I am not calling for bmd out, but having put up with the crap of the last few seasons I've actually got back up to Leeds and started to get behind the team again.

Unfortunately nothing has changed on the pitch, we win a few games and then go into nosedive and start struggling against teams we should beat.

GFH either need to pull their finger out and spend some serious money of fxxk off and let someone in who will.

I am fed up hearing that 'we need a striker' or 'we are going to get someone in' or 'bmd has money available' or whatever this weeks spin phrase is? Just bloody do it or do one?

Either put the money up and get a couple of decent strikers in or do one and sell up to someone who realises we are heading the wrong way down the table (yet again).

Not rocket science is it?

And for those of you who start saying we've only played 'x' amount of games, how many games do you need to lose before you realise promoion becomes a mathmatical improbability/impossibilty?

It's not just about Leeds losing points, it's about the other teams taking them? If we lose 2-0 to Millwall it's 6 points gone, we lost three and they got three? We should be three points ahead of them and we are three points behind them = six points to catch up?

Do you not think that if there was some1 out there who was loaded and had plenty to throw at the team and actually wanted to buy us it would not have already been done! There hasn't been some billionaire who wants Leeds or they would have bought us by now! Why don't you invest? It sounds so simple when u talk about it

Great post, spot on.

Surely gfh must know plenty of rich billionaires being investment people themselfs, the guy is right they are the owners of our club so must decide iff they really can afford to keep us or not .

Original post is correct.

Money, money money, must be funny, in a rich mans world! If money was available we would have our players and paying top dollar wages! We are where we are! I would love to wave a magic wand and make it all ok but can't! What we need is a better performance from what we have! If the other team have better skill we need to run them twice as hard, be fitter and take our chances where they come up! Whilst the players we have are used/played as BMD is playing them then we will not win matches. We need to utilise what we have better and the players need to grow a pair, work hard or lose their place! Having said this, I would rather have a club than be in administration, I am truly gutted and continue to take the flack but am forever Leeds. MOT.

For 'Stanners'

OP here, if I had the money I would have already done that.

I seriously believe there ARE people who do have the money to buy GFH out and invest in the team, but GFH don't seem to be able to understand that THEY need to invest money into the team to make any serious difference to last year, and the year before, etc, etc.

I think one of the comments here puts it better than I did, fork out or fork off.

Honestly mate I am as frustrated as you and want the best for Leeds I really do, but all I am trying to say is if there is somebody out there who wants Leeds, who has big money and willing to spend it on Leeds, they would have got in touch with gfh and enquired about buying, and if that was the case I genuinely believe they would (flip) sell straight away, so what I think is they haven't had a rich buyer interested!?

Fifa 14 post here seeing as the Fantasy is probably going to be better than the reality for a while.

Career mode, LUFC as club. Obviously,

Sold: Norris, Tonge and loaned out 3 youngsters.

Bought in: Rowe (250k), Januzaj (750k) Obertan (650k)

Scored 7 in the first lot of firendlies, with Poleon, Mowatt, Dawson and smith contributing.

Any other experiences out there.

Yep, I sold Norris for 300k, hall for 400k, drury for 140k and loaned out youngsters as well.
I played all my friendlies and only the only player scoring was poleon. So I tried getting le fondre: rejected.
I then signed becchio. He was doing everything in his first 3 games. Apart from scoring. Finally he scored the winner against wigan. I went crazy. Transfer deadline day now and hope to sign a winger. Looking at sammy ameboi on loan. Kenny isn't very good on fifa. Pearce is a tank

To first reply I got fifa14 on Saturday and it doesn't have mowatt on it so what u talking about.
Del Boy

2nd season I got albrighton Carayol goodwillie smithes cisse from fc sion a few youngsters

Delboy - you need to download updates and then on career mode use download latest as squads.

Mowatt is in the game, are you playing default squads or downloaded the latest. I use him to cover RossM behind the front 2.

Just got rid of Tonge and Diouf, brought in a chap called Afobe from AFC to add to the 3 in the original post. He will be my rotation player with Poleon. I use Smith or Varney as the other partner. Classic slow guy, fast guy scenario.

That should be fine for now, with a goalie planned for January (Kenny retiring at end of season), probably going to go with Smithies.

Just signed will Hughes for 1.2 mil plus Tom lees played a few games and some of his stats have decreased!

To those posters who claim leeds will sign becchio you are well off the mark as he does not match BMcD requirements. He is not young, hungry, affordable wage and we won't be able to afford him in january. Not bring negative just realistic.

