According to social media Eduardo Cellino has allegedly informed a follower that Leeds will be in for Cagliari players Astori, Ibarbo and Adryan in the summer
All three are probably Cagliari's best players
That would be amazing but I highly doubt they will come to us
Cellino states in the messages the TO should be done Monday

The TO news backs up Survivors post, let's hope it's right. As for the players, you can only try. let's wait and see. Intresting times ahead, hope that it's what we all expect and not another garden path we are all going down. Please not again. I for one will be checking every news channel and this site hoping for the FL approval confirmation. Onwards and upwards.
MOT.

Erm and money comes from where calgiari turned down 15 mill euros for ibaro and frankly we can't spend that much ffp next season

His account appears to be genuine (checked)
Let's hope it is Monday

There are ways around FFP
One being loaning quality players instead of outright purchases
I'm sure Cellino's idea of purchasing fixed assetts in the club ie ER and TA will also aid us in player recruitment hence why he wants to buy them straight away
Not to mention he says he will write debt off which makes us technically start afresh and there shouldn't be cash flor issues next season as we will have season ticket money, no ground or training facility costs and 8 players out of contract
The guy isn't stupid

Speaking of out of contract, Cagliari have 6-7 players out of contract in summer, some decent ones too. I'm sure they will have turned their heads towards this direction after their owner came here :)

Ibarbo would cost 15mil+ and I believe Adryan is on loan from Flamengo. Stop playing FIFA.

Of course all these calgari players will be wanted by Mcdermott. (Thats if he is still here) Hope this doesn't turn in to a QPR situation!

Would be great, but seriously doubt it. Ibarbo is being linked with Inter, Juventus and Barcelona.

Would be great? you mention a few foreign players that cost a few million and people get excited.
Have you seen these players play week in week out?

Some fans are EASILY fooled.

Some fans are easily pleased? Well i'm not and the dross that's served up at ER at the moment is utter sh1te! You saying that these players (any decent players fffs ) wouldn't be an improvement?

Anybody would be an improvement on Cameron Stewart! And I mean ANYBODY, he is awful and an embarrassment.

Cellino must have watched that game today & thought what am I letting myself in for? And then thought it doesn't matter because most of this lot will be going! Including that clueless manager. Harsh. But fair.

Not a chance. Ibarbo will go to a big European club and Adryan is on loan at Cagliari from Flamengo.

There seems to be a legitimate picture doing the rounds on twitter of a screenshotted conversation with someone. I have a copy on my phone.

Loaning a player does not get round FFP, unless you do not pay him or his parent club for his services. Say a player joins LUFC from Real Madrid on season long loan, there will be a cost of that loan, say a million for the season, then LUFC would need to fund the players wage, this as an absolute minimum is 33% of his club salary, so if salary is 30K a week, LUFC have to find 10K a week for 40 weeks, so already that's 1.5million, for a not "The best" player., multiply that by 5 loans, and that's the 8 million that "THIS SEASON" a club can overspend ( Next season its 5 million ). See as things stand LUFC will have an overspend this season already.
