Apparently we are preparing a bid to bring Howson back from Norwich 4 mil reporting on some sites ? Thoughts people?

6 goals and 8 assists this season so he smokes any of our current midfield, sadly, and he always did step up his game in big matches in the Leeds shirt. £4m seems a little steep for a player a club is actively trying to get rid of but I would rather him at that than shelling out £3m on an untested Lg2 player, which we seem to be looking at again. Gives us the option to start him with Hernandez coming off the bench against tired legs for the last 20 too which might be fruitful.

Not sure. Havent seen him play this season
But $4mill? Seems steep
$1.5 max i reckon

He's a much better player than Hernandez so yes Leeds should sign him

Can play both number 10 and number 8, so perfect for monks situation. Something he tried to adapt Phillips into last year but couldn't cut it. Howson has experience now and after 2 years in the premier league and 4 in this league, I think it would be a steal as we would all love to see him back and making this club head upwards and only upwards. Good signing

Probably not for 4 million but at less of a price absolutely

It's a no from me. Over rated, bang average but rated because he is local. Not pulled up any trees at Norwich and if they want rid, why would we want him? ! Look forward not back. Had his time and 4 mil wouldn't represent value.

He would go missing for large periods of games, gave the ball away far too cheaply but would occasionally pop up in the right place. Two million max but I honestly don't think he would add much.

Leeds looking to sign Sako and Bartley on a permanent basis. not bothering with Pedraza, Barrow or (surprisingly) Grimes.

Sounds like good news to me :) any word on Mr Monk signing?

Talks set to continue this week and next according to the man himself. For me that suggests he has more chance of staying than not.

Obviously doesn't want to get promoted then, sacko does nothing but run, I'd prefer someone who can cross the ball and score more than 1 or 2 goals.

Swadlad. Sacko's is only missing two main aspects to his game, knowing when to cross and putting in a decent cross. Those are the type of thing that can be taught. He's got pace and trickery in abundance to go around, baffle and scare defenders which can't be taught, that comes naturally. He's also got youth on his side, give him a chance, I believe he's got loads of potential to be a star in the coming seasons. It's all down to him to take on board what he gets taught and put it into action on the pitch.

Definitely offers something but we would need to bring in a winger in front of him in the pecking order to push him and for him to learn off. We need more goals from our attacking mid and he doesn't offer enough right now.

W have offered Taylor a new contract but only to ensure we get compensation when he leaves.

I am of the opinion that we get compo anyway, the club will still hold his players registration so if he signs for anyone else we are still entitled to some brass.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 May 2017 15:11:08
But what if WB decide to pull out of the deal and no other clubs are interested in signing him ? We'd have to give him a contract

That would be fitting, the best LB in the league signing for another 2 years, so that we can make £15m instead of 5😂
