Could Leeds pull off the signings of the summer?

Leeds United could be set to shock the Championship with a potential move for Bristol City pair Joe Bryan and Aden Flint.

The club have so far been extremely active in this summers transfer market, picking up players in the positions that are needed and bolstering there squad.

The only two positions left that still need sufficient backup are left back and centre back respectively, this is where the Bristol City pair come in to play.

Both come off a very tough season as Bristol fought off the prospect of relegation and could be wanting more from their careers than a repeat this coming season.

It's understood that the club have made contact with Bristol for the park, having first been interested in club captain Aden Flint.

The move would surely be a heavy investment and statement of intent with both players commanding a fee of over £2.5million.

Could Leeds be set for a massive move for these two talented players?
Flint, a 6'3 no nonsense defender is seen as a perfect partner for Leeds' Pontus Jansson and the pair could be part of a defensive dynasty should they be out together.

Strong, stern and a leader on the pitch, the former Swindon man could be a brilliant capture for the club and at only 28-years old could be with Leeds for some time. He's also able to pitch in with a few goals having scored 28 in 170 appearances for Bristol.

Bryan on the other hand is a marauding left back with the ability to not only be a key defensive signing, but a potential support for Leeds' new attacking quartet.

The 23-year old is adapt at playing as a wingback in a 3-5-2 formation and is very capable at playing as a left midfielder should he be asked.

With Bryan's contract only having two years remaining, it remains to be seen whether Bristol would be forced into any sale, but never say never in this day and age.

The duo would link up with former Robins defender Luke Ayling and Pontus Jansson to create one of the strongest back lines in the league.

If Leeds make this move, the club will surely be a force to be reckoned with next season. Can the deal be done? Adam Pope says yes, Phil Hay says no. You decide!

Bristol City conceded 72 goals last season to Leeds 47 in all competitions. Something to think about.

Signing both players, would just about complete the Leeds squad and it would be strengthening two areas of the squad in one swoop, but Bristol City won't let two of their key players leave for a combined bargain buy fee.
The money received from the Taylor and Silvestri sales, will probably pay for Bryan, but not Flint as well.
If money is tight, then I'd sooner Leeds concentrate on signing Bryan to replace Taylor, than signing Flint just to sit on the bench.
Let's either stop wasting time on this double transfer or simply just get the 7, 8 or 9 million on the table, which will probably be needed to prise both players away from Bristol. I'd also be tempted to throw in Diagouraga as part of the deal, if they want him.

There is as much chance of Guisley putting 7 or 8 million pounds together for them as Leeds.
Your local pub is another option on putting that money together to buy them, who are also on identical odds with Leeds to pay for those two guys at that price.

Theres never been any hope that Leeds would pay Flints sort of money.

There is now.

Van Dijk is training in his own at Southamotin after saying he wants to move to a new club.
They've always wanted Pontus as his rrokacement if he goes and you will find Pontus will ge if the chance ui there.

Rawson will be mistaken. The contact will be for a cut price offer for the left back only.

If you read the story properly there is nothing based on facts. If and could are two words that stand out when reading this article.

City fan view, really feared this deal might have happened a couple of week short ago but not now. Not going to happen as too late to find replacements. We don't need the money and with Tomlin gone would have really hurt our squad losing these two as well.
