23 Jun 2017 12:53:34
but other sources have it as 1.2 or 1.5 million euros

23 Jun 2017 14:20:26
Lets see if itsgood value Give lad a chance.

23 Jun 2017 20:20:12
Bargain, well done Rads lad that's simply lovely

24 Jun 2017 18:45:07
I think Rads has plenty in the tank Martin!

24 Jun 2017 19:52:27
Let hope the lad has a bloody good shot then Farsley!

23 Jun 2017 12:46:11
We have allegedly put a bid in for Samu Saiz. Scored 12 last season in Spanish 'B' league and 8 assists. More of a playmaker than striker by all accounts.

23 Jun 2017 11:34:14
Rumour that Klich is fly into Leeds for talks

23 Jun 2017 12:44:23
He signed this morning

23 Jun 2017 11:33:49
We seem to be linked with some quality players this summer hopefully this is a good sign.

23 Jun 2017 09:56:52
Every thing OK with medical klitch to be unveiled at dinner time. Monk tried to hi jack move but failed. Nothing new there then.

23 Jun 2017 10:44:47
I tell ya. i'd love it. I tell ya. i'd really love it if we stick it up boro. Love it if we beat monk.

23 Jun 2017 11:43:20
Supposedly it was Monk who suggested Klich to the Leeds hierarchy before his departure, so not surprising if he stuck a late bid in. Hopefully he (Klich) proves to be a gem. At €1.5m we aren't breaking the bank to find out.

23 Jun 2017 18:27:57
Get over the monk obsession, he's Middlesbrough's manager and he will be looking at higher quality now because he has the funds. So what if Leeds go there and win them lol Middlesbrough are still a better team.

24 Jun 2017 21:45:54
What are you on swad? The wrong site i reckon for starters. There are no better or worse teams mate until the battle commences. let's see who finishes where before we decide if they are good or better or not. The league this year is harder so will be many surprises.

22 Jun 2017 15:59:18
Medical underway for £1.5m polish international . This is a very good signing, rumour has it the transfer budget is circa £20m . If this is correct we could see 8 or 10 more good quality players in the £1m to £3m price range come in . If this proves to be the case, think Monk had his head turned, as with this level of investment he should have been confident enough to stay on and do the job, thereby proving he was worthy of the longer contract he wanted and thought he was worth.

22 Jun 2017 16:39:07
I think bridcutt will go now keep okane I just think we may go to another level next year. A big name manager doesn't mean success. Get another striker or push Rolfe upfront and I think we could be there abouts

22 Jun 2017 18:56:22
Brid won't leave, Phillips loaned out More likely, perhaps Sheffield united or burton? I wouldn't mind that.

22 Jun 2017 20:15:25
Monk apparently wants too take brid too boro. ? And has told downing he can leave. 32 years old but still a decent winger. Can cross and score. Cud do a deal maybe. Not sure if downing has a few or can go free. ? ⚽️😃👍

22 Jun 2017 21:04:50
Steve Evans is the source for the £20m figure so dismiss that immediately. He knows nowt. He just likes to think he does. Probably gets a few quid per quote. I doubt any of the regulars will be sent out on loan until TC has had a good look in pre season. He'll have an idea of what he wants from then and what he needs to add "to the group" as GM was so fond of calling them. Hernandez I really liked but if he didn't play neither did we. I can see him staying but not being the main man. Roofe I can see improving. I think there's better value than the rumoured £7m for barts even though he was a rock for us last year. Looking at some of the names being quoted, it's the second summer of optimism for over 15 years. That said there's few teams that look an easy 3 points and the ones that do, we lost away to last year. It'll be a dog fight every week. On, on, on

22 Jun 2017 22:10:08
A budget of £20m is probably not enough, unless we get lucky. I mean Hull and Sunderland have already received £17m and £25m respectively for players they've sold, plus parachute payments. I wonder how big their budgets will be?

22 Jun 2017 23:10:54
20 million is not enough to keep up with the rest. People talk this klich player up like he's a good player lol sorry but other than he's cheap his record is pretty lame. if you want to keep up you need players like bakary sako or someone who has played in this league and has been brilliant.

