I'd take Gray and Albrighton. Double-swap with El Khazi and Trezeguet the Second.

We can forget about cantwell from what I've heard.

We enquired and he was very rude and dismissive of us and Dean and it never got past the tentative enquiry stage. He thinks Man u or Chelsea are just waiting to snatch him from the championship and only wants to play for one of the really big boys.

Buendia would be my top priority! Benrahma would be far to expensive and I'm not a big fan of having my pants pulled down by the same club twice. We have money but we need to spend it wisely

Gk a certainty
CB has been on the cards for ages with one falling through when we binned off suso
A CM is wanted but won't break the bank
A winger will happen and is now the absolute top priority
King we are supposedly on the verge but this will see either samatta or Davies leave maybe both

Samatta is wanted by a couple of champions league teams and may end up out on loan with one of them. Davis won't be sold under any circumstances as smith really rates him in a heskey roll, I expect him to end up at Swansea.

Sprinkling of itk and stuff ive assumed after speaking to my friend this morning.
Disclaimer he knew nothing about watkins or Wilson but did tell me about Martinez so he does drop the odd pearl now and again even if it ends up not happening.

I wouldn't want Cantwell if he's slagging us off HT.

wonder if we're selling any?

we've got plenty to go out; Hogan, numerous wank keepers, Lansbury.... to name a few....

Listened to the 1874 podcast earlier and it was indicated by Greg Evans that a “sit up and take notice “ signing was possible in the No 8 position. He indicated this was a position that we’re looking to strengthen. He said it may not be a huge fee (or record breaking for us) but a player others feel we wouldn’t be able to attract.
I’ve just read through the last few pages and some are questioning his reliability, so who knows, perhaps he’s covering a few bases so can claim he was on the money if it comes off.

Gk Alphonse Areola signing for Fulham is a class signing  its loan and would have taken him at Villa
Very decent buy but
he was mentioned to be going to Arsenal which would free up Martinez to a move to Villa.

I've heard he's a bit of a tit.

Leeds are going to have a ginormous FFP problem if they don't stay up and they can't shift some of those 'big names'.

I think we are probably keeping within our salary structure so far.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Leeds spent all those years getting the club back in some sort of order, came up to much fanfare and then promptly went straight back down and back into deep financial trouble.

some new suggestions that the Rashica deal may be back on.
