Good Morning. It's Friday 16th December, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Leeds negotiating with Cunha's representatives It has been reported that Leeds have made contact with the representatives of Matheus Cunha as they prepare negotiations to bring him to Elland Road next month. The 23yo has never taken to life at Atlético Madrid, and languishes in 20th place in the 'Whoscored' rankings with a measly 6.42 rating. With only 372 minutes of game time under his belt, it is feared he may not be match fit for the life in the Premier League. His only contribution this season is two assists, yet Atlético are demanding top dollar for the Brazilian. He made the move to the La Liga from Hertha Berlin during the 2021 Summer transfer window for a fee of £26m. Should he move on next month, it is believed Atlético are demanding to make a profit on their misfiring forward. please log in to view this image Orta may finally get his man Various reports are suggesting that Leeds are in pole position to snap up Wolves forward Adama Traore next month. The 26yo has fallen down the pecking order at Molyneux, and with just six months left on his contract, Victor Orta may finally get his man. The two know each other from the time they shared at Middlesbrough. Orta has always rated Traore, but sky-high valuations have always got in the way of a deal. Perhaps a move away from Wolves, may just be what he needs to resurrect his career. please log in to view this image Roca name-checked to replace Busquets Luis de la Fuente, (the new National Coach of Spain) name-checked Marc Roca as being a potential successor to Sergio Busquets, who at 34, is expected to announce his International retirement soon). The mere fact that he has caught the attention of Fuente, shows the progress Roca has made since his £12m move from Bayern Munich during the Summer. The defensive duo of Roca and Adams form a defensive partnership called a double pivot role. The success of this will go a long way to stave off the threat of relegation this season. According to Fuente:- "There is Rodri, who has a stratospheric level, (Martin) Zubimendi, Marc Roca." “We have very good players in all positions and that’s why I’m calm. To simplify, I’m talking about numbers. The 8 and the 10 have more arrival [in the area], I like the [central] players to arrive and the 6 is the figure of that player who stays to extinguish the fires that can be created in an opponent’s counterattack.” please log in to view this image
Its almost like Orta has found out Traroe is a relative.please go away with this story along with yet another Ryan Kent story Just looked at Traore stats and hes just an oiled expensive bit part player, very starts consecutive games, very rarely plays 90 minutes, only scores a goal or 2 with the odd assist every season. His most productive period was back in 2019. He hasn’t even played more than 20 games per season for the last couple of years. So big no
Morning plebs. Glad to see our little transfer leaks from the club are keeping you all happy. Still six weeks to go, exciting eh
For those of you hankering after injury updates… after painstaking facial recognition analysis to look beyond the snoods. I can confirm that the training video posted on lutv (5 dull minutes you won’t get back should be tempted) Jimmy was in the gym but not in the training. Perkins trained. No signs of luis, paddy, llorente, meslier, firpo or Koch it was chilly though, so they may have pulled a duvet day
Hip flask time, just remember your age and don’t be like a Newcastle fan with yer belly and teets out
I almost forgot that the transfer silly season was nearly upon us. No way will be spending in excess of £26 million on anyone. Was reading that Barcelona have nearly completed a deal for Ngolo Kante on a free when his contract ends in the summer. Traore? I’ve heard of feeder clubs but Wolves seem to think we’re their dumper club!!
