Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen Can confirm Leeds and Barcelona have finally reached an agreement this evening for Raphinha. My understanding is the €50 million + 10 fee is incorrect (Leeds rejected that offer quite some time ago) and the deal is actually worth close to €75 million. I read the same thing thi...

Just reported: Leeds United and Barcelona have finally reached a €60m (£50.7m) agreement for Raphinha, according to 90min. It looks as if Andrea Radrizzani and the Whites will receive just over £50m for their star attacker in what will be a 16% discount on Chelsea’s £60m offer. https://www.football...

In the words of Paul Pogba, they say they want him, but then offer nothing

What irks me about this saga with Barca is how they are approaching Rapha and Lewa first, then getting them to essentially push form the inside so that they get a better deal. It's crazy and I'm sure there is a rule about this sort of behaviour? However I'm sure Barca will be allowed to get away wit...

So when Raphinha goes we will only have a net spend of nothing? In fact we'll be in profit by 5mil if my numbers are correct. Considering how thse transfer (though taking our two best) improve the overall squad that is bloody good business. Now to actually spend some cash on a big marquee signing li...

I think they'll let Barca have rapha for a bit less now to be honest. Maybe 50mil. It's the move he wants and we have a replacement. I don't want us to do that but I think we will. Also what did Mane go to Bayern for? 25mil? Look at his record, yes he older but he's 20 goals a season for the past fe...

What I really want to see now is a clear out of dead wood/development players. Such as: Poveda Casilla Costa Mccalmont Mckinstry Bogusz They are all listed in terms official squad page and I don't see any of them being good enough to even play a bench role at the moment. Poveda or Costa perhaps cou...

This is the best signing so far on paper.

I think Sinisterra, Kristensen and Aaronsen will become real fan favourites this year.
