So we aren't signing an attacking midfielder because Abel is staying, so does that mean we aren't signing another striker aswell?

Or it's a money thing as we aren't getting the £20 million for Abel it's one player or another so we are sacrificing the Henricksen deal for a striker
 
Markus Henriksen is a midfielder- not a forward. So why would Abel staying have any impact whatsoever on whether we sign Henriksen or not? Completely different positions.

He could have been the player we bought with the extra cash, having spent ten of it on the actual replacement...
No extra cash now, so perhaps one is abandoned.

I dunno. I'm confused that people are suggesting a striker and a midfielder are the same position.

Just because a club "plays something down" doesn't mean it won't happen, folks. Plus, there has been pretty lazy journalism throughout - only time will tell.
 
Yorkshire post saying: [edit, as of now after our three confirmed]

Clubs sources have told The Yorkshire Post that two further deals are at an advanced stage with talks on-going with another couple of targets.

The Yorkshire Post can't even get his name right!
 
Yes it's worrying, I know we've signed mason but from what I've read on here Henricksens the type of player we've needed for......well as long as I can remember

Absolutely spot on Geo. Henricksen ticked all the boxes. To me he was the ideal player to bring in and could become increasingly valuable in the years ahead. What are we thinking??? Just hope the YP has got the wrong end of the stick here and the Norwegian/Danish press are right. Would hate to see him playing against us.
