Well Danum the gap is now down to just 3 points ( it was 11 points) and lots of teams are close behind . without signings Leeds may not even finish in the top 6.

We still have to be thankful for positive results in our favour.
I think we are in for a big 7 days, starting with the signing of Poveda tonight / tomorrow, and another one at least to follow!

Sky reporting we hope to get poveda done by the end of the week! Wasn’t that stated last week as well! Move on, he’s not what we need . No final product with the kid. I kind of get the feeling the club are just blowing smoke up the fans arses in this transfer window, all smoke n mirrors and we will end up getting nobody in, certainly don’t think we will get Bowan or Gray.

Think Rads is only offering £20m in the knowledge it will be turned down.
Trying to make it look like he is willing to spend big.
He would get a big fright if Southampton turned around and said " we will take your money".
There would be some spluttering then!
Whats that old saying " don't listen to what he says, look at what he does"
Sold £60m worth of players, sold a stake in the club for £10m.
Arranged a £30m loan facility for Group Holdings.
Invested no money in transfers for players.
Only loans and loans to buy
3 weeks into the window and no quality added.
Trying not to appear too harsh and would love to see investment in the squad, rather than risking messing up 2 years in a row. Hopefully we will all get a great big surprise.

Perfect post 1970 you are without doubt one of the best posters on here . always spot on with your posts
I predicted at the start of this window that Radz and Orta just like last January window would NOT actually sign any outfield players in this January transfer window.
It continues to be hugely suspicious that Radz and Orta continue to persist in trying to ONLY sign a player Che Adams that they know is NOT available
. rather than sign players who actually are available.

Sorry mate but a ridiculous comment.
What would he say if they accepted the bid?
“I was only pulling your leg”?
Personally not even sure that offer was made.

22 Jan 2020 20:22:28
Well Corky . what is truly ridiculous is that any club let alone a club supposedly striving to obtain promotion to PL has just one forward in its first team squad rather than the standard, required 3 or 4 .

22 Jan 2020 20:44:28
True vid. What do you reckon Leeds should do? Buy any ole striker? I’m not an expert but pretty sure any signing especially a big money one takes time. Lots of premiership clubs have been actively trying to buy certain players but with clubs wanting more cash and agents involved it’s not easy.
We are short two strikers imo but it’s amazing nobody said we were short when Eddie was still at the club.

22 Jan 2020 21:26:37
Have you early onset Alzheimer's Cork? A lot of us wanted Eddie. to get games ( full games ) when paddy first started drawing a blank earlier in season , then some fans suggested maybe just maybe incorporating both strikers into team. sheet .
A lot on here slagged us of for suggesting that, saying it was madness to even question Marcelo
Also the window only opens in January so . with that in mind our 3 stooges have known since late November, Eddie was going back yet here we are Jan 22 with 1 striker
How come Dortmund can sign, integrate and have score, a player in about 10 days of the window opening, yet you reckon it's very hard to do it.
Agree2

22 Jan 2020 21:55:30
So you reckon Dortmund wrapped up that deal in a few days? Do me a favour pal. And who the eff told you Leeds new Eddie was going back in November? Unbelievable nonsense you are talking.
Agree2
Disagree0
22 Jan 2020 23:07:18
No they didn't but they acted immediately when the window opened whilst here Leeds are 22 days into same window have today been told jog on from prime candidate.
Secondly are you seriously of the belief that Leeds only knew when we played baggies that Eddie was returning, when the dogs on the road knew it was going to happen all along?
Of course protocol was enacted to make Leeds aware Arsenal were taking him back long before they physically did .
So I KNOW THAT ANSWERS, your questions without the nonsense you imply.

Who or what is our scouting network, I know it was the 90s but 3.4 for yeboah, 2 for Jimmy F, Big Phil and Lucas, peanuts, loan to buy for prem players who can't do it in the prem, so if we go up, average players on silly money, still think kodja could be a deal, but not loan to buy.

Bookies have Leeds odds on at 1/ 3 to sign Andre Gray, does that mean it's likely to happen or just that lots of people have bet on it happening?
Celtic want £12m for Lee Griffiths, tell us another, we want born in a field.
Saying that we offered £20m + loan fee for a PL striker yet to score a Premier League goal, even Bamford has 1 PL goal I think.

For the Adams money (£20m) we could get Vydra and Gray (£12m for both) and still have £8m to get some more in.
Adams a player who cannot get a game ahead of Shane (never scores) Long at Southampton, he is not even able to hold down a premier league place and we are prepared to pay £20m.
Move on, quickly, it could be a lucky break.
We could get Wood, Saiz and Pontus back for £20m.

3rd bid turned down. £20 m in summer if promoted. For adams. Move on and use the money for Bowen. I'd rather pay that for Bowen I feel. Saints know we look desperate to get adams and holding out for more cash. Sod them. GET BOWEN NOW. ! think he's a more natural finisher. And him up front with bam bam Could be the answer too all our prayers 👍⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️.

This Striker search is doing my head in. I'm off sick feeling pretty crap as it is and i could do with cheering up.
Who fancies the next chapter of
"50 Goals of Gray".
So there i was sitting there, fantasizing of 4 or 5 goals, the air was thick with the smell of fosters and pie, it was making me all tingly. Just removing himself from the tunnel i saw him, the one we dream of "Andre".
I'm now nervous, what's he going to do? He then struts up towards me, balls in hand, ready to use his skills, i was salivating at thought of a good thrashing. It then started the whistle blew, i knew this as code for the balls to stop instantly for anything not in the rules.
Stay tuned to the next chapter.
