    i hear you absolutely, its just a hunch
    - we have been linked with an icelandic younger striker who might be 'joseph replacement'
    - DCL is like for like with Paddy (old crock<laugh>),
    - nmecha for geldhardt, promising youngster who's career plateaued

    maybe they all fit a profile<laugh>

    I just have a gut they are planning to splash out on another no 9, after getting DCL whose wages will be huge but whose 'free' from a PSR perspective

    The Icelandic striker would be a good shout. Orri Oskarsson looks the part, fast, powerful and scored a lot of goals at all levels, now in La Liga at Sociadad.

    Milky’s point on Okafor made me check something and if it’s true he could come to Leeds well the problem is we will be asked to pay over the top simply because Milan want to replace him with Manor Solomon. Ironic really as we could end up subsidising Milan getting Solomon…

    Joking aside, how exactly do you think doctors check a hamstring ?

    As well as observation of movement, they also do either or all of a CT scan, MRI scan and an ultrasound

    And that'll tell them the likelihood of the hamstring getting pulled again ?

    James McAtee and Arnaud Kalimuendo both sign for Forest, that’s another 2 players we were linked with but never put offers in for

    I believe we enquired about McAttee but were told he wanted a team playing European football, Villa were his choice but they weren't interested, at the price

    Not sure if either was a good investment - IMO, McAtee is over priced at £30m.
    I'm not sure if he's a winger of a midfielder.

    Too many Leeds fans want someone to blame for us not signing the best players available.
    When the brutal truth is that we're a promotion team and are odds on to go back down. This coming season is going to be tough and if we were offered 17th place right now, we'd take it, no question.
