    So you're on your own on this one.

    Will take some forgetting that you've turned your back on a Leeds player before he's even kicked a ball for us.

    A balanced view at last. Hope the scum-lovers read it.

    According to online reports, Bamfords new contract saw him go from £35k a week to £55k a week. He didn’t earn the 35k a week whilst in the Championship, it was a triggered increase due to promotion.

    Dan James signed for Man U on £35k a week, after an impressive first season he got an improved contract of £50k a week which he is currently still receiving

    Nope. Seething.

    He's tainted by scum; over-valued; about to be horribly over-paid, upsetting our squad - all this for a player who has done nothing for scum to suggest he's worth what they paid for him, far less worth their current valuation. Not Orta's best work, imo.

    How can you turn your back on a Leeds player when he's not a Leeds player? We didn't do fcukwit logic at our school.

    Sounds like good business if we signed Bamford on that deal.

    So shall we expect a change of opinion once the contract is signed ?

    Hope so as we are supporters after all.

    I'm not at all enthralled by this signing but your statement would apply to any new signing, it was certainly said when kiko arrived and it did nothing to upset the dressing room then. I think he'll obviously be on par with the highest earners but no more

    The difference was that we didn't pay £30m for Kiko before we paid his wages. Even players realise the value of running down their contracts.

    But if that's the case, we'll never pay a fee for a player again.

    The only way James would play would be if Raphinha moved to the middle. I was replying to your post which said James would be replacing Harrison by the end of the season. There's no way that'll happen, Bielsa won't improve James that much. Raphinha tracks back, Harrison tracks back, I can't see James doing so.

    Only if proved wrong. Supporters support the team, not individual players. You might not have noticed, but there's quite a bit of player criticism on here. Why should scum sucker be different?

    EDIT: Unless James is replacing Ayling, because he can't defend either.

    Only if you want the poorest choice available. But yes, it is possible, & is in fact being heartily embraced in Italy & Spain. I personally wouldn't recommend it.

    Fair enough.

    At least you have an open mind and now it's up to Dan James to prove you wrong.

    Unless he f*cks us off in the morning and then you're vindicated immediately.

    Orta after being on the phone and in his office all day giving a thumbs up to those waiting outside. Social media claiming this is in regards to Dan James EF534F07-5B33-4633-BA1B-488E1ABF0749.jpeg
