So Mateys our thoughts on our new signing? Mine is : could be good if! We get off his back b4 he's kicked a ball I take it Erwin will be surplus to requirements now never really got a run to find out how good he could be same as our young winger botaka.

Oh, and he's got nice hair! 😉.

Signing players, sorting out back of house, season ticket deal, ex prem manager, praise from george, my optomistic side is starting to shine through.

I don't know if I'm to bothered about bridcutt signing as he's more a defensive player would rather a creative player.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Never underestimate value of quality defensive midfielder able to tackle break up play pass for 90 minutes. I'd pay up to 1.75m for Bridcutt. Good player. Mistake not to bring him back imo.

every good team needs one. made a big difference last season, sign him please MC.

George. That's very generous of you. I definitely think your financial contribution will help Massimo to sign him! Thanks on behalf of us all. Any other players you are prepared to finance?

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 20:02:07
I know he's not a bad player just wondering if we could find someone for same money with just that little bit more going forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 20:28:20
Very precise valuation George.
Are you sure you wouldn't go to £1.76m? 😉.

If I said 1.5m, would you have said 1.51m?

Messi just out of my reach unless he arrived on loan. I always have 450k a week lying around somewhere.

Just seen people slagging this Swedish player off on Twitter. He's not even completed his deal yet, what is wrong with our fans!

I'd rather judge a player once he's had a chance to wear the shirt and demonstrate what he can do.

Sad today but some of our fans need to take a long look at themselves and grow up!

Meant to say 'sad to say' and not 'sad today', flipping auto correct.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 18:00:11
Totally agree OD, very sad indeed. I've only seen him play, like most of the so called fans on twitter I imagine, on youtube. How can you judge a player before you've seen him play full games? If only scouting was as easy as that, all teams would be saving a lot of money.
Hope he turns out to be a gem and can't see him being a bench warmer at £2m plus add ons.

Danny it's unreal the pessimism of some fans like I said in my earlier post. The new sponsors new manager a new striker and more signings to come. How fans of other clubs would love this sort of news. There a football fans looking at papers and online and seeing nothing. And some of ours go ah well we'll see.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 21:17:45
Danny mate everyone is entitled to their opinion. As am i. And they are all idiots.

Two players we might want to look at are the released Everton duo Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman. Both free. Both ex-internationals. Only drawback is each of their respective birthdays falls on Cellino's most hated number.

They would be more than adequate at this level and at a minimum good squad additions.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

21 Jun 2016 21:02:06
Everytime someone mentions ex prem players leaving on a free and worth a punt etc. You shoot em down about wages etc. Well George with no integrity how you going to explain this blip then?

21 Jun 2016 21:20:07
Birthdays?
Some people should get out more.

He won't reply, and m.
Never does when in stuck.
Alright georgy boy.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 23:01:55
And m

I have in past said wages as an obvious impediment but there seems to be a little more money swishing around in the Cellino melting pot and since it seems he is trying to get promoted this season why not consider these 2 players?

The tide is changing and if Cellino makes me happy with good transfer business this window I'll be more positive toward him. I'd personally be looking at these 2 players but obviously you can't pay more than say 15k a week for each.

21 Jun 2016 23:02:47
Sorry Cork you were saying something about my lack of reply?

Oxford want 3 million for Roofe. C'mon Massimo .

I'd have thought Cellino would have already wrapped up a deal for this player. Even at 3m still worth it.

Agree2 Disagree1

21 Jun 2016 18:02:45
£3m for Roofe!
I'd want the whole house for that much! 😂.

I figured Cellino would have done this deal already because he likes a good fiddle!

Marcus Antonsonn signs for us from Kalmar in Sweden. Fee could rise as high as 2m. 3 year deal.

I applaud this signing (rarity for me) . Let's hope he's half as good as Zlatan or Henrik.

More please Mr Cellino.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

21 Jun 2016 17:01:46
Yes George, here's hoping we've signed the next zlatan.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 16:29:13
So far so good this summer. Firstly some good investment with new sponsor both from Parkin and 32red secondly I think most are agreed a good appointment in Monk and thirdly a striker signed in the region of 2 million. Surely these are positive things for Leeds United. George and cellino haters care to comment.

See above wex.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 17:25:56
Can't argue with the fact that a player has been signed and with the transfer fee possibly rising £2m suggests a player with potential. Hopefully some investment in a balance of experienced players and some more with potential coupled with keeping Taylor and Cook. If this happens Wex we will be queuing up to help build your shrine to Cellino.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 18:15:46
Notts any positives in bringing in investment and manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 18:42:32
Absolutely Wex however what Cellino gives with one hand he takes away with the other. Isn't Lucy Ward's settlement to be decided today?

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 19:50:39
Lucy Ward no loss and milked it for all it was worth. Her and her husband are bitter individuals. Redfearn showed his true colours there.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 20:20:50
Don't necessarily disagree but does not make Cellino's actions right.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 21:26:43
Wex of course they are bitter. As would I be if my employers treated me the same.

Big day at ER today where our transfer plans for this season will be all resolved and multiple bids will soon be made for our top targets.

Is anyone else feeling a tad underwhelmed or is it just me? I'm waiting for a statement, like 'meeting postponed for a week' or just no news at all.

Fingers crossed there's some good news by the end of the day.

MM.

Yes MM a big day for LUFC! Even more important than some stay or leave nonsense that seems to be irritating people at the moment! 😂 No the real important issue today will be will Massimo's had REMAIN in his pocket? or will it LEAVE his pocket clutching approx £15 million on the table, I know where my votes going! 😂 😎 peace fellow Leeds sufferers.
