    Good Morning. It's Tuesday 9th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

    Summerville caught up in £45m transfer merry go-round

    Leeds have slapped a £45m asking price on the services of Crysencio Summerville, after being linked with a move to the San Siro Stadium!

    The 22yo has been in sparkling form this season, scoring 18, and proving 8 assists. He is widely touted as being the best play in the Championship, ahead of Sunderland's Jack Clarke. Switching 'Jimmy' to play inverted winger / third striker was a stroke of genius by Daniel Farke, even if it occurred by accident, after the departure of Luis Sinisterra!

    Summerville is caught up in a transfer merry go-round melee that could see him join AC Milan, replacing Rafael Leão who is expected to join Paris Saint-Germain, to succeed Kylian Mbappe who is being strongly linked with Real Madrid.

    Should Leeds retire pink kit now?

    Most Leeds fan if asked, would prefer an all white home kit, and a blue or yellow (or mixture of the two) as their away colours; so whatever possessed the club to go all pink, even as a third strip?

    Leeds is a working class city, with a steep footballing tradition of physicality, tough tackling and Yorkshire grit, but in an age of equality and sensitivity, does it have a place at the club?

    In 2018 Norwich City, (under Daniel Farke's tenure) painted their away dressing room bright pink in a bid to lower testosterone levels for visiting players. Some clubs were so worried by this that they papered the entire dressing room with A4 white paper before allowing their players in!

    Away from home, it hasn't been a lucky omen for them. It may be their third kit, but they have lost at Coventry, Chelsea, West Brom, Preston and Birmingham whilst wearing the Pink kit!

    Morning El, morning all <ok>

    Surely we have a better record in pink than we do the peacock blue kit we have ?

    Why is it so important to have an away kit at all <confused>?, always baffled me, play in just white home and away, unless of course their is a clash, such as playing Swansea away of course, then an all yellow or something, like it used to be back in the day. i guess with all these alternative kits it's an extra income from the fans, who pay more than enough as it is.
    Good morning everyone.

    Morning all.

    If we don’t get promoted Summerville will be off. If we do get promoted, I fear if he would be enough of a team player against better PL defences.

    If Clarke doesn’t find a move to a PL club I’d take him back as a replacement should we fail to win promotion.

    We surely have enough men behind the scenes plotting all scenarios, those scenarios include what to do with the loan rats.

    I’d take any promotion, but deep down I know how vital the extra time an automatic spot would bring us in preparation for next season.

    Hello everyone i am awaiting a 5pm pitch inspection. Wakey are at pontefract colleries in the semi of the west riding cup. It's been peeing down and their pitch holds water it should be interesting if played.
    Summerville for 45 million it's a yes from me as i don't think he is prem quality. After all this rain i would be surprised if anybody stayed in this country. Do you want to get piss wet through or play somewhere warm is a no brainer.
