Good Morning. It's Tuesday 26th March, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road €40m exit speculated over Leeds star Süleyman Öztürk, the editor of Dutch media outlet Voetbal International has spoken out about Crysencio Summerville, and predicts a big money move away from Elland Road this Summer. Summerville has been an inspiration this season. Switching him to play an inverted winger / third striker role has paid dividends. So far this season, the 22yo has contributed sixteen goals, and 8 assists. With a 'Whoscored' average rating of 7.70, is the best player in the Championship. Jack Clarke is second, team mate Georginio Rutter third, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fourth. Öztürk predicts that Summerville will be snapped up this Summer by a top European side for around €40m (£34.3m). Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa have all been linked with the tricky winger, but Leeds will want to keep hold of their prized asset. He has just over two years remaining on his contract. “He is one of the best strikers in the Championship, from next season we will see him at a top club. He is going to make a transfer, there is no other way," “I would like to see him at a higher level. "He has developed fantastically over the past six months. He is fast and good on the outside, but also as a number ten. I think it should cost around forty million euros. He has become truly priceless [unaffordable] for a club like Feyenoord, one of the best players in the Championship.” please log in to view this image Italian scout lords Championship bargains An Italian scout (who does not wish to be named) has claimed that there is a lot of untapped talent in the Championship, available at reasonable prices. The statement comes following news that AC Milan made a last ditch £5m bid for Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell during the January transfer window. Unfortunately for the Italian giants, a deal came too late in the day to get considered properly by the Elland Road board. With so many promoted clubs bouncing straight back to the Championship after one season comes a somewhat stigmatized opinion, that talent outside the Premier League is sub-standard, and is therefor available at knock down prices. "The Championship has a big record for generating talent and it's a fast-paced league with lots of matches. There is a feeling that it is underrated in England and has produced many top players that now play in the Premier League but the talent is not hugely expensive. "It's not just about Jude but English players have also been successful in Serie A, guys like Chris Smalling, Ruben Loftus Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham. They did not come directly from the Championship but these players also did not receive the appreciation they deserved in England." please log in to view this image
Sounds like Ozturk is just pissing in the wind, its what he wants and has absolutely no substance to it. Dutch dick.
Morning All Promoted or not we're going to struggle to keep Sumerville IMO. I think it's more important to keep Gray or Summerville. If he does go then at least we've got £40 million to reinvest in to this rebuild project the 49ers want us to go on. The Italian guy is right there's some right bargains in the champs just look at Gyokeres at Sporting Lisbon. He went to Portugal from Coventry of all clubs for £17 million and now I think Chelsea are looking at him for about £60 MILLION. It's a matter of shopping smart not big.
Morning all. Don't get too bothered anymore. In five years, if able to travel to Elland Road, not one of our current players will be there. As for what we get for them, not overly fussed either as ffp is now rigged to keep the Leeds and Leicesters of the world outside top half of pl permanently while maintaining the top six as they are. Probably just the cynic in me and Im sure our younger compatriots have a much different view although having read some of the comments on the Brexit thread, some have already lost the plot anyway
The seasons not even over and here comes all this clickbait. I stopped reading this **** at least over a year ago. I only believe it if in on the official LU site.
That’s exactly how the top six here and the bigger clubs in the major European leagues wanted FFP to work. It’s why they’re so pissed with Man City for breaking their monopoly
