Then who gets the goals when Costa gets injured & Hazard hasn't got his shooting boots on? Matic? Kante? Willian? Pedro? Of course we need more attacking options, we have the least out of all top 5 teams in all the top 5 leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about our shape should he be coming in for Matic. We'll see anyway, but if we were concerned about that then surely Pedro is the one who should be replaced with a goal scorer.

He went from WC hero and first very good season at RM to bench warmer who cant get ahead Vazquez or Asensio. Its kinda sad because he has talent, but Zidane seems to know what hes doing and if he values James so little...I have feeling if he was that good, he would utilise him by now. Perhaps James will shine again or his peak was WC 2014 and will do a Robinho if he comes to PL. Apples and oranges? One was approaching his 30s, had his injury issues and the performance level was already dropping. The other is only in mid 20s, yet to approach his peak and already shown what he can do under the right manager. This whole 'He's a Real Madrid reject! We shouldn't buy him!' argument is a bit silly really. The likes of Real, Barcelona and Bayern Munich always have a squad filled with many quality players and some are bound to get underused more than others. Just because some aren't playing much for those 3, that doesn't mean they are useless and aren't any good. Have people forgotten what happened with Makelele? Undervalued, under-appreciated at Real but we bought him and he ended up being a world class player for us. Sanchez is another example and hell, we should know ourselves too after what happened with De Bruyne and Mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greatest national side of all time. That is smart marketing. None of them start for Brazil anymore. I don't even think Oscar played in the last 2 qualifiers.

LAM09 7,069 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I personally don't think him coming would be good business for us. Better options in market that suit out needs instead of a luxury buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Marca reported that James has a buyout clause of €500m, but that Real would be happy to recoup the €80m they paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Rodriguez, he's in his mid 20s and hasn't even peaked yet. If Conte believes he's the guy to help improve us, then so be it. His Liverpool stats were outliers for his career. Way up on his AM days. Tailed off at Liverpool before we bought him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I would gladly have switched Oscar for James before, so technically I should be ok with 60 million pounds for him. However, I do not believe that it is a fair price at all. Anything within 35-40 is acceptable in my book, otherwise I would prefer to splash the cash on some of these up-and-coming CM/DM's that are popping up. Its not like Oscar was ever an amazing RW anyway. I do not believe it will happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 One player we have been crying out for ever since Eden came is a relly good RW. Just try counting how many we have had just since Eden came. A few eh. Its time we got ourselves a world class balance to take some of the pressure off Eden and put some much needed creativity in that area. We know Griezmans gonna be near on impossible and others will be waiting to see IF we are in Europe next season but iF the Don thinks he can make James into that guy we need then great. Pay what we need to get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know our young Eden is a lad with alot of potential and wants to make it to the top. Hes also said he wont go anywhere till we are a winning team. Well - just MAYBE the PL is in our near future which opens some questions up. And with RM lurking ..... But with idanes contract only till 2018 would he join them for such a short time or wait to see where Zidane goes next?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
