We have Bamford, Piroe, Joseph, and Geldhert for the 9 position. None of them are perfect, but we'll only sign a 9 if Piroe or Bamford leave. Which given their wages isn't likely to happen. I'd rather they give Joseph a chance anyway.

I think we'll only see 1 or 2 back up defenders, and a CM brought in, unless other players leave, which is likely.

Trouble is if Farke is wanting to play same system as last year, neither Prioe or Geldhart can play the 9 role well. Prioe hasn't got the legs and Geldhart can't hold the ball up well enough. Bamford can at this level but is injured a lot.. Joseph looks a talent but is untested - he looks good but it's a gamble imo. I'd love Joseph to do well but we can't afford to be relying on Bamford again.

I don't necessarily disagree about Piroe or Bamford, I just don't think we'll sign a new striker unless one of them leaves. Bamford is on a big wage and they paid 10m for Piroe less than a year ago, so Farke must think he can play there. He has slimmed down a lot, so hopefully that will improve his mobility.

Lots of credible rumours regarding Gnonto to Everton, Summerville to West Ham, and Szmodics to Leeds, although Ipswich are the front runners for him.
Leeds proving difficult to deal with though, they're demanding top dollar for Summerville and Gnonto. Which is good to hear.

It is good to hear JB.
As long as they don`t disrupt the dressing room by throwing their toys out of the pram which from those 2 could happen.
Szmodics I thought would be a good signing but I read an article about him which basically says he could be another Piroe that struggles with the way Farke wants us to play.
Like I`ve said (a million times I know) Moore would have been good and maybe McBurnie who could play the Bamford role.
Both Joffy and Piroe weren`t particularly good against Harrogate.

West Ham have put a formal bid in for Summerville today Romano says. don't know how much it is. Lets see how the player reacts. He's been top class so far. I am certain Leeds will reject it. they will have made a cheeky bid to test the water. Leeds need to make a very quick decision on whether to sell him early in the window - push for a big fee, if they can't achieve that then he has to stay. We can't be going into the season or late in the window trying to replace his quality. he will be immensely difficult to replace

West Ham have been told we want at least 40m, apparently. They've walked away according West Ham ITKs on twitter.

Good good.

Onana confirmed by Villa. That probably means Everton will come knocking for Gnonto

yep. and the yellow away shirt is the dogs whatsits. a thing of beauty https://www.thekitman.co.uk/leeds-unite ... rt-leaked/

That will be the best selling kit we've ever had

I think so too

40 million if we get it is very good business.
I thought 35 and we would sell.
At least teams know we won`t or don`t have to accept silly offers.

And no red to be seen.
Yellow does nothing for me at my age

According to a usually good source (Alex Crook), Leeds have firmed up their interest in Szmodics..
