I guess you never know how a signing will translate but wouldn’t Gakpo most likely be an upgrade over James? If it helps the numbers work I would ship James today and bring him in.

In a perfect world they would just sign Gakpo, keep James for depth, and maybe loan Summerville.

Rumors running around that Gakpo is off to Southampton having agreed terms with PSV and Gakpo himself.

Just boils down to if PSV pull the trigger and actually sell him.

Sell James, bring in Pulisic on loan? I can dream right?

I thought Chelsea already said they are going to hold him hostage on the bench?

Well Lads apparently PSV have decided against selling us their Cody.

Reports say they turned down 43 million Euros from us and 40 million Euros from Southampton.

Poor victor must have had a lonely plane ride back by himself.

Edit: But apparently we are close to getting Bamba Dieng

I go to bed with Leeds about to get Gakpo and wake up with it fallen apart.

Louis van Gaal supposedly stepped in and prevented the deal from moving forward.

Not real clear when looking around as to why that was, but oh well.

We are good we have three strikers on the roster, even though only 1 could be available on most match days for the next weeks.

Dan James off to Fulham on loan. Wanted him to stay but that should open up more time for Summerville

Dieng is a nice prospect. Gakpo man Fabrizio says we’ll try again in January but im sure we won’t be the only ones. Damn you LvG

Rodrigo only expected to miss 3-4 weeks

Yeah, no doubt Sinisterra now gets the bulk of minutes and could also mean more time for Klich as Aaronson could slide outside to cover if needed. Is Dieng strictly a striker or could he provide depth across the front?

Maybe someone like Perkins is closer to the first team than we think.

It sounds like Dieng is going to be much cheaper than Gakpo so maybe they can use some of that savings to bring in a surprise left back today also.

I think he’s got a striker profile but can play across the front line.

Pulling off Gakpo and having him and Luis in the same side would’ve been great.

Sounds like Firpo and Ayling are back either this weekend or next week but another LB would be nice

I don’t get the Dan James loan. Leeds need the depth.

If Dieng can provide depth on the wing as well as up front they’re probably okay. James’ best attribute is that he runs fast but it doesn’t look like he’s ever going to be much of a threat to convert or create chances, and with the attacking talent being upgraded his minutes would continue to be reduced.

James isn’t a great fit for tStonewashed Jeans system either. Unless he’s playing up top where pace is his only real asset. I won’t forget him taking a helicopter down to London to play in the league cup the day his first kid was born and went on to score in the shootout. That was a pretty boss move.
