Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion

[pjm2019]

So you'd be prepared to offer him the same wages that Man U were offering him to be a back up? Maybe have to offer him more as likely MU could give him a bit of a guarantee that he would play cup games especially some in the Chumpions League sh*te.

For an accountant you seem very good at splashing around the cash with no thought to a budget.

well £40-45m , wages £100K per week to get in a replacement number 1 GK

We could have kept Meslier to be a permanent interpreter for Igor Paixão (deal still not dead apparently) while being handcuffed to Paixao 24 hours a day.

Igor Paixão: C'est l'heure de se lever, Mes ?

Meslier: "No. It is NOT time to get up yet. It's 4am FFS."

Even harder to believe he played in a World Cup before he was born

Bottom line is today is the 5th August and in 17 days our first match of the new season starts. Even if Trafford signs next week the current squad is not going to really improve on last seasons position. We need more quality

Oh, I would disagree with this statement! LUFC was something like 6th best over the 2nd half of the season. And will have upgraded at least two positions, and maybe three. If we can keep Daniel Farke from tinkering with what works, then I see no reason we can't move up at least a couple spots. If we could have turned 3 of our draws into wins last season we'd of finished 10th. I think we could have done that with better goalkeeping alone.

There is for Arsenal, don't sweep up Leeds rejects in future.
As the last one couldn't catch a cold

Does that also apply to Leeds reject David Seaman?

And maybe even John Lukic?

[Victor_OTT_17]

No we did not, stop making excuses for him. He won't even play for Arsenal it'll be Raya. Arsenal fans are known for ridiculously overhyping all their players, they're seen as a meme/joke for it. That video of his "saves" wasn't even that great

Then we're in disagreement so no change there

[Victor_OTT_17]

No we did not, stop making excuses for him.

We should have pulled Meslier out of the firing line a lot sooner than we did. I was lauding Darlow way way before we actually pulled Meslier. If we'd have pulled Mes out, we may not have destroyed his confidence/reputation saving him from making more mistakes (as he did). I blame the club for that. Guy was dumped and had nowhere to go afterwards. Shame because we could have gotten good money for him a couple of years back...

Well if Patsy goes on to be the French number one.

Charlie Crew to Wallsall on loan

[PhoenixUnited]

Darlow : i hear you but am still pissed off that LUFC board did not get him to sigh a new contract.

The player knew that his contract was ending and wanted to explore options when that happens. Looked at the offer from Leeds and said "Nah". What is the Leeds Board to do in those circumstances? The Club has a point beyond which it either can't or won't go - don't want to be doing a Ridsdale! Which is fair enough in my book.

Absolutely no chance this is true.

But nice to dream

No way I'd want Rafa Leao at Leeds. The guy is a locker room cancer....

Not sure he's quite that bad

If we want to progress can't limit ourselves to players who just say yes Daniel no Daniel.

Big players have egos, managing them is part of football.

Leao on one leg walks into our team.

Isn't happening anyway, we can't afford him.

[Pullhard]

From BBC Gossip quoting a German source.

Hamburg are interested in bringing Belgian Leeds United defender Sebastiaan Bornauw, 27, back to the Bundesliga. (Hamburger Abendblatt - in German)

Bit of a hit on this Deossa lad…

[Cjay]

Trafford is done.

Brandt turning us down means plans change (hence not pushing for Charles).

Still want the areas we wanted but budget has to stretch further now.

Left wing and attacking midfield still possible but won't spend big on both.

No plans to sell Okafor or indeed any interest but club wouldn't stand in his way If a big offer arrived.

Paixao is possible but not pushing to leave Marseille.

Stolen info of course

[Victor_OTT_17]

Left wing? Ramazani/Gnonto? We need a #10, #9, LWB...

Are your pals on the other site mentioning another striker CJay, or is he included in this bit?

Not my pals I just steal their information

Striker has been mentioned.

But no idea on priorities

We all steal information from somewhere, Cjay.

At least we won't get locked up for our online crimes.
