We paid £500k for him and its suggested that we received a 6 figure price for him. That could mean a £400k loss or a profit I guess. It does however seem that young Aapo has forced this move because he expected to be in the first team now
He's had his fair share of injuries and imo Sturijk looked the better of the 2 in the latter stages last season. Perhaps he's dropped down in the pecking order especially with the arrival of White, wanted first team football and was unlikely he was going to get it.
Looks like Denton going out on loan again, not sure why as now surplus, but Crewe are favs for him to go. Elfsborg want to keep Cibicki so a deal needs sorting as it doesnt look like he's coming back Looks like nessy is going back out on loan but not sure where yet. Ekuban deal sorted for him to stay in Turkey for double what we paid for him. Sacko also going to Turkey with a cancelled contract Anita also going to the Leeds Utd graveyard known as Turkey on a cancelled contract Wilks is now fav to move to Barnsley who have offered over £1m Ideguchi being sold back to Osaka LDB looking for a move and will be loaned out again if nobody buys him. Bouy told he can go but needs a club. Saiz given 11 days to sort his future club out or he returns and trains by himself Coyle and O'Kane no news yet
So, looks like 7 left of the great unwashed. Saiz will go somewhere sometime, the rest on loan worst case, so part of their wages covered at least. Could be worse?
Shame about Saiz because if he got his head down and put in even a 90% effort it could have made all he difference
Just updating first post because Lewie Coyle has been sent back to Joey Bartons Fleetwood for his 3rd spell. This time until January but you can bet we will never see this cracking lad in a Leeds shirt
Think I may have got the name right, after reading this ..... http://sportwitness.co.uk/despite-interest-psg-leeds-united-head-start-keep-player-club/ "One of the biggest talents of his generation"!
Just updated the first post as Tyler Denton is now the 19th player out of the door. He is being released this week so he can find a new club. Saiz is having trouble finding a club due to the outstanding court case for match fixing. Apparently he is way in the clear but until its done nobody will sign him
Just re-capping, why the fledge are we loaning Coyle out again, if he's not good enough now, then sell him, Fleetwood must be laughing.
Gutted because we spent a lot of time scouting him and getting him. He had some really good games and looked the part, but also drifted sometimes. We sent him on loan last Xmas to Morecambe but he never got a kick and I feared his time was up, good luck to him and maybe he was homesick so I reckon we made some money on this deal as we paid quite a lot for him
Chap in FB posted a selfie of him & Orta. Orta apparently said we have 1 more incoming signing, but would not give any further detail. The lack of a 'if no-one else leaves' caveat suggests that it's assumed that no-one else will be leaving.
A potential Pontus replacement is being talked about as Ryan Nolan an Irish 19yo who plays for Inter Milan is on the radar. I was made aware of this yesterday but hearing it in a few places now. The kid has Captained Milan's U19 team, since his arrival as a 17yo. He has played for Ireland at U18 level and recently called into the full squad. Tonight he plays for Inter Milan first team against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League. He is a ball carrying player with a range of long distance passes in his armory. Hope this comes off because he will be either on a par with White or even better. He is in the last year of his contract and wants a change and to play regular football

He will demand decent transfer fee because he's an England U21 and U18 International. Wasnt great on loan at Scunny just ok so will end up out on loan with the club hoping he improves so we get a decent fee in the end
Was going to ask if we are clearing the decks to bring a decent signing in or is this just to meet Sustainability & Profit rules?
