Reading the united page on interested players and about Madrid may be willing to swap Tchouameni with Chelsea for a player. Whether it's James or Enzo I'd get it done our midfield has always needed a big enforcer a la Matic Or Mikel and we currently are getting walked over.
Tchouameni and Caicedo would be like Kante and Matic again. Two ball winners in a midfield. Can't rely on injury prone players forever that goes for James and Fofana. Lavia, Nkunku and Carney will be the same if it's similar again next season.

Barnet, a long time ago he was my first choice ahead of the player playing for the gooners.
Quality player who I think would have been a perfect partner for Kante and now Caicedo.

That and many more of that will be steps in the right direction. Not buying young and unproven players for resale will kill the club. Board members with such skills should be brought in to bring the club back to the part we have been and going. American owners always try to exploit clubs and kill or slow clubs development to their advantage. United glaziers, Liverpool pre klop, Milan etc.

The club really messed up thinking he was not ready when Tuchel wanted him which made us end up with Saul.
James is the best right back in the world for me but he’s exactly like Jack Wilshere we can’t wait forever.

Surely you have to give James a chance to show he can return to fitness following his surgery? It would be insanity to sell him now - like you say, he's the best RB in the world when firing. He even played well this year while managing the injury.

I agree now he’s had surgery RBD but it’s got to be his last chance. Fofana and others the same. I’d give Nkunku, Lavia, Carney another season as it’s basically their first season but James and Fofana have been troubled for years.

I wouldn’t want James to leave under any circumstances and that includes us signing my previous No1 choice as a DM.
I’m also not happy about sweeping nationalistic statements such as “Americans owner always try to exploit clubs. ” Maybe Everton would have preferred an American owner? Or maybe Reading. My guess is there is an argument that Newcastle and City owners have there reasons for investing in Premiership football clubs. In my humble opinion the majority of premiership clubs are run as a business.
This may come as a shock but even we have had some owners that took us to the brink.

I’m not sure how people can say James is the best right back in the world. Surely to get that accolade you need to be performing consistently at the highest level. James has hardly played for two seasons. I agree that he has the potential to be a top class RB but only if he can stay fit.

Sometimes I think endo is elite passer and it’s lack of options in front of him,
Other times I think his jorginho 2.0 with little more pace and better long ball,
James, if he can’t stay fit when maybe swap, on other hand he could be like RLC and pulisic and leave and stay pretty much injury free,

Matt, Enzo has ally carried an injury all season. I hope he now has the surgery to correct the problem and the we can all judge him fairly.
When fit James is class. I can’t see how the club would or should take a chance on selling him. He may never have another injury in his playing career and then the Chelsea fans would really moan.
