He could only leave what anyone would be willing to pay for him.

Which is zelch

Agree with that, but how does it reflect on our books? I’m thinking the £15m would have been spread over 4 years, but if we let him go now the balance would be applied to FFP immediately…but I’m not positive how it works.

Yes thats excatly.

£3.75meach year, so if he went now, an extra £3.75m would be written off this season.

But you’d save 18 months wages.

This is an interesting assessment of why Spence has gone, and who Leeds might be looking at to replace him

Interesting the point he never played a full 90. I think back to the PNE game, Millar has got Archie on toast, we are down to 10 men and we have a natural right back on the pitch in Spence. Farke takes Spence off leaving Gray on.
Spence's attitude cost us that match? Maybe, maybe not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember shouting at the tv at 4.00 a.m. (sorry, mrs HOF) to get Spence on for Archie, but Farke didn’t and we lost the game. Did something happen to discourage Farke from making a change which all of us could see was essential? Spence has not been in the reckoning since then.

Its certainly worrying if Farke thinks we are covered at full back.

Of course Farke is not going to say “Yes, with Spence going we desperately need another left back” cos such a statement immediately puts the price up on anyone we might be interested in. The reality will be different. Let’s see

I can't see us signing anyone. Maybe we'll get a full back on loan. I think we'll stick with what we have. Hope I'm wrong.

Unless we go in with an offer for someone that is too good to decline I think we will get a loan in.

In January you are usually buying unwanted players or ones that have fallen out with their club/manager. I’d prefer a decent loan signing personally - unless we have identified a player we want long term and he’s made available.

Spence had a bad attitude. Who knows what happened that game? Farke has been careful not to hang him out to dry but we can all read between the lines.

Thought it was a bit pointless signing him anyway, we have 3 right backs (if you include Gray) ans only one left back who’s not exactly a good defender. Hopefully we get a left back in, one with a left foot

Looks like he’s going to Genoa on loan.
