Where did you hear it ?, would doubt it's true probably just some Twitter type putting PH and Barnsley together to start a rumour.

Hope that's the case.

Looks like quantity over quality again. :roll: What we need is a GK, partner for Pontus, steel in midfield, another winger and another striker. We already have 4 RBs with long contracts, plus I believe Coyle deserves a chance now. Why would he come back to sit in reserves?
Coyle definitely deserves a proper chance imo.

Just speculating, but if we signed Saiz, Jansson, Alioski, Lasogga, Forshaw, LB, CM, Helander, Snodgrass (loan) and the youth signings, we'd probably be top 6 now. Hope the club doesn't focus on positions we don't need, rather than signing quality where we do this summer.

Cole does deserve a chance, but Yiadom is definitely quality by the sounds of it.

Thanks, I'm behind with all the news as out the country so rely on it here.
Agree think Coyle should be ready.

Not sure if it's true or just rumours, but this looks like exactly the same as what we've done last season. I'm willing to give a new signing the benefit of the doubt, but £4m is a lot of money (for us) to pay for a punt. I'd rather spend that on Helander and sort the defence out.

Not that I'd heard it previously from any reliable source but apparently 'everyone' knows that the club is hoping to persuade Hernandez to stay. The stuff about his pregnant wife and kid returning to Spain were true but Pablo does want to stay so they're trying to arrange it that he gets regular visits from family here next season.

Weve done enough of these lower league foreign striker punts for a good while.

Leeds are apparently in the process of completing a loan deal for Olympiakos' Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe.

Bringing in Olympiakos players ahead of Oscar Garcia joining, clearly.
