    Not a rumour, but Konsa is now officially a first team player according to Slade, so we won't be signing another defender at least (hopefully)

    Actually, Konsa is one of the players Im looking forward to seeing on Saturday, most of the reports say that he's one to watch.

    Pearce, Bauer, Johnson, Konsa, Lennon

    Still no word on Tex, but you can definitely expect him to be off now with 5 defenders in the squad.

    I've never seen Pearce and Konsa play but I can definitely only see 4 defenders in your list

    So 250k, not the 375k that some people were on about. Still a small fee for a player nowadays, hopefully he'll be worth it

    Did anyone say 375k?

    Possibly not on here, but I saw on Twitter someone complaining about how 375k is too much, i think they assumed the add-ons were 100k to the 275k fee quoted beforehand.

    Nonetheless, it's bodies in the door

    My faith in the regime is such that I expect that Konsa's elevation means that they hope Bauer will play in the next two games and be sold before the end of the month.

    Magennis and Thompson are decent signings for now, especially Thompson.

    When you add those two to our other signings of Ajose, Rudd, Novak, Pearce, Holmes, Crofts and Foley - it actually looks like a decent bunch.

    The problem seems to be how painfully small our squad is, but the guys we've brought in are of a good quality and profile. At least we've moved away from random Belgin players from the network!

    Absolutely

    If we get Thompson, Magennis and the Winger on loan, i'll be relatively pleased, we still need an Engine roomer with pace.

    And still I say F*** You Roland, F*** You Katrien, F*** You Murray.

    You're doing less than the bare minimum to keep us up this season.

    TO KEEP US F***ING UP!

    Thompson isn't coming. Alex Neil said he sees him as part of the first team squad.

    I've been raving about him since I first saw him. He is the real deal. So calm on the ball, great in the air. A real footballer.

    If you look Magennis' video on You Tube theres a couple of headed goals where he stands his ground and just holds off the defender. He is extremely strong. His last goal on the compilation is a low cross to him, control with left foot, swivel and volley with right foot. It's really rather good.

    Someone commented that Leaburn was hard to play against and I think this fella will be too. Strength and mobility don't often mix.

    Only downdside I see is he is probably going to have toblerone feet and look a bit awkward - more an athlete than a footballer. With that in mind I hope people are realistic and give him a chance and not expect the new Ronaldo. Effective he might be - pretty, probably not.

    We have made a enquiry for Samuelson but championship club have already got a loan bid in for him.

    This is from a West Ham friend who is pretty in the know over there.

    Not too sure about this one, he hasn't played many for Leeds since 2015- likely to be very similar to Harriot , in terms of skill but inconsistency

    From Wikipedia:

    "Jordan Rolly Botaka (born 24 June 1993 in Kinshasa) is a Congolese professional footballer who currently plays as a Winger for English club Leeds United in the Championship and also represents DR Congo at international level.

    He formerly played for Club Brugge, Belenenses (on loan) and Excelsior.

    He has been nicknamed 'The Wizard' due to his quick feet, trickery and skill with the ball."

    Looking at twitter it seems Leeds fans dont think he's been given enough of a chance. When they have seen him, he's got plenty of pace and skill but not much end product. So a typical winger.

    And we probably said the same about Harriott... and Cousins... and JBG... etc...
  • Right winger. We must be selling Holmes.
