According to Hay Southampton want 1mill up front for loan for Adams with a commitment to buy for 10mill at end of loan. Doable so let's get going.

Just read that, and theyโ€™re also ignoring the gaffers wishes. Letโ€™s do it!
Also read, but taken with a cup of Salt, that we are increasing our offer for Bowen, to an overall package of ยฃ18million. Maybe the ยฃ30 mill loan move is going to reap rewards?
Boro fans, responding to the assmombaladingoba rumours are asking for Bam back in exchange! World has gone mad, I tell thee!

I think that is exactly what it will depend on BB.

. Err lol George are you referring to today's 3rd REJECTED bid for Che Adams!

It is weird though because it seems that the Southampton board, their fans and in reality their manager no longer rate Adams (certainly at PL level. ) . yet they are keeping him.

. however a very dangerous similar Dan James type scenario fiasco is brewing if Radz and Orta are waiting in vain on Southampton to sign another striker for Southampton to agree to let Adams go.
There are far too many uncertainties.

. It is imperative that Leeds sign a striker and must not end up empty handed again in tne January window. just 9 days remaining.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:56:17
Absolutely spot on from Ian Wright on 5 Live last night:

"This is the time for Leeds fans, you've got to be more supportive of those guys. They're feeling it, they're feeling it from you as well and they've got to start channelling some positivity to those guys, otherwise it's not going to happen. They're nervous. They're not positive and they need to stop being so toxic towards them. ".

21 Jan 2020 21:29:41
But majority of Leeds fans. I dunno.

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 21:32:17
Maybe Wrighty is relaying what Eddie told him, can empathise with it to a degree

The crux of the matter is that since the Cardiff game manybLeeds fans are growing increasingly anxious and frustrated that the blueprint of last season is being repeated all over again.

Whilst it is true that Leeds fans have their part to play bringing positivity on the terraces, the people with even more POWER to bring positivity to the club are Radz and Orta by actually bringing in quality players this time in the January window

. to give the players and fans alike a much needed boost . and the team more confidence and ability to actually win games again.

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 22:34:32
It cannot be understated what is/ has been the case for the last 2 + possibly 3 games, 1 striker in a squad pushing for promotion is unheard of in professional football.

It's the executive board current ineptitude that is fueling the fans irk, not the players so much, small squad, no rotation, no options.

Leeds Utd fans will reciprocate good will from Radz with all the support possible to give a team that's a fact .16 years is too long fans have had enough of being excluded from the big time are we just expected to keep saying ah sure 1 day we MIGHT GET THERE?

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 22:45:10
A โ€œfanโ€ is someone who is enthusiastically devoted to, a team, a cause.
This does not flounder, nor fail.
This does not question, nor doubt. A fan supports, provides the necessary support required for the team or cause to succeed, by supporting.
I. B. Yoo.
Leeds Fan.

There was me thinking definition of a fan was someone who goes out into the countryside on his own pitches a tent and listens to a handheld radio device . Thanks for putting me back on track ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

We will never agree bright so let's just leave it at that, I am off to bed, night night now .

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 02:29:21
Yeah bright. Sorry but think you looked up robot not fan.
As human beings we all have opinions and passion and lots of despair in our case.
Only human to vent discourse in worrying times.
No fan or robot can be happy with a worrying habit forming called losing and keep quiet and remain confident.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 09:36:53
All Iโ€™m saying with the definition is, basically, itโ€™s not the players fault how much is invested, but they are the ones taking the flak. For the 2nd season running, they are in the best position weโ€™ve seen them for 16 years, and yet they are berated for a missed tackle, a misplaced pass, losing their man once. Letโ€™s not make it more difficult for them simply because we havenโ€™t bought another striker. They are not to blame for that. Direct it to Radz if you must.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 09:56:40
Superb Bright!

22 Jan 2020 10:14:40
Who do you think I refer to when I say executive board and when bazooka says Radz + Orta are they not the very same people that you speak of? And " simply " not signing another striker .

The board will have known now for nearly 2 months that Eddie was going yet here we are in 22Jan with 1 striker in a match day squad, and now we go into another game with the same scenario . So there's not much to be "simply " about bright .

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 13:44:47
rubbish. most were positive last year and look how that worked out? i think positivity adds to pressure. besides mentally starts in the dressing room and buck falls with the gaffer not the fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 16:43:09
Chris, Baz, I think you get me wrong. Iโ€™m not digging at you, just commenting on what Wrighty said! There is a toxic element within our fan base, both at ER and on social media, dishing out abuse to individual players and it quite clearly affect those players. No element of my comment was direcrted to you guys! Clearly, Rads, Orta, and Bielsa and the team are not reading these pages, so you can say whatever you want, itโ€™s not going to affect the team!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:07:58
Che Adams on the bench tonight for Southampton. who are currently beating Palace 1 nil.


