Roberts looking likely.

Harry Shutter from Leicester and Mason Holgate also linked, but by nobody credible

not sure why Robert's was left to the last minute. he was always a good signing and gettable

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Feb 01, 2024 10:45 am  

Because Burnley hadn't signed a replacement. They're close to signing a RB from Belgium now.

Although, Brentford also linked with Roberts now

A lot of this delay has been to do with lack of movement in the premier league. They want prem players who aren't quite getting a regular game, Leeds didn't want to gamble on unknowns from Europe like in years gone by.. it also helps them recruit these players for next year if they work out. However it's a bigger gamble if we end up with nobody so fingers crossed they get a couple in.

Middlesbrough lost one of their best players to Villa today. Be interesting to see if Dewsbury Hall leaves Leicester also... lots of strong rumors going around.

Roberts deal agreed, medical this afternoon.
We're also trying to sign Shuster from Leicester according to the YEP

Good business that.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Feb 01, 2024 12:50 pm  

bernd shuster must be 70 nowadays. and yes I know you meant souter. rather have Worrall from forest

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Feb 01, 2024 1:41 pm  

I think he's pretty decent is Souttar, he's 25, so good age, top end championship/bottom half prem level centre back. Leicester paid about £15m for him a year ago.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Feb 01, 2024 1:48 pm  

I thought Godfrey might be a good shout and could still happen.
Aren`t Everton looking at Souter?
And if they get him we would likely get Godfrey.
