Cibicki and lasogga here on loan. one thing we have been missing is goals so hopefully three a game would be good.

lets hope this swede is not like the last one.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

The last Swede was Pontus so I do hope he is like him! and only Lassonga is on loan, Cibicki is on a four year deal! All will be very good though as Radz, TC and Orta haven't let us down yet so in them we trust. MOT

Now that the transfer window is closed does Orta just put his feet up and look as smug as the rest of us? In all seriousness though, what does he do now?

Look for players for the next window (s)

Overall we spent roughly 19.5million in this window (on players) (including Lasogga's wages) and recouped 23 million. Hopefully the rest will be reinvested at a later point.

Nitpicking alf. Are you not happy with wat we got. You want every last penny spent?

Alf thought it was slightly less around 16m and that is not adding in any wages. Rads also pledged circa £15m to the transfer kitty. Would like to think we could have £7m from transfer trading surplus plus the pledged £15m. Giving us a kitty of £22m. Think we will plug any perceived weak areas in January window and then reassess at the end of the season. From a business perspective even if you allowed for the purchase of the ground from these funds at £17m we still have £5m in the kitty to strengthen. Think Rads was also quoted as saying the cost of ground repurchase was costed separately and not part of any transfer kitty funds. Further to this and reading between the lines in one of his most recent interviews he was trying to say that with the large scale resources that he had to put in, if he could not get us promoted within 5 years of trying, he would move aside. More like saying if he couldn't achieve it with his funding there would be something wrong and he would let somebody else takeover

really don't think Wood going was part of Rads and T C plans but he has and we have had an excellent transfer window . Rads spoke about reinvestment of funds, he has not lied or lead us on as yet . Our new coach and players doing well new room team club etc well no one seems to be replaced or resigned . U23 lots of players from big European clubs and it seems as if this area is being taken as seriously as it should . Like most of you I thank M C for putting our club back on it's feet, however from the turnover of all staff I do think he was a tough bugger to get on with . Even our ladies team have been taken back into the fold of Leeds utd, and finally have you all noticed the lack of negative media coverage regarding us ! MOT

I just like to keep an eye on spending Aus - ever since Bates I'm wary of people telling us they have invested x amount when in actual fact the overall investment is not what it seems. Most chairmen never really put any of their own money into a club, rather they fund the club with player sales and 'loans' that they get back eventually. For instance, the purchase of ER will ultimately be paid for by the club itself - not by Radz. Not a complaint but just saying.

Another centre back would of been nice, but with all the attack power we can just outscore or opponents. So a very good summer, the best in donkeys years. We love you Leeds Leeds Leeds!

I believe it's the best window of recruitment in the history of our club.

Time will tell if that's true george but we do seem to have bought a lot of good players and we have completely changed the way we play and emphasis is on attack now. Going to be a good season.

Not sure about that George, off the top of my head, in the summer of 1989 didn't we sign Strachan, Fairclough, Sterland and Vinnie Jones?

Nah Colton, the summer of 1969 was even better. It was when I got my first real six string, I bought it at the five and dime, played it until my fingers bled, was the summer of 69 wooooaaahh, it was the summer of 69. MM

It's great to have a season that we can all feel so positive about. We are going to produce some exciting football and I think we could have a few games where we really thrash opponents. Interesting what he does with Roofe given how he took his opportunity. Surprised that Dacko didn't go out on loan as can't see how he will get on the bench at the moment. Re the defence, I imagine that TC also knows what we have at U23 level, so if it really comes to it we have a few more options there. What I like so far is that he seems to be a manager who can find solutions both in training and in game time. Roll on the next game!

Reasons why I say it is are 1. 16 signings. 2. In owner's first window. 3. Seems to have brought in quality, youth and not spent fortune. 4. Commitment to u-23 shown. 5. Most signings firing, good performances. 6. Selling Wood top price. 7. Cumulative effect rebranding club feelgood factor returns. 8. Saiz 9. Alioski 10. Grot. 11. Squad depth and good bench. When did we ever accomplish all of this? This is Radz debut window! I rest my case.

Totally agree George. Not just in the history of our club but the history of any club. I maybe slightly biased though. Time will tell
