Also what would we use to pay him?

Agree4 Disagree3

02 Jul 2016 16:38:53
Because he scored one goal? His record at Reading was dreadful.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 21:53:57
vokes?
Never came close to scoring one like that at Leeds.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

02 Jul 2016 06:07:13
Scored one against us similar to that 1st game of last season.

02 Jul 2016 09:50:57
Yeah it was almost identical.

Some piece of business by Reading releasing Robson Kanu someone is going to be sacked for that.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed003's Note - He left after letting his contract run out Reading didn't have a choice in it, I believe Villa and Newcastle are interested.}

02 Jul 2016 13:36:57
Fair enough ed would not mind if he could be persuaded to come to Leeds.

England a disgrace.

Welcome to ER Kyle Bartley. Good business that. Cookoo in the nest/ head out, experienced premier league defender in. Can see him getting the best out of Cooper.

MM.

A fine day's business at ER. Even I am happy with today's news but we need more days like today. We need 2 more central defenders and hopefully we get Bridcutt back here.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Jul 2016 19:28:39
Plenty of time lads. George that feeling of optimism must feel funny. Pretty soon you'll be wanting Massimo to stay.

It's not yet optimism. Hard to be optimistic when some sort of meeting we missed or could not attend presumably because of GFH caused us to miss out on Fletcher.
Let's be honest though. We have not yet "strengthened". Antonsson and Bartley yes. It's good but we are replacing Antenucci, Bianchi, Bellusci and dare I say Wooton. We need extra quality additions before we can say we got stronger. In meantime, Bar Codes and Wendies look very good for top 2.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 20:22:45
Bartley in Bellushi out. Is anyone but Hessilan upset by this. Bartley is just what we need someone who can play the ball from the back
If we can add Briscutt and several more there can be room for opptomism.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 17:14:47
Fletcher signed for sheff wed, is that going to be another we link with but don't come through on that goes there and rips the league up like forriesteri?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

01 Jul 2016 18:28:51
Not rated by many on here but I certainly rate him. I think he will score for fun in this league - works hard too.

MM.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 20:17:07
Hes a finisher alright. Injury prone though and amazed he got a 4 year contract.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Jul 2016 09:21:33
Yes a four year contract on 35grand a week. Didn't I see a post on hear a couple of weeks ago saying he was useless past it and Not the player we should be after.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Jul 2016 10:26:02
Just have that feeling he will come back to haunt us by missing out again.

Agree0 Disagree1

Top spot.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 15:58:48
I'm suddenly fealing more pessimism than optimism at the moment. Newcastle sign Ritchie who was fantastic in this league and a decent pl player . Think to spot is sewn up now . We need to bring in two or three quality players especially as we've lost Ant. I know we've brought in the swede but he could be anything. Oh woe is me I sense another depressing season, so many other teams getting things sorted, come on cellino give us a marquee signing, something to cheer, something to look forward to . please.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 19:49:08
Hard to compete with Newcastle Lancaster can't really put us in same bracket considering the 90 million parachute payment.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jul 2016 09:16:38
I know that wex, that's what I mean about top spot being sewn up but we need to be competing for the top six. When you think villa, wendys, Brighton, Derby, Norwich, that's the calibre of team we'll be competing with for top six . At least three more quality signings required to come close to these teams .

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 14:49:14
Good luck to Wales tonight. Do it for our Gary Speed.

They seem to be a team united unlike the disjointed England set up. Good luck to them and do it for Speedo!

Newcastle spending big bucks and now the Wendys. This is going to be a lot tougher league than least season I think. I was kind of hoping the Wendys would be punished under FFP but their spending seems to be on the up.

MM.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 14:49:01
I did make the point last season that Sheff Wed will be a force even if they did not get promotion. The rules have been relaxed so that losses in a three year period are scrutinised however those clubs with financial clout will not be discouraged by FFP.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 15:38:59
And I agreed with you Notts. Halaperidol deprived man from down under seems to think Leeds will do better than the Wendies this season. In that case we will secure an automatic promotion spot because I have the Wendies finishing no lower than third.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 16:00:10
We are going to have to get in some very shrewd buys to compete anywhere near top 6 next season. With guys like Gayle going for 10 million and Wednesday offering similar amounts of cash for players, we could be in for a long one.
But, if new geezer scores 25 plus goals to go along with Woods' 25 and Wowatt comes back to form under Monk and bangs in 15 plus we should be thereabouts! Throw in 2 top CBs and and a quality pacey winger/ striker and top 2 is on. Simple really.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 16:03:47
Yeah fair comment Notts. It seems the FFP punishments are far outweighed by the chance of the promised land. Still irks me though!

Fletcher apparently joining Wet Sham rather than coming to LUFC.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 13:05:24
Looking at the squad ( of 25 players ) with most of the Italians gone and about 3 more deadwood to go I would say we would be left with roughly a dozen senior pros ( played 10 or more 1st team games ) . There are about 5 or 6 of the best youngsters to be added to this . That then player wise leaves the rest of the development squad / young pros. We need to bring in at least 7 decent players or more. 2 centre half's . 2 wingers . defensive mid . no 10 and another striker.

Looks like one in one out so snother two signings buy one get one free. Ant out ant in bel out bartley in bridcutt and bianchi out two more in? Got fee for bel so will prob spend it on someone. Down to GFH empty pockets, Cellino won't put in if they dont.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 12:30:25
Need to sort out defence 'issue' maybe we should have a whip round to help out. It's not just one or two we need - what about depth and strength of the squad at the back - not just up front.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 09:17:48
Looks like Ashley Fletcher has signed a 4 year deal at West Ham.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 11:55:51
Damn shame that, thought he would have been a good signing. Still 4 years with a Prem club r the uncertainty of Leeds must have been a no brainier. Makes me think they were the ones who turned his head in the first place. Still he's not got it easy there, but rumour has it he will be loaned back to Barnsley for s season.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 07:44:47
It may be my paranoia but reading between the lines it seems as though we have a very tight budget, GFH are not contributing, it's a one in, one out policy and looks as though Massimo hasn't got much cash to spare for transfers which will mean all top quality targets will be missed, as they will go to clubs who can afford to pay the fee and wages, so GM and Pep are going to have to work miracles with our existing squad and the odd cheapo signing and loans, I really hope it's not going to be another frustrating season! Grrr it's soo disappointing, yesterday I getting Dannys optimism Today George is rubbing off on me!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jul 2016 09:18:35
You should know better than get close enough to George to let him rub off on you!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jul 2016 09:18:40
Dj I don't want to drive you into the open arms of George but the fact is we are on a tight budget only a couple of seasons ago we were on brink of administration. Be patient we'll get there in fairness it's been fairly positive this summer so far. We bring in a manager that fans seem happy with we have had investment in the form of new sponsors we have signed a striker for 2 million and extended the contracts of a number of young prospects. As Ian Dury sang reasons to be cheerful.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Jul 2016 09:58:47
😂 Ox better not let George rub himself off on me, I've heard he can be frisky! Wexy thanks for that I feel better, have you been having lessons from DG 😎.

You are right but only so far as it goes. With extra investment we could've really done something this season. Cellooney exposes himself more and more as a fraud and imposter. Yes, GFH are awful but he knew they'd put in zero for transfers from the beginning.

01 Jul 2016 15:33:45
Ha ha DJ. I read first 5 words and looked for Georges name at bottom

When was the last time GFH put any money into buying a player, before Cellino came to the club. They entered into an agreement with the great businessman making them a silent partner. Cellino needs to fund the club or he will be paying out a lot of money to those who purchased season, making the season after even worse.
