    Stan Bowles was at my local club Crewe, was always in the bookies across from the ground, so my Dad used to tell me.

    I'd take a punt on him at £18m far better value than the £25m they seem to think Benrahma will fetch. I'd also go for Daniel James if I am honest

    We need better for sure, for all Bamfords hard work, he won't keep us up.

    Dan James started off at Man Utd and looked like £30m star in the making but soon the £18m price tag looked like a waste of money. Harrison has let himself down with end product at times but James has been woeful, missing a bag full of goals which were harder to miss and a lack of crosses that found a team mate. Think he should have come to Leeds

    We can't afford dan james wages. Thing is we are in such a strong position with just going up. We can afford to make offers because we will have cash so to speak. Many prem clubs without crowd money will be in the ****. This is probably the best time to be promoted and for once i think we got lucky.

    Thing is, Bielsa is a huge fan of James and he wouldn't just become a poor player. If Bielsa was still interested then I can't see any harm in saying to them we'll take him on a season long loan and give us an option to buy at the end, it might be just a small tweak to his game that he needs or change of position. On top of that I would happily give QPR the £16m asking price for Ezra and then Watkins at £18m would still give us a hefty chunk for a defender. James is on around £50k a week, I'd be amazed if that isn't the going rate for the majority of the PL bottom earners

    Rich my view is worthless and will stand by any decision Bielsa makes. So if Dan James still gives him a hard on then I love Dan James too. If he wants Billywhizz from League 2 Billy is top man for me, no moans

    No idea if he wants him or not mate, just throwing it out there as a possibility? I’m getting a job next week for one of those click bait sports pages on news now ;)

    Nothing wrong with Frank, he loved a beer and Elvis, that's good enough for me. <ok>

    Daniel Levy has confirmed that Leeds Utd have offered £10m for Juan Foyth a player Bielsa has liked since 2017 and a full Argentine International. Levy even joked that a deal could be done but maybe closer to £12m

    Shouldn't someone be on the WBA forum before the Mods close it due to lack of action? No posts since May 2019....

    Was watching on sky go at my local Spanish bar, awful game devoid of any quality (maybe the nerves tbf) but if we had converted our chances, we’d have won the league by a Liverpool like gap. Anything concrete on the transfer front yet?

    Just reading that he started his career as an attacking midfielder so you'd imagine comfortable on the ball, 22 years old, perfect for Bielsa to work on

    Has a major mistake in him every game according to spurs fans.

    Darn, I'd quite like to see Arthur Smith at Elland Road, I like his humour ;)
