Irony in your statement can't be missed even if we try , you claim that any poster who doesn't rate James higher than our current attacking options is in denial and in the same sentence you claim he wont be upgrade on Rashford who frankly speaking has got all to prove , doesn't even have a complete season under his belt and his attacking contribution isn't great this season either.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

True. Pointing more towards the latter though.
Can he play wide? Not sure about pogba in a 2 in a 4231, so he would need to be middle of the three surely? That would mean james out wide. Or if we play 433 then again james would need to play out wide.
Maybe Nedved? It's difficult to find someone.
And here we go......
And Duckers record hasn't been great over the past few years. Not to mention the fact United could easily just be denying this.
Ducker is terrible. So is Ogden, Delaney, Luckhurst etc etc.
Genuinely can't believe people don't want James when our other options are Mata and Rooney
.We do have more important positions that need sorting out but Jose could have potentially got them all done and dusted already like he did with Bailly.
Like MLS.
Seems like ducker might have been briefed, but perhaps he's just deciding to go against the grain and take the risk.
All I know is silly season is definitely upon us.

God it is going to be a long a stressful summer. 
The only link is balague from Sky (who favours Spanish clubs and despises United) and an unestablished Colombian radio station.
Ducker used to be really reliable but his track record lately has been quite poor.
ِBasically As, Marca and everything else linked to him.
And anything is more reliable than those English journalists.
He's probably right. I don't think Mourinho wants a player like James.
It's always like thisGod it is going to be a long a stressful summer.
I can't wait!He's our best attacker and is the only person who I would understand not wanting to sacrifice for James.
In certain position you need pace(acceleration would be my pick). More important as a fullback than as a nr. 10. And it is not that you need to be fast/paced, it is that you can't be slow. And if you are slow, then you need to be strong. This is important in all positions. In general the physical part of the game has become more important than before. Mata is slow and weak-->We play with one less player when defending-->Big problem for a team.
If this was the case the stories would only be coming from the Spanish press. The Colombians wouldn't go along with this.
As long as we sign Plan A or at worst Plan B players. Imagine if it were Plan C or D.It's always like this
Everyone keeps trying to convince us that we are a naff club in decline, yet every player who wants a payrise, new contract extension or a club drumming up interest still think we are worth mentioning.
I haven't thought of myself as violently against this signing and I like James just fine for a team needing a 10 to complete their lineup (which I don't feel is us at all), but my immediate reaction to reading this was "feck yes" so I guess I am against this signing.
Ducker used to be the man for United news. Hasn't been reliable in recent years. Unless somebody else reliable comes out I'd say the sheer amount of people against him are the ones I'd go with.
Who knows.
Who knows.
It's only been one Colombian source
Yet, it doesn't have anything to with Balague linking us with James. Balague is a cock but he broke the De Gea story, Falcao story and di Maria. He obviously got a lot wrong too but I just don't see him trying to wind up united fans by linking us with James. Why the feck not link us with someone like Aduriz then to send most of us into a meltdown.
Who was that journalist who said we weren't interested in Herrera and then signed him the following day?
He doesn't have that much better statistics in La Liga than Mata (currently less goals/assists but also less games played) and he's playing for the best club in the world for a couple of years running whereas Mata played for Valencia. So yeah, saying that he isn't better than Mata/Mkhitaryan is not really deluding yourself.
Probably picking Mata's tenure at Chelsea would be the most comparable period given quality of the squad (and would still be off, as James's RM is far better than Mata's Chelsea), if so, then there's practically no difference between the two.

Indeed, maybe we have already aproached our targets, we shall see at September. But judging by our post-Saf transfer windows, we usually don't target our weak spots but we seem to purchase players just for the sake of it.
As long as we get plan G
Ducker is as unreliable as it gets regarding United, if you're using his word to convince yourselves we aren't after James then you may be very disappointed.
Jamie Jackson, I think. Something similar with Shaw, who we signed a week later.
You don't need Ducker to know this story is bs. They're just trying to drum up some interest and who else better to link your reject with?
I like him personally but can't see him being a Jose signing unless he's cheap, which doesn't seem likely.

Jamie Jackson said weren't interested in Shniederlin, he had a medical with us that very same day.
We'll never know.
