Could be a good option.
Pace to burn and can play on either wing, so good options.
Would also mean we are less exposed if Burns was out for long periods. |  |

You claimed it was a Jackson upgrade.
He is way more than that.
You clearly have little knowledge of James. He scored nearly a goal every 180 mins this season, plus 7 assists. Thats decent end product. |
I claimed he was a Jackson upgrade?! What are you smokin' pal?
These words literally came out of your mouth: "And it would be a MASSIVE upgrade on Jackson."
And, for the record, I'm talking about his end product in the top-flight, which is abysmal for the £25m Leeds paid. |  | | |

We are in the Prem. We will need to have players on big wages. [Post edited 28 May 2024 13:06]

I said structure not caps/limits - obviously we will have to increase wages and bring players in on higher wages, but maintain control and prepare for the worst financially. We have not achieved success by splashing cash unnecessarily and I would not expect the board to release the purse strings significantly on players who are not going to significantly improve the team.

We might have a decent budget but we're not going to be paying £10m for a Jackson upgrade FFS.
James' end product leaves a lot to be desired too. |
Talking of inflated values - it is being suggested that Celtic will pay £6-7m for Adam Idah from Norwich. If that is the benchmark, we are going to need a lot of cash this transfer window.... | | | |

Im only suggesting we sign him if KM saw enough raw ability that he could work with to improve the team.

Made sure I used the word upgrade, instead of replacement… because the difference in quality (as you say) would be rather something! | |

I hope not. Can't stand him and he's useless. Would be in league one if it wasn't for his pace. |  |

100% NO!
Flatters to decieve other than his pace. He doesn't get starts for a champ side, he isn't going to be good enough for us.
He's also a litlle diving rat and doesn't strike me as somone who would fit into our dressing room spirit. [Post edited 28 May 2024 12:47]

Pace is an asset of his, so that's a moot point.
I disagree about him being useless, for reasons discussed in the thread. | |

Always strikes me as someone that looks better because he’s fast. |
That's what he's a impact substitute No more better quality required. He may have been 25 millon but that means nothing lukaku cost chelsea 100 millon that ended well lol | | | |

I don't think so, Burns is better and I'm sure there are better players out there who'll cost us less.
Leeds are likely to sell Summerville for big money so that'll address their financial needs and James will then become more important to them.
Now McKenna seems to be staying then Hutchison has to be a realistic target in that position and has far more about him than James, who I'd say has pace but a limited skillset |
A bit of blue goggles there I reckon. As much as Wes has been fantastic for us Dan James has been playing nearer the top level for longer domestically and internationally. There’s a reason for that. Although he’s not lived up to the original hype, he’s still a decent player. And he’s more effective on the left, so it isn’t a case of either/or.
(Not that I propose we go for him) [Post edited 28 May 2024 13:50]

Past transfer fees are not necessarily reflective of the current value. The headline figure is also often not the true figure (add ons etc).
That was 3 years ago, they are likely to need to sell players to raise cash, and he has spent some time on the bench.
I wouldnt say its unrealistic. |
Leeds will probably need to offload a lot of players but they are all on high wages too. Shopping at Leeds would represent far less value for money than many other places. I am sure we could get far better consistency and value than the likes of Rutter (mentioned elsewhere) and James. Summerville has been their most consistent player and would be a cracking signing for someone but I doubt we would get him over the line. |  |

I really like this shout.
He strikes me as a player who just needs a bit of love and trust instilled into him as he has the attributes that can make him a real threat, but maybe hasn't found the right management team to get the best out of him since he left Swansea - something I think McKenna and his team would be able to.
I could picture him in the Burns role in behind that gap we look to exploit between the left centre back and left back. Good competition for Burns and may be something Leeds may have to consider. |  |

Much more likely to get James than Summerville.
I'd take James, I think KM would get a player out of him. | |

Think we are still buying players which have a future sell on fee , he would probably go down on value like a new car | | | |

Yeah no chance of getting Summerville, he'll no doubt be off though, Leeds now owe £190m to other clubs, crazy figure, but they do still have parachute payments I suppose. |  | | |
| Dan James... on 17:59 - May 28 with 1097 views | ReusersTown |
I'd say he lacks a lot of the other physical and tactical elements that Burns offers us, but wouldn't be against it at the right price, sub 5mill. | | | |
| Dan James... on 18:07 - May 28 with 1080 views | MK1 |
If we can get him for a good price, then yes please. Think he fits are style and McKenna will get the best out of him. His career has stalled a little at Leeds, so will be happy to join us. He has to be reasonably priced though. |  |

Yes he's just not that good. Not worth anywhere near that.
However he does seem a good guy and would fit in great with the squad and he is also does make an impact of the bench a lot (he can really stretch teams).
If it was £10 million than absolutely. I think they would sell for less than they bought but would expect £20 mil. Too much | |

I think the £50k a week is an estimate based on his prem contract and likely to have has clause reducing it in the championship. Saw some article referencing that. |  | | |
