Just discovered that Kieran Tierney has gone out from Arse to Real Sociadad on a 1 year loan. He would have been a perfect LB for us, who can also fill in (better than Ayling!) at CB, & has done so excellently at international level in both positions. Real pity we missed out.
Looks like the Amiri signing has gone tits up too ... https://insidefutbol.com/2023/08/28...e-with-nadiem-amiri-despite-club-tour/617876/ Nadiem Amiri has not agreed on a move to Leeds United despite being shown around by the club on Monday. Leeds have been working hard to convince Amiri to move to Elland Road and looked to have pulled it off when he got on a plane for England on Monday. The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder flew from Dusseldorf to Leeds on a private jet and was shown around by Leeds officials. He has been unsure about moving to Leeds, not least due to his wife being heavily pregnant, despite the club agreeing a fee with Leverkusen for his signature. And according to Sky Deutschland, despite continuing talks in England, Amiri and Leeds have been unable to find an agreement. The move, which has been on and off in recent days, is currently off again. It is unclear why Amiri has decided he does not want to join Leeds, with the Whites willing to give him a four-year contract. The deal would see Amiri not take a pay cut on the amount he currently earns at Leverkusen, while if Leeds win promotion to the Premier League he would pocket a big pay rise. Amiri has been unsure if Leeds are certain to win promotion. With the clock ticking down on the transfer window, all eyes will be on whether Amiri has second thoughts again.
FARKE deffo chasing German league players. Wants Bulgarian International Iliya Gruev from Weser Bremen. DM
lol typed in Iliya Gruev Werder Bremen and the first link that appeared was for a 53 year old Bulgarian, who is assistant coach at Werder Bremen focussing on set pieces, and thought ok it is a nice to have, but can't really see him making an appearance in our first team please log in to view this image Then continued to read the article and found that Ilia Gruev is the above coaches son aged 23 who plays as a defensive midfielder, so I presume this is who you actually meant Doc. please log in to view this image I know I probably annoy most of you with my facts checking and asking for people to post links to where they get their information from, but it does stop people being misled when doing their own research Doc I'm not having a go at you, you just happened the be the current culprit, and I thought maybe we were actually after a new coach to assist Farke, as opposed to a new player
Personally, I'd keep him. Our only dead-ball specialist, can play DM, #10, & CF. The new Dallas? Or is that Shackleton? Happy with both in the squad. And yet Joffy gets picked before him .....
Maybe we are really after the 53 year old set piece coach, so we can have multiple dead ball specialists
