Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Graeme Bailey says we are moving on from Hanley and are targeting Tom Lees and (cough) Richard Keogh. Also mentions Ayala. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammys_Tekkers Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Was talking to my Step Dad's, Step Dad (Who is a Leeds fan) over Christmas, he said he was gutted they sold Lees. Sounds like a handy player. Just realised how ridiculous that sounds, should have just said my Grandad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Tom Lees is the name of a Chinese kitchen near me according to Google. Smart, good to see he has a backup plan outside of football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begbie Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Is it just me who's getting sick of all this talk about Sissoko and Wijnaldum? I just want it sorted out asap, one way or another. I know it is what it is and it will continue until they leave or the window closes, but still.. Benitez has allready sorted it out, he said that they are not for sale In reality they are all for sale for the right price, the media will keep linking them away and their agents will try to earn some money.

Lush Vlad Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It's been said before, but we need depth and experience. You can't turn your nose up at the club when that's exactly what they are pursuing. If Hanley comes and plays every game at the expense of Mbemba or Lascelles it's because Rafa thinks he can do the job better and fine by me. Problem areas are being addressed. You can't be of the mindset that we shouldn't sign someone to protect the position of someone else. We need competition and the best players should play. I'd love to see Aarons be a big deal this year but I still want another winger who is just as good, if not better. Can't have too many good players. Agree with your post. But is anyone actually saying or implying this, though? I see most saying they like Lascelles, but as is common on here, they trust in Rafa's judgement.

Ankles Bennett Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 As usual the clubs interested in Sissoko and wijnaldum will wait until transfer deadline day thinking we will cave in and accept much lower offers for them. Most will think we will be desparate to get them off the wage bill. Be really great to see us refuse all offers and keep both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Get 50m for them both and give it to Rafa. Last thing we need is this going on until the end of August. If we do get that sort of money I wonder who in the fuck he's going to spend it on. I'm not fully confident that Rafa could convince players worth replacing them to drop a level. They obviously have their issues but would all but guarantee promotion if they were to stay. No way should we use all of the £50m now if they both get sold. Buy a couple of decent players now, a couple of decent players in January and keep the rest for next season. Agreed, we've already bought some cracking signings in as it is, and we could probably walk the championship with the squad we've got right now, even if we left Sissoko and Wijnaldum to rot in the reserves. We have absolutely no need to sell anyone unless we get market value. Rafa is absolutely bossing this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 “We are working hard behind the scenes to bring in more players. “As I have said before we are close to some of them, hopefully we can do it. “We have to be open to offers if somebody is interested. “We don’t want to sell but if somebody comes (with an offer) we have to make sure we do the right things for the club.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Wonder if the different CB talk is just us leaking stuff to try and get Blackburn to accept the Hanley offer. Can't imagine they're rolling in cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
