So as we stand this morning 4th August we have released or loaned out 9 players. We have sold 15 players and on top of that could be in the process of selling: Ideguchi Pearce Roofe LDB Ideguchi and LDB should be confirmed shortly and If Pearce and Roofe are confirmed that would mean 28 players gone in this window. There are also the likes of Cibicki, Nessy, O'Kane, Bouy and Anita which will mean a huge 33 players moved out
Paul Robinson being interviewed on Sky confident we will see three new signings, said he knows for definite the coaches are concerned about Kiko they’ve been spending extra time with him concentrating on crosses.
The young boy Ben White best player on the park. Who would disagree and who agrees that Bielsa sees things we mortals dont. He brought this kid in because he wants a CB to do certain things in a certain way. White delivered in spades. So if Bielsa wants some teenagers who am I to question it
That's unbelievable until you pointed it all out. The majority were neccessities to get rid of but the one rumour still persisting is regarding Phillips. He is vital for our season going forward and under no circumstances should he be sold.
Well its Tuesday 6th August 48 hours before deadline day window closes. Here's where we are right now: Coming in Rafa Mujica - Free - Barcelona Jack Harrison - Loan - Man City Helda Costa - Loan to Buy - Wolves Ben White - Loan - Brighton Jack Clarke - Loan -Spurs Loaned Out Coyle - Fleetwood Grot - Vitesse LDB - Aris Released Sarkic Balboa Machuca Odunston Rae Diaz Nicell Sold Ekuban - Trabsonspoor - £1m Wilks - Barnsley - £1.2m Saiz - Girona - £3m Sacko - Anatiopol - Undisclosed O'Connor - Bradford City - Free Halme - Barnsley - £900k Ideguchi - Gamba Osaka - £1m Kitching - Forest green Rovers - £100k Jannson - Brentford - £5.5m Clarke - Spurs - £9.5m Wollerton - Barnsley - Undisclosed Denton - Stevenage - Undisclosed Dalby - Watford - Undisclosed Rey - Real Validiolod - Undisclosed BPF - Burnley - £3.5m Roofe - Anderlecht - £7m Pearce - Barnsley - £800k Total excluding undisclosed fees £33.5m Still to move out: Anita Cibicki Nessy O'Kane Bouy 27 out of the door with another 5 still to move = 32 players should be gone within days
Thanks for keeping on top of this, Doc, as I doubt I could have. Much appreciated. Do we have any clarity on either O'Kane's or Rae's status? Even looking at this simplistically at this point, i.e. 5 in, 25 out, that's a lot of extra wages we were paying out last season. At a conservative average of £3k pw, that's about £3m saved in wages alone.
Nessy has refused a move to a L1 club so far LDB is close to being gone but negotiating his release terms as Greek club want him. Anita also close but a greedy git and wanted too much in wages from a Greek club so speaking to an MLS team. O'Kane I have no idea as he should be back to full fitness now Cibicki is a wanted man Bouy is useless and needs releasing Pearce will end up being loaned out Regarding all those wages you need to remember that these players will be paid by the clubs who loaned them, yes a couple will have had wages subsidised by us but in the main they paid their way. However you are correct in saying a few million now off the wage bill
Thanks for the update as I'd never remember everything. The still to move out ones need to be sorted asap
Looks like the Pearce move might be hijacked by Wigan. Don't really care, but the extra cash will be most welcome. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co...fG4PV8GP9A5IxrArjO_8jr14RkuSMUVy5RC1HFEs7R38Q
Confirmed. Pearce to Wigan. https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/25297/tom-pearce-makes-wigan-athletic-move Popey reckons £300 in the kitty.
Can I reinforce what Jock said the other day, great job Doc in keeping us all right on the potential ins and outs all summer, a labour of love if ever I saw one.
Thanks @Doc for keeping this one up to date, it’s been more than handy keeping up with the outgoings I’d never have remembered them all. I’m removing the sticky unless anyone would prefer it to remain a while longer.
