    Lukas Nmecha - He is free, if we look at him as a replacement for Joffy or Bamford it’s not bad, we’re not signing 6-7 £25m players so if we’re looking at some freebies I’d prefer him over Vardy

    He’s not free. He’ll be getting about three mil a year so he’d better be good enough for first team when he’s called on. What an underwhelming signing to begin with. We can but hope he’s another Tanaka style signing

    Hearing Joseph to Betis for 10m euro, hold up is the % of any sell on fee being agreed. Clubs are no where near in agreement at present

    For that price I wouldn't be surprised if another Spanish club goes in for him.

    1. Manor Solomon came to us with a very poor injury record and that turned out to be okay.
    2. As a newly promoted side, who other than a punt, do you think we are going to sign?

    Looks like a direct replacement for Rutter but costs £40m less.

    Let’s see him playing a few games for Leeds before writing him off.

    I think for a free transfer he’s worth a shot, I just hope there is better to come. If we’re going into the season with him and Piroe as our strikers then I’ll fear the worse.

    Saying that, I’ve a feeling he is Aaronsons replacement and cover for wide right and left

    I agree with you but even a £20 million signing in the premier league these days is a gamble, look at scum, £80 million each on Maguire, Anthony and Pogba and all were ****. We could get lucky or not but there’s little to no risk in trying him (other than relegation of course )

    Looks like we could be getting Max Aaron’s for around the £7m mark

    We have a better RB already and don't see him coming to sit on the bench. Anyway, he did the dirty so can do one.

    Barely seen anything of Bijol mate, and never think highlight reels of centre halves show you much! I was so so re Cresswell, he was young and raw, and I'd have been happy to keep him but wasn't too despondent when he moved. Whether Farke doesn't like that type of player or whether Cresswell was demanding game time and a move if he didn't get it? No idea. Like you say, another load deal seemed obvious choice but hey.

    Back to Bijol, from what i've read he's better on the ball than Cresswell and can play left or right side CB. Also used to playing in a 3, though farke very rarely plays a back 3. If we play our normal system we need defenders with recovery pace. If we're expecting to play on the counter - and my guess is we'll have to play like we did at burnley and west brom regularly this season it's less of a deal.

    My initial thoughts when I saw this earlier was these are supposed to make a player look better than they actually are and if this is the best they can do!!

    However, I tried refraining from mentioning it as I was going to attempt to remain positive about him joining

    Feel this new lad is a squad option/replacement for possibly Joseph? As long as he’s not the main new winger/10/9 then that’s absolutely fine. It’s about building a good squad and he’s been playing Bundasliga so should do alright.
