Leeds United Chat • Re: 2019/20 Transfer Rumours & Discussion Thread

I thought Bielsa's mantra was get them in early and induct his way, as a squad (if Roofe goes) we are far too thin to post a real promotion challenge, we will have to rely too heavily on the kids.

The trouble there though is that before we buy we have to sell so if we had no serious offers for Roofe until now then you can't sell him early to bring a new face in.

What it does seem to show is that maybe we over estimate how good our players are. First there seemed no real interest in PJ from the premiership or even leading championship clubs (profile wise) and now it would appear that there hasn't been much interest in Roofe if Anderlecht is the best offer on the table for him as without any disrespect to Anderlecht I am sure Roofe would have been expecting offers from at least a couple of premiership clubs.
