We don't know Bielsa's plans for Dan James. He might see him as more than a winger. We know he'll improve him and I'm delighted that a kid who is starting for Scum is willing to join us. Of course this could drag on until the last minute then Manure say "only joking! We don't want to sell him really."
Don't really care about the size of the fee as that's not our problem as fans. What I do want is players who'll get me off my seat and Dan James will do that in a way that Costa and Roberts never will. Brilliant signing if it happens.
Sorry, but anyone who turns us down then goes to scum can go fcuk himself. And before anyone says anything to the contrary, players can go anywhere they want. Did he take on Swansea? Did he fcuk! Shows you how high Leeds was in his list of priorities. Now he'll only come to us because he's unwanted. I'd rather wait & find someone that wants to play for us. In fact, much as I loathe Costa's performances, I'd even rather keep him & the £28m+, than James & debt. Really, really angry. Thought this was a joke at first. And FFS, don't start me on Giles or Strachan. They were game winners, so very welcome. This guy has done nothing so far, & certainly not enough to treble his value in such a short space of time. At £28m, he'll prolly be one of our leading wage earners, if his agent is any better than sub-standard. How's the rest of our squad going to feel about a scum cnut earning more than them? Furious.
What's your row & seat no' again WJ ? Just asking for a friendly steward who wants to come and say hi.
Yup, but he could have signed next window. That's what agents are for - and they're well used! Players (agents) have ALL the power these days. He could easily have come to us, but chose scum. Chose scum, take note. Basturd. Only a cnut would do that.
Scum offered £15m and we were still in the Championship therefore not promoted. Maybe we could have still signed him (who knows) but I think you're being extremely harsh judging the player on this.
Bit unfair WJ. Would anyone have signed for a championship club,as we were at the time, or sign for scum? If you saw ‘Take us Home’ you’ll see he got played by Swansea as much as we did. Now whether he is good enough (or better than what we have) is a different debate. I know the ‘in Bielsa we trust’ argument but let’s not forget that he also wanted the much maligned Helda Costa as much as well.
Massively overpriced. First time I have been disappointed at a signing for a while. Hopefully Bielsa can work his magic otherwise we have just spunked over 30 million on someone far far worse than the de pauls and Cunhas of this world. Feel like we have been mugged. This lads not good enough at that price.
€28m means £24.5m and thats if everything comes to fruition. For example plays x amount of games, scores x amount goals, stays into x amount if years and whatever else is built into the contract. I suspect we are looking at less than £20m for now which rises if targets reached
Basically we paid for Ronnie! And he will sell shed loads of merchandise.....in your court el loco now turn water into wine
