Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

With radz saying he is worried we won't be able to compete financially next year, that says to me that he has spent on transfers. That, the ones for the future are the ones that are supposed to come good in the 5 yr plan. Bit of a worry. Think janson ( no big loss ) and saiz will need to be sold to fund 4-5 newbees. I am begining to get a bit worried about radz. He has done a lot of good but now everytime he opens his mouth it says to me he dosent know football and is sinking fast.

Worse case scenario next year no money. Okay then let's see how good Orta really is. Play the kids. Try to keep Samu and Pontus, maybe bring in one name but promote from within. Starting with Pearce this weekend we seemingly have a few who are knocking on the door.

Cooper stays on his feet even if he kicks out. Not as talented as janson. But janson is a wuss. Scaredy cat. Falls over rhather than be counted. Moans at ref rather than take responsibilty and be a man.

WHAT! Ausman mate, while I always like your posts surely to god you can’t be serious about Pontus! Martyn is spot on and for you to say he falls over and is a coward but then you support Siaz the spitter is beyond me mate! Siaz and Alioski are always in their backside and neither one can tackle and to put Pontus in the coward bracket is totally untrue.

He's rubbish Aus, just saying it as I see it, only missed 2 away games all season and what I see of him and others are players who are way short of championship standard, o'kane, Pennington, cooper, Phillips, sacko, cibiski, Grot, felix, still unsure on lassoga and alioski as they flatter to deceive more often than not. doesn't leave us much does it? . that's just an honest opinion of what I have seen this season. and what's happened to Viera? . he seems to get knocked off they ball easily now, gets caught wrong side of his man all the time but more worryingly is he doesn't seem to be able to pass the ball over 5 yards without giving it away

This is one of the pressures of being a manager, to weigh up, in the remaining games and on the training pitch the merits of every player on the payroll. Then decide who he wants. There will be straight yes to some but it seems there will be many others that he will have to decide if he can turn them around. If he thinks that there is more in there to come out. That's the hard list and the big gamble. Then there's the waste of space list, easy, get rid. We can offer him our lists (and we will) but the point is, only he and his team know the whole picture. Only he and his team live or die by those lists. So we have to, again, put our faith in the Manger of our team and back his judgement. We have to, again, live in hope and again; March On Together.

Nobody martyn, we won't be able to offload any as they are all on decent contracts, and that's why I believe we will be in big trouble moving forward. if we need to sell to buy how many genuine saleable assets do we have 4-5?. if we sell them do we then start from scratch? . and if so who decides what players to buy with the money raised from them? . like I say, it's worrying, hiw people can disagree all them players I listed are below average beggars belief. we are 13th and lucky to be there if we are honest

Ok, I know opinions are mixed on Radz' rants re Wolves, but I wanna put that to one side, ish. How the hell have parts of a confidential communication to the EFL and FA fallen into the hands of Sly Sports Spews? I know he's made statements in the media, but for actual quotes from a letter to be leaked just shows how corrupt these organisations are, surely?

Bright, it is disturbing how the letter appears to have been leaked but sky sports news are backing AR. A quote from them:
Sly Sports News has spoken to several Championship clubs who share Radrizzanis concerns, and called on EFL and FA to investigate further. With them publicising it then maybe EFL and FA will have to act.

Rads says that TC did not make use of all the squad and played most of the same players in the 4 Xmas period fixtures, causing them to burn out, which undermined the unplayed squad players confidence, which in turn led to our defeat at Newport. I have news for you Rads these players were not played because TC had no confidence in these players, as they are not good enough and that is yours and Ortas fault. Furthermore they, Hecks and Rads, are already saying that next year promotion will be difficult because we cannot compete financially. Throwing the towel in before we even start. You have the best support in the country and are making excuses already. If you think that you are not up to it move on and let somebody have a go who thinks they can compete. Next season will be Rads 3rd season involved in the club and by September he will have had 3 full transfer windows to get in the players needed . Think it is getting close to make or break for Rads

Lads, none of our owners were Leeds fans before they bought the club. The club is a business to to make money for them. Look at 15 clubs in the premier that are lesser clubs than us. We have been very badly run for the best part of 20 years and sorry to say that does not look like changing anytime soon under Rads. So fed up looking at poor performances and getting beat by clubs that we should not loose to. There have been too many false dawns.

Don't know what to make of Heckys comments on Ideguchi. On the one hand he is right the player should be forcing his way into the team but if there is a problem he is our player. It is our problem. It would seem he does not know what is going on. Either go see him or get him over here. He is not playing so what damage can be done? It may be that he is just homesick. Young kid away from home. I bet they don't get much Spanish lessons in Japanese schools. We don't know if he just trains then goes home and stares at 4 walls. This may well have ramifications on him for next season. For goodness sake someone sort it out.

Long term contracts as with most business decisions is a gamble but one worth taking with one major caveat; you have to be sure that the player you are investing time and money in is worth the commitment. It is not a contract to enter into on the back of a blind gamble or lack of homework rather a shorter contract with an agreed option to renew at a set figure after one season. This then gives the player the incentive to show his worth and the club the peace of mind to renew or release after the shorter initial contract expires. I believe that Radz saw the wisdom of tying players down but was let down by the advice of his recruiting dept. Catching too many dead fish in his nets. Having his fingers burnt may make him think twice when hiring new players and if he goes that way is setting himself up for rough diamonds being polished and then walking away for peanuts at the end of their contract. No, I think long contracts are the way to go but, Mr Rarizzani, be very carefull who you take advice from.

The Ideguchi decision is looking even more wrong (can't think of the best word to describe this mess) and hurting for everyone. Just reading that his value will probably not be rocketing as he lights up the World Cup as his manager has not even picked him in the squad for Japans two warm up friendlies. How must that poor boy be feeling? I bet he wishes he had never even heard of Leeds United. For goodness sake Radz/Orta bring him home. Show some TLC and ask him to forgive us.

15 Mar 2018 20:35:26
From everything I saw before the signing, there were worries about him being granted a work permit? So before signing him, we put a loan agreement in place, gambling that he would appear in the World Cup enough times for the permit to be a formality. Then by buggeration, he gets a permit, but the loans deal was already in place? Could be just conspiracy theories, but I've read it in several places.
Agree0
Disagree0
15 Mar 2018 21:11:58
You are possibly right with the loan deal being already in place but the logic of the situation is that if he is not getting game time and/or his head is not right the what good is he to CL. So, again. Bring him home.
