2 years left. If prem don’t come calling we’re in a good position for him. I reckon £15/16m gets it done. Sunderland can’t turn that down. We surely can afford that plus get the other 3 in. YEP confirmed we’re seriously looking at him.

I'm not sure. Unless they get 20m+, he stays and they try to get top 6. Unless Sunderland are struggling with PSR

We could do a lot worse than Jack Clarke. I’d prefer a genuine left footed winger playing wide left but inverted wingers seem all the rage nowadays. He’d be an asset from set pieces as well. The amount of set pieces we have failed to score from over the last couple of years has been criminal. I can’t believe a pro team at this level doesn’t have a single player that can deliver a high quality dead ball consistently.

I`m sure I saw a stat that said we were one of the worse in the League for scoring at set plays and it shows.
Free kicks are a joke and we might as well not bother sending anyone up for corners although we have looked better this season without yet scoring.

Yeah, i think we're in with a reasonable shout to get him. But will come down to how stubborn Sunderland will be on fee. I'm not sure they can turn down £15m for him.. Leeds should stick £5 or 6m add ons depending on promotion.

I've seen it from some usually very credible sources. However, 10 days to go and counting to get 4 good quality players in minimum. Chances are same squad again Friday. Should be good enough to get a result, however, If nothing in before Friday, next week could go horribly wrong for Leeds. I just don't get the strategy of deliberately leaving it so late in the window which they plainly are.. we're playing catch up again.

Farke needs a big week with the boys in training. Need that swagger back. Aaronson starts at 10 imo. We've seen enough of Piroe there. At least Aaronson mobile and presses well, can also progress the ball better. If we lose and no signngs made this week, it could get nasty.

Rowe going to Marseille. Romano and John Percy reporting. £13m by looks of it.
