Who`s a happy bunny today then

I’ve been warned by OB, that it’s not done and dusted yet, but, I’ll admit I’m getting a bit excited.

As soon as i read that about Trafford i thought exactly the same. We don't have a decent back up keeper, do we ?

Cairns: he is better than nobody!

We'd have got rid of two international keepers & Meslier

[1964white]

Cairns: he is better than nobody!

Surely not, he was fourth in line last season.

He's at Leeds for home grown purposes & coaching duties I assume.

Doesn't make him any worse/better than Meslier at #3 last year! As I said: better than nobody! Who do you have in mind? We buy right? Who is going to come as a #2 GK? Everyone knows we are desperate. I tell Perri he's #2 and he's contracted to this club and is going nowhere...

As a defender I'd have rather played in front of Cairns than Meslier. Cairns likely steadier and do the basics right.

Pope from Newcastle?

[Barlow Boy]

Pope from Newcastle?

Blimey, that would be some combo, Trafford and Pope.

Can’t see it happening myself.

[Lufc76Cor]

Let's just get Trafford over the line first and then we can worry about the back up

Thank you

So where we at?

Trafford looking likely, but still some positions to fill. If Trafford does arrive, I would also love to see the following but can't see us doing all this (not in order of priority):

GK #2
Backup LB
Brandt / #10
Striker
Charles / Box-to-box.

That might be Leinou

That might be Leinou

Deffo not getting a #10 AND Charles: I doubt we are interested in Charles now. If we get Trafford + Brandt, we are not getting a #9. LB cover: who knows?

I believe we are getting Trafford + Brandt (or similar). Maybe a couple of freebies for other cover...

[Aussieleeds]

Surely just doubling Darlow’s salary for 2 years would have been cheaper than the cost of buying a number 2 keeper and paying his salary? And we wouldn’t be in a situation where every club now knows we are desperate so will charge a premium.

60k plus for a back up goalkeeper? Stach is only on 50k

[whiteinfrance]

Paixao now would be perfect!

[Aussieleeds]

Much better to have him leave, pay out £5million for a new number 2 plus wages? Pope is apparently on £60k at Newcastle. Make it make sense.