23 Jun 2017 01:18:47
Swadlad the lad hasn't even kicked a ball yet TCmightnhave ideas for him to play a different role or position? Personally don't see brid as captain this year, could we'll be jansson, green or wood for me? Who knows eh gents

23 Jun 2017 01:49:04
Not sure how you come to that Swadlad, Klich scored 6 with 4 assists in 29 games last season, scale that up to a champ campaign of 46 games and that's 10 goals 6 assists, more than the rest of our midfield put together. Also you can't compare him to Sako, he plays in a different position, we are looking at Alioski on the wing who scored more last season, in fewer games than Sako in his best season. No guarantee he would do it in the English Lg, but since Sako has scored 2 in 2 seasons no guarantee he could do it again either. Bringing players from overseas is a risk but they come in a lot cheaper and with lower wages. Do you think Jansson would be £3.5m now he's tested? Add loans and frees and I think we could easily challenge with a £20m spend if we recruit right.

23 Jun 2017 06:14:43
I agree gum and samo. Buy 6-8 cheaper players and you can afford a misfire or two. But 3-4 $4mill plus players and they all got to bear fruit. don't want brid this year let monk have him. And not realky wanting sacko or herna to be a starter. Think janson the obvious captain if he stays and can keep ego in!

23 Jun 2017 08:38:32
So what look at his overall record, ok he had a decent record last season but 1 season is no good to judge a player on. Bridcutt was our best cdm by far last season so if we get rid of him then we will need a good cdm and that's not klich, I agree with Hernandez shouldn't be a starter because he lacks effort imo. Sako is proven winger in this league n seems as we have Dallas and doukara who play in his position it's mad that we ain't even looking at him to join. We need to sell rubbish like Hernandez, Phillips, Dallas, antonsson and replace with much better players.

23 Jun 2017 09:05:00
Rubbish like Hernandez Phillips Dallas. ? Hernandez playing welll won us more games last season, Phillips is a good young prospect and will come good. Dallas when played ran his socks off and put effort in just final ball was lacking at times. But is a full international player who started at euros last season and is in the brink off World Cup qualifying with his country. So to say these guys are rubbish is a bit harsh. Also monk had them ( team ) playing defensive so I think you might see a different team and style from these 3 and team this season. In my opinion. MOT ONWARDS N UPWARDS. ⚽️⚽️👍🍺🍺 AND DOWN THE PINTS 🍺🍺

23 Jun 2017 09:19:12
Im not sure sacko is any more proven than douk or dallas. None of the really good enough.

23 Jun 2017 18:39:45
You keep your beer bottles on then, it's simple a team like Leeds should be in the premiership not struggling to get out of the championship, Hernandez is terrible, yes he got a few goals but he's a cam that's what he gets paid to do, and far to often last season he went missing. That was 1 of the biggest problems we had imo that lack of effort behind Chris wood. This samu saiz who we seem to be after is very similar which is disappointing. Phillips has effort definitely but he isn't great at defending or attacking so I'd rather sell and buy someone who is good at defending or attacking because Phillips is not niether. And as for dallas, he's just not going to get Leeds promoted, he will score 2 or 3 that's it, I didn't say our sacko I said sako from crystal palace is the type of proven player we need not the pathetic midfield we have at the minute. Where is our Tom cairney? I know he's well out of our price range but come on where is anyone similar to him in our team? That's what we need not Hernandez or samu saiz who will get you 5 to 10 goals a season if that.

24 Jun 2017 21:44:31
Dont really understand Saiz and I think Hernandez will be dropped if we play 433 this season Swad, also agree Philips isn't good enough right now but young enough to send out on loan, time to improve. don't see Dallas as a starter but like Douk his versatility makes him a good squad player, and we lacked depth last year.

Our mid is far from trash though, we played a certain way under Monk, with a 3 man of Bridcutt (or O'Kane) , Vieria and Klich we have a good balance of bite and forward movement (1 DM, 2 CM) .

I think your looking for us to bring in 20+ a goal player though, they cost stupid money, adding 2 or 3 goals in a couple of positions adds up quickly, is much more frugal and has the same outcome.

22 Jun 2017 14:19:49
Marius Klich deal 'all but done' according to Dutch press.

22 Jun 2017 14:32:18
Looks like a good signing if it comes off. Along with the other two that have been mentioned, shows the sort of calibre of players we're in for and will hopefully persuade the likes of Woody etc that the future at ER is bright. MM

23 Jun 2017 10:40:07
If you glance a sneaky eye at these players records that could be coming in, it's assists and goals, so I believe TC has studied last season and knows in the championship, the best form of defence is attack. He's already said he wants to dominate games and score. He might turn out to be a flop yet, but he's only said good things in my eyes. Be interesting to see where his philosophy has us 10 games in, I'm genuinely excited. If his style is anything like Jokanovic at Fulham, then we could be in for an enjoyable season.

