[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Crikey. This is going to be some squad

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Wow. Sort this one out and that appears to only leave Ferdi on our shopping list assuming the guy from the MLS is booked in for January.

And a cb if dreaming

Bloom is a mad lad.

 

[Shaktarman]

That Graeme Bailey and that HITC rubbish aren’t very good sources on the whole recently. Used to be half good when he worked for Sky. Not saying it’s not true, just that he’s not the best source.

Does O’Riley play box to box midfielder? I think Gruda will be more attacking mid off the front man..?

Bloom is a mad lad.

Bloom is just quite a few steps ahead of everyone else.

I suspect most of these signings are funded from the projected sale income of our PotS 24/25 next summer for £80m+.

Let’s enjoy Pedro whilst we can.

In recent years, I thought HITC were bloody awful. A relentless churn of eye catching clickbait, that rarely amounts to real transfers.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Wonder if we still want this to happen after the Gruda deal. I think so as CM looks a bit weak to me still.

Interesting to see how this will develop having missed out on KDH. Do we have someone else lined up if O'Riley doesn't happen? Give Moder or Dahoud another chance?

Highly doubt it would happen due to cost and player preference, but I'd pay 10 mil more for Gallagher if the Athletico deal continues to fall through. They'd be an English club buying tax but maybe less for us given we're probably not top 6 contenders. Far more suited to a Hurzeler system than De Zerbis. Don't think hed be interested anyway but ya never know.

If we want a creative CM to replace Gross that’s not Gallagher. If we want someone to replace Craig Mackail Smith to run around a lot with bouncy hair, then that’s Gallagher.

 

[Super Sub]

If we are genuinely still in for this lad after signing Gruda, I don’t think anyone will be able to question the clubs ambition again.
It’s already been an incredible window and yet we continue to be linked with this guy, Gomez and Ferdi. Good times.

Looks like the O’Riley deal is surely off…….

Rutter anyone

And here…..A Leeds fan (a nice one, not the usual stereotype) in pieces.

“It was O’Riley or Rutter for Brighton”

“Our promotion chances are over”

“Rutter is the best player in our squad by a country mile”

 

[Munchkin]

I also suspect this deal is now off the table.

I’m not sure that O’Reilly and Rutter are similar players though.

Actually feel a bit sorry for that guy, but hope every other Leeds fan I have ever met is even more pissed off than him.

 

[Baldrick]

This guy has said they need a forward and midfielfer, so surely we can loan Leeds a couple of our young players like Moran and O'Mahony.

Atalanta and Juve now in for 0'Riley

 

[Hugo Rune]

Atalanta and Juve now in for 0'Riley

Let them have him. We almost have a player 2 years younger who has played over 70 times in top European leagues, not the MTL! Hopefully worth the extra £15m or so!

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Not sure what Atalanta are faffing around at, just had a fifth bid (21.5m plus add ons)rejected for O'Riley.

Hummels hasn't been found in any aisle yet.

Only if we explain to them in words of one syllable what 'loan' means, with particular reference to what happens at the end of it!

 

[Seagullspoons]

If we can get Ferdi, O'Reilly & Rutter over the line it's going to be some squad. Can't belive so many pundits etc have predicted we'll finish 11th. That's madness when you look at the squad potential now compared to last season. Uncle atone has used Chelsea's money wisely (unlike Boehly)
