This will be further enhanced by the Derby story which has broken.I follow Leeds and go to some games they won't be spending any money in January on a permanent transfer fee...... They have to wheel and deal like us and are restricted by FFP rules of the EFL
Feck morals.
If this was a reality, the flip side would be for them to honour their contracts.
The bottom line is that we’ve got a league to win.
Maybe it’s time for the Scottish media to stop their futile attempts at disrupting our camp.How many of our players - is that now - that Leeds have been interested in - ?
Maybe time for their scouts to broaden their horizons ?
As someone who's seen a fair bit of Leeds this season, Goldson is head and shoulders above any of their central defenders.
Still don't believe he'll be going anywhere this window.
We're getting big money for Morelos this summer.
Why are so many folk ok with selling other key players when that one sale will be plenty to balance the books? Goldson, Barisic, Kamara, Tavernier, Aribo are all under contract for a while. Every time we hear a club is interested, it's wait and sell in the summer.
We have the makings of a really good team under a very good manager, let's not rip too much of it up and have to rebuild again.
Says it all mate, I really don't know why anyone pays attention to anything those weirdos say.Football Insider.....
If he’s better than Ben White then he’s some player my friend.
Spot on..its only the big money that will turn their heads.You would think guys at the age of Tav, Goldson and Borna will want a move at some point if it is to one of Europe’s big leagues.
While they will be earning a right few bob at RFC, they could probably double their money and collect a belter of a signing on fee at a Premier League club or in Italy in Borna’s case. In their late 20’s, the window of opportunity will close in the next year or two.
They will want that last big move to set their pension up for life and we can’t compete with that in our league.
There is also a part of me that thinks it would be somewhat immoral to deny them the chance to make that kind of money.
It’s the sad reality of it and hopefully we’ll get our reward for giving them the opportunity to make themselves so marketable.
My scenario is this. We win the league. Yes!
But the club need to cash in some assets. For me that is
1. Alfie 2. Kamara 3. Goldson. 4.Tav (possibly). 5.Barisic
That gets us back on financial footing and we have to buy a striker to replace Alfie and left back for Borna.We have Edmundson to replace Goldson, Patterson for Tav and enough midfielders to cover Kamara.
Will be sad to see those boys go but I think the above is the reality.
I would definitely not be happy either but just my feeling about the reality. In all honesty if it get us stable financially and we put a halt to the titles for them I would take the risk of a partial rebuild. Even if it meant not winning the title the next year. But the big thing for me is to win this one. We cannot sell anyone who is vital to the current first team this window.You're saying it's reality mate, but other than a cameo against an awful team from Uzbekistan, we have literally no idea how Patterson will handle senior football. He could be a sensation or he could go the way of many young players that show initial promise (see McKay, Middleton, Hardie, Atakayi etc.) Edmundson for Goldson, again he's looked good in very very brief cameos but how will he hold up over even half a season?
You say we have more than enough cover in midfield to lose Kamara, considering that the middle three rotates between Jack Kamara Davis and sometimes Arfield and Aribo, selling Kamara would leave us one spare central midfield of quality for a system of 3. Way too many gamble's with what you're saying for me there, I agree we need to cash in and strike while the irons hot in one or two players, but that's more like a firesale that you've suggested.
I certainly wouldn't be happy going into CL qualifiers with totally untested players after losing ones that we know are the real deal.
There’s no chance we will sell half a championship winning team ... if that happens then Gerrard walks I’m afraidMy scenario is this. We win the league. Yes!

Our players seem to be attracting a lot of interest these days.
Connor Goldson Heads List of Targets
A new centre back is a priority for Leeds and Rangers' commanding Connor Goldson tops their list. He is also a target for fellow promotion chasers Fulham but Leeds are hoping for a deal either this window or in the summer.
The Elland Road side do have one of the best defences in the Championship this season, conceding only 23 goals in 27 games, but basically all of their defenders will be leaving at the end of the term. Ben White will return to parent club Brighton while veteran Gaetano Berardi is out of contract.
Football Insider claim Goldson is now a top target for Bielsa with Leeds looking to strengthen their limited options. Remarkably, the former Brighton man has played 90 games in total for Steven Gerrard's team since signing last summer, including 36 appearances this campaign.
However, they could face tough competition from Fulham if they want to get this deal over the line during this transfer window.
Just tell them all to do one
What do you reckon that brings us in? £60m+?My scenario is this. We win the league. Yes!

It's not the reality. We may sell one or two but the whole team will not be ripped up.My scenario is this. We win the league. Yes!

A right few quid! We need to be strong and not just sell cheap though.What do you reckon that brings us in? £60m+?
