Alright lads, news coming from the club, they want us Leeds fans to email the club their designs of a club badge and they'll be a vote and a decision made by club, and Leeds united panels or something, then they'll release a shortlist for members and season ticket holders to make a decision on what will be our badge next season and we'll find out end of next month. So lads, if you want your dream badge, get your crayons out.

Can someone please explain to me why, once again, aren't going to strengthen the first team in January? The only reason I can think of is that Orta has a huge bet on us finishing mid table

True alf
But astonishing that the $23 from sales and the $20 promised is gone. You got to wonder if radz has balls. Allowing orta to spend all that money on prob 80-90% rubbish. Does he own leeds or not. He is boss. Its about time he acts like one. Eject orta and tc.

80-90% RUBBISH? They have tied down jansson, ayling, cooper, okane, and dallas all to 4 year deals. Phillips and vieira looking to renew at the end of the year, 1 year extension for pablo, for me that's crucial keeping the remains of the good players we've got. That costs money, ER costs money. De bock, forshaw, and saiz is best part of 9m, think that's a statement in itself, signing players from hamburg who have a 9 in 15 goal to game record is hardly bad. Orta has signed a lot of youth which yeah probably won't get us promoted this season, but will be useful either inancially within the next 3 years. If they're playing vieira whos 19 its only a matter of time before clarke, rey, struijk, all come through and are making the first team. They are all seeing longer term. I think in a few years, maybe even next season, a lot of you calling for ortas head will be surprised. I can't believe radz is getting as much backlash as cellino did for free firing managers. Never happy you lot, we sign a striker and itll be a complete different mood about camp, or roofe or lassoga comes in with the goals and were laughing. Its not all doom and gloom, for all you saying its a mid table finish, we've got saiz, if anything is going to push us through its that lad, he will come back fit as a fiddle and dying to play, and i expect better from him that what we've already seen. This team can make the play offs, and its certainly not too late, let's see what spain has done.

Ausman, it’s one for you and one for me, or should I say 23 million for the club and 23 million in the pockets of the investors. Now you see it now you don’t it a good game really.

Saw on one of the sites today claiming the Wood and Taylor money, £23million has all been spent. Well if that is the case Orta and Co need to go now because they have completely had Rads over with the poor quality of some of the players these funds have been spent on . They need reporting to the old bill as con artists . Also Rads said there was a big transfer kitty (£20M) in place besides the Wood etc money and the money to buy the ground was also separate to that transfer Kitty . So if reports are to be believed we currently have a squad that they have spent in excess of £43m on. Really think we should keep Saiz and get our money back for the rest . Even half our money back would be better than some of the garbage we have ended up with. Somebody might end up sleeping with the fishes

If we continue to buy these second rate players it will result in our losing our best players. They must be as frustrated as the fans at with the lack of ambition the club is showing. AR must change direction and get rid of Orta.

Wotheeck I think your been unfair Orta doing a very good job buying the best players he can on a small budget, he has to put some in his pocket after all.

Official from LUFC. Designs being submitted will be narrowed down to a top list and put to a vote by real fans for 21st February. Winning crest to be announced a week later. Smart move Radz. Leave crest to people with taste. Maybe after you appoint one of us (not Berm) as transfer market consultation officer. That would be an upgrade on what you currently have even if you do plump for Ausman.

29 Jan 2018 21:27:10
Agree George, more like it regarding the crest, should have done that in the first place tbh, But fair play they have done the right thing now we will get the crest chosen and designed by the proper channels now, they were naive in the process also think its a naivety playing a role in the recruitment as i am convinced Orta cannot spot a player/potential, he struck lucky with Saiz but that's about it, for me the jury is out on alioski and lassoga on the basis of not being up to the task of the championship too lightweight not fit enough or consistent enough regarding lassoga so if you consider his success previously at boro and how its panning out so far for us Victor should step aside its clearly not working and Radz is being ill advised, let's hope the new lad forshaw cuts him some slack, certainly hope so for the sake of what's left of our chances for the season

Sorry Mr Orta but the bargain basement signings you are chasing such as Mbakogu will not get this great club back to the Premier League. As I have said before it is quality not quantity that is required. Show some ambition or get out. We still have a chance to do something this season, but we need better players than we have now to improve the squad.

