Radz says he's had a few takeover offers, for more than double the amount he's paid in and has turned them down, he thinks we can be "one of the top 8 brands in the PL" all well and good but, I have 8 words to say, we are not a brand, WE ARE LEEDS :)

Unfortunately al that’s the way of the football world we live in. We all want to be as successful as possible and the main way of doing so these days is to build and promote a global and corporate Leeds United brand.

I know, but with our brilliantly old-fashioned fans, our old stadium and everything can't we wish for it a bit different, #NostalgicForTheGoodOldDays.

if he gets us to top 8 of PL he can call us what he wants! it is one thing giving it the talk but needs to invest, the sale of RV still hurts me and at a small fee.

Bournemouth are currently top 8 PL

Yep

Bournemouth

Spending is no guarantee of success. See west ham for details, possibly also fulham

We’ve a good coach, they’ve invested heavily in the youth system. Let’s hope that bears fruit over the next 5 years

RV had potential but that sort of money for someone that wasn’t likely to feature as a starter, sadly did make sense.

If we can get into the premiership and make a few additions to stay there, we’ve the potential to break into the top 8, but so have 5/ 6 other clubs

We’re trying to get in amongst the likes cash rich premierships teams such as

Man citeh
Chelski
Liverpuddle
Tottingham
Arse nal
Everton
Wolves
Salford

Won’t be easy to get where we should be

Be a few bumps along the way.

I stil hurt when you look at how much MB has brought our players on you have to ask how good could he of made RV, a player with true england potential. of course i get on KP's back but I do feel Rv would of outed him from the team, given us the steel and mobility not to be over run. I think we have one weakness and need one player a player with legs who can tackle if I was Mb i would want to sign someone like RV but think he would cost about 15-20 to get from Sapdoria.

Nick picking bermo
Big fan of rv but would we have been that much better?
Me say no.

11 Oct 2018 15:47:51
RV or Klich?

11 Oct 2018 15:52:37
Top 10 of PL in our first season will do for me :) unless we do what we did the last time we got promoted, 4th then champions.

Got a good price for RV in my opinion, young lad, lots of potential but needs to show it over the next two years. Could not pin down a place in team last year so doubt if he would have been a regular this one. Obviously i rated him big time talked about him long before he got in first team but he was still a bit raw and a lot to learn. If he had a couple of full seasons under his belt would have brought at least double the price paid if he had continued to improve. Samps will be hoping he continues to improve but you know what kids are like.

The team that I believe will play at Blackburn:

BPF
Berardi Cooper Jansson Dallas
Phillips
Klich
Alioski Saiz Harrison
Roberts

The team that I would like to play at Blackburn:

BPF
Dallas Berardi Jansson Alioski
Phillips
Klich
Hernandez Saiz Harrison
Roofe

Thoughts?

I’m hoping roofe and Hernandez are back.
Not sure it’s fair to drop cooper for one bad game.
Think Saiz needs a rest.
And while we are on the subject. I’m underwhelmed by Bamford. I know he hasn’t played much but I think we paid 5-6 mill too much for him. I’d have roofe and Roberts on team sheet before him.

10 Oct 2018 12:34:16
Need Hernandez and Roofe in team if fit, even if Pablo just plays an hour.

10 Oct 2018 12:49:47
Obviously, Roofe's form this season warrant a place in the team. However Roberts offers so much more as the lone striker, his link-up play is superb!

10 Oct 2018 13:09:00
Bamford has played about 2 games for us so far - waaay to early to judge him and he is a proven goalscorer at this level.

10 Oct 2018 14:35:11
My initial thoughts are we paid 5-6 mill too much for Bamford. He has looked clueless in my opinion. Time will tell but I think he is a dud.

10 Oct 2018 14:50:44
Exactly Alf, well said. Not remotely possible to judge someone based on a few sub appearances.

10 Oct 2018 15:52:11
Hopefully Roofe and Pablo back in, Shackleton at right back, maybe switch Berardi for Phillips, Baker for Saiz.

10 Oct 2018 16:43:05
A couple of sub appearances, a cup game and U23’s is hardly the basis for rating a player surely Aus. I’m here to be proved wrong in time, but let’s at least get him back from injury, and give him a fair crack!?

10 Oct 2018 20:10:00
Mr aus, been on the fosters again, talking baloney again.
Bamford not even had chance to get going. he will be our best striker in years
Says he, s down-underwhelmed. what a plonker Rodney.

10 Oct 2018 20:19:01
Struth sheila" 7 million for bamford. that's 5/ 6 million too much.
