2019/20 Transfer Rumours & Discussion Thread

[Irish Ian]

Burnley in for Bailey P it seems.

2.6M so probably less...

Now we can spend cash on a promising youngster before releasing him on a free in a couple of seasons.

BPF wanted to leave because he wasnt the sort of goalkeeper that was happy just "sitting on the bench".

He is now going to Burnley to sit on the bench . . . . . . . . .

£3.5m according to the YEP and we will go for a new goalie.

Ffs just promote Miazek and go for a cb and a striker and a 10!!!!!!!!

Even a defender and a striker would be fine for me

I doubt we'll spend any of it even though we are weak in a couple of other positions

[The Subhuman]

Awful lot to get for 3.5 ..A striker, CD and a number 10.

Indeed, may as well bank it

Tbh I think £3.5m for a goalie who is nowhere near the finished article is a decent deal for both parties

[The Subhuman]

Good deal for us..I'd say

[Brader]

3.5 the fee for BPF - I wonder if we’ll go back in for darlow now

No chance, too costly for a sub keeper, waste of resources, I’d be happy with a solid inexpensive back up

Angus Kinnear has given an insight into the current thinking of Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa and hinted at 'twists and turns' before the transfer window shuts.

So firstly either MB is lying again or he genuinely didnt want Jansson to go but accepted the decision again.

And MB wants only players better so if nobody comes in that is Radz's fault and Orta and not MB.

Over to you Radz and co.

This mantra about only accepting players if they improve what we have got is a bit ambiguous though.

Better than who? Gotts? Edmunson? How does Mb know unless we see game time.

Also does he really believe that we cant improve the squad with the money we have?

Come on Leeds try and pick up a player or two.

He said similar when asked about Saiz, he only wanted someone better then Saiz or he would make do.

MB not wanting new players is a myth, like any manager he will accept players if they make the side better but if they dont then don't bother.

Problem is the players he picks from are offered by Orta, if Orta is only given £3.50 to spend logically they wont be better then we have so MB wont want them.

I'm sure if Orta said "here Marcelo we can have Gayle, Kent, Bielik would you like them" then MB would say yes absolutely.

But its down to the quality of players the club offer him which is dictated by how much budget Radz gives Orta and what Orta can find.

[CSA]

What is going on at this football club, I hope someone knows what they are doing because I don't see it.

I am sure MB has a wishlist of players too. Maybe if one of the CBs or Bamford gets hurt on Sunday it might concentrate Ortas mind a bit.

I do understand that Ffp may be an issue but we gave gambled bringing in a too coach, so why not gamble a bit more beyond the Costa signing?

I'm not sure either CSA. Let's hope they do know what they're doing....surely there must be someone in the pipeline coming in we've not heard about yet

I thought Bielsa's mantra was get them in early and induct his way, as a squad (if Roofe goes) we are far too thin to post a real promotion challenge, we will have to rely too heavily on the kids.

No way the club needs £30mil to avoid ffp, if that was the case then serious mismanagement has gone on.

MB said if they could get 5 players better then what we have he would take 5, if none he would take none.

It is entirely up to Radz and Orta now.

I cant remember a window like this one where we sold or are in the process of selling £30mil worth of players and a few days before the first game we havent signed a single player permanently?

The trouble there though is that before we buy we have to sell so if we had no serious offers for Roofe until now then you can't sell him early to bring a new face in.

What it does seem to show is that maybe we over estimate how good our players are. First there seemed no real interest in PJ from the premiership or even leading championship clubs (profile wise) and now it would appear that there hasn't been much interest in Roofe if Anderlecht is the best offer on the table for him as without any disrespect to Anderlecht I am sure Roofe would have been expecting offers from at least a couple of premiership clubs.
