Orta supposedly has been active for the last few weeks. Hopefully that is in response to a cold hard decision to quality recruit and not as a knee jerk reaction to our "crisis". I am one who says that maybe? we do not need new faces, at the moment. If any are recruited then they must be obvious stand out characters ready to perform immediately with a pedigree of the highest order. It may be better tho to wait until the summer and just see what division we are buying for. Also I hope that the Eleven Sports problem is sorted and any financial constraints have eased and the budget will be larger than it is now.

A few key questions that could determine how important replacements are?

Brown, when can he be of use for us and do Chelsea have the right to recall him as well? Might not be too happy with us after Blackman and Baker!

Bamford, ditto what expectations can we have about his contribution?

Hernandez, playing without him for a long period is not something I really want to think about!

That’s before actual bums on seats for, Baker, Blackman and Saiz.

Even Bielsa admits we need some, so time for action!

I'm not of the opinion that ElevenSports has anything to do with what happens at the football club, he is supposedly a shrewd businessman after all. Aside from that, I agree with your thinking that we don't need any new signings, goalkeeper of course but that would do for me, anyone else will be a bonus.

If course we need a couple of signings, you can’t lose a player of saiz quality, whether he was starting or making an impact from the bench, and what are going to do if anything happens to Roofe? . Bamford seems to be made of jelly and Roberts isn’t ready yet, lloriente from spurs for 6 months would be perfect for us, add some experience and would def score goals in this league.

Regarding signings. It's now becoming a numbers game. The squad is good enough and now well versed in Bills a ball. but, alas, we are a little too thin on the ground.
Regarding Eleven Sports. AR will have this ring fenced and shouldn't affect Leeds at all.

We am I reading that we are too thin on the ground now?
We were too thin on the ground last August!
Now it's a scramble to plug holes and I hope the guys who said new players would unsettle the team feel foolish.
Ok Orta, earn your bankroll!

Don’t feel foolish at all, but at the time, Saiz leaving wasn’t an option, and the additional injuries weren’t expected, and forget Baker leaving! I still think we will add, but as I said before, maximum 3, because Bielsa runs a very tight ship, and WILL NOT want to disrupt the squad unity. He spent many, many hours, and changed many things to create and embed the unity we are seeing, and shipping someone in does not suit that approach, unless it’s a massive improvement on what we have. Bit soon to be bandying the “foolish” word around, don’t you think!?
