You have absolutely no idea how much Leeds are going to throw at their squad, so you can’t be sure they can’t afford him.
If they are sensible then no they certainly can’t afford him but this is the MIGHTY Leeds, who may even surpass Fulham and Villa in their spending to rebuild their squad of loanees, old men and Championship quality players
Leeds spent £0.00 on transfer fees in the last two transfer windows. And are in profit by £24m over four transfer windows. What makes you think they will spunk money about like the idiots in charge at Villa and Fulham? There is no evidence of them, under this ownership, behaving that way.
Expect entitled Leeds fans to get really upset when they are closer to doing a 'Norwich' than a 'Fulham/Villa'.
