Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has once again criticized Leeds United for their transfer activity, singling out Jayden Bogle in his remarks. The frustration of Leeds fans waiting for new signings has been evident this summer as the club has been patient in their approach.

After a long wait for new arrivals and a drawn-out negotiation for Bogle’s transfer, Wilder expressed his displeasure with Leeds’ tactics. He accused them of trying to unsettle the player rather than negotiating a fair price upfront.

Despite eventually agreeing to a £5 million deal for Bogle, Wilder felt Leeds’ initial low bids were disrespectful to Sheffield United and the player. He emphasized the importance of professionalism in football and lamented the need for mind games in transfers.

Wilder’s comments come on the heels of a dispute over loan terms for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with the manager once again targeting Leeds indirectly. However, Leeds defended their actions, stating that Bogle’s desire to leave was not solely their responsibility.

Ultimately, Wilder’s criticisms of Leeds’ transfer tactics seem to stem from the challenges of managing unsettled players and negotiating fair deals. The ongoing tension between the two clubs highlights the complexities of the transfer market and the competitive nature of English football.
