Noise growing around potential move for Alioski to Galatasaray in this window. Although none of us think he's technically a great player, it seems a risk to lose him now, and obvs would be a real shame if he went there.

Can't see Origi or Tomori coming in, and Traore would be a massive signing but wouldn't be until the summer - will be a lot of competition too, even after the season he's had.

That is actually a short list compared to the usual rumours, personally don't expect much if anything happening until summer.

Tomori went to Milan on loan the other day, so that won’t be happening.

I can’t see us signing anyone in the last few days of the window personally.

Agreed SW - definitely don't see any incomings.

I check the BBC football gossip column most days, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the lack of rumours about us this month - implies a settled situation, which (CB injuries aside) I think is an accurate reflection of reality.

If this happens it almost certainly won't go down well.
Rumours are growing that Leeds United star Ezgjan Alioski could be heading to Turkish club Galatasaray at the end of the season.

Surely someone’s told him of the repercussions ?

I said Costa was a waste of money before he signed and Traore is the same - great to watch him dribble past half the opposition, but absolutely no end product - hasn't scored a league goal for over 30 games and hardly any assists (I watch all Wolves games thanks to the wife supporting them). Stands and watches the game pass by most of the time so wouldn't fit in with our team ethos. Plenty of better alternatives. MOT

Although I think he's got the makings of an excellent footballer, and like to think Bielsa would be able to shape him into a much more rounded player, I'm inclined to agree that for the £35+ million required to sign him could be better spent elsewhere TL.

Although reports have emerged this week of a potential move to Turkey, the YEP understands there is so far little substance behind them and Leeds, believing the player is happy at the club, are hopeful of reaching an agreement over a new deal.
