Leeds signings looking like good dependable players who’d do well in the Championship …

… I’ve doubt Farke will last the season though.
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.

I actually think this is a decent signing for them, solid enough player - obviously nothing on Xhaka but still a solid signing fir them
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 price

He 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
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 now
 
We are not getting Xhaka folks. Let's get real here. This is Marcin Bulka all over again.
 
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.

In the same boat mate.

I would have preferred Henderson on a free.

Aye hes a quality footballer, can play wide right or as an AM

Not sure he would cost a ridiculous amount, City seem to be sensible when selling their youngsters

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 joy

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.

Almost every signing we have made is an appreciating asset, to the point where it is probably questioned in some places.

Not every player can be like that, and their value would be in what they bring to us while they are here.

And don't worry about the money. That's their job!
