      Personally, I would have liked to have signed Noa Lang,he can play all across the forward line,both wings and as a 10 and 9.
      He is again on 🔥in the Belgium league like he was last season.
      Apparently we are still keeping tabs on him for the next window.

      He looked like a real game changer on Saturday. Now he needs to literally change a game. Wingers should be judged on goals and assists

      James always gets into good positions to make crosses. The problem at United was the quality of those crosses. They were too close to the ground and many times without seeing where his teammates were. If James can improve his crosses with the help of Bielsa, he will destroy the PL

      Want to see a few more performances like these! Would be nice to see him on the score-sheet soon too and chipping in with a few assists.

      Wow Leeds United official channel deleted my comment saying that we're now spotlighting a player that was literally the worst on the pitch. That gave away possession 16 times only attempted 4 dribbles and completed NONE, only attempted 15 passes and and 60% of those found the target……

      You're as bad as the BBC

      Edit: tbf it makes winning the game more satisfying as we started with ten football players and Dan James

      James is a good signing, as he fits Bielsa's style of play, which is fast-paced possession and counter-attacks. However, he cost too much for what he brings to the club. We already have Harrison, who is a better player. I even think Costa is just as good, if not better than James. Sending Costa on loan was a very poor decision. Leeds doesn't need a winger right now. We need quality defenders and a top striker to compliment Bamford. I've also watched James in Man United, and he hasn't improved much under Ole. Then again, Ole's coaching staff is not that great to be fair. He runs like a Duracell bunny, works hard and never tires, but his crosses are poor, he doesn't dribble much and he has little to no creativity. I've seen very few goals where players have ran the ball into the net. He does have a good shot though, and surprisingly good at penalties, as I've never seen him miss. Sadly, he doesn't bring anything to our defence either, as he's easy to shove away and has no presence in the air, unlike Harrison, who is not only fast, but steady on the ball, can take a hit and tackles when there is need for it. James is a great backup though, so in that sense he's welcome, as our squad has absolutely no depth.

      Mr Bielsia see's something in Dan James that other people don't as the season goes on Dan James will get better he has pace and skill in abundance Glad we finally got him give him time he will win over more Peacocks 🦚 supporter's .The whole Team have a Spirit and they fight for each other Cresswell even said the wins will start coming Mr Bielsia Will get it right I thought Dan James played well he got tackled a lot so he was doing something right on Saturday . On wards and upwards keep the faith Mr Bielsia Will get thing's right. All Leeds aren't we Keep fighting 🤍💛💙🇮🇨✊👊🙏🦚

      He gives everything and goes at defenders and he defends well, he will be good for us. How he has no been given a penalty for fouls on him is beyond me. Him and Firpo are looking good.

    22. Liam Casey on

      He's well worth 25mil. He works hard , a lot to develop in attacking sense but he has made us a bit more solid and mobile in midfield. Give the lad a chance he's played well so far I think. Once he gets a goal he will completely change

    23. David Dunne on

      Quick old fashion type outside left . Must improve his final pass and get his crosses in with more accuracy . Leeds have needed this position sorted out since Eddie Gray finished his career . Am I dreaming ? Possibly . My old manager used to shout QUICK AND CROSS , QUICK AND CROSS .

    24. Seán Fitzgerald on

      He will play better at Leeds because he'll have more space to run into unfortunately at the big clubs a player like him can't break down defenses because teams sit back against the big clubs.

    26. Iain Martin on

      United fan here, Daniel worked so hard for us but just didn't improve at quite the rate we hoped over 2 years. Still I think he'll do very well and wish him all the best, great lad.

    32. Prasanth R on

      Always loved him in United. He is not good with decision making , but he is a player with positional sense. His work rate is unmatchable. Ole never played him in his prefered position. Still love the cross he gave to Elanga.
