Being linked with a loan move for Bologna striker Federico Santander.

Paraguay international.

Sadly seems a lot more likely to be our European international striker option then Super Mario :(

Would you believe that we pay Eunan O'Kane a similar wage to what Balotelli gets :lol:

Mario took a huge pay cut to join his home town club.

Performance bonuses boost it though.

Lewie Coyle joins Fleetwood, permanently.
£500,000 thought to be the figure.

Ballotelli has fallen out with a few managers, is probably locker room cancer, lazy. Christ he even fell out with the one manager who showed trust in him. Think I'd prefer a move for Wayne Rooney if we could nick him off Derby.

Naw I have to disagree Steve Morrison is a better bet than Rooney.

Phil Hay
Chievo goalkeeper Elia Caprile due in Leeds over the weekend to tie up his transfer. The first of three if Leeds land the targets they're aiming for


Is Melsier or Casilla on there way out?

Why another keeper?

I rated Coyle, obviously not good enough

Good luck Lewie

Contingency planning for Casilla getting banned. Meslier steps up to first team squad meaning Miazek will step upto bench and we are short of someone for the u23s

1 for the future


I'd say it's Kiko has 2-3 years, Meslier moves up the new kid is the understudy.

Great first name.

I am sure Mb could polish him into a good player, and we do need cover on the wing.


Hope that our haul this window isnt a couple of kids

Don't often disagree but I think we need better on the right. Someone consistently good anyway.

I don't think so...... this lad is very highly regarded and there were 4 Premiership clubs after him, so made sense to get him now.

So we have two excellent keepers plus one very good goalie

One good striker (a team player but not prolific)

One excellent centre-back

One excellent defensive midfielder

One excellent playmaker (when Pablo is fit)

Sorry misread this first time .
Yes we need 2-3 players for the first team but no problem building for the future either.

Have to ask, if you think this is all we've got, then why do you think we'll go up as champions?

We're paying 15M for Costa, we kinda need him to play, Pablo is very good there, Shack when fit. It's Alio's best position..Couple of seasons from now he looks a great prospect if someone points out he has a right foot..
