Incredibly good pre season for Radz and co promise the fans the earth then when season tickets all sold moan about how hard it is to bring players in don't think Forest struggled to fetch 10 in, the 3 stooges are great at PR and smoke and mirrors but lague one standard at football matters expect Bielsa to walk before xmas at present don't think were anywhere near to challenging for promotion, Radz more interested in expanding his empire outside Leeds United, Orta well what can you say. all were doing is getting shut of his naff signings, as for Kinnear about as good as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest beggars belief to spend all that money on a manager then not back him troubling times ahead methinks

Overly pessimistic. The WC still on. I know about Forest and I'm slightly disappointed with Grabban but none of our prime targets have gone elsewhere. Abel, Vydra, Bartley, Bryan, Blackman, Maddison and Wilson all still in play. Keep the faith awhile longer.

I agree with George, things are obviously happening behind the scenes, clear out plans happening, I also like the way in which the original band of players has been added to. Great to show that players can move between the groups. I imagine a lot Is going on re potential transfers and slightly more complicated if Bielsa has more of a say or veto. Let’s see who we finally get in and what the pre season friendly football is like before we give up on the season.

Well George when Kinnear states were going to rely heavily on the loan market this window it explains a lot, if we get one out of your list I think that will be it the rest from prem league clubs on loan don't expect any signings till world cup is over hope i'm wrong but well see.

We aren’t even in for Maddison or Bryan are we. ?

Rhino Hopefully he was referring to the outgoings! Only way to get shot of them.

If Leeds was serious about signing Maddison, why didn't use the loan for Tyler Denton as a condition. Don't believe we are really after Maddison, just another red herring.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2018 13:41:11
Alaw We're interested in Bryan fo sure. We should be in Maddison too. Cracking player in George opinion.

Grabbon officially joins Florists, got to have some decent signings lined up from somewhere. Read a rumour of Kodja and Assombalonga ! Surely their both out of out price range.

Forest really seem to be going for it, while we continue to be linked to players here there and everywhere, but another week passes by with the big announcements being a shop opening, and ticket details for a friendly against Guiseley FFS.

Not a rumour, just a thought. As frustrating as it is being a Leeds fan for many years, particularly recently, things are finally looking up. However, has anyone considered this? Why is it so difficult for us to get signings over the line? Ok, one loan signing so far but the ambitious approach for Hernandez and Vydra have left us salivating and thinking at last, we are coming back. But. Is this a massive PR stunt by radz and his team? Getting Bielsa was a massive coup and a wonderful piece of work. Bielsa's alleged wages are astronomical and more than our national manager receives. What if this is a PR stunt, we pay his wages for a month, Radz etc look like they have corrected the wrongs of last season and we are looking to make multiple marquee signings. If none of these signings come off then we know Bielsa may walk away (like he did at Lazio) . This leaves us days away from the new season with no manager or decent players and our knee jerk reaction will be to appoint someone who is Heckingbottom-esque. Maybe I am being pessimistic but was I the only one thinking 'here we go again' when Columbia got their equaliser? What are your thoughts? !

Nothing would surprise me!, Either we can't afford these players and it was all BS to sell season tickets, or the new coach really does see something in the squad and youngsters. Although it's puzzling that we are sending some good ones out on season long loans. If it's to be believed Beilsa is the type to walk if things don't suit him then we may well be looking for the next coach before christmas. As usual us fans are promised great things by the powers to be, time will tell. Ps, click is ticking Radz and co.

Well. Very surprised by Paudie going out on loan! But, looking at it positively, as I generally do, it's going to be great for his development, and can only point towards imminent arrivals! But who? . ? .

Saying we now looking at Kodja from Villa instead of Vydra. More like some old codger. Is this another smokescreen, kodja had a poor season at Villa last season but did well the previous 2.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jul 2018 15:05:38
Think he only played 4 times for Villa last year sfter 2 bad injuries and operations, here we go again, new manager same old Leeds. my take on it from recent statements, don't expect any big signings, what we've got including a few of our young lads plus loan players, Kinnear said exciting summer ahead, so where the hell is it.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jul 2018 15:21:11
Paudie a season long loan too. Originally they were talking until January.

Agree3 Disagree0

06 Jul 2018 16:44:17
Started to buy into the hype a couple of weeks ago when new coach was coming in. Really not that excited anymore as things stand. Think we will be realistically just outside the play offs, can't see unless things dramatically change and decent players come in that we can be considered as one of the promotion favourites. Certainly much stronger teams and squads than ours.

Felipe Caicedo, or anyone else for that matter. Stop saying "greatly experienced" What does that really mean? Especially for a striker. The only stats are Games and Goals and for this man. 17/18 - games 33, goals 6. 16/17 - games 29, goals 2. Enough said. His Good? days are behind him.

Exactly. I say I'm greatly experienced, that just means I'm knocking on a bit, doesn't mean I'm any good.

Too true guys. I'm "very experienced" at drinking beer, but that doesn't mean anything more than I'm very good at falling over!

Radical Thinking pt2 I can think of 14 that I would start with next year. BPF, Ayling, Pontus, O'Connor, Shaugnessy, Pearce, Ideguchi, Forshaw, Viera, Baker, Pablo, Saiz, Alioski, Roberts. This allows for one big buy, Vydra/Hernandez but even so throws up potential problems in a 3-3-3-1 line up plus no cover in the group for a GK. How about BPF-/- Ayling, Pontus, Oconn/Shaugn-/-Ideguchi, Forshaw, Pearce-/-Alioski, Baker, Pablo-/-Roberts. I know, no Saiz only because I am not sure where to fit him in. He will do the same job as Baker and I don't want them bumping into each other all game altho I may drop Alioski and play Saiz. I know it has flaws. I know it has no wings. I know it will be shot at, but it's a start. So AK47s at the ready, go ahead.

Just read Kinners latest comments and he's full of it, were taking a considered approach, we don't want to rush things, doesn't fill you with confidence remarks like that, so have they been considering Vydra and Hernandez these past several weeks or what, if they've been identified as who we want get em in all we do is fanny about can see Mbakogu leading the line next year what the hell is Orta doing the fans deserve way better than this

Don't know if you read any of Kinnear's Programme Notes last season, but he said we were still in with a shout for the Play Off's when every body knew we had more chance of seeing Rocking Horse sh*t.

Agree3 Disagree0

Can't understand why not going all out to land Abel Hernandez, a quality striker and I think with Pablo or saiz pulling the strings behind him, could score a bag full. He is available on a free, pay him 40k P/W over 3 or 4 years ( 6-8mil) ? I feel better option than Vydra, who appears they want 13mil for and then whatever his wages are. Would then hope Roberts/Hernandez partnership would work and still have big Edmondson to develop. I am hoping lack of transfer activity is down to deals already in place with man City and spurs, still would like Foyth. This is a ride and wouldn't think rads would pay bielsa's wages and not invest funds to get promoted?

Totally agree Shadwell. No point bringing in Gordon Ramsey to cook dinner, if you're just going to give him oven chips to cook with!

The outgoings I'm liking at moment . I read de bock and klish are training with the u23s ? Not sure why that is so are they next out the door ? Hope so . some youngsters promoted to first team which is great 👍 but we need them big signings still. it's now 6th July and nothing