Adams being allegedly still the number 1 target still will lead to Leeds
signing no one. maybe that is the cunning plan

. need a striker before the end of the week and certainly before the Millwall game. Leeds need the 3 points bad.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

21 Jan 2020 20:18:12
Vid Iโ€™d happily wait until the last minute as long as we get the right player/ players.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:28:01
Agreed Corky you want the right player . what we don't want is noone at all and leaving it to. deadline day is very risky . we all know what happened last January

. is Adams the only player who is right for Leeds? Surely not.

Need to pursue other options now instead of Adams cause chances of getting the Southampton manager to change his mind seem extremely unlikely to no chance at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:31:28
Saints have another 24 hrs to agree or block the deal, before we move on Baz. No need to worry yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:35:20
Agreed Vid. Iโ€™m sure Orta thinks the same.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:46:19
January his a tough month to bring in players. What Iโ€™m saying is donโ€™t over spend too much.
Whoโ€™s to say James last season would of made any difference at all?
I do agree obviously a striker is paramount but at the more or less right price. Otherwise a loan or small fee signing will do.
Personally Iโ€™m hoping for a left field signing like Tony Yeboah!

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 21:00:26
Why is it so so hard when Leeds want to do some shopping, we have lost 6 and now with the wait + lack of striker quiet possibly 9 points .
We cannot be so flippant in this league that to think those 9 points are nothing to get stressed about, because they are actually worth their weight in gold .

Why wasn't all this sorted immediately in the 1st few days in January? It's actually grating on me so badly to think all these points that are just being cast aside whilst the 3 in the office clock in +clock out. each day.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 21:25:27
What about Tom barkhuisen from Preston. Always thought heโ€™s a decent forward. Holds ball up. Can play a bit and knows wer net is. Only 26. Thought he was older tbh.
I think heโ€™s be a good fit.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 13:49:52
Chris we lost more points through not being able to defend corners, that has cost us 12-15 points to far this season and all to rivals.

Cork has lost the plot now. left feild signing like Yeboha. crazy talk he must be well in his 50's now. still guess he would make our bench.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:05:07
Question.
Who would you rather take in this transfer window if we were to sign only one player?
Bowen or Adams?
Personally I think Adams short term but Bowen maybe better in the long.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

21 Jan 2020 20:18:41
Bowen probably. Stick him up front.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:19:34
Bowen, all day long. Gives us goals from midfield and opens up defences for others to score.
PS - Very little chance of him coming, unless we pay a stupid fee Why would Hull sell a prized asset (to a competitor) in the middle of the season?

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:21:42
Agree short term Adams longer term Bowen. but no chance that Bowen will sign this window. Adams a very, very small chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 20:32:30
I agree totally Cork. Adams can take us up, then add Bowen, who can help take us forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 19:36:58
Marcus Maddison Peterborough good player scores and assists as well.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

21 Jan 2020 20:20:36
Agreed Wiggy. A cheaper version of Bowen.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 19:31:09
With our flagging fortunes as of late, just wondering whether the important people at our club are acting out their anagrams subconsciously. Last one is specially for Class ๐Ÿ˜‚ and I already know Cork will tell me to get out more.

Amicable Loser (that's our manager Bub)

Cavort Riot (his performance in the winter window to date on the verge of angering us all)

Snake Nag Ruin (Elland Road's own Iraqi Minister for Information) . He even has a suitable alternative in Snake Gain Run!

Can't be a coincidence guys. Couldn't think of one for Radz but since he don't spend any of his own money guess it don't matter.

Think you have to ask why would Hull, 6 points off a play off spot, want to sell him to a championship side. If a PL team came in for him maybe they would have a chance. Can not blame us and Brom for making the approach but never likely to happen. Just more smoke blowing.

Don't think anyone wants to win this League! If the florists win their game in hand, they'll be 3 points off the top. It's only a couple of weeks ago the bookies and pundits reckoned there were two teams guaranteed promotion, and the rest battling for the playoffs.
Let's hope we can finish in the top six, I mean lose against Millwall and they'll only be 5 points behind us! ๐Ÿคฏ.

We need to beat Millwall and wigan because after that Feb will be hard. Away to Forest, Brentford, Hull. Think next month will define how good we are. Once teams are struggling like us and Brom it gives the chasing pack impetus and lifts them. We need to crush that optimism. Can we, yes. Will we, who knows.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jan 2020 11:51:38
forest and millwall are flying

what annoys me is we smashed forest but they had one corner and scored. if only we coul efend corners we'd be at least another 4 points clear of Forest and that could make the difference

mind you it don't matter what other teams are doing. if we can't win what do we expect. recent form i think we will be lucky to scrape playoffs.
