First signing of the season soon to be announced it seems.
Even United's official photographer has tweeted about James (Craig Norwood on twitter, always basically gives hints on signings first).
Fee believed to be around 15mil + 3mil add ons. First of many I hope.
Daniel James - Medical

Diafol you cleaned yourself up yet after the news of his imminent signing broke?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah. I'm never premature. Want to see him in the shirt first to make sure I'm coming...

Fixed it for you.

Thanks Elvis. I knew you'd give me a hand!

James fails the "if he joined Spurs or Liverpool" test. If he joined either of those teams would you be worried about him improving them or would you be laughing your a*ses off at them for wasting money on him.
You'd obviously be laughing your a*ses off.

Actually, if he joined Liverpool I’d be worried as it would be further evidence they’re looking harder than we are to find talent that fits a system the manager wants. Like Robertson from Hull etc.
If Liverpool signed James, and we signed another Sanchez (probably Robben or something ), I’d be worried it’s more of the same shiyte from Ed throwing money around to see if it eventually works.

You're the definition of an absolute numpty.
If we buy big on well known players we are buying mercenaries, if we buy young British talent we can't attract big names anymore.
Can't win.
From admittedly the little I have seen of him he looks a very good player. Don't think it's a bad move and there.is little risk involved.

He's been highly thought of in Welsh circles for a while. In fact quite a few were surprised that it was only Leeds going for him in January.
There's no guarantee of success of course but I think he is the type of player we need. Quick and direct to put teams on the back foot. I just hope that we play on the front foot next season as I think we've just been too easy to play against over the last few years as we don't make it uncomfortable enough for them from the off.

Only a moron would be laughing. You judge the player on how he performs. Not what club or league he has joined from. Alli and Robertson being 2 good recent examples.

Let's give the kid chance to play at least a few games for us before we start to judging him shall we.

I'm actually stunned by some of the negativity around this signing. As Diafol says, he is highly regarded within the Welsh circles, and for me at £18m its an absolute no-brainer........ skillful, unbelievable pace and direct ..... I'm actually excited by this signing tbh
