Looking at Van Peppen (31) on a short term contract to replace Taylor at LB. Anyone watch the Dutch Lg and know if he is any good?

So the new mans in and his targets are being made clear already. Mateusz Klich - central mid. £2m bid suggested after having initial £1.5m rejected. Alioski- Right wing/Striker. £2.6m bid lodged waiting for a response. Prolific last season scoring 17 goals and 14 assists in Swiss league. I like the sound of this one but what happens with roofe and sacko. Samu Saiz - striker/ attacking mid. 12 goals and 8 assists in second Spanish division last season. Eibar have made a bid but we're looking to steal for £3m. Similar player to pablo but about 8 wars younger. Also been rumoured by the sun and Steve Evans that Leeds have about £20m budget for this summer to rediscover a promotion bid. Probably false as we'd need to buy the stadium first and rads has discussed this. However he may be making a gamble on security of promotion this season to fund a development of ER next year. Thoughts about this?

TC prefers a 433 formation and with Roofe able to play LW and ST it could actually help him, Roofe-Wood-Alioski, that said I would rather bring in a LW as I don't think Roofe will score enough (perfect time to bring Mad Max back) .

Sacko would take a hit but it might do him good to have someone like Alioski to learn from and compete with for that place. The strange one for me is Saiz, I don't see how Hernandez fits into a 433 as is so why bring in a similar player. £20m might not be far off the mark, we expect to get £5m for Taylor, would expect to pick up a couple more mill from clearing out some of the unwanted players, talk of another £5m if schmeichel swaps clubs, running costs are down, ticket sales up, etc.

As for ER it doesn't count towards FFP and Rad is wealthy enough to buy it back (a loan from his personal account to his business account that will then be paid back over time if I had to guess) .

Does that £20m include the £5m for Sacko and Pontus?

Yes I believe it does but that should be made up like it's been said before through Taylor, players like Erwin, bellusci, silvestri all leaving. I'd also expect to see a big bid for wood in the coming days ladies and gents. He's happy here so serious money would have to turn his head, off knows though may still be banging them in and all of a sudden he's got 15 by January and £20m steals him. let's hope not but that's a huge amount. Similarly he may only get 10 all season, hence the purpose for signing some new talent and getting rid of the likes of antonsson or possibly douk? Pre-season to start Monday with a few arriving late, but it'll be interesting to see who comes and goes

Wow no way I didn't expect Chris wood to attract attention :o but it's ok he's happy here so when a premiership team comes knocking he will say no I'm happy at Leeds lol stop kidding yourself, Chris wood will be wanted by quite a few teams and he will leave if he gets a chance of playing in the premiership whether that's at Southampton or Huddersfield he won't care because right now they are all better than Leeds united.
