Im glad its Rodon not Skipp going. If Gray is getting time at RB too, we possibly need to keep a 7th midfielder around for a year.
Skipp we can't replace in the euro squad. Unless we bring in madueke or edwards. Skipp can also cover rb.

Superb awareness of who is near him . He's been coached well to control it safe-side or into space away from the press with his first touch. Very good.Mute the video. It's clips from the Chelsea game which many of you will have seen before, but this highlights how he's years ahead of where a 18 year old player normally is (17 in the video, playing against Chelsea's globetrotters).
This lad's not normal, we could have a hallmark signing here.
I think a lot of it is naturalSuperb awareness on who is near him . He's been coached well to control it safe-side or into space away from the press with his first touch. Very good.
No doubt a fair amount is natural ability. There's definitely a bit of coaching in there though too . I would compare it to Zidane's style of control, very similar imho.I think a lot of it is natural
He has a brain that clearly is focussed on space and movement
this new world of having to balance the books is making young British player prices plummet. He would have cost £50m a few years ago at this age, just because he was English and, well, English.
10m for Rodon I would guess, £35m seemed to be the price quoted when he was linked with Brentford, but now Leeds get a player they want and some cash, everyone's a winner.It's 25m plus Rodon. Depends how high or low you value him.

That seems a really good deal.It's 25m plus Rodon. Depends how high or low you value him.
I’ve heard from at least two good authorities that we wanted Wharton but in the summer. We waited and palace didn’tMaybe this is why we didn't go in on Wharton

I just fact checked myself and I wonder if I may be wrong - is this going to be a british transfer record for a teenager?
Can't get them all.I’ve heard from at least two good authorities that we wanted Wharton but in the summer. We waited and palace didn’t
I think it's 25m and could go to 30m with Rodon going the other way.
I'm looking forward to seeing Moore, Bergvall and Grey in pre season.
