Sounds like Leeds might be upping joffs asking price, in which case I think we use it as an excuse to walk away. His form post injury hasn't been convincing.

£3-5 million was mentioned earlier in the season. I think £5-8 million is still reasonable. Anything higher than that and I think Leeds are taking the piss. We want him, he wants to be here so all parties should come to a reasonable agreement.
Haha yes I just responded to someone with just about that price bracket so agreed. Much more than 8 (unless we say 7m + 3m if we stay up or something) and I'd walk away.
Sick of hearing that Leeds 'want' this or that for Gelhardt. I'm sure they wanted it last summer too and they had to settle for a loan with no fee. I'm sure we 'want' to sell Akintola for £5m but the seller doesn't get to just choose a price. At PL level we aren't as desperate for him as they will be to get rid of him, so they'll have to accept what they can get.
Player decides where and if he goes.
"On the transfer side, what we want to achieve to make this club bigger is now finding the best talents for the future that will also perform well, and will give advantages for the future of the club," Ilicali told Hull Live.
"In order to make this club bigger, we have to bring in some players who can provide good football, plus good sales in the future.
"I really believe in our recruitment team. I really believe in Jared (Dublin, sporting director), and the eyes that brought us Charlie Hughes, (Mo) Belloumi, and these young talents and players. Now with the bigger budgets we will spend, of course, good money, but not on names, but on the potential and productive players.
"Maybe we need one or two magicians in the team, but I think one of our strongest things will be our fighting spirit, like we have seen this season. I think we will have young and potential players for this."
"For the next year, McBurnie would be a fantastic example. As you saw, I think he upgraded Hull City with his presence, so I think we have to bring one player that upgrades the team completely."

That’s interesting as I doubt that our agreement say that (someone on here will know?)
Was that rule in place last time we were there or has it changed recently?
We have a gentlemen's agreement with Leeds from last summer regarding the fee.
I'm sure I heard it was £3m, that article is just bluster to get some clicks.
That’s irrelevant. The player wants to come here.
Re Gelhardt......last summer we'd have taken 500k for Giles and been thankful for it, 12 months and some cracking form later we'd be after 5m minimum.....coming off the back of a season racking up that many goals and assists its not a surprise that Leeds want more than 3m now
Not simply any old 'Thread drift' but 'Educational Thread Drift' ETD

It's our time.
My worry is that you have used the words 'Leeds' and 'gentlemen' in the same sentence.
There was some general chat about Rangers being interested in Gelhardt a few months back but I doubt very much that Rangers have got the funds to get involved in any bidding war with us or have any desire to chase a player who's made it abundantly clear where he wants to go? There's also the issue of wages and apparently Gelhardt is on big bucks on Leeds's books and Rangers wouldn't be able to match the figure being banded about.
I'm not sure what sort of budget Rohl is going to be given but some of it is having to come from player sales and a share flotation expected to raise circa £16 million.He'll be fishing in a relatively small pool and will have nowhere near the amount available that Jakirovic will have at his disposal.
Did rangers qualify for Europe? They will get a wedge of cash for that plus the attraction of playing in a euro competition.
Ive a feeling he’ll tell them to **** off, The mighty tigers or no ****ing where….
Europa League,so yes,they'll lift decent money from that and I would imagine some but not all of that will filter back to Rohl.One big signing would likely wipe it out though.
This young 18 year old lad on loan from Spurs(Mikey Moore) has become a bit of a terrace favourite,wants to come back this season and Tottenhams survival has paved the way for his return.I have heard Rangers are serious about him long term but they'd probably need 2 years earnings from Europe to secure his signature...
