DAN JAMES PLACED ON LOAN - A TARGET FOR CARDIFF?

Tue Jun 09, 2020 5:52 pm

Man UTD have been talking about transfers and recently said that they will put Dan James on loan if Sancho turns up at the doorstep. So this had me thinking....could Cardiff loan him in? I wouldn't maind having him.

I would take him but I think so would most in the league.
However I'd imagine Swansea would be in the best position if it came down to the player?

I doubt he'll need to drop below premiership level. If the miracle were to happen and we got up from here then maybe.

No need for him.

We've got Gavin Whyte.

Tend to agree he would likely stay in the Premier League and ManUre are certain to place him with a team that will help him develop in their style

Sadly, I don't think that club will be Cardiff City and that will partly be down to his ill-perceived 'loyalty' to his former club

Very unlikely he'll drop down divisional though I'm not sure what you mean by "ill perceived" , he will still have former team mates still playing at the Club so why not go back , they gave him the opportunity to develop and by refusing to sell him to Leeds made him a very wealthy man

I was joking about the 'perceived' and I would expect the same of former Bluebirds, tbh :thumbup:

ManUre now saying he's going nowhere next season :ayatollah:

I believe Jenkins was still Chairman at the time so it would have been him to say yea or nay , I'm not sure who "Swansea" are as a decision making entity

hmm..it worked out great for you, Dan and Wales but I don't think too many at the club were thrilled with Huw at the time in fact I know they were not.. and he resigned 2 days later :o

Hopefully OGS would like to help us and Mehmet, being ex-Man Utd, could be instrumental in any deal?

I think that after the way things went for him during his time at Cardiff and also the incredible amount of stick he took at Old Trafford from City fans last game of last season we'd probably be the last club he'd want to help.

Dan James has potential but he needs another couple of years before he fulfils this. At the moment his final ball is more often than not poor, he should not move out of the premier league.

Dan James has been one of the few success stories in an average Man Utd team this year

I doubt even the incompetent OGS would be dull enough to loan him out next season

He will play a big role for Man Utd next season and certainly won’t be going on loan to a championship side
