Good Morning. It's Wednesday 10th January, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road PSG make shock move for Llorente French giants PSG have made a shock move for Leeds defender Diego Llorente, if reports in the tabloids are to be believed The former Real Madrid apprentice is currently on loan at Roma where he is enjoying considerable success, but their economic position isn't great. They do not have anything like the financial clout of the 11 time French Champions, who could be set to snatch him away from the Stadio Olimpico PSG Manager Luis Enrique knows Llorente well from his four year spell in charge of the Spain National team. He is keen to strengthen his squad, and see's the 30yo as someone he can rely on to shore up their defence. please log in to view this image Ayling set to undergo medical at Boro Luke Ayling is set to undergo a medical at the Rockliffe Park training complex, home of Middlesbrough football club later today. The 32yo is desperate for first team football, and after falling down the pecking order at Leeds, decided to answer Michael Carrick's SOS. Boro have a number of injury concerns in defence, and see the former Arsenal rookie as someone who can fill voids and add valuable experience to their team. Ayling lives in Wetherby, and will still be able to commute to his new club without moving house, and disrupting his family life. He is good friends with Sam Greenwood, who is also on loan with the Smoggo's from Leeds. please log in to view this image Auf Wiedersehen Charlie Leeds have set an asking price in the region of £4m - £5m for England Under 21 International Charlie Cresswell after the 21yo made his feelings clear, over lack of first team opportunities at Elland Road. He only signed a new four year year last August, and was regarded by being given the No5 shirt, an indication that Daniel Farke had big plans for him. He started the second game of the season at St Andrews, which Leeds lost due to an injury time penalty, and has not started a league game since. Charlie was bought to the club in 2018 by his father, and former Elland Road favourite Richard, whilst he was in charge at the Thorp Arch Academy, and swiftly moved up the age groups. Charlie's younger brother Harry also plays at the Academy. Ipswich Town, Middlesbrough and Blackburn are all reportedly keen to sign the 21yo as long as they can meet Leeds £4m - £5m valuation price. please log in to view this image
Leicester are not hanging around and starting to prepare for life in the prem by looking to sign Italian international Stefan’s Senesi. We however ….
Good morning everyone Unfortunately with Leicester it's basically job done, We however …. Well Let's just say we still have a lot to do.
Agreed and yet we have a new guy at the top of footballing matters in Steinmann or whatever he’s called we also have others under him now and still have Nick Hammond so you would expect we had plenty of irons in the fire yet …. 2 weeks into the window we just see the loans manager getting on with it
Morning all. Re transfers, an old friend of mine has a saying "Let there be no panic unless properly organised". Sad to See Bill go. Terrific servant and a real good guy it appears around the club but just not practical to keep players when they're near ends of careers and give them coaching jobs like fans would prefer
Probably because they are a virtual shoe in for the prem.... would be akin to the wall street collapse if they don't.....one guaranteed spot left
Spence gone, Ayling going, Cresswell going. Maybe we will just play with all the wingers we have accumulated over the years. Philosophy seems to be that you don't need defenders to get out of the Championship.
Agreed and we dont do something we are still in the championship next season end of. Whois Rodon stand in, oh it must be Struijk who is shyt on the right and Cooper can only play left too. So right now it has to be Ampadu because he doesn’t want Cresswell. This is why I find Farkes defensive plan a joke. No RB no LB and offloading CBs so needs sorting now
best bit about the goal is the defender who's meant to be marking Paddy just randomly falling over well ok, the goal was pretty good too.
We're going to play 1-5-5 and go for the Kevin Keegan 'We're gonna score one more than you' approach.
Interesting point made by Doc on the transfer thread about Cody Drameh and how he's still technically still our player plus it must be virtually unheard of for a club to lose four right backs in such a short space of time. Ayling (loan Boro) Drameh (loan Brum) Kristensen (loan Roma) Spence ( loan from Spurs cancelled) Good news is we've still got Archie & Skaks otherwise some might begin to wonder what the hell's going on
