See again Leeds are linked with James, Only if he's on a free transfer and not to higher wage, otherwise we should be looking at others, I know he's an x Leeds but we have so many maybe move on .

Whiteman, absolutely agree. Only if on a free AND much lower wages.
I love the guy, and I think he has a lot to give to a club like ours, but we can not afford to be spending a fortune on his signing if we get to the Premier League and it's only our first season there.
Just whilst I am texting, the scenario with Augustin. I can not imagine for one minute that there is a lawyer anywhere in the world that would aet up a contract that said we had to buy a crock. It just doesn't make sense. So any contract for JKA would have a caveat that at the point of permanent signature the player would have to go thro the normal medicals.
If thus is the case, if JKA gets thro the medicals (and LUFC have foreknowledge as to what to look out for) then don't we actually get a PL standard player for a very reasonable price?
If he doesn't pass the medical, sorry but we can't sign him
Further to that, doesn't JKA actually have to want to sign for us? Maybe he didn't get fit because he didn't like how hard he would have to train to get in the side. Maybe Murderball just gave him a reason to actually never get fit here. Maybe at the end of the day JKA didn't take to the Yorkshire weather and a staple diet of fish and chips.
For my viewpoint if we do sign him we will be getting a committed and fit PL player and if we don't then we didn't miss much. Win Win.

Whiteman.
. this James Milner to Leeds stuff is all pie in the sky as he signed a contract extension with Liverpool until 2022; furthermore he is on a prohibitively huge salary of £140,000 a week.
However, I believe Milner will want to go into coaching in 3 or 4 years time and it would not surprise me if he was involved in some coaching capacity in the future with his first love Leeds United
Logical post Axe re JKA situation ; one would certainly hope so.

Axa fully agree, Bazooka again agree, but football is a funny game and with the way we seem to buy players is wouldn’t surprise me, AJ was injured before we loaned him and still we went and signed him, but that’s because Radz left it to late again.
