I hope this is true, but I'll beleive it when I see him stood next to Beilsa with a pen in his hand

I've seen that everywhere.
It sounds like we have agreed personal terms with both James & De Paul. Don't think a transfer bid has been submitted for James, a bid was submitted for De Paul but rejected. Both transfers could happen if a fee is agreed.
We look to be debating whether or not we either can afford De Paul or we think he is the best value at that price. Rumours are that Udinese are becoming more flexible on their price and hopefully us playing the long game can save us some money.
James transfer looks like it is dependant on them signing Sancho, otherwise they will want to retain James.
Wouldn't rule out another bid for Kent either.
More than sensible for us to have multiple options and assess the best route to go down dependant on negotiations.
For me James is the least favourable out of the 3 because we need someone that can play centrally more than we need a wide forward/winger.
De Paul has definitely made it clear in public he wants to come to Leeds.
"For me James is the least favourable out of the 3 because we need someone that can play centrally more than we need a wide forward/winger."

thing is faith, Bielsa must really like him if he's in for him after the swansea saga.. to be honest, whilst I agree I'd prefer the other two, if Bielsa fancies him so much I'm inclined to think he sees something extra special. would be a poetic end to the saga if we got him
When you think of the players who have come in under Bielsa's watch - Bamford, Costa, White, Harison - and you think of what he has done with Coops, Kalvin, Dallas, Klich, Ayling, Bera, Tyler - honestly, is there a player that has not improved under his stewardship? - what a coach!
He could bring in Luke Varney and Federico Bessone and have the Premier League running for cover.
Apparently we have bid for Dan James and Erick Pulgar who is a cheaper alternative to De Paul who's negotiations continue to struggle. James is number 1 target, even ahead of Kent.
Apparently james isn’t an alternative to de Paul - it’s an addition too. Bielsa obviously sees something in the lad but I hope it’s an outright buy and not a loan so we get fekked over by scccummm
Bessone now theres a bad memory...……..
Drubbing at Barnsley away he came out for second half, couldn't hack it and disappeared down the tunnel never to be seen again I think...…...

For me another winger is just as much as a priority.
Rodrigo has played there and we have Roberts too, I think we have far more cover in the middle then on the wing.
James can play both sides and if Costa or Harrison got injured who else do we have who we would want to start on the wing?
If we signed both De Paul and James that would cap off an amazing transfer window
Sory, just to make my last post c;ear, I meant Roberts and Rodrigo can play in the middle
Also wouldn’t mind dele Ali if affordable as an alternative
