And we get to chuck in McCormack? That's an incredible deal assuming we bring Tuanzebe in. Would you agree DDID that based on recent form we could perhaps claw closer to say £9/10m for the pair?

I agree with you on Elphick leaving but if we can free up wages and raise a bit of cash I would sooner do this as we have adequate cover in this area. I think elphick £2m top whack and McCormack £2.5m is probably the best we would get - I wouldn’t sell elphick in any case at this stage . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only sell Elphick if we have a replacement in though - this would make the Axel deal make more sense as he can cover CB and DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true then of course the money is very good but I cannot see why Leeds would offer so much . would give us some cash to sign someone in the next week .

Villan4Life Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 West Brom are trying to tie down Tyler Roberts to a new contract as he is out of contract in summer and so far he hasn't signed. He has looked good on loan at Walsall and is one of the Baggies better talents Leeds have bid £4mil for him which been rejected with Marseille and Sevco (Rangers) after him. Would be worth monitoring that situation for the summer and see if we can get him on a bosman (with compensation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did pretty well on loan at Fulham but is a very average player.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think Leeds are about as much a rival as Preston. They're another of those teams like Brentford who the press love to ejaculate over but in reality have too soft an underbelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably untrue, if the two club rule includes playing in the A League, and stops them signing McCormack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2018 McCormack hasn’t played for us in the league this season, don’t suppose that would get us around the three club rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
