£6m offer for 'boro's Rudy Gustede turned down.

In fairness Lucas most on here said Wood wasnt worth the 3 plus paid. Gustede did look tasty a couple of years back at Bburn. The lad is big and strong, great in the air and has a nice touch. Maybe we should trust the powers as so far their recruitment has been good.

Thoughts Guys? Do you think we have won both away games because of the 4-2-3-1 systems allows us to break quickly whilst the home team is coming on to us whereas at home the away team sits back more? Maybe 4-4-2 at Elland Road or at least for the last 30 mins if it's not going our way?

PP, I've posted a few times that away from home our set up works well and we have more time and space on the wings. I have seen both home games and it's a lot tougher. But against Fulham TC responded with both Saiz and Hernandez and we looked better. Who we have in the Centre at home is key as well to getting control. The good thing is that TC is a thinker and you can see him trying to work situations out. a good start, a thinking manager and 15 Mill in the back pocket to spend!

The reason we are so threatening is because in saiz alioski and Hernandez we have 3 naturally central players, so because they look to play centrally they can swap about on the pitch, and they can all push on to help the striker. For me this is the reason that we are seeing more from Hernandez, saiz roofe etc because they are pushing on and getting their shots in and following up in a diamond around the striker, while they can feed him in whoever it may be. Think Shane long fits the bill perfectly here, similarly nahki wells as a cheaper alternative, I don't think we should be looking to cross the ball as much and more focus on our on the ground play.

Apparently we have signed Dutch u19 Jay Roy Grot from N. E. C deal has been announced on Dutch media as a four-year contract.

Concerning imo, unproven in any league and a big risk

Not concerned myself, as our DoF obviously knows what he's doing, based on signings so far.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Aug 2017 17:29:35
He'll be for the u23s or our Spanish link up Prob doing this deal for weeks and it's nothing to do with the sale of. Nope forgotten him already

Could have a bj and a bit of grot in the team. All we need now is for Peter Shirtlifter to come out of retirement 😂

Kun T to come in as well Lucas.

I don't think Grot will be for the u23's at 1.5 million though I am often wrong. As Fiorentina tried to buy him I'm guessing he's another bargain in the making at that price.

Apparently we've placed a £6m bid in for Rudy Gestede, don't know what to think of this, any thoughts?

Believable1 Unbelievable4

21 Aug 2017 15:43:08
Personally I don't believe it, having seen how much better our 3 attacking midfielders have looked against port vale and Sunderland ( without wood) i. e. Target man, I'd like to see us go for a more mobile options/options. We look far more fluid with saiz alioski pablo Ekuban as they all swap n change position it keeps defences guessing . With a target man we look too rigid and they sit deeper to enable a higher ball forward!

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Aug 2017 16:46:26
Chuba akpom, nahki wells, Cameron jerome all spring to mind

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2017 17:25:59
What about putting a cheeky bid in for Darren Bent think he would do OK in this Leeds team don't think they would want to let him go but u got to be init to win it. ?

Agree2 Disagree2

21 Aug 2017 17:29:36
Actually looks true as in a number of papers and sky . I suppose we have Alli etc crossing in balls so would be good to get someone on the end of them . As for Grot I think this is another one for future, calm down dear.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wells is a no go he's had operation on an injury and is out for atleast 6 weeks! I'd love Danny inngs or Shane long, and McCormack on loan

Yesterday's withdrawal from the match by CW would of had a negative impact on many clubs but it did the opposite for us. We looked as though we were better without him, we didn't do the usual hoof it to Wood thing and we looked like title challengers! TC was unknown but he is a good Manager and someone we needed, he is a lot more positive than Monk was and he makes positive substitutions, he could of put BJ on to protect the one nil but he put Dallas on and he scored. As it is, never mind the play offs, we could win this league! MOT

Super stuarty Dallas. A lot of posts saying useless, sell him, don't need him. Imo the games he played in pre season he done great within 3 super goals. And he hasn't dinevyoo bad so far with the minutes he's played. Onwards and upwards. Keep it going stuarty. ⚽️⚽️👍😃

Ok then fellow Leeds fans, Wood now gone so all that negativity was firmly put robbed with our win at Sunderland, so we are linked with five strikers, Lassonga from Hertha Berlin, Ross Mac, Jordan Rhodes, Nahki Wells and the young lad Oli from Swansea. Personally Ross M is a big NO! Rhodes or Wells but not both and the Swansea lad to young for me and relatively untried, which leaves Lassonga on big wages! I would like Rhodes who has something to prove with a CB! Thoughts or even any names to add. MOT

Hi Guys Not posted for a while but glad to be back. Loved mad Micks comment about alphabet spaghetti to the spurs fan! The positivity I see is great so keep it going everyone. Radz prooving awesome too. In reply to your post I think you can add Hugill from Preston into the mix and today this 6ft 4in u19 Dutch international Jay Roy Grot. It says on his wiki page that Dutch media have confirmed Leeds agreed a fee today. I think this lad with a more proven striker like Rhodes will be great business replacing Wood. Exciting happy days!

Statement from our chairman: Statement regarding Chris Wood
For the past month we have tried to negotiate a new three year contract with Chris Wood. We offered the player strong financial terms including reasonable exit clauses, lower than the fee we demanded for a transfer this summer, should the club not reach the Premier League in a certain timeframe. However the player’s preference was to leave Leeds United and as he only had one year left on his contract after this season we had to protect the club and ensure we did not sell Chris below our valuation. We want players at Leeds who consider us a big club and we want players who are committed to our vision to return to the Premier League. Supporters can rest assured that monies generated from the sale of Chris Wood will be reinvested into adding to the 12 signings we have made already. Thank you for your continued support. MOT

Can't fault that An owner who is open and honest

Love it, Radz takes no bs. So, another who claimed to love the club and want to get promotion and then used us to boost his ego/earnings. See ya Woody.

The more I hear from Radz the more I like him. He seems a top man and he never short changes the fans. He seems to include us in every decision he makes and for him to come out and say we are reinvesting the £15M in signings to add to the twelve we already have signed is fantastic, imagine if that was Bates, we would never of seen a penny of that! Nice one Radz absolute diamond! 👍MOT

Fantastic owner, imagine if Bates was still there, that £15M would never of been seen again!

It's official. Wood passes medical and is now a Burnley player.

Wonder who has a nicer bench Leicester or Burnley? Hmmm

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Aug 2017 14:09:40
Alot of them are those comfy looking car seat things in the prem but as Leicester have a more modern stadium i would say them at a guess. send Woody a tweet in a few weeks time to confirm.

Rangers fan here guys. Would yous be gutted to see him leave? Is he a decent player?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2017 13:47:02
Wouldn't say gutted to see him leavevas he hasn't even got near squad this season. But the rough n tumble of the SPL might suit the douk and he can score a goal judging by his Bullet goal last season. Think he would do ok at the bears. ⚽️👍😃

Cheers Battymatty! Hopefully he does well, has the chance of making a name for himself up here! We are struggling big time the now.
