Tete can’t technically be done until his contract ends anyway, he’s not been released from Fulham and we can’t formally announce him until he’s out of contract there.
Sounds all but done.
.....................Pickford
Tete...Tarkowski...Branthwaite...Mykolenko
When all are fit, thats a defence which is going to be very hard to break down.
Not heard that? Only Leeds links have been to Diarra not Atangana i thought.
Atangana on paper is a must sign for a low fee. Gana stays, he can learn from and push him for a place. Gana leaves then over the season we have a replacement.
Just...
Valentin Atangana would be a VERY astute signing. I hope whoever got Tete right has this one correct as well.
Could probably get him for £10mil ish as Reims have been relegated. Very high potential.
I think we’re clearly in the market for a new Gana either way, it probably becomes more pressing if the existing one actually leaves.
There are a couple of interesting free agents we are probably having a look at. One who Fulham were interested...
So are we taking “in talks with” as meaning “going to” now? And do we apply this theory to players that are in talks with us too, you know for fairness?
….thought Tete was the best player on the park when we played them earlier this season.
Quite content he has his own thread when the deal looks done, just as it should be :dance:
Might not be mate just that’s the way it came across. He looks very similar to Gana stylistically but maybe the plan is to hopefully hold onto Gana for another year so funds can be spent elsewhere.
Trying to guess how much we can spend this...
