That will be part of the problem I think won't it? Player has acted very professionally throughout whereas he could have done a Rowe/Gnonto and thrown his toys out of the pram. It's not his fault at all that it's taken so long. |  |

I still think Blackburn are holding out for leeds. With Rutter going, Leeds won't quibble at meeting with ever bid blackburn want. I certainly don't think town would hold off the deal for the sake of 500k |  |

Szmodics Deal update 10000 on 13:38 - Aug 15 with 3778 views | Bellevue_Blue | I just don't understand this, how can there still be a negotiation over the total fee. They've been talking for weeks. If you were B'Burn you'd want to nip this in the bud ASAP? Surely some kind of hard deadline is the only way forward. |  | |  |

Think he wants to play Top Flight football so not sure he will go to Leeds anyway. Blackburn probably would prefer to keep him. |  |

This is the worry for me now Leeds could have the money. The thing is though how much of a move to Ipswich is motivated by his wife wanting to be nearer home, if so Leeds may not be the option he wants. Leeds have a real battle for promotion as Sheff U, Burnley, Sheff W all look better plus Luton and Middlesborough in the mix too. |  | |  |

I would love to know more detail on this! Although I suspect the answer is "it depends on the Club..." |  | |  |

….documentary, it shows the deals being done. The agents are massively involved, inevitably, and there’s a lot of BS that flies around. Basically the CEO/FD deal with their equivalents, agree a fee, then the agents whine about money and if it’s agreed the “legals” write up the contracts. |  |

There is a deadline place. It even has its own name. Deadline day 👍 |  |

Szmodics Deal update 10000 on 14:24 - Aug 15 with 2178 views | OldFart71 | Do you as a player sign for a Premier League Club or someone like Leeds who let's face it aren't a given for promotion this season. But then if clubs can't come to some agreement on price and another does then the player still has a choice. Do I chance my arm that they rather than Blackburn will get promotion. More money maybe, but no guarantee and another year older with even less chance of playing in the Prem. Not a good situation for anyone to be in and to be fair to the lad he's done the business on the pitch despite all the goings on. |  | |  |

Blackburn will know Leeds fans are effectively demanding Szmodics especially with all the sales. Leeds have some cash now, and therefore Blackburn will be hopeful Leeds offer £10m (or more) just to keep their fans happy. Whether SS will go to Leeds is another question but if Town don't match Leeds offer (and BB accept it) then SS options are only stay or move to Leeds |  | |  |
