not convinced this is the best deal for either party.
if we dont go up
we could lose him to someone else after putting him in shop window and you could end up with a player who has 12 months left and could run down his deal and leave on a free
guessing you guys want us to be promoted big time now?
get the rumoured 10m or more. |

obligation to buy if we go up.
if we dont, then prob just buy him anyway for less than the agreed price. providing he turns down new contract |

pretty big deal if its right
2m loan fee for 6months. not cheap.
then potentially another 10m if all add ons are activated if we go up.
you hardly been mugged off here. |

im not.
ive been here many times.
players with potential being sold when the clubs in financial difficulties etc.
im just very surprised at the denial over the idea he wants the move
- more money
- move back to where you are from
- handpicked by a coach regarded as one of the best going
- top of the league
- a club who plays young talent and improves them over spending millions
- chance to test yourself at the highest level next season (if all goes well)
or stay and play midtable championship football, for a club that at the moment look to have no ambition to get back to the prem.
its exactly why lewis cook, delph, snodgras etc all left leeds. |

no arrogance at all
but id hardly describe us a rivals.
one financially troubled , one on the way back.
just a transition, we havent been rivals ever, not been in the same league for many years. |

you might end up being very surprised.
honestly ive never seen anything like it, the way bielsa makes players better.
we finished 15th with pretty much this team last year
made bang average chumps look very very good
really excited to see what he could do with james |

I heard the same about the contract, G. But then I checked it out a bit more. And a bit more. And, sadly, I don't believe that to be the case. He's said, clearly, that he wants to go. As rubbish as that is to hear. The wider picture is a shower of shit, I agree.

also wouldnt surprise me
weve had numerous owners who have played those types of games.
this is trademark bates/gfh/cellino
wait till last day of window, sell young talent, no time to replace them and pretend they were desperate to get out. |

also some insight from our end
looks like this loan deal would mean you potentially get a bigger lump sum in the summer
also goes into next seasons accounts to help with ffp etc |

Hi
wasn't trying to disguise myself.
I fully understand your situation. its a horrible situation to be in.
just saying im not sure its a total shock he wants to come, clearly conductiing himself very well though. no formal transfer request etc. |

I'm not sure why there is so much disbelief that he genuinley wants to leave.
move back to where hes from
top of the league, world class coach who loves developing young players, has hand picked him and wants to work with him.
swansea clearly in bad financial difficulties and he possibly sees that the next few years are going to be a struggle |
