Obviously falling down the pecking order at Man Utd now that Ronnie is going back (although DJ started on the weekend).
Mixed emotions on this as from a Welsh perspective, more game time in an attacking minded team can only help the national team...but it is Leeds and very difficult to like anything about them from a city fan point of view.
Good luck to him though. :wales:
Can't say I'm too fond of man United either.
He can certainly pick a club.
Will hopefully be better for Wales though, can still develop and will hopefully play a lot more.
Big price for him
Hope doesn't give him unnecessary pressure
Hope he smashes 50 goals and 200 assists a season but they still get relegated
it'll be interesting to see what Bielsa gets out of him
According to those in the game, he's the greatest coach there is. Be great to see James develop over a few years under Bielsa, think this is a great move for Wales (and him).Quote:

I think it’s a perfect fit for him with their style of play.
£30m Wow great deal for ManU
All done so CR7 gets 7 ??????????
Lets see if we now see special dispensation applied for to allow Cavani to give up 7 and move to his favoured country shirt number 21 ??
Oooh the image rights profit are bubbling for both players , courtesy of Dan .
Agreed, is there anyone better than Bielsa in the current British game at improving players?Quote:

Yes. Sean Dyche , I would say. How he’s kept that club in the PL I don’t know. That tells everyone he must be getting a lot out of his current squad.
His record transfer is 15 million (only just happened) and he’s kept them up for how long! He’s done an outstanding job in fairness.Quote:

But as the tactical nouse you are, I suspect you already knew this. Love Dan, and good move for him.Quote:

I don't watch james that much at club level but would say he has defibitley improved over last 2 years.
When he first signed for united looked miles behind technically but has certainly got better. Hes done better than i thought he would but once youre a fringe player at a top club best can hope for is a move to a midtable club unless a team abroad comes in for you.
Good luck to him
Agreed, and seeing all the snooty abuse he gets from Man Utd fans whenever he plays I hope he scores the winner against them as wellQuote:
