Nothing personal against Dan James, seems a nice fella but the guy is an average footballer. It would a terrible fucking signing. Nowhere near good enough. He would be our worst attacker. He only runs. And not even with the ball like adama.
 
This is really a situation where we need to go full Man United in the way they voiced their displeasure at the Arnautavic rumours which stopped the club signing him.

As others have said, nothing personal against the bloke, but seriously, Dan James? We’re supposed to be a Champions League club ffs. And as someone pointed out, the guy doesn’t even properly fulfil the Home Grown quota so there’s not even that excuse for the apologists to trot out!

Jesus wept it’s just embarrassing on every level.
 
Do you really think Conte would ever turn to Bryan Gil to change a game when we need a goal?

Dan James on the other hand...

If we need a goal Dan fucking James it’s really the guy we should call?! Like calling a pyromaniac to put out a fire. For fuck sake.

Something tells me Dan James has a VERY good agent!
Either that, or he has photos of Levy, Paratici and Jesse March in a compromising position!!
 
This window was looking great. Bought lots of great talent. Got rid of a bunch of driftwood. All looking great. Then dan james, and the wheels are falling off(Levy must be involved again)hahah

Well that's dumb because Utd didn't want Arnautovic because he's expressed racist views therefore it was justified, you want to detail this potential transfer purely because you don't rate him.

Just more fan entitlement and thinking they know more than the manager and coaching staff, you might not rate him and believe me I think he's shit but you don't know what plans the manager has for him or his role in the team.

You wanna scream for the board to back Conte but you don't wanna see him backed yourself, make it make sense.

For the record I want us to stay well clear of him and I'd sooner us sign Traore if we're gonna go down this route but if we do manage to sign him I'm not gonna throw my toys out the pram, might moan for a bit though 😉
 
I really don’t get the excitement about Carrasco. I’ve watched him throughout his career, starting at Monaco.

He’s not really a great wing back, certainly not at club level. He’s been used as a LWB more by Martinez I think because they have no FB’s.

AM he’s mostly played as a LW/LM ahead of a back 4.

He’s had some ok productive seasons in France and Spain, but nothing generally earth shattering and most of those numbers were clocked up as a wide attacker/inverted forward not a WB. He is also fucking erratic and unreliable too - and has been part of a malfunctioning AM team.

We have more or less what he offers in Richarlison and Peresic.

And he’s almost 29. Either spend the wheelbarrow cash on a better quality option but do t waste any more 30k’s on players who aren’t much of an upgrade and have no age upside potential.

It’s a no thanks from me.
He's Belgian, and we're, again, lacking a Belgian. It's very unSpurslike in the modern era.

Mate, it’s United fans. Do you really think they didn’t want Arnautovic for any reason other than the fact that he is completely and utterly wank at football?
His personality is a completely secondary and for the most part irrelevant issue.
