For god sake everyone can see we need a striker who can put the ball in the net and someone to provide it, we may have more than enough on the books in them positions but
WE can't SCORE GOALS
Sort it out!
Pay the rubbish off and start again Leeds!

Ketlufc

I totally agree with this post, we played really well but just couldn't score it's abit like the same old story c'mon gfh surely you can scrape up a few quid for Brian for another proven goal scorer ASAP please.

Send us the funds to pay them off then or just shut up.

'Paying them off' would mean we still had no money, but we would also have no players

I'd currently rather have a full squad of average players than playing someone out of position because we have released too many, be realistic and think about the long term. New era and time to be proud to be a leed fan once again. We all know this isn't going to be a wonder season but we also know this is a regeneration and a new chapter of lufc that I am excited to be part of.

Lost 2-0 but didn't embarrass ourselves. Now onto Millwall where we can get our season back on track

Well said we all need to keep the faith and back mcdermott and the lads all the way

1 shot on target infront of over 5k fans I find that embarrasing. Brian do you understand why team use wide play now?

Poor old BMD. looks like he's been asked to polish a turd working with Leeds. is it all looking that different to the past few years.

I get your point buddy biut I'm pretty fed up with all this hands tied rubbish, its been evident for quite some time what our team is lacking and frankly nothing has been done to adress this, all we've done really its loaded up on average to poor forwards

Get yourself down to Elland Road and let's see if can polish you as well

All this talk about a premiership striker coming, then Fryat is mentioned??
Ok he plays for Hull, and yes he`s pretty decent, but just a play on words to make it sound like V Persie is on his way. lol
Has Fryat actually played prem football?

Would the powers that be at GFH and LUFC please sign a new striker by Friday.

Fifa 14 is being released and I want ensure I can start with the correct squad.

I will be signing Mackay-Steven and Berahino / Guidetti in the game and probably try and get Scott carson back because no doubt I will have some money to spend. Normally around £3mil.

Cool thing is Pugh, Norris and Drury will be sold within a week (game time)

Ha what a quality comment!

Luckily it's 4 million this year. The first thing I will be doing is signing bentley as a free agent. I might also sign Callum Harriot from charlton and craig makail smith

Fifa ain't too good for free signings, couldn't find Vassell or Reo-coker. Although Forsell was available, hmmmmmmm.

Quality post and if budget is 4m this will be better than the last couple of years. Guess I can't sell any recent signings that rhyme with Punt

Yeah I hope that has changed. Last season it was impossible to do a good career mode with leeds. Couldn't sell any players and only had 2 million

Last year, pretty much half the squad was new, so couldn't sell anyone.

Only 4 additions this year so it will be easier to get rid of the dead weight and free up some wages. Thw three I mentioned above will be top of the list.

I will even play the current tactics, although by Jan I will probably revert to form (4-2-1-3)

2mil is enough, especially if you manage to get rid of the players you need.

High profile striker on the books of a PL club, dropping down a division to a big club to get a lot of games = Nicklas Bendtner

Been doing the rounds a lot this morning with colleagues of mine, what does everyone else think?

Personally I think the guy is a nutter, but, he would be very good in this league! But (yes another) I am not sure arsenal will let him go out with them being abit thin up front unless 24gr8 recall was in the deal and then that wouldn't suit us!

Didn't he proclaim himself as the best forward in the world at one point aha, he's playing for arsenal tonight I think they will probably keep hold of him for that squad depth for cup games etc

Absolutely agree with last post. If its TRUE that gfh have told bmd that he has money for players. Bentley is just what we are missing. So why doesn't he do something about it? Losing a bit of faith in him. And with hunt playing as he is at moment. Seems a bit like Warnock. Jobs for the boys!

il chuck another name in the hat who I think would be perfect for us.
jay rodreigez from southampton.
with there others strikers he isn't getting a look in .shrew leeds

Not sure where you are getting your info from but he has been playing most games and is seen as a major factor this season

25 Sep 2013 13:09:57
Rumours circulating or just fans wish lists I don't know but the striker joining us on loan could be City starlet John Gudetti. The 20 year old is way down the pecking order at city and has been on loan to Feyenoord and Burnley during the past couple of seasons.

Phil Buckingham, writer for Hull Daily Mail, points out that while Fryatt may be proven in Champioship he's not scored in 17 months. DavisStevo MOT

He's had a serious achilles injury that's the main reason why he hasn't scored in that time

Looking at Fryatts stats, he averages 1 in 3 games. Is that good enough for us, or do we require someone more prolific.

I can't see what's wrong with 1 in 3. Were a championship team and can hardly attract a Ronaldo or Messi now can we.

Maths answer would be. 46 games in the league. 15 league goals and a few goals in cup would be a 18-20 goals tally for the season

If someone would have said that Varney will get you 20 goals this season as well as the usual 10-14 goals McCormack will pick up we wouldn't be in the hunt for a striker right now

Where not really going to get better than him at this stage of the season his record his better than the strikers we have at the club

Poster 2, exactly what I was going to say :)

I guess that's a fair point and the difference in 1 in 3 and 1 in 2 ain't that much and as long as ther others chip in we will be ok.

Just want to make sure we get the right guy in, becasue its apparent we only have one shot at this (signing a striker).

Poster number 2 here. I'm guessing that poster number 5 is the original poster.

I just wanted to say my reply wasn't aimed at you in the sense I don't think you know what your talking about (far from it) you asked a good question to be fair.

What I would say is though I don't think that Fryatt is the best target to be aiming for, there must be better players out there from Premiership squads who have a similar record who could make more of an impact on the pitch.

Brian knows what he is doing guys. It's good to see a manager in charge of our club who is using his head rather than like Warnock and Grayson did where they bring people in that are terrible on long contracts who we wouldn't be able to give away let alone demand a transfer fee for later down the line.

This season is all about Brian learning about his squad making a few key additions then next summer binning all the crap of the wage bill and bringing in quality to get us to Premiership

have faith guys.
