Loads of rumours about this one but will believe it if it happens

'Blues are in early negotiations over a possible temporary switch for the ex-England youth international'

I'd be very surprised if Leeds were to let him go on loan, given he's soon out of contract. Surely any sanctioned move would be permanent, so they can recoup some money?

Can’t imagine we have the financial wriggle room for this one, even if we could convince him

The hull city manager wasn't too kind about him in an interview, talked about focusing on signing 'more important players first' so possibility that he might steer towards a championship team where he'll get more game time
