Reece James

On the bright side he should be fully prepared for the ManU match.

He gets way too little of criticism. I really question his captaincy. Is he the right kind of person for it? He has such a short fuse. Getting a red when frustrated is something captains should never do. He basically let the team down.

Yeah Roy Keane never lost his cool.

 
James has fantastic first  touch, probably why he was so upset when he chested the ball badly for once. However I don't rate him as captain so far. He had no business at all taking that second free kick against Newcastle just to start with. That was poor captaincy. He may improve on the job. 

Gusto isn't James, and worse he's just about as injured, but when fit on what I've seen he's a great full back that I'm happy to see on the team sheet.

 
Looked VERY rusty tonight. Wonder if the injuries are taking their toll as he has gone backwards last couple of seasons and is making too many errors.

His errors were just plain sloppy and laziness. It’s like he and the other players had lead on their boots 

 
I have a feeling the owners may cash in on Reece James the summer to cover the loss of CL football

Na, he won’t go anywhere, he’ll be back to himself again soon!

Dangerous thought 😄 Nobody want that to happen, but given how we played with FFP so far, best way to make a profit is to sell academy players, so you know..

Was not me saying I want it to happen Mod. Is me saying I think the owners have overstretched themselves and gambled, and it is going to backfire and Reece is our academy grad with the highest price and easiest sale (City and Real both know to want him).

Is inevitable we will have to sell with no CL football imo.

Now they can put off selling Reece, in theory we could raise the same amount of money selling Broja, Gallagher and Maatsen as we would for selling James.

Keep saying that “one” season was an outlier and he would never hit those numbers again. Here we are in Dec and fair enough he has been injured but he is on 0 goals & 1 assist in 7 PL games. He is on course on match last seasons numbers of 1 goal & 1 assist in 16 PL games.

 
I've honestly not been impressed with him ever since his big pay rise, and with his injury record he is an expensive luxury. as much as everyone slags Cucurella off, things didn't improve when Reece came on in his place. and he does have that petulant streak that surfaces when he doesn't think things are going his way. His wages alone would cover 2 Gustos. Likewise Chillwell, he simply cannot de depended on. When they were made Captain and vice captain, my comment then was who was vice vice captain as that was the one most likely to be on pitch in any given game.

 
I think that when you consider the amount of games he misses through injuries ,maybe a less demanding league would suit him .

I don't want him gone but he misses so many games it may be the answer and replace with a stronger player .

 
Another Hamstring injury! Sell the sick note!

Got this stat online....

Started his professional career on August 4, 2018, and has spent a total of 472 days on the sidelines due to sixteen injuries and one case of illness. Overall, James has missed 90 games in all competitions.

You just know that if we do sell him, he'll get over all his problems and be great for his new team. But it's getting harder and harder to justify keeping him.

Yep perhaps he can join RLC in series A for a price of course.

He peaked at 21 and won the CL easy, hard to motivate him now when everyone else left the club, T.Silva is not his generation.

 
Think it might be time to give up on this one, no point having a captain that never stays fit. Could say no point when he can’t play two games in a row, but the reality is he can’t play one.

sad to say, but maybe time to split ways, cannot be paying these wages with nothing to show for it. That will be him out for another 6 weeks
