I very much doubt we will be a player given his likely wage demands but is anyone else surprised that Callum Wilson is available for £17m if the chap from the Telegraph is to be believed? I'd have expected around £25m tbh.
We are talking about the dildo boys and Karren Brady. Apart from being clueless they probably don't consider them to be rivals. Someone is getting a bargain.
Thanks for popping back to comment yet again on a matter that you don't care about. The problem for your synopsis is that if you are taking the agent's (full) comments at face value then you have to accept that Brighton have a much better squad than Leeds, at least in terms of defensive...
It's hypothetical. The point is I don't think we are going to leave ourselves with 2 strikers only until January. Trossard would never do 90 mins as a central striker anyway so, even if you are right, we would need another striker to come off the bench. A club with top 10 ambitions is not...
The agent's comments are best ignored really. He also went on to claim that the "issue" for him and BW was whether he would play. The world and his wife (outside of Leeds) knew that it was highly likely that Duffy would be on his way and we'd be 3 at the back with BW, LD and AW as the probable...
I think that it is Murray dependant personally because it's him or who, Gyokeres? He would certainly have been on the bench in your scenario. Also, two injuries is not a million to one chance is it. You can have evens with me that we don't sign a striker if you want it.
You are right and relegation bets outside of the Premier League should probably be avoided this season. Unless you happen to have an inkling that a particular club is going to go skint before the firms are aware of it.
Weghorst was my shout as a Glenn replacement but I can't see us paying £30m (or thereabouts) for a 28 year old. As mentioned subsequently, Cordoba would be a less expensive option given his contract situation. I am sure we have it in hand anyway.
I don't think I logged in much, if at all, during the enforced break. Not surprised though. Supporters are generally emotional in their assessment of their own teams anyway aren't they, whether it is wildly optimistic or overly pessimistic. Analytics and betting markets are a better gauge.
It's something of a cause and effect situation though isn't it? All clubs make managerial ricks from time to time but better (or wealthier) clubs tend to attract better applicants. It isn't simply a case of Celtic making numerous poor choices it's also the market in which they operate, surely...
Journalists and pundits (and fans of other Prem League clubs) had us as bang in trouble before the restart yet we were never shorter than 3/1 to be relegated. Probably mainly due to the XG stats etc that confirmed we were underachieving in terms of points gained. I'd be stunned if we finish...
Possibly, tomorrow's talks on the 5 subs situation will have a bearing. Can't believe we won't bring in another striker, not overly fussed about the LWB situation unlike some.
