Depends how much he is/how much he wants wage wise. If he's 5-7 mill on 30k or less then he fills a problem we have had in the holding area backing up Phillips, meaning that Klich, Shackleton, and Dallas can compete for the 8.

Reed is a Fulham player. Joined from Southampton (?) on initial loan then joined for a fee in the 5-6 mill region.
Press rumours saying he'd cost 9 mill now.

Noa Lang rumours back up to speed. Plus, that LB from Huesca. They call him 'Rooney' (lookswise/not pretty).

Who knows though?

The Galan rumours seem to not be true. Saw a journalist (can't remember which) say we were moving for a young LB whose name hadn't been bandied around. Galan 26, so not sure he fulfills the criteria of young. With Perraud, Sosa, and Tagliafico all unlikely, not sure who it will be.

Assume Reed would be signed instead of Nandez.

There's another name I got attached to: Nandez.

He seemed perfect for MB & us. Also seems to be yet
another press generated/click bait rumour that I fell for.

posted on 11/6/21

Well, we were linked with nandez during our first season in the champ under Bielsa. Think he will just be a name like James or Wilson that we will get linked to most windows now.

Did anyone see the journalist who reported that Raph had been left off our squad list, hinting at a move to Liverpool, only for it to turn out he was there but under his full name?

Ha. Brilliant.

On Raph, did anyone else see the rumour Raph to
Liverpool for Harry Wilson and cash. I've always liked
Harry Wilson. But, wow, clutching at straws there.

To be honest one thing I note about all the raph to Liverpool links is none of them seem to mention a price.

All say of um saying Liverpool are definitely after him... but not one of them seem to be able to nail their colours on a price.

Not worry myself. He seems happy and he has a four year deal.

Him and Harrison next year are going to continue to be deadly

posted on 11/6/21

An original offer of 32 million was suggested a couple of weeks ago. Don't think we'd accept that, and think the rumours linking us to Wilson this summer are just press stuff. He's another left footer, so the opposite of what Bielsa seems to want.

Seems that the tweet about Raph has been deleted, with a retraction stating that the site was updated after the tweet was made. He's currently reporting that City want to keep Harrison. After it being pointed out that we have a buy clause he has since said that Harrison has yet to agree to a contract, which was reported happened last year, so...

Suspect he has no clue what he's talking about.

Not convinced with the Reed rumours. If hes not better than what we already have i dont see the point. Koch can play DM for me. Seems made up by the press.

We need quality

posted on 11/6/21

No problem with us looking to strengthen depth in key positions, as that was a large issue we had during last season. Reed does that, and means we can stop relying on defenders playing out of position.

jurno's, you gotta hate them

Reported that Leeds are on the verge of adding two youngsters. Amari Miller for 600k, who is 18 and managed 5 appearances for Birmingham City last season, and James Debayo, a 16 year old from Watford for 100k.

posted on 16/6/21

Debayo appears to be a ball playing CB. Likely play for the U18s this year. Might mean one of the CBs for the U18s (Kris Moore) will be stepping up to the 23s with Casey going.

Miller is a tricky winger, seems quite quick, and does a lot of defensive work. Hard to judge on such limited game time.

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has spoken to BBC Radio Leeds about how the club's transfer window is shaping up, a week after the summer sales opened for business.

"Our transfer window is well underway," he said.

"Our targets have been identified, work with existing players has already taken place and we're in a really good place, Marcelo and Victor are very confident they can each what they want to achieve."

De Paul gone to Athletico Madrid

Buendia to Aston Villa

Perraud dropped down pecking order and likely to end up elsewhere

Reed has been ruled out as an option we are interested in


Club expected to sign a winger, midfielder & left back as well as Harrison. Left Back & Midfielder expected relatively early, Winger may be dependant on sales.

Yesterday rumours emerged we have enquired after Nico Williams of Liverpool. Young RB who went into last season highly rated, but had some torrid performances, and seems to have dropped down Klopp's tier of trust. Been playing for Wales at the Euros. Would cost £10 million, and can play LB. Other PL clubs interested.

I suspect we have just been linked because Liverpool are open to offers and we need a full back. I think it's a lazy link and he's not someone I can see us being interested in.

posted on 22/6/21

I agree. Seems like he can only play LB in the same way Trippier "can play LB". Don't see us wanting a RB.

posted on 22/6/21

I don't see him being the instant improvement we need either at left back. Certainly can be argued he has the potential but that's not what we need. Not as good as Ayling. Too much money for a second choice and we have young fullbacks coming through that may end up better anyway. Especially Drameh.

Wouldn't make any sense any way you look at it

posted on 22/6/21

Reminds me of when we were said to be after Yasser Larouci last summer. Too much money for an untested prospect who would want to start games.

posted on 22/6/21

I'm not convinced we will sign Nandez. Unless the true figure is much lower than that being quoted. Can't see how he is worth circa £30m.

I do think a very intense high pressing midfielder would be a great addition. But from what I have seen he isn't the most exceptional on the ball and with our scouting I feel we should be able to find better value.

Ollie Casey has completed his move to Blackpool, good luck to the lad.

posted on 24/6/21

Nandez deal seems to be edging closer. Being reported heavily in Spain, and his agent has made comments about it, that he wants to sign for Leeds, and that interest from other clubs has waned as a result.

If it happens I expect him to replace Dallas in the midfield with Klich, Rodrigo & Roberts as options next to him.
