We seem to be going for a lot of Leeds players..

A part of me would like to think that Tony Bloom is enjoying picking over the Leeds carcass, as a bit of revenge on for all the Ben White shenanigans.
But instead of going for just one player, he's unsettling the lot. All of them.
I reckon he probably isn't. But that doesn't mean it's not immensely satisfying :)

That play off final defeat was huge for them.

They’re going to lose Gray, Summerville, Gnonto and Rutter aren’t they?! 😂
Leeds potentially losing Gray, Summerville, Gnonto, Rutter and Kamara is funny, but is it as funny as Palace potentially losing Olise, Eze and Guehi after 4 decent months? Tough one

I can't see them all going. Olise is as good as gone, sure. Guehi was always thought likely to be the one they'd most be prepared to sacrifice this summer, and his England form will only attract suitors. I guess it depends on what other clubs can offer. Palace finished the season well enough- albeit largely in dead games where they'd relieved themselves of the pressure of relegation and opponents were either dreadful or had nothing to play for- so they have reason for optimism, and we know they'll pay high wages if they need to (look at Zaha). I think Guehi's contract is the main thing for them, not sure he's got that long left so it might be a case of cashing in rather than losing him on the cheap at a later date. He's not going to City, I can't see Liverpool going for him, I don't think Villa would spend that much on another centre half and Arsenal don't need him. Eze has a release clause but if it's like Olise's, it probably only applies to Champions League clubs. Which rules out Spurs unless they're prepared to pay an awful lot more than he's worth.

I think Guehi will go to Utd, who do need him.

By way of comparison, Everton just signed Iliman N'Diaye for £15 mill who bagged 14 goals and 11 assists with Sheff Utd in their 22/23 Championship promotion season, yet managed just 4 goals and 5 assists in 46 for Marseille last season.

I hope they don't sell Guehi for top dollar. I'd rather they keep him than get a load of cash to spend. He's massively over-rated IMO.

The Eng-er-land media at the Euros have a set narrative about how AMAZING he has been. He really hasn't. He made a huge mistake in the first game (passed it, under no pressure, straight to the feet of a striker on the edge of the box. Because the bloke ballsed it up, doesn't discount the error. And then of course he was most at fault for the goal on Sunday that so nearly saw England dumped out of the competition (losing his header, and then failing to track his man).

Is this a fake rumour may be started by Leeds, if they make out they have kept the fans favourite after selling the lad to Spurs and maybe selling one other it will appease the Leeds fans. The rumour coming out a day after Gray signed for Spurs seems suss.

Unlikely if they complete the De Ligt deal.
Given that Varane is likely off, Maguire is in and out of favour and Martinez has had a few injuries, it actually wouldn't surprise me if they did. De Ligt and Guehi as a pairing would be very good indeed (if a touch expensive)

This has now been reported in numerous places including the Yorkshire evening post (like the Argus) so no its real!

I think Guehi is overrated, and has been especially so in the Euros. He almost gifted a goal to Serbia and would certainly have conceded a penalty and a red card if the Slovakia forward hadn't scored despite Guehi's trip. So I'll be very happy if he goes to Manchester United.