My advise to Victor Orta take gardening leave and go to Specsavers.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

29 Jan 2018 15:32:24
Hope we don't get Mbakogu. After watching vids and talking to my Italian friends the best I can get is "he's okay". I do not want okay we already have that.

Agreed, there’s not much on YouTube etcbut what there is isn’t exactly great ! Not sure the ambition of “Orta and the board” actually matches that of the fans, we are so close to the play offs and 2nd is still there for the taking but no real investment at all AGAIN. Bewildering to be honest.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Jan 2018 17:07:15
Dleedsm If 6th has gone, 2nd has gone. I keep telling people it's nothing to do with ambition. It's method. The abandoned disaster of the new badge is proof Radz and Orta don't know what they're doing. We already know TC don't either but he gets a pass because he is on a learning curve. Orta and Radz is a different story. They Orta know better. Method is the problem here guys. We have yet more water into wine merchants. If only they'd keep it simple and buy steely British Isles based quality the better off we'd be. 2nd should've been ours with a straightforward recruitment process but it's not happening and doesn't look like happening anytime soon.

29 Jan 2018 19:22:51
Absolutely agree George lad. All these “top talents” their buying for the under 23’s well their doing pee poor. Let’s be honest he bought back Elland Rd for himself to add value to his investment and played the PR game “it’s for the fans” etc etc. I honestbelieve the crest dibarcle last week was a PR stunt. GET RID OF ORTA AND LET THE MANAGER/coach buy players he wants.

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Jan 2018 15:15:26
Hey guys Think Orta should be held accountable for his recruitment and be put in the hotseat of a press conference especially in the windows that would not happen of course but if it were what question would you put to him? Mine would be Victor! Have you ever considered Optical express? Amazing the lazer eye treatment you can get to improve your vision these days, plus you get £200 for refering someone 😁 not to be sniffed at that 😎 MOT brothers

Believable4 Unbelievable0

DJ Victor would say I tried to sign that optical express but felt his age was against him and not fit in with our future model. Looking at his team mate Rose tinted though!

The noises coming out of Carpi and ER, is that the sound of trench digging. Let's just go with what we've got. Let the squad prove what many believe. That we are good enough for play offs and then let's see what the summer brings. I have no problem with that philosophy providing we keep what we have and build on it in the next window. Hope we have Pontus and Samu nailed down to a 100mil release clause?

Believable6 Unbelievable2

29 Jan 2018 23:52:28
Don't think we are any better than about 10th or 12th and don't think they will be here next season. Love Pontus but I'm not sure he is that great. Only stands out in this team because he is surrounded by mediocrity

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2018 13:22:28
Just looked at next 4 fixtures. Despite my usual optimism, Wouldn't be surprised if we only got 3 or 4 from 12 points, unless we sign a couple more - not for the futures.

I’d take Vibe and this Nigerian kid from Capri! Think Hugill is a tad over priced and I guess we can’t match the wages for the likes of Grabbon etc. Just a stark reminder of where we are at.

29 Jan 2018 11:31:24
English players over rated once again. mbakogu 8 goals 2 assists in 14 starts this year in second division. could be good. vibe 7 in 14 with 1 assist. both good options, think mbakogu could be better though, fee looking to be around 3m. when considering roofe was 3m, could be a steal. wied, bera, jansson, cooper, de bock, forshaw, vieira, roofe, saiz, hernandez, mbakogu. bench of dallas, shaun, phillips, alioski, lasogga, okane, lons

Mbak if we get will replace lassy.

29 Jan 2018 13:46:10
If we sign the guy from Capri, it will not be until the summer. Looks like we settling for what we got for now. let's hope we can keep 11 men on the pitch in future. don't think the run in is going to be very plesant to watch.

Ripped off paying £3m for Roofe

29 Jan 2018 15:43:53
Roofe is developing, and will be an excellent player. Look at how much he's moved on, since signing!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2018 15:48:52
I'd rather pay that bit more for a British player who knows the division than cheap Serie B players that is well below the standard of the championship we've had all this before and it doesn't work.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2018 16:12:27
Agree with Bright about Roofe, think he is improving and will get better.

The next 2 games will sort our season out lose them and mid table finish. Win and we are back in the mix, let hope for the 6 points needed to challenge again. MOT
