We hold all the cards with gnonto. He has 4 years left, no relegation clause, he’s young, full Italy international and proven to do well in the premier league. We can demand a sizeable fee. Unless he wants out though we are under no pressure to sell and imo we need to keep at all costs. If we don’t go up this season then we will have to sell I would imagine

Ryan Manning has signed for Southampton. He’s one of the left backs we had interest in. On a free too! I wonder if we’re going for Charlie Taylor now.. both were very good in championship last year

Rasmus going to Roma on loan.

it's about time players started to come in. it's getting ridiculous

Yep. It looked for all the money in the world Manning was the sensible choice and would be the first in. As I've said before, all these delays will cost us players, both out and in. Radrizanni's dithering has damaged our chances of a quick return imo (i'm not saying we won't do it but it's made it a damn sight harder than it should have been). The new players also need time to bed in ! season starts 3 weeks on Sunday !!

Apparently Burnley are sniffing around Hamer now too from a credible source... he could be another one we will miss out on. Southampton new manager is also ex Swansea where Piroe plays....... we need to get a move on big time! As i understand it, we can sign players whilst we wait for the EFL green light.

Rodrigo to Qatar. Done deal.

yeah. had a text off someone earlier saying that.

Good move for him, with a big pay day, but really sad to see him go. Fought like hell for Leeds. Top fella. Goodness me we have some recruitment to do...

yes. he certainly gave everything. unlike some....

I`m pleased Rodrigo has gone to Qatar as would hate to see him bang in a few goals against us.
Shame about Manning although inevitable he was going to go to Southampton to team up with Martin.
We were told 6 signings were already in the bag and as we don`t need to wait for EFL approval it beggars the question why if we have signed 6 we haven`t announced it yet.
Desperately need those signings in this week for sure.

Not half. So far we've lost,

Rodrigo
Rasmus
Llorente
Koch
Aaronson
Roca

only got about £5m in fees. big reduction in wage bill however.

Then these are expected to leave according to Phil Hay

Messlier
Summerville
Harrison - though we would like to keep if at all possible.

Adams is wanted by Villa and will take some keeping....

quite the turnover of players....

Anyone else watch the game today against MU?

not me. working. building a new prison. interesting.
I digress. is it right ayling looked as bad as last year? difficult with a game this early. some good signs from what I've read but we need some quality in

No but heard we did well first half. Sinesterra very good and Drameh good. Can’t judge anyone’s performance though really.

Farke sounds a touch concerned about the season start and the clauses in place meaning players have been going out on loan (what the hell has Ortra done!!) He’s asking for time a patience from the fans. He knows we face a huge challenge to get a good squad together. I like his honesty though. Apparently he’s working the player very very hard in training

Saw it from about 65 mins so cant really judge fully as apparently we were half decent first half.
Didnt look that good what I saw but again, very early days and cant really base anything off this.

That being said, Ayling again was AWOL on his man marking.
