I've said it before but think it bears repeating. As soon as our premiership status is confirmed for next season we need to start getting our transfer business done early!

In each of the three seasons Farke has been in charge, he's been hamstrung in August whilst new players are bought in - it's then at least another month (or more) before we are able to establish some kind of pattern with a settled line up.



Please get rid of the old/drift wood and get all the new players we need well before the beginning of August!

Agreed, mate. Shipping out players asap is very important, almost as getting quality in.
Perri
Longstaff
Geldhart
Piroe
Aaronson
Harrison
Struick (if he doesn't sign new contract)
Wober
Ramazani (as DF won't play him)
Schmidt
All above, I'd accept good offers for.
£90 million total.

Perri and Longstaff keep, agree on Struijk if no new contract. Agree with rest.

Bournabow is as good as gone if a sensible offer comes in too. He is unhappy with game time.

Nmecha not overly happy on playing minutes either, so if a new strike comes in I expect him to be sold before Piroe, as Piroe is happy to fight for a place.

Even though Farke doesn't think he's premier quality.

World Cup is likely to delay most transfer business this summer.

What Alf said re World Cup likely, so.

And it seems a long time since a Leeds United recruitment team did most/all of its business early doors in the summer window for players?

I do recall in our League Champions winning season 1991/92 we signed all our new recruits

Tony Dorigo,
Rod Wallace,
Steve Hodge,
Ray Wallace,
David Wetherall
and Jon Newsome

early doors in June and early July 1991.



.and that indeed worked out remarkably well!

Citeh 3 Brentford 0.
Title chase is heating up again!

Gooners really need to beat West Ham tomorrow imo?

If a newly promoted Championship team comes in for Longstaff, and considering he's 29 this year, it would be a good time to sell and get something back like we paid for him.
I'm not saying shop him around, but if the right offer comes in, then sell.

I agree most of your list, Corkey, except:
Perri - I think his recent appearances have been improved, and as he's currently our only GK not out of contract this summer, now is not the right time to sell.
Longstaff - I think he's worth keeping unless we get an offer too good to turn down.


Struijk - I'd prefer to keep him if at all possible, and even if he doesn't sign a new contract I'd not let him go for peanuts.
Plus add Bornauw to the list.

Since MC won today, Arse have to go out to win tomorrow, and finally eliminate the spectre of relegation from all our minds.

Re Corkey's list, LAD's, and other responses.
I'd keep Perri, Longstaff, Pascal (if he signs a new contract) , and maybe Aaronson. I'd also like Ramz to be given a chance, as he didn't do much wrong, but maybe he doesn't fit in well with the current system with regard to defending duties, and DF doesn't trust him.


Piroe, Geldhart, Harrison, Wober, Bournauw, and Schmidt can go, and I'd add in Dan James. If we got anything over £30 million for the lot, I'd be surprised.

If we keep Longstaff, tbh, the rest I agree.

Perri is as good as gone.
