Would them signing him have any impact on any potential James transfer?

Cunha's a kind of second striker.

In terms of money, I'd imagine so, as Atleti have already spent on De Paul too. But if they sell Saul, then James could be an option for them.

I'd rather us keep James, like.
 

Unfortunately we’re not quite rubbish enough for top clubs to do us a favour. They’ll sell their prospects to Brighton and Southampton or Norwich but if we’d asked Chelsea to loan Gilmour or take Livramento it would probably have been a no. Lukaku is the only one handout I can remember is getting and even then I’m convinced it’s because they thought we’d be no threat under Martinez.

I think another reason is the concerns the top clubs might seem to legitimately have about our set-up, right from academy level, to the U-23s, to the first team squad.

I heard Niall Quinn speaking in a radio interview not long ago where he was making the point (not about us) but in general, that certain clubs will practically be a no-go now as far as sending players on loan etc, if there are concerns about player development and the overall structure at the club pitching for them, and that clubs have shortlists regarding other "problem" teams in this respect. They want to increase or maintain the value of their player obviously. I guess that should always have been the case, but he suggested it was being scruntinised much more onerously than before.

That seems very credible to me, and may be an unfortunate side effect regarding our continued regression under Brands.
