Ambitious Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I don't know how good he is, but if he's good then we'll have him. If not, they can have him. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works for HITC now so is entirely dependent on clicks. Hence his previous assertions that 6 championship clubs will be placed in transfer embargo. But naming no names... Because he has zero info. He's thrown something out there and he'll get the clicks because Leeds have a lot of fans. Brentford were quick to tweet when an offer from an unnamed club had been accepted. I'm sure they will be just as quick to tweet if a second offer from a second unnamed club is also accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Local Leeds paper saying they held talks with Brentford last night and are set to meet the price Brentford want and go head to head with us to sign him. But as yet they haven't made the bid - wonder where Vydra to Leeds fits into all of this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well at least it's not a bidding war. We are the more stable of the 2 sides with the better summer to date, but I do wonder if they'd offer higher wages. If all things were equal I suspect he'd choose us. Lampard will be a bit of an icon in his lifetime. Although Bielsa has managed Argentina it's 14 years ago and he's been patchy since. Plus he did this. As he's Dutch he may know about Mount's spell over there. Mount might even know the lingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Nixon says we are confident of getting him. Fee is 2.75m plus addons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Do we need another winger? Wilson, Lawrence, Thomas, Bennett, Anya, Gordon, Blackman, Johnson can all play wide roles. If we are confident of selling / loaning 2 or 3 of above then fine. But there's not so much as a hint of any outs in the press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could look at the squad now and say we don't need to sign anyone as we have all position covered, but I'd like to think each season we would look to improve on what we have where we can afford to. If Jozefzoon can come in and do that, give the man a Derby shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon's a long way off first team level. Johnson is not capable of being a winger. He can play on the left of midfield in a narrow system, not as a winger.

I think that's more to do with Alex Neil than anything else. I for the life of me can't see how he orchestrated such a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I watch a lot of championship football and I like watching Brentford because they always seem to find good players but I can’t remember this guy as one I noticed which is strange - the fees being quoted seem very high for a relative unknown in the last year of his contract ( Brentford seem to get very good money for their players ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to shift players on. That's the job of a director of football or ceo usually. We have neither. We have an executive chairman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was playing LW though, I think he was playing LM in a very narrow midfield. Could be wrong. I don't see how he'd find himself in 16 scoring opportunities playing LW myself ? especially having a very poor right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
