I think Hull winning the playoffs is a great scenario for Leeds

We extract 10-15m for Gelhardt as Hull look for continuity.
We convince Middlesbrough that their final missing piece is one Joel Piroe. Either ask for 8m +2m with promotion, or use Piroe as a makeweight for Hayden Hackney if we really fancy
him.

Commiserations to Ayling and congratulations to Lewie Coyle and the aforementioned Gelhardt.
I don't expect Hull to be competitive next season, sadly but what a day for them.

I think the money you tout for Joffy is way above his current value, and Hull won't be spending that some on him, if anything at all.
Agree, tho, re JP / Hackney possibilities.
Will just have to sit and wait to see what happens once tomorrow is done and dusted.

Interesting suggestions, but.

1) As Canada alluded to, Joffy seems to now be less in favour at Hull in EFL. A sub often. would they even want to sign him in EPL, certainly not at the fees you suggested.

2) Re Piroe, I have seen several articles stating that Piroe would not agree to move to a Champo club.

Hopefully, though, we can find a club for him in Holland or elsewhere.

He only has one year left on his contract before he is a free.

Hull winning promotion will be a pain in the ass for us. Our games against them, home and away, will 100% be their cup final games of the season, even if they will be destined to return to the Championship.

Relax, OP.
Leeds United have a good record vs Hull..
Since 2016.
Won 8, Draw 4, Lost 2.

Joffy scored 15 goals this season, but with a year left on his contract, he is probably worth £2/3m, but Hull might double that for a player they know who has some PL experience and can be a decent squad player. tbh, most of the players we want to offload don't have much value - Wober, Schmidt, Joffy, Harrison. We'll probably take a loss, or at best break even, on some others if we decide to let them go - Perri, James, Bournauw, Ramzanni, Piroe and Gruev.

We'll make a profit on Willie G. We've seen how stretched we are at the end of the season, so if we offload six of the current first-team group, plus add four or five new expensive signings who significantly improve the squad (striker, AM, CB, WB X2) , where's the money coming from and do we have enough cover?

Agree, Dunelm, it's all well and good shipping out loads of players, but they have to be replaced one way or another, otherwise we will end up with a lightweight squad - only takes a few injuries and the cupboard will start to look pretty empty!

Don't think we'll get £10-15M from Hull for Joffy. More like £5-8M. Wouldn't mind getting Hayden Hackney, but would prefer Harvey Elliott. Congrats also to another Leeds old boy, Cody Drameh. Good for the travelling fans, it's only about one hour to Hull, versus one and a half to Middlesbrough, or four hours plus to Southampton.

Well, I've been giving my fishing m8s the banter over @ the coast & Hull!
Congratulated them for going up, but said it will be a welcome 6 points for us. ???
Regarding Joffy, don't think they will pay anything above 10.
BBC gossip today, we're looking @ Southampton midfielder Shea Charles!
Hope we finish with a win today.. Up The Whites, Down The Pints. ???

Give me Elliott over Hackney all day long.
Liverpool said to want £25m for him, boro will want £20+ for Hackney, who's got no prem experience.

We are still at the stage where we need players proven in the top leagues, not gambling on Championship potential.

Totally with dunelm and cleggy on this one. Who leaves this summer will largely depend on what we bring in. A lot of those touted to leave will likely still be with us next seez, unless we have a load of freebies lined up. A few key injuries would leave us skeletal otherwise.

Middlesbrough would be the same OP. As Baz says, we have a good recent record against Hull.
