Is Kelly also an underwhelming player who flatters to deceive then? Just trying to keep this thread on topic.
Why? They hardly threatened? We showed that we are easily competitive in every area but upfront.
James is like putting gold furry dice in a lada windscreen and ignoring the fact we have to win a road race with a knackered underperforming engine up front.
Get a new engine instead
Part of the reason they hardly threatened was James' positional sense was so good. Great anticipcation.
I don’t think he adds any more than Kelly and it’s a pointless signing given the mess we are in

No as he’s not costing over 10 grand a week
But it’s ok to have a lumbering clueless buffoon at number 9 rather than trying to find a half decent alternative
This thread isn't about Max. It's about how James flatters to deceive in your opinion. Something which we are all enjoying you being proven drastically wrong about.But it’s ok to have a lumbering clueless buffoon at number 9 rather than trying to find a half decent alternative
A lot of truth in that statement. A fit Kelly would surely start ahead of James and in response to an earlier hypothetical question, I would definitely prefer a Charlie Austin over a Matty James.
Maybe not but the point is KELLY'S OUT INJURED AND CAN'T PLAY. We needed a similar, experienced head in there to replace him and he's done that. If/when Kelly returns maybe they'd be great together at the base of the box and give O'Hare and Hamer more freedom. Maybe they'll be too similar and be treading on each others boots. But I hope we get the chance to try it out.
Your point was that he was an underwhelming player who flatters to deceive. Clearly neither is true, but your attempts to pivot to a different argument are fun all the same.
Kelly has also only featured in 11 games and again it’a using limited resources to create improvement in results - let’s see if they improve

It's just you.Is it just me or is Matty James distinctly underwhelming?
Murray
Green
Austin
Cosgrove
Would you have signed any of these and tried to outbid the clubs who went for them?
So if Kelly's only featured in 11 games due to injury then we needed to get someone in to cover for him then didn't we?
well no as we’ve played most games without him
Or would you have tried to sign the latest Ollie Watkins for a couple of million?
We don't have a couple of million to do that
Well yes we do if we didn’t sign James and we decided to actually use loans from the owners to sign him
also it’s not £2 million up front and if we stayed up he’d pay for himself
And if it didn't work?
Eh? Lots don’t work - one thing is for certain it’s not working now
You wanted us to ask for several million to bring in an unproven player-this conversation is done.

Come on, you’re really not as thick as you’re demonstrating here.
So if we’d signed Ollie Watkins Mk 2 you’d be moaning we should not bother and stick with biamou
Fine that’s your view - I think differently
Sorry? Do you think Oliver Norwood was a good addition when he signed for us?
I was going to use the title Vigil In A Wildeness of Mirrors but that might have looked a tad pretentious
Fine that’s your view - I think differently
I don’t think he adds any more than Kelly and it’s a pointless signing given the mess we are in
He was, as it goes. Don’t see how that is relevant to this nonsense idea that if we hadn’t signed James we’d be able to spend £2m on a striker.
Thick comment seeing as we needed someone in the Kelly mould to replace Kelly....think about what you're saying
