    El Khannouss plays as a 10 or even an 8. He's not great on the wing.

    He would be an upgrade on Aaronson to be fair.

    He's not the worst. He's usually somewhere near.

    Wouldn't say he is ultra reliable but he is more in the know than alot of other journalists.

    Don't think we'll get him tbh. Villa and Arsenal are hovering. We might be the first ones to trigger the clause but he will end up elsewhere.

    On the Quiet front, surely that’s to be expected after we showed our buying power trying to get Paixoa and now every agent that has a player who one ran down the touchline wants to get his player to Leeds. Loads and loads of clickbait stuff but amongst all that there is something brewing at Leicester, now not sure if it’s 2 players or 1. Full back who plays both sides and the BAK player who plays 10. Deffo talks happening, or happened. Artem Dobvyk is the name making more noise than any other striker, especially all over Italy.

    If I was to stick my neck out on the BAK guy, if we buy him we won’t be buying another winger as we would have done £100m and the striker could cost £40m. Unless we do a loan deal of course?

    I still think we will raise £20-£30m in sales, Joseph, Bamford, Meslier, Schmidt

    El Khannouss is not a winger. He is a 10 or an 8. Very much in the Aaronson mould but better in my opinion.

    El Khannouss has a release clause of 25 million quid. Fairly reputable sources claim talks have started. I'd put it at around 75% true at the moment.

    No other rumours look to have much credence to them.....at the moment.

    The El Khannouss link is the one to keep an eye on at the moment. That one might go somewhere but this could be another Paixão deal where other clubs will be coming in for the player. Arsenal and Villa are the two who have been linked all summer. At this moment in time we can't compete with either of those two.

    Not sure about that.

    Edit...Bamford will go on a free cos of his wages, Joseph is overpriced at 14 million so will go on loan, Meslier might fetch 5-7 million quid, Schmidt is going on loan.

    Mes - £6m
    Joseph - £10m
    Bamford - Are you kidding me
    Schmidt - loan, then £4m

    In the event that BEK arrives from Leicester and he plays as a ten, it would obviously mean Aaronson dropped. Or does it mean that Aaronson is used more as winger as he can play on either side as it would seem it gives us options of 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 I am hoping Harrison has gone and we have options of Ramazani, Gnonto, Aaronson on the left and James, Gnonto, Aaronson on the right…… or are we selling Aaronson?

    They are giving it a real go. Got to commend them for that.

    Gulu makes 37 players and I don't think they are stopping. They're going to have to loan and sell.

    I reckon they're taking the Forest approach and signing who they can then refine the squad over the next few seasons

    Doubt Aaronson will go. Drop him to the bench and see what happens. Harrison is wanted by Everton from what I understand. The problem is we can't have a light squad this year or we're going to get punished
