James Justin (signed for Leeds, official. 10m.)

[ThorpeAstleyFox]

We should cash in as he is in the final year of hus contract and has no book value. Losing him does weaken our starting 11, however, Thomas is only just below his standard.

not in the squad today, has he picked up a knock or is there something to these rumours?

Marti on BBC RL said he had a muscle injury, similar to Ricardo so doesn’t sound serious.

Sounds like he might on his way to the Damned United - £6m.

Not sure I believe him, too much of a coincidence that journos have reported interest and then he’s got a “knock”.

 

Makes even more sense with the news of VK’s more serious injury. I’m assuming JJ now goes and VK stays.

This sounds a bit like Hammond ( ankle).

I could see JJ and Wilf heading out this week with Brownhill and Kone coming in personally. Both great professionals but would be refreshing to see the back of the hefty contracts. 
 

The accounts should look so much healthier this season.

Likely to be Mads, JJ, wilf and  BCR out with brownhill and Kone in would be my guess. Maybe some young european GK to battle the Berg for no.2 spot

Why do people think Brownhill is going to come here?

 

He will have much better offers on the table

We will be the ones stupid enough to offer him the longest contract aka Bobby Reid

Don’t think our offer would be in the media if he did, was definitely an agent leak to try to prompt another team to offer more than the current best offer

Maybe. Heard he's had MLS offers of up to £100k week, so guess the ball firmly in his court

Wouldn't be surprised if we sign no one! All Rudkin cares about is lining his pockets!

I hate Rudkin as much as the next guy, but I don’t think he’s getting a percentage cut of sales  

[Lambert09]

Really hope we don’t do the obvious and sell JJ and then buy target

More likely to sell Justin and get Max Lowe in 

[FrankieADZ]

tbf who says we'd bring someone else in to replace JJ if he goes

 

we've got Aluko etc, theyve shown they are more than capable, rather give them a chance than spend X amount on bringing someone else in

[Foxes96]

This one seems to have gone quiet after being left out of the squad on Sunday

Hoping we’ve snuck him on the plane with Wilf and Besiktas haven’t read the small print

Be great to get him gone and even better for £5-6m. 
Good Championship player. But dreadful in the prem since his injury.

Isn't that an argument to keep him this season and sell next summer?

 

I'm all for trimming the squad and agree JJ looked a shadow of himself at times more recently, but I also want our trimmed squad to still be the best it could be and we've an unknown and Thomas who's even more hot and cold as alternatives. 

 

We could buy someone else, but sometimes it's better the devil you know, and like you said he'll do a job in this league.

No, cos he's out of contract next summer.
