winger who can score on regular basis.

Not to mention James work rate is shit. 

Id pick Berardi, Lemar, Payet or wait till summer and try Dybala.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

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.

Can't be slower than Alonso

[Rekin 835]

He is slow, but then again we have had quite a few problems over the years against teams that park the bus. Often we find ourselves not having much space to exploit with pace, and in those cases we need players who can create something from almost a standstill position. I do not doubt that we would benefit from his presence, but he feels like a luxury purchase. 

[Jase 43,479]

Maybe a loan deal with an option to buy would suit everyone?

A loan would work for me. I'm very doubtful of the guy. He sounds like our very own Useless Memphis waiting to happen.

[Namika 922]

James Rodriguez is a top class player, just below the Eden/Neymar/Bale class, look at his World Cup or his first year under Carlo with Madrid.
