I disagree, and he's a lot better than any of the other players we're being linked with, bar Mbappe. None of the others are good enough to earn a move to Real Madrid, or win the Golden Boot in a World Cup. Plenty of world class players didn't quite make it at a Spanish giant, but still went on to forge great careers. Robben, Sneijder and Sanchez to name, but three. Sanchez is the only one of the three yet to play a leading role in winning the UCL after leaving.

Is it?

So why has he been in and out of the Madrid side under 3 or 4 different managers.

Let's face it, he's not what some people make him out to be. He's living off a tournament that happened 3 years ago ffs.

James would be a quality signing, but no way will Wenger do business with Mendes. He is probably United bound, as Jose throws a lot of business his agent's way (eg Falcao to Chelsea) and has money to burn.

Scenes when man u signing lukaku opens us up to get James as our new creative CM.

Opposite. Zidane wants him to leave but James stays and fight for his place.

Perez wants around 65-70m for him afaik. He should go to a team like Inter and prove himself again.

Was a very young kid all I remember is James Richardson eating a cornetto or something outside an Italian coffee shop thinking England is so shit.

James Richardson, the best presenter around

That was during the sunday afternoon show where he'd be in a restaurant or a café with Italian newspapers around him

What a show.

Weah my best player in Italy atm. Scoring the GOAT goal, watching it live. Damnnn

Madrid does not want to sell either Morata or James. The players want to leave to play more.

Madrid is asking ridiculous price for both players and playing hardball negotiations to stall any transfers. This makes it look to the players like they tried to sell them but there wasn't any market.

If they really wanted to sell Morata for example, he would have been in manU weeks ago.
