Looks to be a very shrewd signing Bornauw, his ariel stats are off the charts.. top 1% in all top 5 leagues, all round defensive areas are impressive too and can pass the ball, looks a good athlete. Great price, ideal age and nicely experienced. The bottom 3 all fell foul of not sorting their defence out last year and paid a very heavy price. 


Just need a left back or two now (though i think Pascal might be cover there or if Byram signs again), also need cover at RB then that's the defence sorted for not much money, leaves the bulk to be spent further up the pitch.  


I do wonder if we might go back in with a bigger bid for Muniz...Leeds might be looking at spending big in that position. 

hopefully him!!!
odd good moments but never looked as if he'd ever be top draw. get £10-12m and buy muniz

Yeah get shut. Very unprofessional of him and probably shows why he wasn't a success last year.. he's not got the right attitude. He could have asked for a transfer but still come along to pre season tour.. its only in Germany. I'd hold out for £15m+ with a big sell on clause.. or loan him out somewhere, where he'll score a fair few (Rangers anyone..).. then sell him for a lot more next year.. he's still got 3 years left. But, i do get it that Leeds really could do with raising some funds to get Muniz and Paixao in the here and now... 


Interestingly, this now leaves us with only 2 strikers, 3 if we manage to get Muniz. Also from YEP, we don't seem to be in for a 10 now, but G Smith named a LW, 9 and a GK.... plus cover elsewhere (very probably fullback cover I would imagine).. 

the scum game saw a 4-3-3  and I'd expect longstaff, stach and ampedu in there. very solid.both wingers dropping in to make a midfield 5 when we don't have the ball.  no real need for a no 10 in that system 

Yeah, can see us going 4-3-3. The front 3 will need to be damn good though if we're to score enough goals as that midfield doesn't have much of a goal threat in it.. probably Stach has the most in that 3, suppose you then have Tanaka..
