Transfer Rumours/Signed

Whoever we get, Bielsa will make into the complete package as he did with Ben, Kalvin and Luke.

As long as we aim higher and get a better class of player than they were before Bielsa touched them, then we'll be alright...

Mitaman

Any suggestion that Orta comes up with must surely be approved by Bielsa, so if they are on the list, they are decent players that MB can do something with. MB doesn't have players thrown at him by directors of football and told to get on with it.

What's the craic with this PL promotion money then,how much and when is it paid (anyone)?
Far as I was aware,we still ain't got a pot to piss in but some of the players we're being linked with and fees mentioned suggest otherwise.

king_of_the_slums

Raposa no sure on when it drops, but it's 170m I believe

CharlieG

Juan Foyth mentioned in some parts. Has potential but error prone. Maybe MB can make him a player as he did with the untested White.

Mitaman

I think its like 100m +++ add ons and appearance money that leads towards 150-170m?

Rumour mill has it Leeds are going for the Argentinian CB Juan Foyth. Apparently he conceded two penalties on his debut for Spurs. Didn't Woodgate do something silly like that when he debuted for Real?

Mike_Jones

I think Woodgate conceded a penalty, scored, and got sent off! Did it proper. May be wrong about the scoring.

Don't think he scored for Real but the one he got for Bilbao was a cracker!

Mike_Jones

Yes indeed, a snorter of an own goal - https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/remembering-jonathan-woodgates-calamitous-real-madrid-debut/

And then he got sent off!!!

Brighton have just signed Joel Veltman from Ajax, he s 28 and can play right back or centre back.
Less first team opportunities for Ben White.

I've no doubt that Brighton will sell White . It's down to who our opponents are , what wage structure we will of planned and transfer kitty. Can't imagine we are going to pay much more than 30k a week in our first season in the prem . Not that I know much about the wages atm.

heyho

You can see a Liverpool or Tottenham or another top 6 established club coming in for White at more money than us and Brighton saying ker ching thank you very much, money is in the bank. No good for White as he will get limited first team opportunity. A year of his career wasted.

Some players wouldnt mind that as they have the prestige of a top club to their CV and a good wage but I would hope WHite actually wants to play football.

Ake from Bournemouth going to City, 40 mill bid accepted 😳

Mike_Jones

Bod Excellent! That's fucking great, someone should buy that spud from Villa, Mings. White must be worth 75 mill if that's the state of the market.

king_of_the_slums

Seems like silly prices for domestic based players, or maybe this is what it feels like to get bang up for 16 years and then get released and then you buy your first pint, "how much?"

Wonder if we'll get the lad from QPR in the end?

Funny analogy that?:

Delph amd Rose apprently according to Star 🤣😳🤔💙💛🤍

Placid Silly sods!

Hopefully Brighton buying a defender means they are ready to negotiate on White. If a 'sensible' price can be agreed, it would be one of the best buys Leeds have made since Rio. I reckon Ben could be the new Bobby Moore, I think he's that good.
