Personally I am sick of the repeated reports of the same old shizzel and wish the club would make a OS and let everyone know the score either way.

So what do you get for £70 million. Shares ground gfh Thorpe arch.

The best thing I have heard this week is Mansford saying we still want to bring another 4 players . So Chinese investors or not, MC and co are looking to put out a team that will be competing at the right end of the table . Another 4 decent players added to what we have and we will be in the mix.

2 of that 4 could be the player for the development squad and the Italian right back we currently have on trial. Hope not.

Notts
It will be meaning only really one further player of note for the first team. Hopefully Bridcutt but we really need another central defender.

Agree George.

29 Jul 2016 23:08:35
Yes I agree too. There could be two signed for the under 21s: the lad from Reading and one from Donny but I'd be happy with Bridcutt and a beast of a centre half aka The Terminator, Robert Molenaar! No seriously the new Lucas Radebe would do nicely.

Bridcutt and the new Lucas we'd vie for top 2. What a spine that would make!

We can only hope Georgie Boy although we're not a million miles away.

burnley want taylor could be bad move if rumour of 100m bid for club is true . they say we have good brand name and would be good investemt.

One thing nothing to do with the other. Taylor isn't even a full international yet. There are other LBs.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 15:03:44
Looks like finally someone sees our potential
Buy club
Buy ground
Buy players
Get promoted
Extend capacity
Make money
Easy init!?
Taylor who?

Agree1 Disagree0

Cant share your enthusiasm just yet ausman. Once again its a group of investors looking for a profit. Gfh spring to mind. If they invest say 20 mill on players and ee don't go up will they be ready to do it again next season? don't see wolves or villa spending mega money on players. Would rather one multi billionaire buy us.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 17:23:54
I agree Bige.
Don't see other teams with supposed big money men investing. We would prob be the same. The days of Man city types buying everyone are gone.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 09:05:59
We're all expecting some new signings and will need to make them before August 31st as there's no emergency loan window this season but who out of the youth do you lot think will come through this year? Coyle, Viera or could Mulhern or someone else get a chance?

Mornin Mickster, hope your summer has been hot hot hot. I think Coyle and Viera will definitely figure, don't forget Phillips as well and I expect Mowatt to have a good season. I shall be piling a ton at 40/ 1 with Coral for us to win the league as I do every year, the last time I collected was 92 lol. So, here is to optimism before another season, oh dear, and downing lots of pints supporting those Whites.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 11:10:09
From what I'm hearing from people on here viera could hopefully be the real deal, and save us a few quid . Hope so then the issue of another midfielder may not be so pressing.

I'm expecting Vieira and Stokes to make a fair splash this season.

Stokes? Interesting. Will keep an eye out for him
Not many mentioned him.

It's normally a shirt, shorts and a pair of socks. I believe they throw in a complimentary track suit too.
Am I right?

Story on news now site regarding a Chinese consortium is interested in buying the club, includes interview snippets from the leader! Very interesting indeed.

I've read that rumour Jonny and hope there's some truth in it, providing they are going to invest in the team which they are according to reports.

True that mate, time will tell if the story has any legs or not, but does sound positive. Let's just hope they do a complete buy out and get rid of GBH!

I think GFH will have to sell as Cellino would enforce a drag along right.

A drag-along right is a right that enables a majority shareholder to force a minority shareholder to join in the sale of a company. The majority owner doing the dragging must give the minority shareholder the same price, terms and conditions as any other seller.

Happy Friday peeps!

Read an article about this and maybe it's just the sceptic in me, but here is an extract. Steve Tappin is the chief executive of Xinfu, a company that works with investors to make huge return on their investment,

If there is truth in it then I hope they're looking at long term and not trying to make a quick Yen. Then again can our club be milked anymore? So maybe they could be our sugar daddy 😀.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 10:32:46
I don't think we've got much left to milk have we JT? Tappin is a life long Leeds fan so presumably has our best interests at heart. He has claimed he wants to ensure that we can sustain Premier League football and the funds are there to do it. As an investment they must see the potential of being in the Premier League and staying there. That should be all the incentive an investor should need.

If this is going to happen it might happen very quickly as once the transfer deadline has passed, that'll be that for this season.

I'm hoping all of this is true. Going to get some cash on us for promotion before the odds plummet.

Good insight MM - never heard of a drag along before (well, only when my wife uses it to drag me along to the in-laws) .

The new super smart mm is a turn on!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 18:02:11
I hope you're right Mick. David Haigh is a life long Leeds fan and introduced us to the only Arabs in the world with no cash. When I say not much more to milk, I mean in the way of assets. Although the biggest assets by far is our wonderful fanbase and it baffles me why nobody has taken us up on this. I'm not getting my hopes up, as I think we will be ok this year without new money, but if it does happen 40/ 1 with pal. I had a tenner as Indo every year. After all it came up for me in 1992 👍🏻.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 00:30:09
We need a center back, David Wheater needs a club at 29 I would of thought it was a no brainer.

Haven't commented on this in a long time, read this daily and love all the leeds banter, here is my tuppence worth re the current team from going to and watching the highlights from the Friendlies - We are looking dangerous but vulnerable. We are getting crosses into the box and actually are getting players in there.

Roofe looks class and sackho tricky, we have Dallas and Botaka as well outside. Mowatt is playing like a number 10, as he should be, he has class but no speed, so play him accordingly. With Cooper and Beradi to come back to play alongside Bartley and Taylor (IF he stays) . Green in goal with anntonson and Wood up front. Dougugura holding. I think it's playoff material. Add another centre back and holding midfielder and we are good to go?

Thanks mate. Helps a lot. Good to hear we look threatening. Hope wood turns into a striker this year
So you think we have enough players now. Or just need a couple defenders?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2016 12:31:08
We badly need these defenders and if we get them I will be hopeful rather than expecting. Obviously would like to see more quality signings come in but can't see it happening unless we get some investment. Can't wait to see what team GM puts out tomorrow. It should be a clear indication of what way he is going to ser up.
