Leeds fans discuss swapping Roofe or Saiz for Derby's Vydra

Leeds United are being linked with a cash-plus-player move for the Derby County striker.

Leeds United are being linked with a move for Derby County striker Matej Vydra.

The Sun on Sunday reports (June 10th, page 60) Vydra is a ‘staggering £10 million target’ for the Yorkshire club, whose left-back Tom Pearce could be used as a makeweight in any deal.

Pearce, who helped England’s Under-21s to Toulon Tournament success on Saturday, signed a new four-year deal at Leeds two days earlier.

And the idea of sending him to Derby is one that does not sit well with many Whites fans – although that does not mean they are completely averse to a swap deal.

This is what the Elland Road faithful are saying on Twitter…

Get them both! Use Roofe as part of a deal for Vydra and Abel Hernandez on a free, just be the wages but worth a gamble two quality strikers

With alioski, edmondson, Roberts, jack Clarke as back ups…got a feeling if we do get vydra then roofe might be part of the deal to knock down the price we pay, derby need to shift wages and can’t imagine roofe is on loads #lufc

As much as I think roofe would be good to keep hold of, I really think a cash deal + roofe for Vydra is the fairest deal for both clubs if the wage bill needs to be cut. How much cash involved is the part that will take some negotiating. Thoughts? #lufc #dcfc

Totally agree … never rated him as a team player .. great individual but too greedy n selfish …. hence since derby sold ince n Hughes they have played much better football

Dawned on me that Vydra might be being signed as a 10. Can’t imagine bielsa watching Saiz and enjoying what he sees. A skilful player who can’t pass shoot or tackle. Maybe he can make him better tho. Who knows

Forward pair Kemar Roofe and Samu Saiz were respectively involved in 18 and 16 of Leeds’ goals last season, although it would appear the jury remains out on both players.

Vydra’s tally of 26 for Derby was only eight shy of that of Roofe and Saiz combined.

Should Leeds offer Roofe or Saiz to Derby to get Vydra?
