Summer Transfer Window Thread

Gelhardt to Leeds ... mentioned by some on here. Seems as we are monitoring the last dregs out of all our targets and letting others nip in and build their squad whilst we faff around.

Leeds have now acquired 4 additions.

Who have they signed? One is a 16 year old from Linfield, one is a loan extension, one is their backup keeper going from loan to permanent and Gelhart won't be in the first team for another few years. He has one senior goal ever.

Are we supposed to be envious of this business!? 

Also have you not supported Albion for long enough to know that the media know sweet FA. In the vast majority of cases we hear about a signing the day before and then the next day it's done. The ones that the media report that we're 'monitoring' are usually not in our plans at all

Agree. 

If we’d paid 18.5m for Helder Costa and Mesillier in the current climate I’d be very disappointed... they may still yet have to cough up some dosh towards Augustin as RBL are adamant the £18m agreed price if they’re promoted stands despite the clause expiring end of June.

I’d have liked us to sign Gelhardt, but the other 2 havent represented good value.
