Rads spotted at Inter Milan, it's stated he doesn't get involved in transfer negotiations.
Big question is why?
Is he about to cash in his chips at Leeds and move to Inter?
1.) 29 Jan 2021 00:26:57
He was at a meeting to talk about lost football revenue and how it could be resolved.
2.) 29 Jan 2021 09:06:44
Yes I saw that cover story and it well could be right, although it seems a long way to go for something that could be discussed over the phone or zoom.
One thing that is for sure is the reason he was there needed to be discussed in person. For me that tells a different story, as every team in the world is suffering a loss of revenue.
3.) 29 Jan 2021 15:00:15
Rads spends his time spilt between Leeds and Italy is my understanding 1970. Might have gone in because he was out that way anyway this week. He's big on networking too so turning up in person is a bigger statement (plus if I had a private jet I'd fly on it all the time too) .
4.) 30 Jan 2021 07:33:51
Essential travel.
22 Sep 2020 21:06:16
Looking like Mario and Llorente could be deals.
Maybe one more to come after that?
1.) 22 Sep 2020 21:50:30
With 2 players possibly joining in quick succession, could be a case of Super Mario bros 😂🚗.
02 Sep 2020 14:57:46
Looks like De Paul deal is taking a while to get sorted, not good.
1.) 02 Sep 2020 16:39:12
Media reports that he prefers a move to Juventus.
2.) 02 Sep 2020 16:48:45
There are no real indications anything is wrong in the press, apparently a 35million Euro deal has been agreed and terms have already been agreed with De Paul himself so sounds like we could see something happen before the end of the week.
3.) 02 Sep 2020 18:17:40
Wouldn't we all George but other media indicating Juve aren't interested.
4.) 03 Sep 2020 15:16:02
Seen reports that he has agreed terms with Leeds and another he is holding out for juventus to come in and bid for him. If we are second choice then rather we look elsewhere, guy doesn't think we are worthy. Still think we need a decent back up keeper and another centre half. Would rather take Wilson from Liverpool for £20 million than spend £30+ on De Paul!
5.) 03 Sep 2020 19:34:57
Left out of unidese friendly tonight things may still work out for us you never know I hope he does sign MOT.
6.) 04 Sep 2020 06:50:57
Football doesn't work that way any more though Mezzer. He is Italian, Juve are their top club and currently dwarf us in terms of finances, trophy winning potential and Champs league football. Lad would be daft not to fancy a move to them but that doesn't mean it will happen or that he won't give his all if the 'dream' move doesn't materialise.
7.) 04 Sep 2020 06:56:50
Sorry meant he is in Italian football - De Paul is of course Argentinian.
29 Nov 2019 13:36:56
All the talk of Vydra deal already having been done, does that give the impression he might be training, if not with the squad, but to Balsa's guidance, fitness levels etc, so as to hit the ground running in January. get him up to speed in November and December
He scored 22 goals for rams in this league so knows what its about, he has also been well rested.
Is he coming as part of the final payment due on the Woods deal?
There appears to be yardage in this rumour.
1.) 29 Nov 2019 17:46:04
Bit of wishfull thinking in there 70 but I do wish it was true. Get him and play him straight away.
2.) 01 Dec 2019 00:32:20
In a word, no.
3.) 04 Dec 2019 10:28:17
Apparently he’s not even on our list.
4.) 04 Dec 2019 13:46:36
Phil Hay quoted he definitely won't be coming!
5.) 07 Dec 2019 16:55:05
I wouldn't want him, don't think he is a premier league striker. Would rather we trusted Nketiah and Edmondson than spend heavily on Vydra, unless someone truly proven in the prem or much younger wit more potential than Vydra. His attitude when we tried to sign him initially doesn't endear him to me either.
6.) 08 Dec 2019 19:40:32
Much of the talk now is for Cenk Tosun and/ or Brewster.
06 Nov 2019 13:21:38
On the possible sale of the club to QSI, bearing in mind to take most of these stories with a pinch of salt. Saying that the story is not going away and at the end of the most recent article from L@Equipe the most telling line for me was.
