00:00There's part of you that wonders, were they ever really going to do much incoming business before the end of June anyway with P&S and everything and I don't like the idea of incoming business being held up by the need to sell first.
00:16If you're accepting that Somerville is going, I'd be quite keen to see them get that business done and dusted and out of the way so that you know what you're working with and you know what you need to go and get.
00:28We know that they're looking at wingers and they're going to have to look at wingers because they've lost one. Jadon Anthony's gone back. Don't imagine he'll come back to Leeds next season.
00:42I would be incredibly surprised if that was the case because he wants to play football and Daniel Farke just didn't really play him. It wasn't the happiest of seasons for him.
00:50We expect Somerville to go. We know that Brighton are amongst the suitors for him. We also have a suspicion that Willy Nyonto might go too.
00:59So they are going to need wingers and over the last week I've been wondering about Georginio Routier at 10 and Aronson as well and whether we'd maybe see one of them playing on the right, maybe Routier and maybe Leeds getting a 10.
01:18I would definitely be in favour of them buying a 10 or signing a 10, not necessarily buying. You could maybe go and get Callum O'Hare and play him at 10 and play Georgie on the right, maybe play Dan James on the left. Do you think that would work?
01:32I'm not sold on O'Hare personally. I just don't see him being a Premier League player and if Leeds ultimately want Aspirations to be a Premier League club then what they're going to have to do this summer is if they do sign a free agent like O'Hare who will have plenty of offers, they will have to commit a sizeable amount to persuade him to come because he will have very, very good offers from elsewhere.
01:56They will have to give him a long contract because again he's not going to accept three years when somewhere else is going to give him five. If he's not going to be a really effective player in the Premier League then why are you burdening yourself with an asset that you're going to commit millions of pounds to in a league where he's realistically not going to play and you're going to need to replace him after a season?
