Leeds linked with Tomlin, Mariappa. But wait, there’s a twist.

With Byram about to exit the building the least that we wanted was to see Cook, Taylor and Mowatt stay. However it seems Bournemouth are very interested in signing Lewis Cook, their offer would be cash + a player who appears to be Lee Tomlin. Now, Lee Tomlin signed outright would probably be a good signing, but when Cook goes the other way all of that goes out of the window. I know Cook isn’t going to be here forever because we’re not going up any-time soon and he’s destined for big things, but I’d like to at least think he could stay till the end of the season. It’s been rumoured that Cook doesn’t want to go to Bournemouth but he may not have too much of a choice. I really wouldn’t take any amount of money for Cook in January, he’s a joy to watch and I want to see as much of him as I can before he has to leave.




In other news Leeds have been linked with Adrian Mariappa, a centre-back from Crystal Palace, I genuinely think he would be a good signing, some experience in the back four wouldn’t go a miss with Bamba seemingly losing the plot. He played most of his career at Watford and was always solid, it’d be an improvement on Bellusci that’s for sure. Leeds have also today been linked with Italian right-back Fabrizio Cacciatore who is currently on loan at Cheivo from Sampdoria. It’s a strange one really, I know we’ve lost Byram but he’s been playing right-wing and I don’t think right-back is an area of need considering we have Berardi, Coyle and even Wootton. Considering he’s 29 and has played his whole career in Italy, I doubt he’d want to come here really. Casper Sloth is reportedly on his way to Brondby in Denmark, the same club as Rodolph Austin. That would be a good move for Sloth, I hope he can get his career back on track as I think he’s a much better player than we’ve seen here.

    too good a deal to miss,
    Tomlin will suit us better, created loads for Middlesborough last season and scored a few. Good link up man.
