Daniel James

[ralphs bald spot]

Wouldn’t mind Gakpo, reminds me a little of Kulu.

I thought he had an awful second half against Rangers for PSV the other night ended up hiding on that limited evidence I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole

I mean, if speed is the only quality we’re looking for and we haven’t learned from earlier mistakes about HG-issues (and youngsters from Leeds): why not go for the real deal?

Introducing (drumroll please):

Jeremiah Azu
21
Welsh
British champion and resent European bronze medalist on 100m.

Don’t know how tall he is though, but most sprinters are 6ft or more.

Way cooler name too.

Thank lord he is down the list, beside Traore hopefully, the list is not inspiring, Zaha over these two any day, at least he scores goals.
But concerned at the lack of centre half's we are ring linked with.

Doubt we are getting a cb. Tanganga staying now

Sounds like he'd fit in well at Palace, a front 3 of Eze-Azu-Zaha

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

It's fine keeping doors open but if this is a door we're looking at you'd have to question the scouts.

He shouldn’t be an option at all.

I cannot imagine Conte in the summer or even a week ago thinking he couldnt wait to bring in James. I know we dont sign anyone unless he rubber stamps it but there is a difference between what he wants and what he gets. So I think we can question any interest in someone who really - has been benched by both Man United and now Leeds.

I dont think he is terrible and does help with transition given his pace but he is a highlights player, same as Traore. Theyll do a few good things every now and again but in reality theyre just not top four or CL material.

I dont think we will get James at the end, think Paratici has one or two better lined up but if its between nothing or James, we will get James... (although id rather keep Gil)

Tbh considering Contes record of signing unpopular players I'm surprised we haven't seen more links

 

[JacoZA]

?

You don't find it interesting that it only takes one potential signing for a backup position to make every fan guilty of the one thing that Daniel Levy is most criticized for by the same fans?

Spurs still want Leeds winger Dan James to replace leaving Bryan Gil

Tottenham retain an interest in Leeds' Dan James, keen to take him on loan with an option to buy. The Welsh winger moved to Leeds last summer from Manchester United.

I don't believe in 'smokescreens' but i'm really hoping this is one ffs.

 

[Albertbarich]

A couple of points

With every position we strengthen there is always a worst case scenario link, it's how Paratici works and yet people still panic!

Also this is an odd link. Not because I think his rubbish but he has a similar skillset to Lucas who is going nowhere.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Exactly if we cant get a good replacement we keep gil not weaken ourselves further

 

[Metalhead]

He must be very average because at this point in the window, players that were previously snubbed by people on here are normally escalated to 'must have' signings but he's been pretty consistently a 'no' from almost everyone.

 

[WiganSpur]

Yeah Gil is left footed too so imo a better fit for the right wing. As another poster said previously, even Spence as a winger would be a better option than James. Alternatively we'd be better keeping Reguilon and pushing Sessegnon or Perisic further forward.

No reason to do this deal at all. Makes no sense.

 

[SpursLegends90]

all he has is pace.. nothing else DO NOT SIGN HIM..

 

[jpascavitz]

Loads of aggregators doing the rounds of saying, "
Fabio Paratici is putting contingency plans in place in case #thfc miss out on Dan James. Possible alternatives are being identified." from Fab Romano but I can't find the original source, whether that was on YT or a podcast.

Tbh I like him. To me Conte has
Identified him as a possible WB

 

[Trix]

The thing about the final few days of a transfer window is deals are often on, off and then on again in the blink of an eye. I wouldn't count anything out at this stage, especially when we are talking about fringe players at best.

Very underwhelming if this what Fabio comes up with then seriously have to question him.. James has no end product and calmness on the ball.. Leeds is his level he should stay there
