What period elapsed between the deal being offered, the shower being taken, and the deal being cancelled? I suspect there was a fair gap between the first 2 elements.
I disagree, VK said everything was transparent and that the offer was dependent on two other changing factors, which made the offer eventually void, as explained at the outset by VK in his answer.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 12:38 pmAren’t they the same version of events?

So we don’t recoup the best part of £60/70m split between Benson, Zaroury, Beyer, Al Dakhil, Muric, and make profit on many others?

Let it be an object lesson, that sometimes when offered something, if you wait too long, then it will be gone.
I said buying like we have done in the PL isn’t a given.
...but we didn't.
Agreed, Woodley. I can't see him starting, but he could be a very important impact sub with his free kicks.Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 1:28 pmScott Twine has been excellent in preseason and needs to be in our squad not farmed out to some lower league team

As has been explained above, we made a 'conditional' offer, those conditions meant that if we were successful with other offers for players and an easing of the injury situation then it wouldn't go ahead
I don't see what's difficult to understand here.
It’ll leave us to pick up the pieces next season with a player that has been to Hull and back.
I did spot him outside the ground this morning around 11sh, Red Tesla, there was a few other players heading in as well, my thinking was he was dropping his car so it’s there for after the game as they all arrive on a coach to home games now
Yes he can. He has speed, long legs, excellent dribbling to hold a ball or take out his defender. Can go deep and play on the counter. A bit like Thierry Henry's playing style in the sense he can play on the sides, his acceleration and dribbling skill. but he used to be more about showboating and entertaining the public when he was young. He needs to work on shooting finishing, being critical, giving assists. Becoming more efficient to sum it up. Which is something VK can definitely help him with. Also in the air he should improve to be a good 9. But I do see him developing into a more complete player in the future.

I thought he was good in pre season. Great vision, passing and good shooting. Hope to see him back in the team next season if he gets loaned out.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 2:13 pmI'm a bit disappointed for Twine tbh, those injuries really set him back.
Messi is small but he's done alrightjedi_master wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 10:38 amAgreed with this and said similar recently. Hamer is a really lovely little footballer but his size is a problem I think when we already have a relatively tiny midfield.
Actually, I like Leeds, the place. Not the football team, obviously.
To be honest with the players we have brought in I’m not sure twine even gets on a nine man bench we are that strong now. (If the linked players come in).JimmyRobbo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 2:31 pmThere's a great player in Twine. I think this season would be from the bench, at best.
If there's anyone who needs to be playing regularly, given their stage of their career, it' Twine.
Good move. Bring some needed money in. He'll get games and either come back stronger for our next season or will have been in the shop window like Harmer at cov. Hull should be a strong team this year and I think he can continue to grow towards his potential.
Good move all round.
The worst thing about Leeds is Leeds United fans (most of them)
It’s indicative of how we approach transfers now. We have several deals on the go at any one time, progress as far as we can and then make a final decision. That looks to be exactly what has happened here.
We still need Tresor tbhVegas Claret wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 2:39 pmI just hope it means we aren't reliant on Brownhill taking free-kicks again
At this moment in time the EPL is a step too far for Twine. By playing regularly in the Championship, it will allow him to come back and allow the odd glimpses of brilliance he has shown, to be done on a more regular and consistent basis. We need to specify game time or recall him if this is not being honoured
From what he’s shown since joining us I don’t think it’s been enough to expect him to walk into a top Championship side.Jambounchained wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 3:19 pmI'd much prefer if he went somewhere better than Hull. I can't see them being anywhere near the top of the Championship.
