Not sure anyone is actively wanting to sign him, just that some aren't bothered if we do.

My opinion is this won't happen(for various reasons), but the fact is he is on the list of sorts so I wouldn't count it out completely.
They need to hurry and work their way down the list just over 24hrs

I think we’ve got so conditioned over the years to rushing around to sign a game-changing first team player on the last day of the window.
this is just squad shuffling of fringe players.

Stylistically in the squad Lucas for James makes more sense, as the pacey winger/rwb off the bench option. How much is Lucas really going to play anymore for us, helps slightly with hg (not CL though)

If Conte wants him, then who I'm I to argue, can't see the point, but if Antonio has a plan for him let's do it.
What surprises me is that he would join us in WC year, he will only be a squad player,isn't that why he left Utd cos he wasn't playing regularly?
Unless Conte is planning to play him RWB??... again I would be surprised..I'd sooner give Spence a chance.

I can't imagine that when Conte gave his profile of player he wanted, that Dan James would have been on his mind. I have a feeling Conte will also include a list of acceptable players for the next windows.

So wait a minute, we're loaning out Gil, possibly selling Moura and replacing both with Dan James. Gutting the squad of numbers and quality when we need to be doing the exact opposite.

Won United's POTM in his first month there, so yes. Struggled after a bright start but again it's United, they're a black hole of talent. Just really cannot understand this venom he's causing.
Because we all thought the days of being linked to average players on Deadline Day were over.

I just don't personally understand this one. They must see something in him that is useful to how Conte wants to play. At least Traore has a high percentage of take-on's success...James doesn't even have that. Leeds wants to replace James with Gakpo, which is who we should be going after to begin with...im so confused...

The problem with that was when we’d leave gaping holes in the squad attempting to save a little bit of money. We’re not scurrying around trying to find alternatives to Musacchio, Moutinho or Dybala because we signed that level of player back in June/July.

I still think we’ve got another option lined up. Maybe wishful thinking but just reading between the lines from various different sources
No chance, as soon as Zaniolo was off and we were getting no money for outgoings we've started looking for band aid patch up options for the season. I'd rather we kept the squad as is rather than weakening it by replacing Gil and Lucas with Dan James.
