You couldn't be more wrong re: the Citeh / Madrid nonsense , and I am sorry to mention the name for you as we all know you will cringe and have meltdowns but for a long time now ( when it was blatantly obvious we would have to flog him and he would want to go , even if we had been promoted ) then a lot of Leeds fans likened him to suit the Palarse set up ....if he goes to you fair enough but I hope we dig our heels in a bit like you lot did with Ben White .... we could do with a bidding war .

The City/ Madrid comments were in jest!
A serious question though about Summerville for you. I watched him in the play off final and he didn’t seem to be as motivated as I thought he would be. Is that just because he wants off?
I’d be disappointed with a player that didn’t seem to give everything in such an important game, or was he injured?
A bit of a guess for me but I’d assume Leeds need Summerville gone by the end of June for FFP reasons. Liverpool and Chelsea will have to act quick if they want him, that might mean them missing out on other targets. We may well not be gazumped if there is any truth to our interest.

Would also mean our spending is before the 30th June which would mean it’s in the same 12 month period as the sale of Caicedo? Which probably helps going forward.

I know it was in jest ( banteresque ) but I wanted it clear that we don't have aspirations of some of our better players going to world beating teams so to speak ......anyway . He is very much a selfish player ( who don't get me wrong has scored some great goals and we probably wouldn't have got to the playoffs but for the likes of him ) however we have a saying "Side before Self " and he is far from that , he wants the glory himself , removing his shirt and pointing to himself , throwing an embarrassing hissy when a penalty was taken from him by the " technically " designated team penalty taker , so he took it back and thankfully scored , I know for an absolute itk fact as well he has caused a few riffs within the dressing room , he isnt good enough for the premier league and its not sour grapes either , yep I would be happy if he stayed but realistically he is an asset and we need the dosh .

Yes, his attitude was what concerns me about him. Lots of technical ability but I’d have been fuming at his lack of effort in that Play off final.

We were fuming however it doesn't take a lot to snuff him out as such .... put 2 on him , stop him from cutting inside and he has been taken out of the game , he really is a 1 trick ( show ) pony .....

Can't imagine us paying £35/£40m for him. Huge risk. Leave that to the Chelseas of this world.

Worrying this ie Mitoma unless it’s cover.

Too expensive and fails the dickhead test - I think there will be better options out there. We do need another decent winger though if Mitoma and March are going to be vulnerable.
He has played double the amount of games at right wing than he has played inverted at left wing which is Mitoma’s position.
That said, like RDZ, Hürzeler loves an inverted winger. But TB plays this game a few moves ahead. Perhaps he is Mitoma’s replacement next year or the year after? If he gets his 22/23 form back, we’re not keeping him are we?

Harder to snuff him out if we have Mitoma on the other wing you can’t stop them both which could be the plan.

I think the dickhead test is rather overrated. Don't forget we gave jobs to the following people who all ulrimately failed the dickhead test according to NSC - Trossard, Sanchez, Potter, Winstanley, Caicedo, Bruno, Cucurella. I'm sure there plenty more you can add according to your own preferences.

Not seen him loads, but I don't think he is right for us, and not good value at all at £30M.

Is he as good as Mitoma, or Adingra, or Ibrahim or March? Chelsea want anyone and everyone that anyone else is interested in, and Liverpool maybe have a gap in the squad that he would fill nicely for them.
