You can’t buy a player if the team refuses to sell him. Sounds like they were keeping their options open and keeping him was their preference. Not many clubs prepared to hold out when their player tells them he wants to go. Hoping that it will placate their fans in the face of the other losses.

Swansea have pulled out of the deal, I just hope we tell them to FORK OFF at the end of the season when they try to flog him again. I'm sure they'll get a warm welcome when they come to ER 😠 wondering if Berardi will be fit in time to "mark" him out of the game 😁.

Not sure what the problem is with the terms of the deal so what if it’s£118k per game. IF he gets injured he would return to his parent club and we would have only have paid for the work he had provided given he’s a loanee.
Pay the £10 million straight off, and then he gets injured 🤷♂️ Plus when promotion is confirmed ( (and a bit of wings from Saiz) it will be chicken feed in Premier league terms.
God forbid we didn’t make it this year we have set the fee and if he’s the next Eddie Gray we may be more than happy to buy him still. Is it me? I think it’s smart, and blooming excellent.

It's happening! Deal seems sensible to me, doesn't gamble all on promotion. I wonder if we have a get out clause even if we do get promoted but he plays no real role in it! Don't think that will happen, gives him a real reason to perform . With the flexibility of Roberts and Hernadez, without even mentioning the myth they call izzie!, he strengthens the wings.
If we can get and then keep key players fit, we are going to have an exciting attacking force!

Your right Tory.
Promptly followed by a 1pt deduction for spygate.
For me this year feels more like nice to have rather must have. I’m sure more than one transfer will fall foul of the weather too, not sure how simple a journey would be for James from Swansea to Leeds? That must be factored into the equation for the clubs to reach agreement, so maybe not a cocoa and slippers end to our transfer business this year.
Also have a VERY good feeling about Mateusz 2 👍.

As predicted, looks like our transfer day business will be determined by Swansea's need to sell. They have 2/ 3 other loan deals and sales pending and I would imagine that this is the one they would like to avoid. Nice to have something to look out for on deadline day!
So far it's been an interesting championship window. None of the challengers seems to have gone out and taken a massive gamble. La parra to boro and Kiko, two of the key moves so far, unless you include Ashley to Derby. Have I missed anyone?
