January Transfer Window Rumours

[KlyBfc]

We're buying Humphreys so have to pay Chelsea anyway

More we may have to pay an extra fee / a fine sort of if he doesn’t play. A number of prem clubs have them inserted into young loan players contracts. As i say its just speculation but i stick by i don’t think we need a left back anyway, the two we have are good enough at this level.

[Woodleyclaret]

We already know all about VKs disaster signing, "Magic' cba Tressor. He showed no desire or aptitude to play when given some opportunities last season. Offloading anywhere is a must.Leeds are a team built on grafters and Tressor is not a player that they would be remotely interested in.

[warksclaret]

Redmond reportedly on £35k a week. If this is the case he has to go.

Surely would have taken a wage drop upon relegation, or was he on higher in the PL. Yes he has to go

[123EasyasBFC]

Can’t see why Tresor would swap one championship club for another.

Poor from Nixon to charge for a story that our owner has already discussed for free

[jrgbfc]

Nixon story this morning saying we want Tresor to play before he leaves.

Good luck with that one. Just get the waster out of the door.

[Cooclaret]

A decent manager would have taken Trafford out of the firing line rather than hang him out to dry. But how Muric survived those two howlers took some believing.

The way you have changed your opinion and joined those of us calling him out is laudable Tony.

[Cooclaret]

Got any evidence for that or is it made up rubbish like most stuff about Kompany?

Rubbish about Kompany; Christ on a bike.

Read the forum, some of it got deleted in various posts at the time, but there’s enough there to get you started.

[Cooclaret]

I don’t get all this hugging stuff by the Manager to his players as he enters the gym. I just pictured Alex Ferguson walking into Carrington and hugging Roy Keane.

Never a hug, always a red wine, in his office.

[Cooclaret]

Good luck with that one. Just get the waster out of the door.

I have a feeling, nothing more, tonight’s the night he’s in the bench!

It's normal to allow a great servant of the club one last run out for the fans to show their appreciation.

[NewClaret]

…..and his ‘camp’ believe Leeds want him.

Very strange story, I’m calling Nixon BS.

There’s no way we’d want him to play before he left, that’s complete nonsense. And there’s no way we’d let him leave to a promotion rival, whether they wanted him or not.

[randomclaret2]

Would trying to get Tresor to actually play the odd game before we sell him increase or decrease any potential transfer fee ?

[NewClaret]

I will be suprised if we sign a left back. The two we have, have played a part in conceding only 9 goals, i cant see Parker being concerned in that area. I also feel Humphreys loan contract might have him needing to play a certain amount of games or we have to pay Chelsea. Thats only speculation but hes played or come on as a sub in almost every game hes been available for including playing out of position on the right side on occasions.
And to add to that Luke Thomas isn’t any better than either of them. Very average player.

Don’t know anything about Thomas but there’s no way we’ll be in for a LB with Humphreys and Pires able to play there and Dodgson on the books.

I’m a fan of Pires but last few games Humphreys has looked much better going forward and is clearly the better defender so that’s his position now.

Makes me think the rest of the article is rubbish too.

What if …… he plays this final game on the 4th January - against our neighbours and scores the winner? Would all be forgiven ?

[Big Vinny K]

Tenuous rumours, but at least it gets us back on track
https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/kelec ... shortlist/

Tenuous is a bit of an exaggeration
It’s completely made up.
The article and that website in general is so poor - it makes this thread look like gospel !!

[NewClaret]

Whilst we have always been there or thereabouts this season, I think there has already been a fair degree of pressure like when we scored 4 goals in 8 games.

He's been calm and steady. It bodes well for the battles ahead.

Good point. Hopefully we’re now benefiting from his experiences elsewhere as a manager. Part of the problem with Kompany was that he was so young and inexperienced whereas Parker has been around the block a bit and also had some time out to reflect.

Why not, SP has seen him in training and might be happy to use him as a saboteur.

[dandeclaret]

I was one of Muric’s fans but he’s definitely crashed and burned since the back end of last season however I don’t think anyone can deny what cracking entertaining he gave us in his first season.

Maybe the Kosovon mafia have turned in him rather than trying to kill VK, and he’s feeling the pressure.

[hoosier-daddy]

Bizarre.

That's Leeds for you.

Humphreys isn’t a concern…..but I personally don’t think Pires is up to the required standard. Therefore, another left back (maybe a specialist left back with a bit of experience) would strengthen us and allow squad rotation with Humphreys. Pires is a very strange player but ultimately I don’t think he’s good enough for what we need.

Hallelujah to that

Does magic Mick need a lift to Leeds

[CrosspoolClarets]

There is more chance of me playing for Man City than Europe’s leading assist maker being sold to our biggest rivals for promotion. We know he has talent so it is way too big a risk it could backfire.

[bfcjg]

We could crowd fund and buy Tresor this iconic chippy to continue the legends theme in Brierfield.
Tresors tasty Trout.

If Brownhill has the chance to play football in Florence or Rome for either of those massive clubs he's got to snap their hand off!

Hardly surprising after his recent goalscoring

Yep really seems to be excelling in Scott Parkers team doesn't he

[fatboy47]

Agree...absolute quality manager now getting best out of Brownhill and others.

[burnley007]

Would anyone take Owen Beck at left back next season?

Even after who he's played for...

But surely if Scott Parker is looking after him anything you see in him will soon be gone

[ArthurNohair]

I’d like to think the club would retire his number once he leaves… just like he did once he signed.

I served my apprenticeship at a garage In Brierfield so just for fun I Googled that address. Lo and behold I used to go to that restaurant to pick up meat pudding /chips most Fridays before it was owned by Connelly. I distinctly remember that sharp U turn. Small world innit?

Watching his performance today we’d be better off with John Beck.

[Guller Bull]

Might have been covered higher up but Rangers also expressing interest in Brownhill

I think that makes a lot of sense for rangers and Brownhill.

He gets a chance to win a trophy and play some European football.

[bumba]

I know. I was referring to the goalkeepers.

I know, wasn't a dig at you bud

[Woodleyclaret]

It's imperative we sort out Josh Brownhills contract as at present we don't seem to have any ready replacement coming through

[jrgbfc]

Can't imagine Brownhill would take a pay cut to go to Rangers? Likely to be his last good contract.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Not sure it would be a pay cut.

40k a week would probably see him happy

[wilks_bfc]

If the other rumours are true, then he may be willing to go to Fiorentina and Lazio.
They are more likely to progress in the European comps than Rangers or Celtic

[jrgbfc]

I'd be surprised if Rangers had anybody on that sort of money. I can see him ending up as as a squad player at somewhere like Wolves or West Ham.
