Interesting to read today that Leeds put 50% sell on clauses for Max Dean and Elia Caprile, when we all thought they'd just been released on frees. c. £1.5m income.
Maybe, just maybe, Leeds are finally learning how to play the game properly.

You say that but Caprile gets nowhere near our first team yet last season played on loan from Napoli as first choice keeper for Empoli in Serie A. We seemed to have failed to identify a decent goalkeeper there and maybe should have been playing him instead of Meslier.
Dare I say it, major faux-pas employing Orta's mate for so long.

I’d say it’s more of an underwhelming welcome from the Leeds fans than an underwhelming signing. Seriously cannot believe the number of folk saying they’ve never heard of him when he was discussed several times over in the January window and then went on to the play for a direct rival for 5 months. Scored one of goals of championship season too.

^^^

Totally agree.

He might not be a wow signing.

He's exactly what we need, experienced,
rock solid top-end of the Championship/bottom-
end of the Prem player. Always liked the lad.

Deja Vu and all that, but, I'm going to try and
hold my hysteria until we know what the squad
actually consists of once the actual games
start. I do feel like the 49ers and staff know
what they're doing.

Haha. Ridiculous statement.
You're saying Leeds should have played Caprile, our 3rd choice goalie at the time, instead of Meslier?
Yeah right.
Name me any manager in the history of football who would have made that decision?

I won't wait .

Probably not but certainly failed to identify a proper talent at the club, one who by the looks of things could turn out to be a better keeper than Meslier, and you are talking about sell on fees.
Abad failed to bring him through.
Should certainly have been challenging at the club last season and given the fact he was playing top flight football and Meslier the league below would he have been our 3rd choice.

.....and you know this how? Unless you've some hidden talent, all I'm seeing is unjustifiable waffle 🤷‍♂️

A bit late re: the OP but ‘welcome to ER’ Joe Rothwell👍

A bit underwhelming for me.

Heavily linked with Jayden Bogle grom Sheffield United. A pacy right wing back. A bit more exciting!

Well, it’s apparently happened before to us….

David Seaman ?

Looks like Kamara is off to Rennes. 8.6m fee agreed (10m Euros)
