Will reach a point where an ultimatum is given - see Botman deal. If Leicester don't cave to that then so be it. The calibre of player we're in for I'm confident we'll get the attacking creativity in that we're after.

Maybe the signing of Luis Diaz scuppered it.

Refusing to get invested as it would be such a decent signing. Be a big statement of intent, Leicester are currently seen as being way ahead of us in their 'project' right now. For Maddison to leave that to come to us puts a marker down, be our biggest show of intent yet imo. A year ago we went to Leicester for Choudhury on loan and wouldn't pay the fee. Just bid 40m for Maddison and expected to go back in. Enjoy it!

Would be but if it meant Barnes coming i'd be for it. Plus a purchase of a right winger also.

Highly doubt we are signing Werner and I highly doubt we sign anyone that is linked via a German/French/Italian media outlet. Stinks of agent leaks. This thread could've had less than a page added since Ashworth came in, 'transfer rumours' at an absolute minimum.

The owners got the keys 9 months ago. Since then the squad has been trimmed by the following leaving; Woodman, Hayden, Hendrick, Clark and soon to be Gayle. With the following added; Targett, Burn, Wood, Trippier, Bruno, Pope, Botman. 9 months only and we have 5-6 weeks left of this window still. We're in good hands and heading in the right direction for the first time in 14 years, enjoy it.

Anything behind the paywall?

Salah and Haaland by far the highest owned premium picks - and will be highly captained first 5-6 gameweeks. Betting against the field going without those two.

Versatile as i believe he can play either side as well as central midfield? Maybe why we haven't pursued a centre mid in the market.

Mainz conceded less than Dortmund and Leipzig last season btw, and only 8 more than Bayern. Decent defensive side and we controlled that game - mistake for the goal and lack of sharpness in final third but Howe will be pleased with the pressing and intensity in my opinion.

jonjo wow

Anderson looks decent, chin always up looking ahead of himself. First touch always tidy, I'd be tempted to keep him in the squad and give him some mins this season

Bruno man he's got a family

Joelinton looks even more of a monster than last season

For 22, Botman looks so composed when having to defend or with the ball. We could have a gem on our hands here.

Good intensity with the pressing opening stages.

Hope to see Botman get 45mins+ Probably be two different 11's again though

Into these

Said before i'd be happy to see Jack Harrison here. Decent goals and assists output playing in a fairly poor Leeds team, think he'd do well under Howe.

Is Mike still in charge? Look how much our new owners have done for our club in the short time they've been here already! Lets just sit back and trust them.

This will probably end up as a take it or leave it offer as Botman and Ekitike did. We got one of them in, don't mind the club/Ashworth negotiating like that at all.

Club leaking 'budget' stories whilst not wanting to set the precedent for the next X amount of years in the market for top players by overpaying now. Relax

New spine of Pope, Botman, Bruno and Isak. Last summer we didn't get Willock until 12th August + he was our only addition.
