ITK on WACCOE saying Brandt or Trafford next and also added that reading between the lines it sounds like Charles is a done deal.

Allegedly, MC want £40M for Trafford, tho Transfermarkt only value him at £25M. How much are we willing to pay, and, likewise, how much are Newcastle willing to pay? Having a Plan B would be advisable.

As long as we leave 20 for defender and 50 for striker. Get Brandt and Shae. Wouldn't worry re goalie if Darlow signs.

I think it would be a loan if we did get him for the season.

His Man City contract is til 2030, so likely they're in no hurry to sell, thinking they'd be able to grab him back when Donnarumma gets too old - hence the extravagant price, so it may have to be just a loan, but that would at least have less impact on our SCR spending limit.

I must admit, I didn't think Leeds would be in the market for a new keeper once Darlow agreed his new deal, but these Trafford-to-us on-loan rumours seem to be growing, and it made me wonder if Perri going to sit on the Man City bench on loan in a sort of swap gk loan arrangement might be in the pipeline.



Also, strong rumours of Xhaka leaving Sunderland and going to Chelsea should help weaken our North East rivals, and without him I can see Leeds finishing comfortably above them.
