What's the feeling for the rumours about Roooooooofe leaving? Personally, I like the lad, not the quickest but I reckon he's the best close controller of the ball we have and I hope Bub can fit him in

I like the lad too Al, but if his transfer gave us either Vydra or Hernandez I’d bite your arm off. Roberts is also the forgotten man this season for obvious reasons so if he’s also back fit and showing his potential then the Toofe decision is an easy one for me.

Agree AL. He's developing nicely, and under Bielsa has the opportunity the really step up a level or two more. He's a defo keep for me!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jun 2018 20:18:08
If we are to play Bielsa's fast paced, high pressing game we will need a long roster to last out the season. So that and the fact that I think Roofe has even more to offer than last season, which wasn't the worst by any measure, means I am keen to see him stay

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't really know how good Roofe and some of the other players can be because they have been mostly played out of position or not given a fair chance in what has been a poor team. I would like to them given that chance.

Need to keep roofe, think he was one of the players who did try last season and he is improving from the previous season. Plenty in front of him to be shown the door!

Agree1 Disagree0

Think Bielsa will improve a few of the players especially the young ones. If they are good enough they will stay but i don't expect him to please everyone with his choices.

Agree Mezzer, he did try which is more than can be said for many others. If we sign some of the players we are being linked with he may well improve playing alongside them and hopefully get better coaching from the new Manager and his Staff.

Mr Radrizzanis Eleven Sports signs tv rights deal in Myanmar. Surprise?

Easy to see that AR didn't make his millions by playing the lottery

As Eleven Sports is making some serious brass maybe they should buy the naming rights to ER. I think the LS Eleven Sports, Elland Rd sounds not too bad, and they could pay a paltry amount, like £50M. That would nicely ;)

One way of getting money into the coffers without falling foul of the FFP rules. Good idea AL

So our owner was using LUFC to get his deal in Myanmar although he said no financial gain to be made from the tour.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2018 07:56:22
No surprise at all why else would we have gone. Agree with Al he should find a way to invest some of the money he makes from the deal into the club as we were obviously part of the deal.

Radz is a business man and Leeds Utd are just another part of his business. He doesn't think like a fan, obviously needs Leeds to do well but will only be around for as long as it works for him. That is no way meant in a disrepective way to him just a honest assessment.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2018 10:33:55
He didn't lie, just wasn't honest

Just reading Vydra 11mil plus wages (now 30k/week) . I know I hate myself for saying it but What would you get Europe/S America for that sort of money. Don't get me wrong if buying Vydra guarantees promotion (or even play offs) then I would say go for it but I do not want finances stretched on what is, always, a gamble. Look what happened the last time we gambled and also the trouble some teams now find themselves in. Yes I know I sound like a wimp but I believe in Radrizzanis 5 year plan and feel that he is being pressured for instant success into trying to buy it, when we have seen historically that mostly it just does not work. All I am saying is that somewhere between Vydra and Mbakogu is the answer.

You have to gamble or stay in the same place, football is a gamble, you have to complete with other teams otherwise what’s the point also what’s the point of paying two million on a manager if he can’t or doesn’t get given the tools to do the job,

Vydra no gamble wanted him a couple of seasons ago, prolific proven goal scorer, be devastating with Saiz.

Agree0 Disagree1

22 Jun 2018 14:27:29
Still not convinced of this particular finanacial gamble merely saying what everyone acknowledges is like for like players come cheaper abroad. By the way any new buy could have his wages paid by the saving on Mkabogu. Radz do us all a fovour and just let it lapse.

Agree leodis. Some don’t get business.

Agree0 Disagree2

22 Jun 2018 16:40:37
Gotta agree, in part Leodis, in that it seems a total turnaround, a lot to throw in on one player, versus the likes of Hernandez on a free plus wages, but find myself agreeing with Whiteman too! If we've now assigned the right man, then let's go full hog, and give him the tools to do the job. Another 3 signings of similar quality, and we will be right in the mix!

22 Jun 2018 16:44:43
Oh, but yes, totally agree re mbopbapadadoowop.

Ausman, I have my own business and it don’t run on old equipment, you have to invest money in it, that's business, no equipment your men can’t work, you can’t work it’s that easy, can’t understand how you can’t see that or is it so different over there Mind you some can’t see it over here

I'm sure Bub will get the players in that he wants, not much point us saying we need him, or him or him. Whichever suits his formation is the best one to get :)

Whiteman never thought I'd say this but agree 100% with your first post!

4king, wow that great, glad someone understands it

22 Jun 2018 20:25:53
Less of a gamble to invest in a player proven at this level and in this competition than taking a punt on someone who may transition - or not. Had enough of those over the years. Foreshaw is a good example of what going for the known can bring.

I hope it's Hernandez or Vydra because I Don't even know how to start to pronounce Awopboppaloobop's name ;)
