His goal/assists return per game are fantastic everywhere he's been pretty much every single season what are you talking about?

For those James supporters, please check his injury statistics for the past 3 seasons, and then share your honest opinion do you really want him to come here. He's not wanted in Real and Bayern did not activated his loan to buy clause for a reason. I'll make it easier for you:

That's not bad! Clearly had calf issues.   Other than that ok.

If Carlo Ancelotti wants him and has managed him twice.... then I want him.

If Carlo Ancelotti says that he wants to build a side around Lee Cattermole then Lee Cattermole it is..... 

An obvious exaggeration but you get my gist.

Sure, but he missed most games this season and haven't touched a ball for 2 months, currently is still injured AFAIK. 29 years old this summer, won't come cheap and will demand a massive salary. On top of that he has no premier league experience. Would be a huge gamble and I don't think he's worth the risk.

If Carlo puts his head in the oven so will you, yes i get your drift.

Is this is metaphorically speaking then I’d have my head in the oven. If not it would have to off and a new Neff one. Got to trust and believe in the manager.

We have trusted and believed in the last 3 managers, Nothing wrong with an opinion of your own.

Things are looking so much more positive with Ancelotti, but do we dare to believe that we will have Usmanov with us at some point, for him to be involved with negotiations with Ancelotti prior to him joining you would like to think it will happen.

I know it’s far fetched, but I would love to see us bring in a player like him. I’d prefer Grealish. But James would really put us on the map again, like Robinho did for City. 

I think there’s better out there, younger and command less financially.

It could go well but he could easily be another Gylfi.

He could and to some extent that’s the gamble with any player, but he’s got a history with Ancelotti and that has to count for something.

When a manager who has won the Champions League with three different clubs, including countless league titles and trophies as both player and coach wants a specific signing, then you can't really disagree.

If Carlo Ancelotti puts anyone at the top of his transfer list, then he should be signed regardless of public opinion.

agreed, wages could be a concern if he's on a free though.

Honestly think the wide left position for us could be made for him. He knows the role well and how Carlo want it to work. 

Thought he plays through the middle, more of an upgrade on Siggy, but unsure if he can do a 4-4-2. Would be a marquee signing thought (we're still waiting) - wonder if Yerry can have a word?

Whoever plays on the left in our 442 has to be able to play centrally. When we have the ball they move inside, when we don’t have the ball they drop back out wide. 

When Carlo had him at Bayern he also had Thiago, Vidal, Tolisso and Rudy. It looks like they played centrally between them. And Ribery, Robben, Coman and James playing the wide positions. With Levandowski and Muller up front. 
I may be wrong, but that’s how it looks. Not looked at his time with him at Real. But from Carlos book the only time he’s ever wanted to play a number ten was when he had Zidane, making an exception due to him being a ridiculous player.
