The only chance he has of staying is if we cash in on Tino. With Bree performing so well last year in the Championship we simply aren't going to be able to keep three right backs. The reality is we failed last year and many of the players values will be hit as a consequence. I expect a lot of clubs will just wait it out so we better hope we have offloaded enough in the next couple of weeks or we are going to have to accept knockdown prices for some (not a great sign that Liverpool are now saying they have to sell before they can buy with Lavia.)

Thanks for the post. That's a shame but not unexpected. I expect it will be to West ham and we get Downes. Do you know why he wants to go? I'm surprised the club have featured him so heavily in preseason so far (he's been front and centre for most of it.)

You weren't so sure last week.

And then if we don't get satisfactory offers for DCC, bednarek, Stephens and ABK? We can't just keep everyone in an already bloated squad, particularly if we want to bring in another cb as has been reported.

Honestly I think some of the valuations that some fans have are just wrong and they're going to be disappointed. He's I the last year of his contract with well publicised issues and everyone knows he doesn't want to be here. What are we going to do, decline every offer and stick him in the reserves? We have a massive backlog of centre backs that we don't want and we need to shift them. We can't just sit on a shed load of players and refuse any offers below our asking price, at some point we are going to have to shift some and that likely means compromise and letting some go for less than we would like.

Why would he stay if he won't play? He's not getting in the team ahead of Manning and Tino. It's almost certain he will go imo.

I don't think we would have any chance of that amount personally. He would only be backup for a top club and they aren't going to be paying that much. Lower teams won't be able to afford it.

Surely not that seems massively overpriced. 15 million imo.

Pretty sure he says in a Southampton shirt.

KWP would be a great cover signing for a team in Europe. English as well you'd imagine some big clubs will be all over that.

I had a quick gander at a few Swansea forums and interestingly they still reckon we will be signing Latibeudier and Grimes.

Came across quite genuine in that interview I thought. Good stuff.

You would think so. He was one of our better performers last year which isn't saying much but it's not a huge loss.

And this imo is why the owners deserve slack and a measure of understanding. It's not Rupert and Guy.

In the interview Martin said left back.

When Leeds inevitably buy players. Of course we will need to sell and make some money but the point is we have more assets to sell than any other team in the championship. It won't surprise me if we sell 100m+ and keep many of our best players.

"You're coming to a Premier League football club that's in the Championship, so the ambition is promotion and nothing else, and that's exactly what I was looking for as the next move in my career. I think it's the perfect club for me to come to, the ambition is massive and everyone as a collective is working towards getting back to the Premier League. I love quotes like this. Leeds must be sick as parrots...

Brilliant signing well done saints. Fair play getting him done in the face of stiff competition. I'd have been happy with him in the prem I reckon.

Looks like it's imminent!

Yes April 2019 and he joined them in January. So it wasn't just one game.

That's because the vast majority are not of working age.

Those comments were from April and he'd been there since January. I've got no idea what he'd be like but it seems like he did well wheb he did play at this level.

That's a real shame.

Could be bye bye Tella or Sulemana?

Interesting that we are looking for wingers.
