Mike Saaid Ezetahali is an Iranian International central defender and think he was on loan at Reading back end of last season Not sure about the truth in this because I assumed Bielsa had gone back home for a holiday, but supposed to be meeting QSI today and apparently was in Sweden at the weekend to run his own eye over Swedish International winger and another player from OBK. He and Orta are reported to have been there nd Stayed to take in another game with them playing. Forest are also supposed to be chasing at least one of them?
Afternoon all Thank god these players we are talking about today, are just rumours & speculation, i for one want seasoned pro's from PL/Championship,not players that look good from sub standard leagues,if Barker couldn't even get a game with Preston as was mentioned,why would we want him. Potentially very exciting news going around on a take over,but keeping my feet very firmly on the ground,until we here something more concrete. To me the longer we here nothing official on the transfer front,the more likely a takeover,or vice versa.
Interesting if Bielsa is meeting QSI today. Doubt that would happen if theyre only taking a minority stake, sounds like something bigger
Hmm wonder if your on to something their Eire,sounds like the sort of preliminary meeting that QSI would want, to hear about Bielsa's plans for next season, and what the club would require to get them out of the championship.
Considering these YouTube compilations usually make everyone look like Pele I hope this target isn’t true, he looks poor on this footage so if this is the best bits...
Sold down the river without a paddle I feel sorry for you guys Rad is a business man why do I get the feeling he will come out of this smelling of roses and Leeds Utd smelling of ,,,,,,,,,,, Onions
So looks like Dan James is a Man Utd player £15m plus £3m add ons. Hope he enjoys his time not playing much
I thought that when I saw Kiko Casilla’s ‘promotional’ video. It’s supposed to make him look the dogs nuts but he looks ****ing useless Well not exactly useless but positionally all over the place. Strangely enough it didn’t have any clips of him rushing 30 yards outside his area
Trouble with you Mighty you haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Don't waste your tears on us save them up for Nillwall next season, you'll need a reservoir of them.
Leeds United are targeting loan deals for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Helder Costa and young Brighton defender Ben White. The pair are on United’s radar as Marcelo Bielsa pushes to secure a number of his targets before Leeds begin pre-season training at the end of this month. Costa, the Portuguese who Wolves signed from Benfica for a record £13m in 2017, would represent a significant coup and is expected to be made available in this window after a bit-part role in the Premier League last season. United will be priced out of a deal if Wolves attempt to move Costa on permanently but the Elland Road club are looking to see if an agreement can be reached with Wolves and Costa’s agent, Jorge Mendes. Costa, 25, was heavily involved in Wanderers’ title-winning year in the Championship in 2017-18 and his pace and direct play has attracted Bielsa’s attention. White, meanwhile, is back on United’s radar after first drawing interest from West Yorkshire last summer and is wanted by Bielsa to strengthen his centre-back ranks. The 21-year-old was put forward as an option in Bielsa’s first transfer window as head coach but Bielsa ruled out a move after deciding he had sufficient cover across his backline. Leeds, however, have continued to monitor White, who spent the 2017-18 season on loan at Newport County and finished last term with Peterborough United in League One. White is a product of Brighton’s academy and turned professional in 2016 but he has been limited to two League Cup appearances for the club and the centre-back positions at The Amex have been dominated by Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk. The pair missed just five Premier League games between them this season. Liam Cooper and Pontus Jansson were Bielsa’s pairing at Elland Road for much of the Championship term but while Cooper is expected to take up a new contract this summer, Jansson’s future will be open to question if major offers materialise for him. White is seen as competition for both of them, rather than a replacement for either, and he is likely to be made available by Brighton again after the club staved off relegation to the EFL last month. Whilst Bielsa is keen on landing White, wingers are a priority for the United boss and up to three could arrive at Elland Road before the transfer window closes in August.
Don't know anything about this chap White, other than he plays for Brighton. Which is alarm bells for me. Reason? New manager will want to assess the whole squad, and one of his regular CBs might be sold from under him. So it's all up in the air & might never happen even if we were desperate for him, especially if Bielsa wants players in before pre-season starts. From the lad's point of view, why would he want to drop a league (and wages) to sit on someone else's bench? Could happen, but I doubt it will be a quick signing if it does come to pass.
