Cannon close to joining Leicester apparently 😞

Certainly deserves it. Should get some more game time but I’m just hoping he doesn’t come back injured

There was a lot of belief that we still needed to sign another striker before Sargent’s injury, as if you want to play two upfront you really need four strikers in the squad. Although Cannon impressed on loan at PNE I would prefer to sign him on loan with an option to buy, as the last thing we want is for him to fail for us (yes he’s proven in this league, but there’s no guarantee he will fit into Wagner’s style of play)

Would prefer to sign him on loan with an option to buy if we get promoted

The league is far more important than the cup, and I’d prefer us to get knocked out tonight. Long Fisher Omobamidele Warner McCallum Gibbs Forshaw Springett Nunez Placheta Dickson-Peters Although I haven’t heard of him for ages, on the club website it says Dickson-Peters is still with us. I’d start him ahead of Idah, as the last thing we want is for Idah to get injured as well. Leeds might get some key players injured, as Farke takes the cup seriously

Two players with huge PL experience, and not injury prone. Great signings, and Idah said in the post-match interview that Barnes is a massive help for him

Yes - it’s always important in case of injuries. Sargent’s injury is thought to be quite serious, and if we were mainly relying on him it could be a massive blow for us to the season

Idah!

Leeds just scored. Binners losing 4-2

Another player with good PL experience. The only issue is his injury record, but I think signing him on a one year deal with the option of extension is the ideal contract for a player of his kind

If Leeds make a bid for Sargent just ask for £40m + £5m in add ons and 50% sell on clause (not based on profit, just however much they get for him). If West Ham make a bid for Sara just ask for £50m + £10m add ons and 50% sell on (again, not based on profit) That should keep their hands off them and if we do lose them we should be able to afford a decent replacement

Can’t see it happening. There’s a lot of belief that we need to sign another striker as it is, and so I can’t see us selling our first choice after the season has already started. It’s been stated that we have no need to sell, and we’ve already got the likes of Krul, Aarons, Byram, Rashica, Cantwell, Dowell, Hugill and Pukki off the wage bill, in addition to also getting some revenue for Aarons and Rashica

To be honest I think he’s brilliant considering he’s come from a non-league club and still only 19. You can’t expect too much from him yet, as before he made his debut for us he’d only played non-league football, and doesn’t even have masses of experience at that level

Contract expires summer 2026. Has the option of extension though, so effectively 2027

Gunn, Rowe, and Sargent all need to be offered new contracts, or otherwise we will be left with no option but to sell them next summer. I’m not entirely convinced they would accept 5 year + 1 contracts but as others have said, the longer the better

I don’t care about the cup one bit and treat it in the same way Lambert did, an ugly distraction. We know we’re not going to win it and so I prefer us out of it ASAP, so we can concentrate on the league. As a result of this I would name an all new starting XI. A good cup run doesn’t help your performance in the league, Leeds proved that in our League One season and I believe I’ve also read that last time we won it we got relegated from the old First Division? A good cup run = More games = More chances for injuries/fatigue/suspensions

My mistake. Thought both him and McCracken were, but according to the club website it’s just McCracken. Must have got him mixed up with Berry and Mair, who are also out on loan

Was a great signing when he arrived, just like Pukki. If we manage to sell him this summer that would be even better, as he’s on quite high wages, past his best and seems to make a lot of mistakes now. Selling him would leave us with no third choice GK though, as with Barden and McCracken out on loan we would only have Reyes left as backup to Gunn, so we will either have to make a new signing or bring someone up from the youth academy

He’s much better attacking than defending, hence why he was great in his loan spell with us, and poor in the PL and under Smith’s reign as manager. Now Wagner’s in charge we may see a repeat of his performance under Farke

Can’t see us selling Sara after just one year. I know he’s looking too good for this level but he seems perfectly happy here and he’s far too valuable to us. He also is contracted until 2026 with the option of extension, and the club has stated there is no need to sell this summer.

Overall I think it was a decent result for an away fixture against one of the promotion favourites, and so I’m happy with a draw. Should have won though. At least we’ve got what may be one of our biggest fixtures this season out the way already, and have managed to get something out of it. Don’t get wound up by the fact our rivals are top of the league - there’s still another 44 games to go

Would happily take a draw but I think it will be 3-1 Southampton. We mustn’t get wound up about it but we know the Saints along with Leeds and Leicester are going to be the firm favourites for promotion this season, and that they’re going to be difficult fixtures. Let’s just be glad our first away fixture is against them so we can get one of them out of the way early on

Very fortunate to go through. Idiotic behaviour by James as she won’t feature again in the tournament now

Unless he signs a new contract I can only see him warming the bench this month, if that. We all know the club intends to sell him this summer, so they will want to concentrate on playing without him in the team - it's the whole reason why he didn't participate in pre-season (likewise with Rashica)
