JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This one is certainly my gathering pace. Saw someone Lansbury as part of potential deal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I would Tuanzebe or Grealish, so I'm not going to get my arse in my hand because he's a championship player currently. He will end up in the Premier League and we will rue the day we missed out, if we do. He's been brilliant every time I've seen him. I'll be so excited if we sign him. Leeds fan reaction tells you everything you need to know, it mirrors the Hibs/McGinn reaction. Not my money, but it is a lot of money. Only area I wonder about with him is challenging for long balls defensively. Can be very useful for centre halves if DM can pitch in and our central midfield is already diminutive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not play with the same passion and vigour anywhere else This is my main reservation, moreso than the fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest we offer him a trial with a view to a possible loan with a pre-agreed fee should we decide to keep him at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he's good in the air and the stats back it up. 2.6 aerials won per game. Compare to Whelan with 1.2 and it's a massive upgrade.* I mean basically, he has every single tool you want from a modern ball playing DM. *Mings won 3.0 per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he'll play to the same intensity IF we end up buying him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This chat is silly. If he leaves and comes here to play in the Premier League, he will more likely than not give it his all. Leeds fan or not, he's a 23 year old professional footballer. He has a career ahead of him. I mean say what you like about Craig Gardner as an example, I never once felt like he was shirking. And that's a far more extreme example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2019 After reading the views of fans from other clubs, and the fact that we're desperate for a DM, I think we should just pay what it takes to get him in now. Grealish McGinn Phillips Would be very happy with that line-up in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like ours last year, they will want to make a statement by refusing to sell their best player. Also, like Grealish, he isn't keen to move on from his boyhood club. Month old story and Radrizanni not selling majority stake back then. What's changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) The more I think about this, the more I think this isn't like the Grealish situation last summer, despite what I said last night. Spurs didn't need Grealish. When we overpriced him, they were happy to step back. We desperately need a good DM. Leeds will try and bump up the fee, but I don't think it will scare us off. So I see this one going through, even if it's £5-10m more than we'd like. Phillips is a much safer option than a European DM with no English experience, and this is a position we don't really want to gamble on.
