Now i see a conundrum here as pablo is mire right Roberts has withdrawn so should be back at the training ground.
It seems to me we already have a small squad, even if we sign de Paul (which would be some signing if we pull that one off) Without actually counting I'd say we have 20 relatively experienced first team players plus the u23s.
Yeh Madrid wanted him off the wage bill so were happy to let him go for free... we’d have to do the same - the problem is he came with a reputation ... but he hasn’t exactly lived up to it - so who would want him for free on those wages?
that’s the point though really. It may be a 1 in 1 out policy All supposition, I guess it’s a watch this space - but anyone who wasn’t a regular starter last year looks a bit vulnerable
Exactly, and besides, every team needs a wind up merchant, and there’s no one better. Get a few of the pampered PL tarts sent off for retaliation
Unless Bielsa doesn’t want him keep Roberts for now. I can’t see him improving much but we need a bit of depth. If he does go then £18m that’s the kind of figure we were being quoted for strikers less than 12 months ago and strikers who’d played less games. If teams don’t want to pay it they can look elsewhere and we’d better insert promotion clauses and sell on ones too. I’d be amazed if Bielsa sanctioned his transfer though
Kiko is playing against Stoke. That might be an indication that he's likely to stay. Although he might not have had a great season with us last year, as far as back up keepers go he's probably got one of the better CVs in the league, it's just a shame how much we're paying him to (probably) sit on the bench.
Keep your eye out for Casey today Leeds United XI: Casilla; Ayling, Casey, Davis, Douglas; Struijk; Costa, Shackleton, Hernandez, Harrison; Bamford Subs: Caprile, Poveda, Roberts, Gotts