"L'Equipe reached out to Radrizzani for an update, but they were told the Italian would not be able to comment on the ongoing discussions. "
If this is the case and while a sale might never happen, stating that Radrizzani would not be able to comment makes me think negotiations are currently taking place and he is bound by a confidentiality agreement, which is normal in these circumstances.
1.) 08 Nov 2019 13:33:40
Or he is just busy doing other things and a Journo wants to make a story out of nothing.

I wonder did Rodon's initial problem/injury start as a result of the effort he put in to get back and take the ball off Woods in the Forest game?
It was a last ditch tackle and he took a little knock at the time?
23 Aug 2026 10:57:14
Priority incomings.
A striker and a no.10.
Back up.
A keeper, midfielder and left sided defender who can play
CB as well.
If we can get the priorities in this window it would be great.
With the back players over this and January window.
1.) 23 Aug 2026 13:49:02
Six? I'd be gobsmacked with 3.
2.) 23 Aug 2026 14:03:12
Aus,
5 with two attacking priorities and 3 back up players to come in over this and the January window.
27 Jul 2026 11:04:05
With all the rumours on different players signing.
Who does everyone think we will get and what position wiould we then need to fill after that?
For me
Trafford and Brandt look like they could happen.
Then a Striker and a No. 10.
Plus back up Center Half and L Back.
After that if we can pick up any loans or freebies to improve the squad it would be a bonus.
1.) 27 Jul 2026 11:51:47
As far as I know, Brandt is a No10, and Wilson can operate there too, so don't think we need another.
2.) 27 Jul 2026 12:11:43
Personally, I don't see Brandt happening.
The offer has been on the table for a while now. I just feel like he's holding out for a bigger move in his opinion.
3.) 27 Jul 2026 12:30:11
I think the window pivots one of two ways.
1. Trafford.
Brandt.
Charles (I have read he likes our offer and that the fee wasn't insulting. If he asks to move, or Southampton get desperate, it could be back on) .
Backup keeper.
Free agent or cheap lb (Cirkin or Ben Davies maybe) .
2.
Trafford.
Brandt.
Backup keeper.
20m + striker to use the Charles funds elsewhere.
Cheap or free agent lb (same suggestions) .
I feel enthused about getting 15m odd for Ramazani and Gelhardt combined out the door if they managed to terminate Wober and get Harrison out, with all the wages gone. Well done there 49ers.
If they also get a decent loan fee for Perri, or a slightly lower base fee with achievable permanent sale escalators, then good.
Gruev and Aaronson either need to be offered and sign new deals, or be sold. Would be happy for Aaronson to stay on the same terms, and Gruev probably deserves a small raise (he's not on a lot apparently) .
Gruev does a job and, apparently, is a legend in the community and dressing room. Farke likes him. I think these sorts of players are only fully appreciated when they're gone. Not that he isn't now, just even more so. Think Alioski, how much we missed him.
4.) 27 Jul 2026 13:01:19
Gruev is on more or less the same as Cairns, believe it or not, at under 800k/year.
I'd like him to sign a new contract.
Brandt would be a good free signing, but can anyone really see DCL finishing off his lovely through balls?
We definitely need a top striker.
5.) 27 Jul 2026 13:29:06
Yep Corkey. Need a striker. We got lucky last season with DCL reasonably injury free. Doubt it will happen again. Got my doubts on both Brandt and Shae. But happy to be proved wrong.
Musts.
2 goalkeepers
1 striker.
1 attacking midfielder.
Rid of as many of Gelhardt, Piroe, Arrenson, Ao.
Keep Large and Gruev.
6.) 27 Jul 2026 15:12:04
DCL done well last season, but let's not forget he scored 9 non-penalty league goals. He needs competition at the very least, and preferably an upgrade would be the way to go.
7.) 28 Jul 2026 00:12:52
100% Corkey.
24 Jul 2026 08:17:16
Would anyone be able to give any info on the new younger squad players taken to the US.
Age, position and potential.
1.) 24 Jul 2026 08:49:59
The Three I believe could possibly bridge the gap to the senior side 70, just my opinion, you understand.
