A lot of people complaining about Mr Myagi being loaned out to Cultural Mayonaisse. Maybe this was a done deal already (as eluded to by Georgie Boy) and Radz seems a man of his word. Together with the fact that his season ended in December so he wouldn't be match fit and would take a while to get up to speed, let alone anywhere near the first team. Makes sense to me and if our whole season rests on one player who may or may not hit the ground running, it doesn't bode too well and maybe we're not deserving of a place in the elite just yet? MM

Nahki Wells at Burnley needs playing time. A loan deal to Leeds would work for both clubs.

We should have bought him from Bradford. Huddersfield got him for peanuts. That said, rumoured he hates LUFC.

I did hear a tale once of sharp trader, Head of Recruitment who earned himself a few bob on the side through buying certain players who had an agent who paid a percentage of his fee into a company whose Director was the said HoR. The player never quite made it in his new team and was quietly sold on (again with the requisite cut) some time later.

A lot of that goes on in stockbroking and merchant banking and other high paid jobs. I suspect that you are correct to suspect it in football.

A respected journalist friend in the north east predicted exactly where a former Leeds manager would acquire his next signings. He'd done the same with his previous employer, via the same agent. He was proved correct and we were relegated. Been happening for a long time. It's just got more global

Funny that you should say that, these agents would poach the stockbroker from the bank that they had introduces them ti8 and move them to another bank, after 2-3 years and one get a fee and the other get another signing on fee. Also, if the stockbroker "underperformed", the broker would be their to "reverse recruit" the stockbroker and be paid a fee to get him a job elsewhere. The agent would get a fee for taking them away and a fee from the new employer, who had been led to believe that they were top drawer. The stockbroker would get a golden handshake to fuk off and one to sign for the other bank. Everyone won, if you were the agent or the "player", but if you were the new employer, you were shafted, often sold crap for two huge signing on fees. I suspect that this is the same in football, but I might be just cynical, as we have bought our fair share of poop, that we were told would be superb.

All that is what's happening at Wolves, all them expensive players have the same agent as the manager . must be a coincidence eh? :)

10 Jan 2018 21:28:21
£7m to the agent of one Ross Barkley. nice work . presumably as he got the fee down from £40m (? ) to £15 in 6 months

10 Jan 2018 14:56:48
Please excuse the rant guys. I just don't get it.

10 Jan 2018 14:26:21
What about Izzy brown ? He was great against us last season and just returned to Chelsea! Worth a punt to either loan or buy him. I’d also be happy with Hugill.

10 Jan 2018 15:17:53
Brighton have sent him back because he's injured.

10 Jan 2018 18:00:01
Didn’t realise he was injured, my apologies

10 Jan 2018 09:59:22
Ok whoever said to go after jordan hugill, new number 1 target imo. forget the players I've previously said i wanted, this man is a goal machine. he's tall, would play brilliantly off our front 3, and he's a sniffer. Could he be any more like wood? serious talent there, i'd spend 5-7m on him in this market easily, better option than grabban or marriott

10 Jan 2018 12:19:51
I said him all along. Prob not possible but I’d love to see donaldson up front

10 Jan 2018 21:17:26
Clayton Donaldson? Noooooooo

10 Jan 2018 00:07:22
Just to say I agree with a lot of your comments and as a Leeds utd fan I'm sick to the back teeth. How the hell can we not be compete ing for a proven goal scorer like lewis grabbon its a joke we was promise ond the £.15.promiser from wood sale would be made available to buy a replacement and by the looks of things were not willing to stump up £.7.million for a proven striker at this level this lad would bag 25 goals a season no problem brilliant business MR RADZ

Marko, I’m just watching Sky Sports and Leonardo Ulloa has been put on Leicester’s transfer list, now I personally think that would be a good signing! Send Lasogga back and free up some wage money, get rid of Klich, and CB Jackson and get Ulloa, also go for Grabbon to partner Ulloa with Roofe playing behind them! We would have Le Bock, Cooper, Pontus and Ayling/Beradi at the back with Alioski, Siaz when he starts behaving, Vierra and Hernandez, now all we need is a Keeper! MOT

10 Jan 2018 03:52:31
Marko, it’s call investment mate they want the money in there bank and don’t wish to spend it unless its cheap and from never land, we will all be saying the same in in years to come a new broom doesn’t always sweep clean, as they say, and now you’ve asked the question your get post on here saying Your not A LEEDS fan,

10 Jan 2018 08:15:59
We being linked to another cast off from the German league, so guys don't think we will be looking for a striker that's ready to go or knows this league. We continue to shop in Lidl.

10 Jan 2018 12:21:57
I got some lovely boots at Lidl last week. I’ll let you know if they’re any good

10 Jan 2018 12:39:43
They will be fine for a week or two then they will call apart Yebo!

10 Jan 2018 13:11:16
I’m going to put them in the under 23 cupboard under the stairs. One for the future as they say

10 Jan 2018 13:34:47
Not sure Radz reads this site Marko but you can send him a Tweet if you know how to work the infernal thing.

10 Jan 2018 17:59:26
I'd recommend trying the boots out in Spain first!
