Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

We could make the Phillips deal work.  Say if it was £13 million up front, and then the rest on certain conditions. £2 million based on appearances. £4 million if he makes the England squad. £2 million when he gets that ridiculous barnet seen to.

To which Leeds would say "Well that's great but we'll just hold on to him and get promoted instead at which point he'll be worth four times his current value and we'll have promotion money to play with."

They'll never accept £13m up front for their captain and their best player. And let's be honest, in this market they'd be insane to do so. Given inflation elsewhere, £24-25m sounds about right to me. In an ideal world he'd be a third of that price, but ho hum.

Spot the obvious flaw in that plan.

If they hold on to Jansson, Phillips, Roofe then I would say they are likely to go up next year. I hope I'm wrong but Bielsa staying is huge for them. Whatever else he may be, he's a very good manager.

They allegedly offered us more but lower than our valuation and we told them to fuck off.

Didn't the master negotiator Daniel Levy offer us twenty million quid for Jack? Not only that I think he waited until the last minute and we had been taken over whereas we might have had to except twenty million pre takeover. I think Bruce even said as much.

I though they offered 2M plus Onomah

I'd love to think that was our official answer.

Dear Mr Levy.

Fuck off.

Kind regards,

I heard it was 3 plus In Onomah and quite rightly we told them you go fuck themselves.

Jack will be taking Ali's place in the England team before year end you see.

Mahmoud Trezeguet ( Egyption wide man ) being linked. Had a good tournament so far from what I've watched.

He's actually Mahmoud Hassan, his nickname is Trézéguet. I'd be up for taking a chance on him based on what I've seen of him before. Only slight concern is why is he only in a near-relegation Turkish team.

If we want Phillips it'll be £25m upfront minimum. It's Leeds United and he's their best player, they have Bielsa and a great change at going up. It needs to be an incredible offer.

I suspect the longer it goes on the more the price rises too. Similar with us and Grealish last year.

Apparently this magical transfer wizard phoned Real Madrid today offering then Eriksson for £100M for a quick sale.

Sounds fair to me.

Would be worth taking a chance if only £7m given the stupid prices going around at the moment.  Looks like he gets fouled as much as Jack!

There's a rumour on twitter that Leeds want Hogan as part of any deal for Phillips, anyone free to help him pack?
