anyone seen that story about Bouy? - we brought him in, he has never played for us, he refuses to play for us or train with us and has no desire at all to play football. he is just sitting taking a wage, travelling back and forth from Holland and we can't even get rid of him with 2 years left on his contract.
wtaf? what a waste of time and money and they can't even terminate a contract with someone who refuses to play football. He probably gets paid more than I do per week and does literally nothing. He would soon fall back in love with football if he had to serve burgers at McDonalds I can tell you. Meanwhile we are paying for another 'one for the future' that is already a has been.

If he refuses to play he'd be in breach of contract.
Club simply have to say arrive for work at x time and if he doesn't would be in breach som could terminate the contract.
Where'd the info come from?

It’s already with the legal team, or so I read, and I think there is more to it than meets the eye. He’s basically gone on strike, but will be made to pay his dues in time.

Alf, it depends on what agreement we want.
We would have the right to simply fire him, but for arguments sake let's see he wants to go to another club and we won't let him so he does his strike thing maybe we won't fire him as he could then go to the other club for free. Maybe we are not prepared to allow that.
I would assume we can simply not pay him but retain his rights if we don't fire him.

Get Bowen. He would be our best signing in years. Not an out and out striker but can score lots and set up Bamford for tap ins that even he couldn't miss. His value will go up. Get Bowen please! Get him, we go up. It's that simple to me.

Mujica has had his loan terminated as he can't score. Missed a sitter at the weekend and left the game in tears so his loan team had enough and sent him back. I think he is going out on another loan but the solution to our scoring crisis he does not sound like.
another Orta classic.

Top 10 finish for me.

23 Jan 2020 12:53:24
Fatigue for me is the biggest problem. We have 18 games left. 87 to 90 points is a realistic target for a team in this position. One who has all the credentials.
Who goes up will all come down to the last few games, so you need to be in the mix. Two decent players in the next week and the players allowed to rest up more between games and its still on.
Have the players got the bottle or will a repeat of last season be the easier option for them to take. These types of bad habits are hard to shake.
Agree0

23 Jan 2020 12:58:08
Top 2 for me, we are by far the best footballing side in the league and with a decent striker we will be fine.
The pessimism from supporters has an effect, you only have to work with someone that is negative to know how that effects others.
So what I am trying to say. We are 2nd, we can't win all the time, it is frustrating i know, but you would pay to go on a flat roller coaster would you! 😉😉😉.

Depends on whether we bring anyone in or not. At the moment top two as that is where we are and teams chasing us have not been very consistent. Brom as well not showing much of late. Could be us and Fulham or us and Brom as long as its us. A little winning run and it all turns on its head. that's why we have to start winning.

Top 2 but only if we invest in a quality striker, if not and just bamford, won’t score enough and playoff position.

23 Jan 2020 22:14:04
With quality signings including a striker possible top 2
. but could still bottle it even then it finish 3rd or 4th
No striker signing then 7th.

You would think with the implications of FFP crippling Leeds' ability to sing a proven PL striker or pay decent money to get someone in, that more emphasis would be put on bringing through/ developing players?
Gray came through for Burnley (i think) Adams through at Birmingham, Bowen's come through at Hull, we have a great academy! If we can't sign em why aren't we developing them! So frustrating.
Let's see what today brings.
Believable0

Gray joined Burnley from Brentford and probably joined Brentford from another club. Bowen started at Hereford. You raise a fair point but the examples would suggest that perhaps value and quality can be found in the lower leagues.

Costa's cost will be amortised over 4 years.
The books show that 80% of our revenue goes on wages so if that has increased this year it can easily swallow up £30mill (which will also be amortised btw - we don't get it all at once)
Agree0

23 Jan 2020 21:56:59
Would be better to ask this question on 1st Feb after the transfer window.
IF and it's a big if Leeds do actually sign a quality striker ( and a couple of others ) possible top 2 but could still bottle it to finish 3rd or 4th
Without signings 7th.
