Can honestly say I rarely watch Spanish Footy so haven't seen much of Rodrigo.
If we get him where will he play?
Is he purely an out and out striker or is he creative enough to play the #10 role?

26 Aug 2020 00:35:36
🇨🇦 he's a Spanish Bamford but better.

26 Aug 2020 01:21:05
Was reading a bit on him and it sounded like 2nd striker was his most effective position.
We need both so was just wondering where he'd fit in our line up.

26 Aug 2020 04:55:53
Exciting player, scored 19 goals two seasons ago, scored 6 for Spain last year. He can score and create. Had 5 seasons at Valencia, over 200 appearances. Scored against Chelsea in London in Valencia’s Champions League win there. If he settles and likes the club I think he will do well. Good to have Pablo in the side, with his Valencian connections to help him settle.

The money seems a lot but it won’t be if he comes good and contributes to us staying in the premiership.

Spanish, thank you for the comment on Rodrigo. Sounds positive, and sounds like he could be a very useful addition if all the stars align.

I have read that a fee will be anywhere between £20m (as his club are in financial difficulties) to £30m (which still doesn't seem that much for a forward in this day and age)
For me the transfer fees are all relative. We spent £10m on Bamford when our TV revenue in the Championship was about £3m. This year are TV revenue may be £100m+. So hopefully the board will show the same optimism this season.

If we could get Brewster in as well we would be looking good upfront.

26 Aug 2020 13:17:33
No to Brewster yes to Cabral, , talk is Victor might be on a detour to Portugal now.

"Good afternoon Mel, It's your pals at the EFL here. As we mentioned a while ago that there wouldn't be any issues with flogging yourself the ground, it is now Official, no case to answer. Hopefully the extra cash came in handy to sign Wayne. Anyway all the best for next season, we are with you all the way. Up the Rams! Tata for now".

Pretty much in a nutshell LUFCfeath
# stinks.

The biggest urine take I have read about in a long long time,

25 Aug 2020 21:58:54
If it was leeds 20mil fine and minus 15 points for the next two seasons.

26 Aug 2020 06:52:54
But of course we get punished for celebrating too much.

25 Aug 2020 18:37:01
Andrex are sponsoring Berm new play.

25 Aug 2020 18:01:28
35 for Rodrigo
25 for Koch
20 for Wilson

15 over what we’d like to pay for the three. but get it done and Then get the team ready for the Prem!

We can do catch up on where else we need to strengthen in January as players get near to contract ends so will be on sale cheap and so save the 15 we’re spending to clinch the current deals.

But these three would put us where we need to be.

25 Aug 2020 16:53:46
These are a few of Berm's favourite things.

1. Animal. Donkey.
2. Pop group. Cheeky Girls.
3. Planet. Tattooine.
4. Shakespeare character. Nick Bottom from Midsummer night's dream. Sure being a playwright, Berm will appreciate.
5. LUFC player 💛💙 who else but KP.
6. Comedian. Jo Brand.
😆😆.

25 Aug 2020 17:46:06
7. Food. Tat on the hole. 😂😂.

25 Aug 2020 18:11:43
8. Fave cocktail : Rock bottom!

25 Aug 2020 18:27:43
9. Fave cricketer Salman Butt.

25 Aug 2020 19:42:20
10. Comedy show: Bottom.

25 Aug 2020 16:32:00
Congrats KP ⚽️🏆🥇🎈🥅💛💙🇫🇴😀
Bottoms up 🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂
Wonder if Star Wars football fans from the planet Tattooine will be tuning in to the game via starlink satellite 🌍🤣🤣😄😄😂😂
Question. Does anyone know where Salman Bermo is?

25 Aug 2020 15:33:27
Seems like everyone had beat me to it but well done Phillips, great to win that call up . And yes I'm fascinated to see what Bermos response will be.

25 Aug 2020 16:34:29
Probably ouch 😆😆.

25 Aug 2020 15:13:46
Derby County have had charges relating to a breach of English Football League spending rules dismissed.

I'm gobsmacked. F#ck the EFL!

25 Aug 2020 14:18:36
Well done to Kalvin Phillips on his England call up. What a season for him!

25 Aug 2020 14:28:22
Super. And obviously well deserved. 👋👋👋👋.

25 Aug 2020 14:52:40
Thoroughly well deserved indeed really pleased for KP.

25 Aug 2020 16:38:30
Feath Such a good season for him, it's been a dreadlock holiday.

25 Aug 2020 14:12:56
Has somone got to get a tattoo Philip's is in the England squad.

25 Aug 2020 14:05:28
KP for England get in there, fully deserved.

25 Aug 2020 12:40:57
$40 mill for rodrigos 😮☹️
$15 mill for Ollie.
$12 mill for Kent.
$10 mill for Koch.

25 Aug 2020 13:13:06
Rodrigo should be available for much less max £20 to £25 million as Valencia are in financial melt down not been able to pay players since January.

I think Leeds have a decent chance of buying Rodrigo depends if any other big clubs are interested in him.

Watkins has an £18 million release clause but can't see him coming to Leeds if Villa and Smith want him

Kent chose Rangers last season over Leeds, debatable that he even wants to join Leeds, that said the ' mighty ' Glasgow Rangers post the virus appear to be skint in financial difficulties with just
tiny income from the Scottish TV deal and no gate receipts from fans so a bid of £18 million plus would probably be accepted.

Koch looks good and good value hope he comes.

{Ed001's Note - Kent's missus is at uni in Glasgow, hence him wanting to be there for now at least.}

25 Aug 2020 13:20:49
Don't think we will be in for Ollie Aus.
Looks More like:
£30M (£35M with bonuses/ add ons) Rodrigo-3year deal been mooted
£12-14M Kent
£10M Koch (Bargain if that is true) .
£16M Cabral
Maybe looking at Rob Holding too MOT.

25 Aug 2020 13:25:17
I don’t think we will get Kent, Rodrigo I think looks possible and yeah I think somewhere between 20-25 hopefully, Koch looks a viable option and this caldera deal looks promising.

25 Aug 2020 09:36:12
Listen fellow leeds fans it don"t matter who we sign beilsa and his assistants will turn them into star signings peed off wi all rumours tho.
