Some Leeds related items today

Aston Villa, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday are among the clubs who now face sanctions for breaches of financial regulations after Birmingham City were slapped with a nine-point deduction.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is considering a move for Uruguayan midfielder Nahitan Nandez.

Aston Villa have made Barnsley centre-back Liam Lindsay a priority signing - Leeds and Celtic also want the £5m man.

What a shame if they all got a 9 points deduction :lol: :lol:

Never heard of him so can’t comment

Why would you go to the Villians if Leeds or Celtic came knocking

Saw Liam Lindsay playing for Barnsley on TV today. He looked decent.

EFL criteria for imposing point deductions:

1) Can the team mathematically catch Leeds Utd? If answer is no impose points deduction now. If answer is yes wait until it is impossible and then impose ban.

Regarding Uruguayan midfielder Nahitan Nandez :
From 2013-2017 he was a member of Uruguayan giant Penarol teams; and since the beginning of the 2017 -2018 season he has been member of Argentine giant Boca Juniors. He was an important member of the Uruguayan 2018 World Cup team. He is a defensive midfielder. He is 23 years old, 1.72 meters high, and primarily right footed. He is a defensive midfielder, right midfielder and center midfielder.
I haven’t had Argentine football so haven’t been able to see the last 5 matches of Boca and can only give the following stats on Nahitan Nandez during the 2018-2019 season: 11 appearances, 2 goals, 1 assist, and 6 Yellow cards in 821 minutes played.
I don’t see 6 yellow cards in 11 appearances as a problem because I’ve seen enough of Argentine football over the last 10 years to know that it is very arbitray what is yellow card offense.

He's not worth paying 15 million or 10 million.

The money quoted for him is to trigger a release deal. I doubt we'd be looking to pay that. Don't forget that Hadi Sacko had something ridiculous like a £40m release fee in his contract.

Standard practise with a lot of clubs, especially Portugese and Spanish. They insert huge release fees just in case the player becomes really good but the majority of the time the players will never match up to the release clause and will simply be sold for much less.
