Can’t see Leeds wanting to sell either. They don’t want to sell. Definitely not for 20 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Augustinsson going leaves I think 19 senior outfield players, with Carlos out injured for another while and Nakamba and Chambers seemingly being encouraged to find new clubs. Not up in arms at all about signings (of lack thereof) nor do I have any issue with any of the departures, but it does seem weird to go into the remainder of the season that short on numbers. Especially in certain areas of the pitch. Would be surprised if an attacking player at least doesn't come in before the end of the window in some capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of our fans don’t rate Bailey and Buendia either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Can’t help but think it’s a lazy link for Jack Harrison. I’d imagine Leeds would not want to be selling him in January, and most definitely not to a relegation rival in Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds light but it’s only around a game a week until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be begging for them to come back after they're changed for Jack Harrison. Anyway, doesn't matter, this one's clearly nonsense IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Just watching Bristol City v West Brom. Alex Scott looks a cut above. He reminds me a little of a young Grealish the way he keeps the ball close and has really good balance. He’s going to be some player.

I get that but at the same time 5 subs makes it more of a squad game than ever, and added to that Emery really makes use of them too. I'd be surprised if for the remainder of the season a 19 year old kid signed from the MLS was the only out and out forward option off the bench (all going well with injuries etc).

Looks like he’s got some decent attributes and a position we could use. Not at the money they're after. He was supposed to be the next great Italian but injuries have sapped him of a lot of what made him so enticing. Personally, I don't see him ever becoming more than an above average player on a solid team. If he hadn't been such a hyped prospect before, the price wouldn't be anywhere near what it is.

It’s a big gamble for a club to be spending £25m on him when they can get someone similar abroad for half the price. V good prospect though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get him for a structure of something like £18m with £7-8m in performance add-ons. He's a serious talent. Can see City getting him for cheap soon though as he would force through a move if they came knocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I haven’t seen Scott but I watching Madison today and thinking how you can find top players in the championship. Obviously you get some that struggle with the step up. I do think they need to really stand out in the championship though to take the risk and pay big money.

flashingqwerty Posted January 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2023 Starting to think we might be done. Not a question of cash or desire, just not able to get the quality we wanted and we will go again in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this might be right but not totally sure. Steer, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Chambers, Hayden, Revan, A. Young, Ramsey, Watkins and K. Young. If they’re all official squad members that’s 11 names. Apparently 8 is the minimum required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand right we need 8 homegrown. I count: Watkins, Konsa, Mings, Cash, Chambers, Ramsey, Young. I’m not sure whether Martinez counts because he was an Arsenal academy player and I’m not sure about Scottish players so I won’t count McGinn. I think Duran and the youth keepers are too young to be counted against us. Basically I’ve had this in the back of my mind with all of our links to foreign players. I don’t think we’ll be getting rid of Cash or Chambers any time soon and could explain links to Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well done, forgot Steer and K Young. Didn’t think Revan and Hayden were squad players though. It would certainly help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not totally sure they are, but they’re listed on the premier league website under squad information so I assume that’s correct? Taking the kids out, Steer and Chambers maybe not sticking around, question marks over Cash…we’re closer to the limit than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
