    Think he might be past his sell by date. Thirty years old and basically been playing semi-retirement football for the last couple of years. I’d rather go for some hungry up and coming forwards.

    Yup. We're bottom feeders at this level. Sifting through the mud for any left overs. It's frustrating as hell but i feel for the recruitment guys. I keep reading that they're inexperienced etc. It may be true but what can they do? We'll get whoever is left when the bigger fish have eaten.

    What makes you think the he wants to come to Leeds ?
    He's just been through the drama of a relegation season with Leicester. You could understand why he's averse to joining a club that are favorites to go down again.

    And what makes you think he is Farke's #1 pick for an attacking midfielder ?
    Maybe he's just a fall-back option ?

    El Khannouss will have plenty of suitors.

    We will be just one of them. For those who want Leeds to trigger the clause (if there is one) and get on with it, the issue is that the player knows multiple clubs will be in for him so will tell Leeds to wait.

    Maddison has a serious injury. I'd expect El Khannouss to go to Spurs

    After furthur reading a few have said its true but apparently Antonio is prostituting himself around a few clubs and it seems he may have called in to see the lay of the land

    Hardly generous. With respect, how many over the age of 85 are fit enough to attend every game?

    Man City tell Everton that 100% of Grealish salary (£300k per week) needs paying for a year long loan. Seems obvious to me that if Grealish wants to move he needs to be bought and he needs to reduce his wages. I think he will be allowed to go for £30m which gets a £16m wage bill of City’s books, Grealish then needs to drop his wage demands for someone to buy him.

    Joseph may have to accept a loan move to Mallorca if he want to go back to Spain. A straight loan move with no buy option is the word on the street.
