Something's got to give eventually. There's only so many good players out there and the price tags aren't matching the quality. Every transfer window gets harder and harder. It doesn't help with the likes of Chelsea hoarding players and then pricing them out of moves elsewhere.

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
You say escapes as though we were ever interested in him. He's had one good half season at championship level. The fact he's ending up going to play in France tells me that the interest from Premiership clubs wasn't there.
Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
If he was available for £8.4m, I'd say take a punt. But they'll want more than double.
Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
We were happy to pay 25m for James, now that was a waste of money !
Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Broja,Diaz, Maupay, Watkins, sarr, adam. all these would be decent options and would improve us. if they don’t want to spend big sums then try to loan them - all clubs around us happily strengthening whilst we just sit back and pray we have enough as usual - fools the lot of them. Depressing yet inevitable.
If they are spending money on the stadium then fine but don’t expect it to be full if we get trapped in the champ for another long stint.

Maybe we can get Ronaldo from Manure for cheap as no one wants him.

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Was Diaz injured the second half of last season?
He certainly disappeared from the game reports.
And that fee is well under the numbers that were being bandied around during the January window.

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Right, Cjay you're the best guy for this perhaps along with Faaip.
Out of all our new signings, how can we put them into a category ?
i.e : Speculative punt ? ( Raphinha ?).... Proven Prem player ? (Ronaldo ?)... Experienced guy ( James Milner?) you get my drift ?
I think they're all gambles.
Roca, Sinisterra, Rasmus, Adams, Aaronson, etc

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Another one for Faaip and his patience.
First - How long has Orta been here?
Second - How many failures has he had whilst here ?
Third - How much has he spent ?
Fourth - How many successes ?
And fifth how much potential profit do we see in players ( name them) as in - Meslier : cost 4m potential 30m ? ...Firpo : cost 13m potential - Knackers yard ?

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Give Orta some credit for signing some good youngsters that are pushing for the first team. Joffy, Greenwood, Summerville, Drameh, Hjelde and Struijk.
Have I missed someone?
They haven't cost a lot.

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Hearing all these Christian Pulisic to LUFC rumors today. As an American Leeds supporter let me just say this would be a TERRIBLE idea. The price tag is WAY too high for one thing. But I just don't see him as a Leeds player. And where does he fit in the system? I think he would be a huge disruption to the current squad.

Far to expensive
Would have much better offers
No reports of that over here.
I'd love Pulisic personally

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
It's six of one and half a dozen of the other. Can see your points on why you wouldn't have him. On the flip side, with a loan rather than a buy, I think we could afford him. Isn't the #9 we need, but would clearly offer something to the team. Not sure his work ethic is up there though.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 9:54 pm Hearing all these Christian Pulisic to LUFC rumors today.

Re: Summer 2022 transfer speculation and squad discussion
Conner talked about it on the One Leeds Fan Channel. Other than that just some rumors in minor USA media. Nothing I would call serious. Just thought I would get in front of it. Because like you said....It won't happen.

I love Pulisic! No issues with him in terms of talent, work ethic, or attitude. I think he's a great player when fit. But he's been injured far too often for both club and country. And what's he on about £140K per week???