I agree about that we won't be able to afford him but hunt is no good as well not young or hungry

Agree about hunt but he was signed because BMcD had previously worked with him.

Think Brain has said we need more pace

What about Hunt then, is he young and hungry,

Did I say that hunt was a good signing? Unfortunately hunt and BMcD go together like kenny and warnock, even if it contradicts his principles

29 Sep 2013 15:49:47
Marc albrighton to join monday from villa. Bm also tracking the becchio situation. Could rejoin leeds next week after claiming he'd love to return.

Get over Becchio pal, no way B McD would pay 1.8 million for a reject who can't make it into an average Norwich side

Your crazy mate if norwich are average then what does that makes us stop living in the past

29 Sep 2013 13:52:43
Becchio a LUFC modern great but not sure he is what we need as he's not a prolific scorer. OK last year he banged in a lot but let's not forget 6 or 7 were penalties and previous years he was a 1 in 3 striker. Then again that's probably better than we got at the moment! Would welcome him back though as to be fair he only left to try and further his career and get a hefty pay rise which I am pretty sure we would all do the same in similar position. MOT.

The reason he wasnt prolific before last season was because he was working hard creating the goals for beckford but still scoring a good amount of goals. In his first season in the championship he scored 20 goals and in his last half a season he scored 20 he's only had one season where he didn't score that much. Not too bad for 5 and a half years. I still think he along with a few January signings would have taken us up last year but this year could our year and his year

Another problem with becchio is he hasn't played regular football and will take 5-6 games to get upto fitness
has he even scored a goal since he left in january.

what if he doesn't score the goals us fans crave? will we be on the owners back to send him back to norwich and get a more prolific scorer in?

29 Sep 2013 12:50:05
Id love Albrighton he is quick and would cause problems not
Sure about Beccio coming back, E banks Blake would be better

Why would you want Ebanks Blake over Becchio now?

Becchio a former fan favourite, knows the club, scored loads for us.

V

Ebanks Blake - broken ankle and broken leg at the end of April, released by Wolves because he couldn't get fit for the season. Still hasn't got a club for the same reasons. Hasn't kicked a ball since April.

Now which would you want?

Crmd

I'd give Ebanks a trial for sure, sign him up before some tinpot side beats us!

Your joking. Ebanks Blake?
Now I'd love someone better than becchio but been as that won't happen I'd take becchio like a shot.
But it's important to get the winger to.
Hunt and murphy on bench. Shrew leeds

Would love to see becchio back at elland road

29 Sep 2013 12:15:54
Would like Becchio back. People can say 'never go back' and 'let's look to the future' as well as complaining that he left. The reality is he left to better himself. He is Argentinian and not a Leeds fan. He is a professional looking to earn more, something I am sure people can relate to. Football is an industry and it's his career. People who moan because he left are just being unrealistic and applying their love of the club as a fan to a professional player. In fact he was loyal and effective over a prolonged period. Just because he left does not mean he has no affection for the club, as seems likely now with a preference to return to Leeds. He is also a proven goalscorer at this level and at this club. That's a priceless commodity. He knows the fans, the players, the pressures and where the goal is. I also think B McD would get more out of him than the tree goblin NW. He would be ideal. He is also a bit of a legend. Let's go get him.

29 Sep 2013 13:56:56
Great post fella.
There should be no bitterness at all toward Luca.
He loved the club in much the same way as Rosco does.
That goblin monkey brain pushed him out. End of.
So let's welcome him back if the rumours come true.

Guys I have supported you since I was 4 and will support you till the day I die but guys look above this is called A GOAL, can you put the ball in it please.

Ketlufc

It may be my browser but that goal only has one post {Ed013's Note - Browser error}

29 Sep 2013 13:58:23
Should've used jumpers for goal posts pal!

29 Sep 2013 20:36:41
Jumpers for goalposts! classic quote :-)

29 Sep 2013 09:45:26
Apparently we are after a striker and a winger. If rumours are true its paynter and a guy from the blunts called Hall.

And just when we thought things could not get any worse lol

29 Sep 2013 01:47:43
Not a rumour.can anyone tell me where Tom Lees is?not in the team, not on the bench, not injured!

Lee's is injured but should be fit for tuesday

Same place as Aidy White. Out of favoufr.

29 Sep 2013 10:47:33
Well unlike brian I have taken advantage of the loan market and brought in Alex's nimely from man city and sammy amoebi from Newcastle. I hope salah norruudin is telling the truth on twitter and Brian follows up on the funds being offered. The funds should have been put on the table on the summer though instead of now
