For all of you saying radz out, you're foolish. The man has spent over 25 million on this club in the last 12 months, why would he walk away? He has tried to sign on the cheap, and will probably admit that. Think its clear the man has bags of money, and will probably throw another 10-15 million at it again this summer. i'd rather 3 top end quality players who will carry us up, than 5/6 to the standard of grot and ekuban. i feel as though we missed a trick with joe ledley, glen whelan, all these journeymen who can boss a midfield, probably something forshaw will become but right now we need an old head. there are 3 players that i think will do this team enough to get out of this league. danny ward from liverpool, solid goalkeeper. barts, hero. and anthony pilkington, he's done it in this league, and is still of the age where he can boss it both out wide and in the middle, for 2 maybe 3 years. To me, this team sounds ready to go up: ward, ayling, jansson, barts, bera, dallas, forshaw, pilkington, hernandez, saiz, lasogga.

Finally, someone talking sense! Well said Samo. I still very much believe in Radz too. For the record, I'm not a fan of Lasogga. My personal opinion is that he's no better than GrotBags. He's not set the world on fire and has hardly been prolific. For me, he's simply not good enough so wouldn't make my list. Obviously other people will disagree with that, but that's the whole point of these forums :-) Have a nice Monday everyone.

southern lasogga will do, were proving this year that we can score goals from elsewhere, saiz hernandez and pilkington could all chip in with 5/10 a season. lasogga isn't a world beater no, and he's not got the credentials of a player like wood or nugent who is a sniffer but is still mobile. chris wood money is 3 5million installments (a good thing if you look at it in a way of, its another 5 million to spend next year) taylor money was 6 million, cook money was spent on loans like hernandez, barts, grimes, jansson, the signings of green and ayling, okane roofe, that's where cook money went. so to me, we had 11 million from player sales this year, arguably when you look at players like doukara and bridcutt and big dave whove left, and us loaning out antonsson, coyle, murphy, wilks at the start of the season, you could say there's probably around 15 million to play with. this season the average transfer fund was 7.2 million in the champ, so let's suppose leeds and radz put in 8, 23 million to play with. forshaw 4.5, saiz 3.2, alioski 3, de bock 1.5, jansson 3.5, wiedwald 500k, cibicki 1.2, grot 700k, ekuban 500k, bouy free, anita free, lasogga loan, hernandez new contract, dallas new contract, okane new contract, ayling new contract ideguchi 500k, all the u23's boys. I make that a transfer total of 19.1 million, from a 23 million budget, leaving just less than 4, with ER being bought back for 17, that suggests to me radz is at least 15 million out of pocket. Its sad, but that the probable truth of this, it shows how much we've wasted, but then again, when you look at the attained value of players like jansson, ayling, alioski, roofe, saiz, forshaw, vieira, which are all our own players, we haven't done too bad with dealings. the man will re-invest, he means business, problem he's had this year is that he's had to focus initially on picking the club up again. i think he's done and is doing a tremendous job, and we should be grateful for all he's investing. he's got this money for a reason, so there's some solidity in his business record, he has set up the links with cultural which may not be of significant benefit but when the club really starts to be come succesful and u23's come through this is a chance for them to get first team football elsewhere. some of us leeds fans can be very naive and don't look atthe bigger picture. i'm the same as you all, i want wins every saturday. but no team can do that in this league there's too mcuh competition. long way to go before we get back to where we belong, but until he makes ahuge blunder, i'm behind radz, not so much orta, but on the whole the two of them and kinnear aren't doing such a bad job. The players are the ones whove let leeds down this year, team selection, injuries and suspensions, poor guidance in truth.

How can Pilkington chip in samo? He doesn't and probably never will play for us

youll see 1 if not 2 attacking players come in over the summer, whoever that may be, if he's worth his money, will score. that's all i meant, but my preferred choice right now would be pilkington, boot fits imo
