OPINION
Leeds fans are still no clearer as to who they’re signing this month, but a report from the Inside Elland Road podcast might have given them a better idea of who isn’t going to come in January.
According to Phil Hay, senior reporter from the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds were offered Tottenham’s now third-choice keeper, Michel Vorm, who is reportedly on £62,000-a-week.
However, while he din’t say explicitly what Leeds’ reaction was, he made it clear that Leeds have got their sights set on another target, Karl Darlow from Newcastle.
Nothing’s ever that simple when it comes to Leeds though. Newcastle want £4million for Darlow and Leeds want to loan him, which means fallback options might come into play.
There are plenty of Leeds fans who would love to see the hugely experienced Vorm come to Elland Road, although his £62k-a-week wages could be an issue.
One Leeds fan said he drive down to Tottenham to pick the player up himself, while another said that he’s always wanted Vorm at Elland Road.
Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans:
If we have then why haven't we snapped their hands off

I’m not sure I believe it but if it is true wages would be a massive block

I was just thinking that he doesn't seem to get a game or even make the bench plus his contract is up in the summer, convenient?
