Thats like saying finding a 2p coin is better than finding a 1p coin, technically yes , but not really in the grand scheme of things
He also has a far bigger upside. We know what James is and what he can and can't do. I still think it's a bit of an unknown for Traore, by comparison at least. We know he has a unique physique, and most recognise that his technical ability is actually much better than lots on here think. Sadly we also know that his decision making and final ball are generally very poor. But with that physique, and with the positive characteristics, we don't know what a top player-development learn-by-repetition type manager like Conte would make of him. It might be a total disaster, it might not, but personally I'd certainly rather give it a try with Traore than James if the choice is genuinely between those two. James would be a reasonably safe but uninspiring back-up option. Traore would be.. well, god knows, certainly more of a punt, but it might be fun to find out...if it’s James or adama u go for adama all day as u would get him for about 5 million
¿No bueno, no?Oh I understand it’s all relative. I just wonder what it must be like for Sevilla fans when West Ham can just piss away 50 Mill.
A lot of people go if Conte wants that player Im all for it but it's all change if it's a player they don't rate LOL

He bought worse players than Dan James at Chelsea. Not to mention that James was already bought by another top six side.I think even the most fanatical stepford fans on here would have to admit Dan James would not have been high on Antonio 's wish list this summer
Put it this way, if he was managing any other of our big six rivals there wouldn't even be a conversation.
That is horrific. Wish him a speedy recovery. No one should have to go through that.

Gordon was very good. Set up two good shooting chances, a disallowed goal, scored a goal and worked his tail off. Looks good most weeks.Watched Leeds v Everton last night. Dan James, Jack Harrison and Anthony all looked shite to me. And that goes for Traore too if he is the alternative. Moura and Spence look mile better

Who said moura is stayingSo a player valued at 5 million is going to make a difference worth a shit?
He's a bag of muscle that would add fuck all to the team, runs down blind alleys, has no end product and would cost a fortune in body oil.
Another Moura style player is the last thing we need.
Does Adama on a permanent deal (with a long contract and wages to boot) make more sense than a Loan for James though? That’s what I’m struggling with. As players I’d take Adama 7x a week and twice on Tuesday but it’s not that simple.If there’s any possibility of getting Adama not James then we should be all over that. Be cheaper too, imo.
Not that I want either tbh but Adama makes more sense to me than Dan James.

They won 6 Europa cups and usually spend under 20 million, I think their fans will be fine with it.Oh I understand it’s all relative. I just wonder what it must be like for Sevilla fans when West Ham can just piss away 50 Mill.
