Am I missing something here? I can't see how missing out on a fee for him would mean us having to sell both Fatawu and Bilal .

It was hypothetical and also the reported 7m / 9m fee would be a huge gain for our PSR position. And of course could make the difference between needing to sell those other players or being able to hang onto them.

Cliché as it is, 2 complete different halves. First half we were passive, let them come at us and cause problems. 

 

Second half we were so much more alive. Hassling, pressing, actually attacking.

Fair enough. Hopefully it's just a knock and he can recover in a few days. Whether we sell or keep him, I'm not fussed either way. Bilal will probably be sold anyway. Fatawu is crucial to this team and we should resist any offers for him regardless.

Maybe Leeds looked into his injury to make a judgement on the severity, saw his heavy touch which led to it, and thought better of it.

Still think this gets done.

They had Garner as left back last night and also need a right back.  They are desperate.  Whether desperate enough remains to be seen

[ronnup]

Hes okay cover on both sides. Decent back up option. 

[foxgas]

I think he is one of the few who put a hundred percent effort in nowadays, unfortunately he's not very good.

[cropstonfox]

He's terrible and one of our better defenders.

[LestaLad]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance.. 

[FoxinNotts]

JJ can only play for teams beginning with the letter 'L'

He has that written in his contract

They have been during the window!

[Lambert09]

The injury he got, wasn’t like a muscle strain it’s odd, surely it’s either a dead leg and he’s fine or something far more serious that we’d know about already? 

[VLC86]

Any news on his injury?

Watch him suddenly need an operation after the Leeds transfer haha

[Levi Port]

Back fit, great, sell him 

[KFS]

Another potential for pure profit. Hope he’s next after McAteer and BEK.

[Blue-fox]

Anything north of 5M and I’ll take it for him

[5waller5]

Whilst I can understand the clamour to sell and refresh the squad, I’m not sure I see the benefit in getting rid of JJ.

 

His attitude and loyalty are never in question, he’s still got 5+ years ahead of him, he can play either side, whilst he’s not the greatest player I just can’t see us replacing him with a £5m better option.

 

The fee needs to be £8-9m to make this trade worthwhile
