    Anyone seen the lazy journo latest bollox transfer news. Apparently Kevin Phillips has stated that Diago Costa will be coming to Leeds on a short term deal. Costa V Bamford. Yes Costa a brilliant striker but not mobile enough for Bielsaball and wouldn't come here just to sit on the bench

    it would also mean Leeds Utd had both Spanish No9s and both were born in Brazil but play for Spain. Its bollox

    He's probably off to Brazil to save his marriage after those dodgy photos emerged.

    Fabianski injured in the warmup for West Ham but they’ve got a quality replacement in Darren Randolph.

    Who do we have? Coco ffs <doh>

    I’d say that’s our priority, a decent keeper to compete with Meslier.

    Italian FA have just released their team of the year and alongside Ronaldo and Zlatan there is Rodrigo De Paul.

    De Paul then thought it would be fun to wind up Leeds fans again by tweeting “New Year New Challenges” to which Leeds fans went into a frenzy asking him if hes coming......

    Here’s another one out of left field and was mentioned in the Summer. He is leaving on a free and is deffo on his bike so where will he go?


    “ Draxler would be a next-level signing but we think that’s what Leeds fans can expect next summer.

    Draxler’s wages are high but not completely out of the ballpark for Leeds. When you take into account the lack of a fee, it starts looking like a realistic proposition.

    A three-year deal would cost Leeds less than £20m in wages and Draxler is worth way more than that if he was sold on the open market.

    Would he want to come to Leeds? Like Hay said, he would surely be looking for Champions League football, but that’s where Leeds are aiming in the next few years.”

    Another that hasn't played much football in recent years though. Do we need another sick note.

    We don't need any player this window, January is a rip off.
    Maybe get rid of a few and rebuild with pure class in the summer.

    I posted this back in the Summer because Orta was trying to buy him but opted for Cuisance. This is seemingly back on again

    If the 19-year-old departs then he could become the most expensive player in Ligue 2 history. The report claims that any willing suitor will have to pay €15m (£13m) in order to prise Kone away.
    Leeds have supposedly been interested in the player for a while and now a move could materialise in the coming month.

    Ronaldo Vieira 2.0
    Kone is an unknown quantity on the biggest stages but the qualities he’s shown in his small career so far are exceptional.
    The teenager has a tall frame and is mightily powerful both on the ball and off it. Detailing Kone’s finest qualities, journalist Marco Conterio said: “Alla Pogba, he is a dribbler with a great physique and long levers, with precision even in the shot on goal. At the moment he is one of the most interesting box-to-box on the international scene.”
    That is a glowing review and you only need to look at the statistics to understand further what sort of player Leeds would be getting.

    In Ligue 1 last term, the youngster won a colossal 2.7tackles per game. On top of that, he managed 1.5 interceptions a match and 0.8 dribbles. Kone is a real nuisance when he strides forward, being fouled 2.2times an outing.

    Of course, these qualities are rather similar to Kalvin Phillips but we want to compare him to a former United man in Ronaldo Vieira. The midfielder is now playing his football in Italy but possessed very similar qualities.

    Not sure how true this is but apparently Leeds Live have posted something on their Facebook page about Riqui Puig again and Leeds fans have swamped the internet to tell Orta to just do it.

    The links to this player have now gone on for months. Gattuso says hes a spectacular player, Koeman doesnt fancy him but the Barcelona fans threaten to lynch Koeman if he sells Puig. No doubt this kid can be massive but....

    Orta dabbled here in the Summer but apparently this time official contact made? Very good record in front of goal and scored 10 so far this season. France U21 star

    Facts:
    Erick Pulgar was on Leeds radar in the Summer
    Pulgar is a fav of Bielsa being young and a regular Chilean International
    Fiorentina wouldnt sell in the Summer
    Fiorentina now need money
    Fiorentina not using Pulgar except from the bench
    Pulgar will be leaving this month?

    meslier the pressure is getting to him no matter how good he is .
    Dias belloli who ?
    Llorente injury prone he was before we bought him always out injured , sell him when he is fit if ever.
    koch also gets injured alot alot to learn in premier league.
    Helder costa fortune when will he show his true potential
    Rodrigo not tall enough for headers from corners but might improve , height is a problem for leeds as we seem to go for short arses.
    cooper ( tommy the panicker ) nick name panic attack , out and we won 2 out of 3 matches , keep him out FFS
    Hernandez slow pace now , but still can be a goal scoring midfielder.
    Apart from that we need new blood in january transfer market .

    Well looks like Mainz have denied any activity for Mateta

    How about Christian Erickson as it seems nobody wants him so will be going well cheap
