Leeds will look to bring 5 players in during the summer, with strengthening the midfield a priority.

As much as I love Raphinha (and i do) every player has a price (Billy Beane always said know exactly what every player is worth to you with a £/ $ sign) .

If its United I wonder if people would take 60m and Dan James for Raphinha in the summer. It has to be the right deal for Leeds but equally some players get their heads turned, not saying Raph will definitely but it might happen. Bielsa has always been keen on James. Alternatively 80m ish million for Raph independently and then go for Ryan Kent, although if Rangers make Champions League main rounds might be difficult to take him from that.

I'm sure Victor and Marcelo are planning for this. In an ideal world we keep Raph but its always prudent to plan for the worst. Backup keeper a must in the summer for me Tom Heaton has been dislodged by Martinez and if he's healthy would be a nice keeper with Prem knowhow to ably challenge mentor and backup Meslier for me.

a left back is a desirable signing too. Even if i feel Alioski deserves a new deal, if we have ambitions of pushing for something like top half next season feel we need a better option. Dallas obviously is very strong there too (where isn't he useful that lad) .

Despite improvements recently from both I feel Costa and Roberts flatter to deceive at this level. Although let me also say i would love them to prove me wrong in what remains this season. So a striker who can backup Bamford if he gets inj or loses form, and a replacement for Pablo.

Some opportunism too, as if the likes of Newcastle or Brighton are overhauled by Fulham (unlikely) , we should definitely be looking into the likes of Callum Wilson, Saint-Maximin, Alex McAllister and Ben White. Sander Berge or Connor Gallagher I quite like too.


GK, LB, STK, CAM, if raph leaves a replacement for him too.

Chelsea may not loan us Gallagher after the brown/ baker loans, but yes MB was interested in loaning him last summer before WBA got him.
