Phil Hay tweeted yesterday to keep us informed our our loan targets!

They’re still on with the four you know about - Costa, White, Harrison, Kent. Because they’d be loans, all dependent on wishes of other clubs and terms of deals. Buffon rumour is comedy, but you know that.
If you were told at the back end of last season that these four names would be our loanees during the 2019-20 season, and we'd be losing Jack Clarke; how happy would you be on a scale of 1-10?
Ben White has started to follow Kalvin Phillips on social media!
Is that a hint, that the 21yo is on his way to Elland Road?
According to Soccer pundit Noel Whelan, Spurs have made a fresh bid of 12m plus add ons for Jack Clarke.
Thoughts, if true?
Leeds head of medicine Rob Price has been speaking to LUTV about another strenuous summer for the players to once again reach maximum fitness levels for the forthcoming campaign.
“The programme we have put in place is very similar to last year’s to get them to the levels that they were able to achieve in the games,”
“It’s a really well coordinated plan that they go through over the summer programme but we have got to build them in slowly just to make sure that we don’t overload them in these first few days.”
“There’s lots of monitoring that goes on.
“You will see every day that the players will get monitored on how much they have slept, what the muscle soreness is, how they have perceived the session the day before is, what their rate of perceived exertion is and all this is and all that is taken into account to decide whether they can do more the next day.
“But pre-season is a time of overload as well and to get them to be better you actually have to put more into them.
“It’s no good being too light and too easy with them or else you don’t actually get the benefits.”
Thoughts?
Barnsley are poised to swoop for Leeds youngsters Mallik Wilks and Aapo Halme. The talented duo have been on the radar of the Tykes ever since they were promoted.
A Leeds insider was quoted as saying that Leeds would let the duo leave as long as they were able to capture their first choice targets.
