On the latest episode of Don't Go To Bed Just Yet, Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix ponders whether Leeds should pay more than £12m for Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff.
"I feel like Leeds this summer so far have proven that they're not willing to be pushed on bids," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "They've bid for a few people and then when they've been outbid they've not worried too much. They haven't got into a bidding war so far.
"Whether or not there becomes a point where you have to start getting out of your comfort zone, I don't know. But I think they have made assessments on how much they want people, how much they're willing to pay and what the market value is and at the moment, they're not going beyond that.
"They did have, I believe, three bids for Longstaff. The maximum I think was £10m plus two million for bonuses, which seems very cheap for a guy with 100-plus Premier League appearances.
"It gets into Jack Harrison territory I guess - a really steady Premier League player which is probably what you need but you don't want to blow your budget."
