i can only think that the links to james are being thrown out there to disgruntle the fan base on purpose, so much so that when we get adama we collectively rejoice when he comes instead of james.

Otherwise zero logic in getting rid of gil and taking james!
Getting Traore on a permanent move would arguably be ten times more idiotic decision that Dan James on loan w/ option.

I, at least, would go mad if that were to happen.

This is where I want us to show the apparent financial might we now have and show ambition. Bin off James and Traore. Go and stick £50m on the table for Pedro Neto or Moussa Diaby.

Both of them offer the lightning pace we are apparently after and are good dribblers. But both are also far better players. One of them is already playing in the PL too.

And if we can't get a player of top quality just keep Gil till January and work on developing him.

James and Traore are just pointless.

Can already see it happening - James deal agreed after the high of beating West Ham, masking an uproar

I think people forget that every top side that wins stuff always has a few journey men that can do a job and make up the numbers when necessary in there as well. Personally I'd rather we didn't end up with James and hope it would only be a loan if we did, but I'm not going to lose my shit if AC thinks he can do a job.

That's exactly the right attitude mate.

I'm the same. He's far from who I'd pick but if Conte's far superior eye sees something he can work with then I'm not going into meltdown over it.

We all hope its someone better but the over reaction is mental.

I’ll probably get heavily criticised for this but what’s actually wrong with Dan James? He’s still a young player with a lot of potential who had a big move to Man United which didn’t work out(but what young players are succeeding at Utd atm) He’s young enough to improve and get better under the right guidance. He’s already an international player his pace scares defenders and I don’t think any top-level defenders were like playing against him. I don’t see why this is such a bad move.

Of course if you’re expecting some of the names that we’ve been linked with them it’s a bit of a let down in that regard. However I think this would be a really good signing and potentially another Aaron Lennon.
