We"d end up fucking hating Gallagher wvery time we lost

Not convinced gallagher would fetch 50 million though I might be plain off on that - think Gallagher would be a tremendous asset for us, box-to-box with real defensive capability and energy seems right up Eddie's alley

 

Edit to add I don't think Chelsea will be looking to move him

 

 

 

Gallagher of course is a great player. But for that amount and our FFP problems, our needs elsewhere are bigger

[Whitley mag]

Would rather we went for the lad O’Riley from Celtic than Gallagher, think he could be one of these that could make the transition from SPL.

One to consider if Bruno goes.

[r0cafella]

Gallagher would be such a poor use of resources. 
 

If Bruno leaves we are left with trips as the only creator/ string puller who’s knocking on.

 

If Bruno leaves we will need to rethink our entire system.

Not sure if posted..

Newcastle are among the top suitors in the hunt and Magpies recruitment chief Steve Nickson has even travelled to Italy in recent months to watch the all-action Brazilian in the flesh. Ederson is likely viewed as a possible replacement for compatriot Bruno Guimaraes, who has a £100m release clause that expires on June 30.

Interestingly, departing sporting director Dan Ashworth was key to Newcastle's initial interest and amid Eddie Howe's fears is that Ashworth could capitalise on transfer intel in his new role at Manchester United - once the ongoing ugly legal dispute is finally resolved.

 

[Sibierski]

Based on a couple of Europa games I saw, I’d want us to get Ederson anyway. Be ruthless getting Willock moved on, and bring in him. 

 

Feels him/Bruno/Jo/Tonali would be a formidable 4 for rotational quality and what we need as a squad. 

[kenlau88210]

Not sure if we could convince him to ditch champions league football for us

[Slim]

What's the crack with Leeds now? Need sell load players?

 

Anyone worth going for.

[Rafalove]

Archie gray seems like a top prospect.

He certainly does although I doubt we'll be in for him.

Are Leeds in bother now financially?

[Dokko]

(Apparently) Leeds need to sell £76m of players this summer, with them owing £190m to other clubs in total. 

 

For a championship club, that's a noose.

They had a mid-table budget last season in the Premier League and allowed a newly-promoted League 1 club to pip them. Only themselves to blame for massively underperforming.

They're the first club to get 90+ points and not get promoted. Shows how brilliant Ipswich and McKenna did

[Ash]

Archie Gray would be a no-brainer and certainly ticks the opportunistic box for us.

[joeyt]

I really like Rutter at Leeds but not surprised he'd fit our system

We've been linked consistently with him since I think last summer, so wouldn't be too surprised to see it happen.

Woke up feeling really excited about this transfer window. Whilst lots of disappointment last season, none of which is worth rehashing, I do think a potential positive outcome is the glaring necessity to stretch the PSR limits, move out the nonessential, unreliable, or past peak players, and give ourselves a chance of building on the improvements made in the last 2.5 seasons. 
I hope we do get some business done early, including outgoings and perhaps save an unexpected big signing until the 11th hour.

We have done that since they bought us

Other than free transfers, I wouldn’t expect any early business tbh. The whole PSR deadline and the euros will make most clubs do business later imo.

While we're hoovering up PL free defenders, Ben Johnson from West Ham maybe? Good age, can play both full-back positions, would allow us to make some cash on Trippier for FFP reason and provide cover for Tino and Hall.

He feels like one of those destined for the Championship or someone like Everton. Alot of years at West Ham and has never held his spot down for a prolonged period of time. Still only 24 but I think there's better out there even for free.

[Guest]

If it wasn't for FFP I wouldn't even be considering it. Just probably going to be the last chance to make anything on Trippier and would be some sort of cover aside from Krafth.
