Trix is spot on do people not know how transfers work ? You have to keep all doors open if the others shut . He isn’t the primary chill people

I think most understand that...the surprise is that he's even being considered....

(Although I'll back whoever Conte deems right for us)

This… club of our ambition should not even consider such low quality player.

It’s about options tho with the congested fixtures arriving bodies are needed we have 4 quality options in those potions and Lucas too we are not short there but we want one more . We’ve spoken to gakpo James adama zaha the list goes on not all have hit the press and there’s more everything is being carefully considered and I expect us to get at least one in maybe 2 at a push but right now 1

To clarify, one more attacking option in? Or just one more signing full stop?

I’ve literally stated in my post that he’s clearly the cheap backup option to a hopefully better signing. If the options end up being him on loan or nothing, I’ll take him.
I'd rather nothing and just change formation if needs be. Or just keep Gil instead.

I'd rather we elevate a youth player--or a tea lady (or person) than Dan bloody James. It's the Andy Booth signing of this generation should it happen.

Up to 3 dependant on the outs. Possible one not in the media might yet go.

I get we need options and I get he’s down the list and we are speaking to loads but I still very shocked we’d even bother. As others have said I’d rather keep Gil.

Watched him a fair bit at United. I rate him tbh.

Home grown and decent squad player. I’d take him. Miles ahead of Bryan in being PL-ready right now.

Not a question to you… me just speaking out loud but I do wonder if it is Doherty. Given he just isn’t getting any minutes at all. Maybe I’m completely wrong and conte doesn’t think he’s fit yet.

Was thinking the same.

I'd bet Doherty's agent has been putting the feelers out.

We may as well keep Gil, than getting James ??‍♀️
Gil’s at an age where he needs experience and regular game time. We’ll hurt his development if we keep him on the bench with the odd run out in cup games.

James is what he is, a hard worker who runs fast who’s decent enough. He’s a good player to bring in against tired legs in the last 15 and that’s what you need from your 6th option.

Ideally though we’d get Zaha and make Lucas 6th option (as he is the same kind of player as James but miles better)

This, for me, and it's in everyone's interest for Bryan to play so that he can develop both as a player, and as a financial asset. I could imagine signing someone like this to take his place in the squad to allow us to spend the non-HG spot at the back and let Japh go out.

Can’t think of a more underwhelming signing since Fraiser Campbell
Ryan Nelsen maybe? Funnily enough when we were supposed to be showing title challenging ambition too. I think the money has ran out because we haven't got fees for outgoings.

I'd rather keep Gil than sign James. If we must sign another wide forward then:

Zaha > Traore > James