21 Jun 2017 16:56:41
Looking at Van Peppen (31) on a short term contract to replace Taylor at LB. Anyone watch the Dutch Lg and know if he is any good?

21 Jun 2017 16:09:45
So the new mans in and his targets are being made clear already. Mateusz Klich - central mid. £2m bid suggested after having initial £1.5m rejected. Alioski- Right wing/Striker. £2.6m bid lodged waiting for a response. Prolific last season scoring 17 goals and 14 assists in Swiss league. I like the sound of this one but what happens with roofe and sacko. Samu Saiz - striker/ attacking mid. 12 goals and 8 assists in second Spanish division last season. Eibar have made a bid but we're looking to steal for £3m. Similar player to pablo but about 8 wars younger. Also been rumoured by the sun and Steve Evans that Leeds have about £20m budget for this summer to rediscover a promotion bid. Probably false as we'd need to buy the stadium first and rads has discussed this. However he may be making a gamble on security of promotion this season to fund a development of ER next year. Thoughts about this?

21 Jun 2017 16:48:32
TC prefers a 433 formation and with Roofe able to play LW and ST it could actually help him, Roofe-Wood-Alioski, that said I would rather bring in a LW as I don't think Roofe will score enough (perfect time to bring Mad Max back) .

Sacko would take a hit but it might do him good to have someone like Alioski to learn from and compete with for that place. The strange one for me is Saiz, I don't see how Hernandez fits into a 433 as is so why bring in a similar player. £20m might not be far off the mark, we expect to get £5m for Taylor, would expect to pick up a couple more mill from clearing out some of the unwanted players, talk of another £5m if schmeichel swaps clubs, running costs are down, ticket sales up, etc.

As for ER it doesn't count towards FFP and Rad is wealthy enough to buy it back (a loan from his personal account to his business account that will then be paid back over time if I had to guess) .

21 Jun 2017 18:54:51
It all sounds exciting doesn't it

21 Jun 2017 21:31:29
Does that £20m include the £5m for Sacko and Pontus?

21 Jun 2017 22:14:09
Or is it smoke and cloaks to throw you off the scent? Best register a sitting with mystic meg ;)

22 Jun 2017 00:16:17
Yes I believe it does but that should be made up like it's been said before through Taylor, players like Erwin, bellusci, silvestri all leaving. I'd also expect to see a big bid for wood in the coming days ladies and gents. He's happy here so serious money would have to turn his head, off knows though may still be banging them in and all of a sudden he's got 15 by January and £20m steals him. let's hope not but that's a huge amount. Similarly he may only get 10 all season, hence the purpose for signing some new talent and getting rid of the likes of antonsson or possibly douk? Pre-season to start Monday with a few arriving late, but it'll be interesting to see who comes and goes

22 Jun 2017 09:11:47
Wow no way I didn't expect Chris wood to attract attention :o but it's ok he's happy here so when a premiership team comes knocking he will say no I'm happy at Leeds lol stop kidding yourself, Chris wood will be wanted by quite a few teams and he will leave if he gets a chance of playing in the premiership whether that's at Southampton or Huddersfield he won't care because right now they are all better than Leeds united.

20 Jun 2017 22:56:54
Swiss media saying we're set to sign Macedonia international Ezgjan Alioski from Swiss super league team FC Lugano. RW/Striker who got 16 goals and 14 assists last season and is being linked with Leicester and Bundesliga teams. Could be another Shaqiri? I say sign him up.

21 Jun 2017 00:06:43
Just came on to post the same thing SG, now that would be a statement of intent, the Swiss Lg is none too shabby.

21 Jun 2017 13:09:11
I can't see him choosing us over Leicester but that's a decent tally for a season. Sounds like he could be a good addition. Fingers crossed

21 Jun 2017 14:23:12
Head the links are strong too, just curious how this would work with sacko and Roofe all playing that role?

21 Jun 2017 16:50:58
Leicester only looking at him as an option if Mahrez leaves Denby, means we could be the only contract on the table if we are quick.

22 Jun 2017 13:11:11
Let's hope so. 2.6 million is peanuts in this day and age. Sounds like a bargain if it happens.
