Strong rumours about Manual Benson and Connor Roberts to Leeds tonight. Benson left out of Burnley squad tonight. Hull City want him too.

Hull have no spare domestic loans left, I think

it's interesting if we're in for him, he's a right winger left footed which is useful and really only James in the squad is best in that position all the others are better on the left.. so there's definitely sense in it, he can play 10 also.

Fingers crossed we get something done, we can't go rest of season with the current defensive options in particular, we'd need to be very very lucky with injuries and February is a very busy month for fixtures.

Manual Benson would be an Automatic pick right?

Roberts looking likely.

Harry Shutter from Leicester and Mason Holgate also linked, but by nobody credible

not sure why Robert's was left to the last minute. he was always a good signing and gettable

Because Burnley hadn't signed a replacement. They're close to signing a RB from Belgium now.

Although, Brentford also linked with Roberts now

A lot of this delay has been to do with lack of movement in the premier league. They want prem players who aren't quite getting a regular game, Leeds didn't want to gamble on unknowns from Europe like in years gone by.. it also helps them recruit these players for next year if they work out. However it's a bigger gamble if we end up with nobody so fingers crossed they get a couple in.

Middlesbrough lost one of their best players to Villa today. Be interesting to see if Dewsbury Hall leaves Leicester also... lots of strong rumors going around.

Roberts deal agreed, medical this afternoon.
We're also trying to sign Shuster from Leicester according to the YEP

Good business that.

bernd shuster must be 70 nowadays. and yes I know you meant souter. rather have Worrall from forest

I think he's pretty decent is Souttar, he's 25, so good age, top end championship/bottom half prem level centre back. Leicester paid about £15m for him a year ago.

I thought Godfrey might be a good shout and could still happen.
Aren`t Everton looking at Souter?
And if they get him we would likely get Godfrey.

TBH can't see Souttar deal happening for us, Leicester won't want him strengthening a rival even though they are well ahead of us. I'd be more than happy with Godfrey, he was good the other night against Fulham.
