    We don't need James in order to get promoted, just the existing squad to perform as it can (and did against Stoke etc at the start of the season). If we get promoted, the James issue will be an irrelevance.
    So what if it performs like it did against stoke away and norwich at home ?????

    Get real, one player doesn't make a team, especially one who would (at best) only play for us for 12 or so matches. The SQUAD is what matters, and if they don't perform James or anyone else won't make a heap of sh1t worth of difference, end of.

    I understand what you're saying, but im off the belief that if they had made an offer a year ago, Swancsum still didn't want us to have him.

    Clearly you know nothing about football
    One player makes a team tick
    Grealish at villa look at the stats if you know what stats are
    And clearly you have never heard of a player called Eric Cantona
    Look where manchester united where before they signed him and then look where they finished
    You really leave yourself open with you lack of football knowledge
    Idiots like you just get destroyed on football forums
    My advice is to keep off them

    My advice to you is to read posts and digest before jumping off on a rant.

    We have a dozen or so games left, James would have played in how many, all? Yeah, that's how it's happened so far isn't it?

    If you're talking about post-promotion, fine, but that wasn't how you started your comments, your posts change to suit the change in your argument.

    And all this is academic, we have who we have and if we get promoted funding a Premiership squad won't be quite so challenging.

    Regarding Dan james..we fannied about way too much..we wanted him on loan till the end of the season with a view to buy.Its clear for all to see the lad is a talent so why not just buy him..that is if we had the cash to do it in the first place.

    Yeah Swansea made it difficult for us but in truth we made it difficult for ourselves.

    You answer your own question Rev, the reason we wanted to go the loan route is that we didn't have the odd £10m lying about.

    We have who we have, no point doing "what if's" about what can't be.
