Just another thing on Xhaka. It's a World Cup year, probably his last and this is a pretty good Swiss side currently so I imagine he'll want to be playing at the highest possible level to prepare for it. Might swing it in our favour.
To be fair mind the window’s not over yet, but I do think Farke has a habit of making things harder than they need to be. I said at the start of the season that him and Wilder were a risk. One did blow it and Farke struggled to nail it with stronger more costly players.Leeds signings looking like good dependable players who’d do well in the Championship …
… I’ve doubt Farke will last the season though.
I actually think this is a decent signing for them, solid enough player - obviously nothing on Xhaka but still a solid signing fir themYou must log in or register to see media
In other news.... God bless kyril.
See that is a FAR more likely and understandable motivation. Right. I’m hookedJust another thing on Xhaka.

He is availableOscar

Harvey Elliot![]()
171 PL appearances. Still a good age with years ahead of him at 27. Faced relegation battles in the past. It’s a very solid signing for the priceI actually think this is a decent signing for them, solid enough player - obviously nothing on Xhaka but still a solid signing fir them
I dont rhink he moves the needle massively but he def improves them171 PL appearances. Still a good age with years ahead of him at 27. Faced relegation battles in the past. It’s a very solid signing for the price
He’s my new max bird mate, will bang the drum until he signs or goes elsewhere, think he’s absolutely perfect for us right nowHe is available
Elliot would be my 1st choice (well after Amad but I'm not going to dream that one), but Bobb is a very close 2nd and might be more do-able after his injury last season
Get a loan with a few to sign him at the end of the season
We are not getting Xhaka folks. Let's get real here. This is Marcin Bulka all over again.
I still believe Longstaff is a decent signing for Leeds.
I must be the only one on here who isn’t totally sold on Xhaka. It depends on which one we get - the calmer version or the walking red card of old. He left the pace of the PL for a reason I expect. And I’d worry about his motivation to perform at the other end of the prem too. I’m sure I’m just overly nervous - and truth be told I’d have been okay with us taking on the first half of the season with our current five - but I wonder about the risk profile of it all. It’s gonna be a lot financially and would be tough for us to sideline him if he doesn’t work out.
Aye hes a quality footballer, can play wide right or as an AMHe’s my new max bird mate, will bang the drum until he signs or goes elsewhere, think he’s absolutely perfect for us right now
Ok if you say so then it must be true, I feel so ashamed thinking we might just pull it off. Why did a genuine ITK like yourself have to spoil my joyWe are not getting Xhaka folks. Let's get real here. This is Marcin Bulka all over again.
This genuinely has made my jaw drop hahahaIn the same boat mate.
I would have preferred Henderson on a free.
As much talent as we can get combined with the ability to manage our finances over the short medium and long term. I’d instinctively prefer an appreciating asset over a depreciating one. Maybe the balance between dead money and immediate impact is okay with Xhaka. Certainly hope so.
