Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Once again: thanks a bunch to that past-it Portugeezer who passed on Eze when he'd have cost us about as much as a Ginsters pasty...

 

Matteo Moretto now reporting on our interest in Giovanni Leoni...but also says that, for now, it's "just chatter"

 

Saddest thing is Jose or no Jose, with our track record over the last 5-6 years, Eze probably would’ve been “Jack Clarke’d”. Palace has been the perfect move for him and now he’ll have the pick of teams if he does definitely leave… hope that team’s us but I’m just getting pessimistic feels over it.

 

The thing with Clarke is we didn't tank his development, it was a combination of Leeds forgetting to count how many loanees they had, Lockdown ending his loan at QPR early, and his Achilles going when loaned to Stoke

It's remarkable how many things went against him in the space of eighteen months

 

Alasdair Gold claims that Leeds have interest not just in bringing in Joe Rodon, but are looking at options to either loan or buy Oliver Skipp. He then mentions we are still interested in Archie Grey. I'm sure it's just a coinkidink...

He also mentions Rennes' Desire Doue as a target - and Rennes do seem resigned to losing him as they finished midtable (presumably due to failing to fulfill some of their games...) with a fee of €30-40m being bandied about given he's got two years on his contract...though the competition for him can generously be described as "stiff"

 

Archie Gray (not Grey) has agreed personal terms with Brentford apparently.

 

Given their approach to transfers, that gives us approximately eighteen months to agree terms with him and Leeds

 

Bergvall joins on Monday, chin up.

 

Let’s hope he’s not sent on loan to the Championship!

 

So about how Archie Gray is obviously headed to Brentford?

Leeds rejected their offer

...and it looks like somebody has lit the Lange Signal

Possibly worth mentioning that Leeds ITKs say we had terms agreed with Grey since this time last week

 

Given his age, I doubt he will be in the first team squad next season.

 

Who said obviously? I said he agreed personal terms.

Btw is it even concrete that Spurs are interested in him? Or is it just rumours plucked out of nowhere by the Twitter saddos who can’t just enjoy the euros and Copa America and feel the need to make stuff up about club sides?

 

Alasdair Gold and Dan Kilpatrick have both said we have an interest for the last 2-3 weeks

Maybe keep the salt to yourself, eh?

 

Gold and Kilpatrick being two that are consistently wrong.

Salt?

 

You can keep the goalposts where somebody else left them, too

 

Eh?

 

You said "Twitter saddos" were reporting about Gray

When I pointed out that Gold and Kilpatrick have been reporting about him for a good couple of weeks, you change your tune very quickly

 

I didn’t change my tune,

Gold especially consistently contradicts himself.

 

I don’t think I’ve put those photos in correctly but you can see what I mean.

Yesterday he was saying it was good that Spurs had missed out on him and now he’s saying it will be a great signing. I just find him to be very inconsistent and imo he makes stuff up for clicks

 

"IF"