Lineou - LB: took him from Citeh, finished the season very strongly. If he maintained the same level of development, I could see him added to the squad, especially if they wished to direct funds elsewhere. He's an excellent and exciting prospect, though more a Jed Spence type of defender, quick and skilful.
Alfie Cresswell - CM/DM. I believe he is the best youth prospect currently, captain and plays like his elder brother (Baz's love child) .
Very strong in the tackle, good in the air and scores the odd goal. Not creativity though in the Amps, Gruev mould.
Rory Malhaddy - GK: pinched from Celtic, highly rated particularly in Scotland, but their bar for national keepers is lower than ours. He has developed well and, again, has the potential to be a squad keeper. Whether he's a first choice, it's too early to say at this stage.
Don't see any world beaters or that creative number 10 we crave, and you'll appreciate bridging the gap to an EPL team is a stratospheric leap from a Championship side.
2.) 24 Jul 2026 09:01:44
The game against Wrexham is live on Premier Sports.
3.) 24 Jul 2026 09:06:07
Thank you. If those 3 can make the jump, we probably only need to spend out on another 4/5 players.
G K Trafford ?
C Half
Brandt
Number 10 and
Striker.
4.) 24 Jul 2026 11:51:04
Watch out for Coban Bird, 19-year-old LB.
I saw him play a couple of years back, and he was unbelievable.
5.) 24 Jul 2026 12:18:39
Whilst other positions would be a bonus, I think we need to concentrate on 3 positions:
GK - Trafford?
AM/10 - Brandt?
Striker - ???
Add a backup GK and LWB, and we're nearly good to go.
18 Jul 2026 10:02:43
Still think we need
2 Keepers don't think we will spend big on Trafford.
Left back.
1 or 2 X C halfs.
Mid fielder possibly Brandt. Don't think we will spend big on Charles?
Another winger.
And an upgrade on Piroe.
The money should be spent on the Keeper, winger and striker.
With the other positions being more squad players.
1.) 18 Jul 2026 10:51:29
Think we need striker and keeper, big money.
Anymore can be fillers.
2.) 18 Jul 2026 13:37:04
I'm not so sure we will sign another CB, we have Seb & there's Wober returning. (Wober should never play, but as a back up to the back up) .
Left back cover is needed.
Charles alternative.
Winger.
10.
9.
2 x goalkeepers.
Still needed imo.
3.) 18 Jul 2026 13:48:55
4 or 5 further key position signings a must for me.
1) With the very regrettable departure of Darlow..
Underwood and Co simply must get the goalkeeper recruitment spot on this time.
2) A quality striker is also a must.. No excuses for not doing so after failing to do so in January.
3) A left-footed LB cover essential.
4) And a goalscoring attacking midfielder.
4.) 18 Jul 2026 17:20:42
Not sure about him, some on here don't rate him. Let's hope it's sorted quickly.
29 Jan 2021 09:06:44

Hear he's mustard!
27 Feb 2020 12:26:20
Opposition dirty tricks, trying to unsettle could be one take!
07 Nov 2019 13:13:44
Chris have you a decent source for this, rather than just journos rehashing headlines from other sites.
30 Jun 2019 11:49:25
Think JC's advisers were trying to play one off against the other to get as much out of any deal as possible. Don't know if Clarke actually wanted to go, so they had to start a blame game to sell the move to JC, running Leeds down to sell the idea of the move to a reluctant JC might be one way of looking at it. Who knows? One thing that must be remembered is no one is bigger than the Club.
12 Sep 2026 17:06:36
Don't think any success will come by changing manager.
All the great teams, who have not totally bought success, did it with stability and building year on year.
Look at Arsenal under Wenger and then Arteta.
We need to keep building and investing.
Top half and challenging for Europe is the number one goal atm.
12 Sep 2026 14:53:20
If we can achieve mid table this season, I think DF would want commitment on squad strengthening.
We have done well last season, and improved the quality of the squad again this summer.
We are only going to tread water, or go backwards, if we don't keep bringing in the players required to bring us up to a top half side challenging for Europe.
29 Aug 2026 22:36:51
With Zetterer signed, I'd take two as a minimum.
A defender and a striker.
Would be over the moon if we added a winger to that as well.
23 Aug 2026 14:03:12
