Phil Hay saying the bid to get Iraola has stalled.
The independent saying we've made an approach for Slot. Slot has publicly denied this.
Reports in Argentina saying we approach Gallardo, but he's not interested in taking over mid season.
Graham Smyth saying the club are going to have further discussions on the people on the shortlist. Apparently, there's 4 names.

It will be the release fee i bet. They'll be playing hardball. can't blame them. it'll be same with Slot. Both will be difficult to prize away. Sounds like Iraola hasn't turned us down at all. Slot is new bookies favourtie. Gallardo's odds have halved but he is still 10/1. Santo is an interesting one at 3rd Fav. Not my ideal choice as he's a bit defensive, but he'd certainly keep us up imo. Suspect 4 name is Postecoglou but i would be surprised if he wanted to leave Celtic so early.

Either way this isn't any easy one for Leeds but they must get it done.

Iraola staying at Rayo according to Romano. Although, the BBC have reported that Rayo have blocked our approach, so Iraola may still be an option.

Phil H reporting PSV General manager not happy at Leeds interest. You'd think Orta wouldn't be flying out if doesn't have some legs however... Iraola is interested but doesn't want to leave and fall out with the club and the club don't want to negotiate. This is getting tougher.

I missed the game due to being away.
Mate of mine an MU season ticket holder said Bamford the weak link but we played well defensively and with structure.
Would Armas be an option until the end of the season?

Chris Sutton having a go at Bamford who he says was criticising JM`s tactics against Forrest as it left him up against 2 centre halves.
Not sure if Bamford mentioned him completely mis kicking the ball in the penalty area or him unable to control the ball which would have given him a 1 on 1 with their keeper mind.

The players were losing faith in Marsch according to Athletic, an agent of one of the players told Phil H anonymously. Bamford was right imo. Forrest game was crying out for a change in tactics and it didn't happen.

Bamford did ok against Man U, he's clearly still a bit off yet but he did ok. A few times he should have held ball up better. The more minutes he gets the better he'll play, lest we forget he's barely played in 18 months, that's a long time.
