Don't seem to be having enquiries for some of the players I would like to see go, Roberts, Rodrigo, Llorente and Firpo.
Hard not knowing if we will have our 2 best players with us ( raphi KP) .
I think both will be taken, guess that's why Roca mentioned.
Still think max cornet be a fantastic buy and great replacement for raphi and would also try for Charlie Taylor too.
Would also tempt Chelsea with a bid for Christian pulasic.

Would luv Pulisic at Leeds .
Also in relation to your point on exits, I read over weekend Costa is on £46K a week ?.

KP to Citeh will definitely happen for a likely very good fee
If Daniel Levy was our owner Raph would be playing for LUFC next season scoring goals to ensure he remains in the Brazil World Cup team/ squad ; no way would Levy accept any Barcelona lowish offers . Sadly though Radz is no Levy in this respect.
There could be offers for Llorente but sadly not Firpo.

# Predictability of EPL
I think it was Class who stated that a Super Leagie already existed in EPL.
Indeed
I mean does anyone really anticipate the top 6 positions will NOT be all 6 of the usual suspects Citeh, Pool etc
likewise the bottom 6 slightly less predictable but still likely to consist of at least 2 promoted clubs possibly all 3, LUFC, Southampton, Brentford etc.
13 Jun 2022 14:22:14
Spot on Baz, sadly the bookies already have three promoted sides as favourites for an immediate return to Championship with ourselves highly backed for 17th odds of 9/ 2 for us to finish top half, be interesting to see if our odds change based upon signings think we need another four five more yet, six, minimum if our best two go.
Think KP will fetch more money than Raphinia such a specialist position he plays, and as much as we all marvel at Raphinia’s skills, take away his penalties and he’s not a particularly strong goal scorer, finisher but shhhh on that point to any potential buyers.

I’m assuming the top 6 you are referring to are the 6 who finished this season there however I feel Newcastle will be up there and I see Leicester and wolves with West Ham all pushing to try get into the top 6.
13 Jun 2022 15:30:30
1 newly promoted club always over achieves, (Bournemouth, Blunts, Us, Bees) to name a few, think Forest could surprise a few, Southampton may well struggle this season
Top 2 we know
Top 6 will probanly be same old top 6.
With West Sham, ville, barcodes and lester pushing them.
13 Jun 2022 16:09:03
Richie you are right about one of the promoted clubs often overachieving first season but hopefully this season all 3 promoted clubs struggle purely from a selfish Leeds survival perspective.
Definitely LUFC need strong recruitment summer window ( otherwise )
13 Jun 2022 16:24:33
I’d say Everton are easy in the mix for relegation, prospect of losing Richalison, DCL and Kean, probably need to balance their very over cooked books.
Lampard is not going to perform anything outstanding either, I won’t be surprised if he’s sacked before Christmas.
13 Jun 2022 16:37:04
Yes OP . hopefully Everton struggle a lott
Will they face any sanctions, points deductions a transfer embargo perhaps this season
as well as having to balance their very overcooked books.
13 Jun 2022 18:55:53
You also have Brentford who overachieved but weakened towards the end and without possibly Erickson and no signings as of yet you could add these to the relegation pot.
My predictions,
1. Liverpool
2. Man City
3. Tottenham
4. Chelsea
5. Man Utd
6. Arsenal
7. West Ham
8. Newcastle
9. Aston Villa
10. LEEDS UNITED
11. Crystal Palace
12. Leicester
13. Wolves
14. Brighton
15. Brentford
16. Everton
17. Southampton
18. Bournemouth
19. Fulham
20. Nottingham Forest
Feel free to join in lads ??.

Woody Neither Ambrosia nor Gooners will do as well as your predicted table in George opinion. George expects Vile and Hammers to displace them with Toon Army ? improving as well. Hard to issue any meaningful prediction until window ? slams shut. Oh and Citeh retain their title all day.

Roca has made only 24 appearances in two seasons - why do we think it's a replacement for KP.
14 Jun 2022 04:44:18
California Because KP is likely leaving! Once Roca signs we'll have both halves of the double pivot with Adam as cover. Once KP departs and assuming Marc has arrived we'll then need the other half of the double pivot. Simples.
14 Jun 2022 10:01:01
And KP missed 23 games through injury in last two years.
Have to remember Bayern are the Citeh of their league with the biggest and best squad, so not unusual to have fewer appearances. Think he would be a quality addition and agree with George it’s one of two new central midfielders to replace KP.
