Apparently a confirmed ITK says the Trafford interest is legit and initial discussions have taken place.

Also, the only thing more absurd than 80M for Gordon is that broke arse Barcelona would somehow be able to pay it.

I refuse to get excited about Trafford, no way he comes to Leeds, right? Figured it’d be somewhere in that next tier (thinking Newcastle, Villa (no idea where there GK situations are though).

I am torn, on one hand, it would almost feel like a coup, on the other hand is he THAT good to where it makes sense to spend a significant amount of our limited funds and not use that money elsewhere when Darlow has been serviceable?

I'm with you on this one, maybe it could be a loan to buy option where what I assume the 25-30 million it would take to purchase him his kicked down the road to next summer

Also, saw where one guy who had connections last year (but since moved jobs so not as much connection for transfers) has stated there is a little disconnect between Farke and the board as it relates to style of play. Rumor is Farke wants to go back to the 4-2-3-1 while the board wants to continue with the 5-3-2 or whatever we played the second half of the year.

To me it seems like a simple solution, you purchase versatile players who would fit in both systems allowing Leeds to be more flexible. But maybe it is just an ego/pissing contest behind the scenes on this topic at the moment

I think there has been speculation that Darlow could look to cash in on his performance with a move away or request a longer deal than Leeds is willing to go.

I would definitely be okay with him being the #1 next year based on what he did this season.

Trafford feels like the annual summer transfer that makes so much sense that it doesn’t happen. (Paixao last year)

Waccoe ITK alert

Definitely Maybury in response to someone posting a clickbait article about Leeds being interested in bringing back Summerville
quote:

Not happening, but when it comes to former players, Georginio Rutter... may be possible

Then Dan from the square ball also commented saying he has been told that a couple different people in the club think Summerville is a “count”

Maybury then mentioned the summer we lost Archie, Georgi, and Summerville that the club wasn’t sad about selling Summerville unlike the other two

Maybury also mentioned he heard we are interested in Harvey Elliot but not sure if it is an either or between him and Georgi

Could you guys imagine Georgi being back and taking Brenda’s minutes in that role

Barca also about to drop 100 million euros on Alvarez.

I think Summerville’s brother/agent was the real count and was paying Fabrizio to do all those “big move incoming!” tweets including one on Christmas morning.

Story was posted about some team Christmas party event that Summerville showed up to with about 20 additional people in his entourage and his own private photographer

Was said if he wasn’t already in the side he would not have been considered for a transfer given the no dickheads policy that’s in place

Would love georgi to come back if the price was right

There are a few twitter dickheads that seemingly blame the playoff final defeat on him and Summerville

If Georgi didn’t get a hernia injury at the end of that season I still believe we would have gone up automatically

And tPirate, those were two big losses for the run in

When Georgi came back you could see he clearly wasn’t healthy

If only Kalvin hadn’t completely fallen off maybe he could still be a squad option.

Losing Bamford hurt too because we had to go back to the Georgi/Piroe “who is the 9?” formation

Would love Georgi to come back just for the vibes - no chance he leaves Brighton though, or are they having to offload some?
