Meanwhile behind the scenes ........ the ones that got away.

I'll say it again. Nice to be listed in with the likes of this striker than getting turned down for some free transfers for some "has been" player that was the norm several years back.
Do have to say however, if you are going after some unproven striker that's never even played English football it's hard to believe we won't splash big cash for White. Not complaining. Just kind of a head scratcher. Not sure if we really thought the guy would come to Leeds but a $35 million offer is pretty scary. Eats up a huge chunk of the budget for the team. He's a shrewd businessman so i"m sure a lot more going on than meets the eye on this offer.
Of course there is a lot more going on spaldy mate, easy come, easy go. MB will have more then a folder or two on players world wide! The ground work was all laid out and down months ago imo. The two young lads we just got were out the blue for most of us. I just get a kick out of reading all the players being thrown about our way. Few more surprises coming our way I forecast.
Cody Dramaeh. Another 18 yo.
With all these youngsters coming in we should be a champions league winners in 7 or so years
Kalidou Koulibaly the French born centre back for Serie A club Napoli and captain of Senegal appears to be the best centre half around and is available for £60 million.
If Man City get him John Stones will surely be shifted out and his worth is around £25 million which for a ball playing technically gifted centre half is a snip,IMO.Only reservation is he's prone to silly niggly muscle injuries not helped by spending most of his time bench warming for his £100,000 per week.Barnsley born and maybe 'wiser' to not want a move to another big gun likes of Chelsea or Arsenal to bench warm and someone Bielsa could like on board.
Just shows how talented kids who opt for big moves like Stones don't always aspire to fulfil their early promise Mr Ben White.
