How on earth have they convinced Leeds to pay £30m for Daniel James?

Money left over from the Rio transfer I believe.

city were asking 40-50 for bernardo and they are no bids but leeds are willing to pay 30 mil for daniel james

Because even the mediocre PL clubs are stacked with cash and willing to throw it around. The market for Bernardo was not in the PL but around Europe. He can make sideways moves to European clubs but the only way to stay in the PL is down and he's too good for that.

In Bielsa we trust but I'm feeling a little embarrassed right now

Just for some context we wouldn't pay that for De Paul a year ago

How the fuck did they get £30M for james?

And selling a player just so fake ronaldo can wear 7

Fucking jokers

James is a Championship-level player. This is a mistake by Leeds.

Surely there must be allegations of financial doping in the pipeline?

I mean, are Leeds inadvertently looking to fund 'Manchesh Yoonated' by completely overpaying for an average player?

Answers on a postcard folks............

If you're suggesting Leeds are involved behind the scenes in trying to help the Rags out then I think we'd be ready to chase Radrizzani out of the club

Bielsa's wanted him for 3 years he must see something in him. I'm not happy at all about the fee but I trust him in that regard

Well like most managers they have a blind spot which sometimes hinders their judgment, Pep and the CL being our prime example but what I have seen from James in his championship prime year it didn’t leave me thinking wow he’s a player and I thought the scum were profligate in the fee but I thought your top brass were supposed to be very smart, 30 million is frankly just about 15 million overpriced and the rags get the benefit of allowing the seven shirt amazingly become available.

Not a good deal IMO

Wouldn't give 30 Bob for him. Leeds are fucking mad to pay that
