He’s crap though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only because he’s not been developed by a good manager
He’s crap when you can call on the players you can
If this were to happen, please tell me that there is no sell on clause that means Swansea get any money from the deal.
20 million ffs. I hope its not true. Imagine leaving business till the last minute to spend 20 mil on another Costa.......
Looks like we are going to actually sign him for £20 million and personal terms are being thrashed out.
So with no loan restrictions whereby he would have to start every game he can be introduced gradually.
I agree that under Bielsa James can fulfill his potential more with us but we really need another midfielder like a younger Hernandez who scored yesterday on his debut in a 3-1 defeat.
James though will put pressure on Harrison and Raphina to a lesser extent to up their performance and then James coming on with 25 minutes to go will be a real asset.
Only the 13th player to play for both clubs I think. Something like that.
Can't say I rate him but should have space to run into under Bielsa so could work but must say I doubt it as he looks rammal to me.
Best transfer of the summer.
He's got pace and would be useful off the bench but he's not as good as Jack or Raph. 20 mil when Raph cost 17. Id rather we try and find another Raph. Saiz and Alioski cost 3 mil each for instance.
Do Leeds have any issues with HG quotas at all? I figured not but it does seem an oddish transfer especially at that price.
He’s an average Championship player lucking it out at PL level
Surely paying £20m for someone to sit on the bench isn’t a clever move. Bielsa has always liked him though so interesting to see where he fits in given we are already struggling to find the right solution for Rodrigo. Strange but wtf do I know
He's very quick and he works hard. He can beat a man, but for whatever reason at United he wont, he stops and plays the ball back inside. Let him do what he's capable of and he'll be alright - maybe needs work on his final ball. Seems like a nice lad as well, never complaining or in the media too much. Good signing, I'd say.

Under Bielsa we had 11 average championship players then in a short period we have 2 of them selected for England and the rest have proven their worth last season as quality Premier league players so we will see what effect Bielsa has on James but I think you will see a vastly improved player that will more than justify his 20 million price tag.
You can't polish a tữrd... but you can sprinkle glitter on it.

I wouldn’t go that far. A facking shiiiiit championship player is more accurate.

Bit harsh that, Hoody
Can't wait for when James scores the winner for us against Man. U.
Wouldn’t take manscchhuummm fans take on james too seriously…. He was managed by a PE teacher and bielsa is 7th heaven compared to Ole…
He'll be a regular 10+ goals a season man.

Well it's looking like Leeds will be an average Championship team again this time next year, so it's a good fit I'd say.

He looks technically woeful to me and they are not my most favourite kind of player but his pace does mean that he could possibly be effective in the right system.
I hope this is more click bait BS. I felt we dodged a bullet when Swansea refused to pick up the phone. He's looked pretty average at them. I know MB has a thing for him. And he knows more about football than most. So if it is true, we'll have to trust him.
Which also makes me think does MB see Raph as a possible 10? Or is he just needing to load up on wingers? I can't see him ousting Raph or Jack.
Don't see the point in this if it happens, he's a winger isn't he, plays predominantly out on the left but can play on the right, so he would be cover for Jack or Rapha, wouldn't start ahead of either of those surely.
I would be saying no thanks if I was Bielsa.
What has happened to we will only sign players if they are an improvement on what we've got, is somebody panicking because this would be a terrible signing.
That said didn't he start yesterday?
