Bornauw set to leave Leeds and join Hamburg (wants more game time) .

Replacement likely to be Nico Elvedi.

There are two problems.
The first is that whoever comes in will be a squad player, not a starter, unless we have injuries.
I know Bournauw wants game time, but we need a squad that's capable of progressing in the PL even more.
The second is that Hamburg prefer a loan with no obligation.

They value Bournauw at no more than we paid. Based on what he's done in pre-season, they're miles off, and don't have the cash to make a sensible offer.
It's the same with Valencia and Ramz. They want him for half price at most. If they don't cough up, then keep him as an impact squad player.

Just seen one report that Ramz is training on his own. Not sure if there's any substance, as it is only one post.
However, if it is true, then I would be disappointed. Even if the Club wants to move him on, he's still one of ours until he leaves and should be treated with some respect.

The same applies to all the others, such as Joffy.
I don't see the point of caving in to Valencia and letting him go for virtually nothing. We do seem to be a soft touch when selling.

Both good, logical posts there, Dune..
Such a soft touch when selling.

We most definitely are a soft touch, but it's no good having players not happy in and around the dressing room. We've been a soft touch for years.

Ramazani won't be going to Valencia. Corberan doesn't want him.

But the CEO does. Good cop, bad cop. Trying to soften us up.

Wrexham the latest linked with Joffy. Can see that, as they came close last year, and if he repeated his Hull form, he could make a difference. Offer suggested is £4.5m!
Need a firm bid, and then it can get into an auction.

Good move for Joffy. Ambitious owners, close to his old "home" (Wigan/Liverpool) , and a team who will be pushing for promotion. Fee of around 5m is around what I'd probably expect in his last year of his deal. Take it and move on.

They should take Piroe as well, and they will easily be in the promotion battle.
