Maybe we move on now. We definitely need at least one capable defensive mid and soon. It means nothing imo. He’s currently contracted to them, so he plays for them. The only reason he wouldn’t would be is if had agreed a fee, at the least I think. To be honest though, I don’t think this one will happen. Just too much money being quoted, and no shifting by either side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes I'm inclined to think he really doesn't want to leave enough right now. And that's fair enough. May be totally wrong but thats what it feels like at present. I think our new midfielder will come from elsewhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Why do people thing him playing signals its over. That's ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It's not based on that, but just a hunch based on the assorted whispers. Wisdom of the crowds etc. There's BS everywhere but there seems to be decent noise about him not wanting to leave, etc. Hopefully I'm totally wrong mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 So, on the basis there is 65 pages of this thread and the press have been saying we are interested for weeks, I will take a punt and say that there is no way that this is happening. Pretty much all of our signings have been sudden with no prior press knowledge. This just doesn't feel like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Will be brought off on the hour, applauding all sides of the ground in a tearful goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If we are interested we'd want him to be fit, so I'm glad he's playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 For the record, I meant to say move on for now, not move on completely. I dont for one moment think we should or will walk away completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 When Milner left us for Man City the deal had already been done when he played his last game for us. I can’t remember who we played, but it was a league game and he was MOTM. Playing in a preseason friendly doesn’t mean a lot either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton full debut and looked incredible. Future looked bright, even if Milner was destined to leave. Incredible to think about the sequence of events that followed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Philips playing centre half. Games on YouTube for anyone sad enough to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkVillan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 5 hours ago, useless said: I doubt Wolves will be in for him, most of their signings are either Mendes agents, or play for one of the clubs that Mendes has big connections to. Besides, Phillips plays exactly the same position as Neves, so would be a strange move. I have seen a piece about AC Milan interested in Neves, possible cash plus player deal https://forzaitalianfootball.com/2019/07/ac-milan-propose-player-exchange-with-wolves/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I think the interest is there but I’m not convinced it’s as strong as we think it is. I doubt he wants to leave either which is fair enough. Can’t see this one happening this window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Wouldn't surprise me if he stays at Leeds, ends up being average next season, and this thread gets looked back on in disbelief at how you were all so beguiled by the idea of paying £20m plus for someone who's had one decent season - in the Championship.
