Transfer in's and out's rumours etc.

[Tichi1]

Leeds United are ready to table a loan-to-buy offer for Rodrigo De Paul after failing to agree the terms of a permanent transfer.

Why would the Italians agree to that after that other debacle still ongoing I would not blame them if they told us to go somewhere.

????? - What happened to the propsed loan then fella?

[Rev72]

Well we have got enough 'one for the future's' so how's about we get a few for the 'here and now's'.?

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Phil Hay reckons two more in.

If you read the FT article with the interview AR gave we still have about 50m to spend over what has been spent already.

Also seems the factoring of future tv income is to cover the hole created by CoVId 19 which seems more sensible.

Think RdP may happen in the next week - terms agreed with the player and player wants to come. Club want to sell so depends how badly we want him and they need the cash.

Hope youre right on all counts mate

Being reported that Udinese have dropped the asking price - maybe RdP will get done.

Like I said they probably told us to go somewhere lol. After what we did with the other promised transfer and are doing haven't finished yet who in the right mind do such a deal with us? Udinese has a player that doesn't want to play for them so they will need to reinvest on someone else. Simply they want the cash.
Weren't we trying to do the same thing with the Liverpool guy Brew whatever his name is and looked at how that went?

And this not from me since you think i made it up lol.

Udinese reportedly want close to £37million for the player, and Leeds are willing to structure a deal that eventually reaches such a fee.

But they would prefer an initial loan, as it eases the immediate financial burden.

How many times are we going to f00k about with transfers that are questionable at best and downright wastes of money at worst, when we have the players and the coaches to use what we have and teach the rest a lesson or two?

We fielded just about the same 1st eleven that got us promotion and spanked Liverpool at Anfield. Sure we have a small squad, but where have the frailties been seen? With new players brought in without the necessary grounding with what we do, that's where
And we have the players who can do what is required, we just need to have faith in them (yes, Tich, WS, HO, BB, thats me saying I was wrong, just to be absolutely clear), and use some of the newcomers when they have the right grasp of what is required (and from what has been seen of Gehardt, if he is given 1st team time, we have a diamond waiting to shine)

Agree but this is the premier league and you need a strong squad. I'm all for new players if we had the right people picking them.
There is no chance in hell that the kid however good he is will get a run unless 10 players get injured, I mean look at Pascal Struijk has been great since coming in and proved when he came on in the cup he settled the side down and played well. I hear in the grapevine he is getting dropped for Cooper. If that is the case it's not sending the right message. I mean plays great against the best team in the country and then gets dropped come on.

So much negativity, 1 game in where we lost to the current premier league champions, away from home and we are writing the team, club managerial team, owners off.

It's an absolute nonsense.

Sure if you look, you will always find some reason to be negative.

Still another 37 games to go, all we have to do is finish 16th, i.e. above 3 other teams and that is definitely a realistic target.

Only negativity is the money we spend on 2 players no negativity off the team where did you read? On the contrary, everyone was excited as after the Liverpool game.
If your talking about the cup game comments well they were deserved cause we were crap.
