How many times do we "almost" sign a player, only at the last moment to be beaten. Our Plan B will probably be another free transfer who can't get a game in the Champoinship? Happens every transfer window it seems to me.

That is a hefty figure for JSL and to be honest, I'm pleased Leeds won't be taking that expensive gamble.
Just wondering, with Fulham bringing in a new attacker, have Leeds turned towards Harry Wilson again ??.

That is an eye watering amount of dosh especially considering where his game is at the moment, half of that would still have been a gamble. Glad we got priced out really.

yep - £50m for a 1 in 4 striker is ridiculous.

Not too sure we have a Plan B?
I believe we saw an opportunity to potentially get the lad at a good price considering Wolves most likely relegation and it never worked out that way.
Newcastle were in for him during the summer at circa 50 million and Wolves have stuck at their valuation which was a dangerous game but fair play to them.


Palace, Hammers and probably Forest all getting in a new striker this window. Our rivals are strengthening in the most important position. Will we do the same? Looking unlikely now.

Firstly I am glad we are missing out on JSL. £50m is a ridiculous free for him, £40m arguably to much as well. But, as Joburg says, we often spend virtually all of a window chasing a player who we are never really going to get, as we did with Paxio in the last window.

We are in a good position now to survive, so I hope to see some transfer activity before the window closes to strengthen the squad for the run in.

That a nut in a shell all above. Glad we didn’t sign him. Unlike others we are not desperate cause we on the up ( ed says ) . Think he will get injured first two games anyway. We now have three days to sign a cheaper better striker. Centre back and lb cover.
Do not go to bed yet.

Wolves laughing their heads off getting double what they paid for a bang average player. He could be playing against Wolves next season the way Palace are going.

Not that we would have ever paid £50million but I’m genuinely surprised the lad has chosen Palace, who are in free fall just now,

If you take out Glasner and Matteta goals (when he’s gone) and Wharton will likely have many suitors, and they’re really not a good side and will return to the lower half, bottom of the league once more.

Think we should still cancel JSL’s Agent’s season ticket, just for a laugh.

Or give hm a free ticket next year for getting us out of an overpriced deal and simultaneously screwing one of our competitors.
