AS and Marca saying it will be announced on Sunday. And that Colombian station saying by the end of the week.

Announced meaning, announced that he is coming to us? Did I miss something? :O

The only reason why I'm happy to have him is to have another OP Premier League player in FIFA18, but that's it.

Pretty much sums up this signing for me, another big name, no real sense to it.

Why no sense to it? We need goals he scores goals, we need better quality in the final 3rd he brings it, he will also bring assists. Can play wide. Even played well as a more advanced of a CM 3 for Madrid. Top player for not extortionate price. Sounds good to me.
 
Let's see how He get's on when He is running towards parked buses and actually being tackled week in week out.

We have Mata/Pereira etc. who can play the role he will do, depending on if he is used as more of a no.10.

We need a striker to get on the end of chances, a proper goalscorer is what we lack, not someone like him.

Our team has most quality in the positions Rodriguez plays.
 
Looks like the end of Rooney if James is true. Apparently Adidas want to do a big marketing campaign with James in the number 10 shirt. Your not going to bring a player in and take the number off your captain so he's surely going. Unless they give James the 7.

I won't mind James if we do the business that actually has to be done this summer that everyone knows about. Striker, CB, CDM definitely, winger and LB would also be nice.

But to my mind, when you're spending this much on a player, it's going to be sacrificing our business that we have to do elsewhere this summer.

This move is where we are strongest in the team, Mata, Mkhi, Pereira, the list goes on.

Involved in a marketing campaign to sign a player we don't really need, not impressed if it happens and we don't do the business we actually need this summer.
 
Saying that, Rooney has hardly been the captain this year has he. Not on the pitch anyway.

(Whats this wait 180 seconds between posts **** all about? 3 minutes? Yet every morning I log in and the site is spammed with **** threads that take hours to get deleted so I have to put the creator on ignore to get rid of them?)

Yeh, im not sure how much say Adidas actually have on purchases but it does seem a signing more geared towards them making a shed load of money through marketing rather than what is important for the team. Dont get me wrong he's a top player, but I'd rather leave that space in the squad for Pereira. We are going to have James, Mata, Miki and Pereira that are all more suited to playing central, and wingers that offer no natural width. Martal and Lingard both like to drift in off either side. Wouldnt mind TFM being a more defensive replacement for Fellaini in the squad but we ideally need a player that also has the range of passing as Carrick. Not sure on the plans for Blind that could do that job, but after this season it looks like Herrera is Carricks long term replacement which is great.

Think Periera will play deeper under Mourinho. Remember him saying how impressed he was in the couple of games he played there.

Are we on a reduced rate of sponsorship at the moment because of no CL or does it only go down if we fail to qualify this season?

If we miss out this season the sponsorship starts to decrease, which makes the EL Final all that more important.
 
Zidane has said today. There is nothing to debate with regarding James future. We have 3 games till end of season. His future is already been decided.

Also Fox Sport and BeiN Soirts reporting deal agreed for 4 years.
