Leeds United have missed out on the signing of Slovenia international midfielder Jasmin Kurtic. The 25-year-old has opted to stay in Serie A, switching from Sassuolo to Fiorentina. He told Ekipa 24: Leeds United really wanted me but I couldn’t say no to Fiorentina. Leeds, really... Beat me to it @Sal ! Who's Bagadur? Edit: he's an 18 year old croatian defender.

TRANSFER WINDOW SUMMARY INS: Tatasuranu (free) Cuadrado (outright, €15m) Beleck (part of Cuadrado deal) Basanta (€2-3m) Octavio (loan w/ option) Fossatti (co-ownership resolved) Brillante (€1.2m?) Marin (loan w/ option) Kurtic (loan w/option, €5m) Bagadur (who the hell knows) Richards (loan) Lazzari, Babacar, Bernardeschi, El Hamdaoui & Alonso returned from loan.

If i'm right the Qatar and Russia markets are open longer. Missed Badelj off the list, €4.4m was quoted.
Transfermrkt has you guys at 64m euros spent, and 58m euros sold. That'd put you at -6m euros totalish.

Mutu's getting a fitness tryout within the next 1-2 weeks and montella will decide if he'll get signed as a reserve striker
Neto decided he's not going to renew with us, will leave in the summer. Pasqual says he'll consider offers from clubs
Diamanti very close to signing for Fiorentina: the latest updates http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calc...to-signing-for-fiorentina-the-latest-updates/ Bologna agree terms with Fiorentina over Ilicic - report (via @DiMarzio) --> http://gianlucadimarzio.com/?p=250022 iorentina, between Neto and Roma’s situation with Bertolacci. Rosati to substitute Neto http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/fiorentina-between-neto-and-romas-situation-with-bertolacci-rosati-to-substitute-neto/…
Diamanti - at least our penalties will be sorted, and very dangerous free kicks. Has Aquilani signed or is he leaving? Illicic - Serie B ... good luck kid. Neto - sell him now.
At this point, I don't have much hope in us reaching even a Europa position (even though we're not far off). Aquaman seems reluctant to sign a new contract Pasqual is not being used enough by Montella, will likely be gone in the summer Neto is an asshole, he repays us by leaving on a free transfer Gomez has become our worst use of money in quite some time Rossi still out until march Cuadrado being hit or miss in his games Richards, Marin, Illicic, have all been essentially useless. Finally, Montella with his subpar tactics this season, compared to previous seasons. I say there needs to be some rebuilding done this summer and letting go of players who can't perform up to the standards to what our project is aiming for.
I agree - what a terrible season. I don't think Europa is a possibility with how we have been playing. Marin is being returned to Chelsea this month, Ilicic has been sold to Bologna for half of what we paid for him (3M), and Richards has been crap. I expect Aqua, Pasqual, Neto (already said he is leaving), Cuadrado, and Richards (who we have an option to buy) to leave by summer. Kurtic, Joaquin, Basanta (another disappointment) and others who are out on loan (Iakovenko, El Hamdaoui, Roncaglia, Rebic, Vecino, Wolski) will probably need leave this summer as well. We are tight on money and have bought Diamanti with the Ilicic money - I am fine with this even though he is a bit older. Another storyline is that our director Macia is being rumored for the Barcelona job
Looking back, that 18m we bought Gomez for could've bought so many quality players. At least this summer, if we sell Cuadrado, we'll get enough money to buy some talent. Don't see how anyone is going to want to take Gomez with his poor form so, a proven quality striker. A winger to replace Cuadrado, a defensive mid (pizzaro is getting too old), a good defender to assist Gonzalo and Savic and finally a keeper.
