“Liability and a waste of money”: These Leeds fans laugh off reports regarding £15m ace

|

I think this is a pretty equivocal way of saying that he’s not going to be making the move to Elland Road.

As Phil Hay pointed out in one of his recent articles for The Athletic, it looks as if Leeds United are going to be priced out of the market when it comes to striker Dwight Gayle. With Newcastle United reportedly asking as much as £15m for the 29-year-old and with the club’s finances not exactly in the best of positions, Leeds will have to look somewhere else if they are to solve their problems up front.

You’d think that with a record as good as his in this division that Leeds United fans would be rather annoyed that he’s unlikely to make the move to Elland Road, but it would seem as if they aren’t really all that bothered after all. When the news came out about the fee, they took to social media to more or less say that they’d rather explore other options.

Is £15m too much for Gayle?

Yes

No

Hopefully all this won’t come back to bite them later in the season.
