Have to say that with all the signings so far, we should have signed two or three top class players that would have seen us this season as none of you believe we will do anything this season. if that's the case, why buy any in the first place?

07 Jul 2017 13:50:02
Top clas players on top class wages and top class fees ? Doesn't give certain success as we should know buying top class players who ended up rubbish for us. I don't think we can complain about the way rads is operating as it looks good too me so far. MOT. #believeinrads 👍⚽️😂

WUM is fishing again, don't bite.

I agree Battymatty. With a few players expected to sign very soon we should have a better squad than last year. We've only lost Bartley, Snake Junior, Ped and wheel barrow (pants) so far and strengthened with the signings we've made. We desperately need a good centre half. I'm hoping for Batth from Wolves - very experienced and decent player. I also reckon the headless chicken Sacko will have a good year this year.

Added to what we've already got, the younger first teamers improving, Dave returning which was counteracted by Bellend returning and a couple more coming through, we have a very good squad. Can't understand all the negativity, we were never seriously in for all the players mentioned in the press and on websites - they need to sell papers and attract clicks, so have trust in Radz who does his business quietly and efficiently. Down The Pints and Up The Whites! Happy Friday y'all. MM

I don't even understand the original post? What are you going on about WM?

07 Jul 2017 16:39:28
I reckon we will have a good season again and with the odds the bookies are giving so do a lot of people. Decent additions to squad and more to come. Lost Barts but not irreplacable. Optimistic, just hope we go forward playing attacking football and less of the nailbiting finishes.

Whitey, your post wins the title of the most nonsensical ever. Since oneleeds used to hold that honour maybe you ought to consider it an achievement.

07 Jul 2017 19:42:09
Great post George. Your best of the new season so far 😁

07 Jul 2017 21:33:57
George it's great your back.

07 Jul 2017 21:45:18
Welshwhite big signings on big wages worked wonders for villa last season didn't it?

07 Jul 2017 21:50:26
Speedy that's your most predictable post this season

08 Jul 2017 09:19:56
Thanks wex. I'm feeling the positivity for the coming season.

07 Jul 2017 11:54:22
Where does everyone think Anita will fit into our system, me thinks he'd by the holding midfielder instead of Bridcutt, and have Klich and hopefully Saiz alongside him. Any thoughts?

07 Jul 2017 12:11:00
i read that our interest was based on his ability to play in defence

07 Jul 2017 12:26:20
I think he said he prefers RB but can play LB too

07 Jul 2017 12:32:40
It's an interesting one, he fits in with one of 3 very versatile defenders we have. He could play LB, with ayling and Pontus at CB and berardi at RB? He could also play RB swapping with Berardi, or he could play holding midfield, with klich and Vieira just in front of him? Who knows, expect to see Dave played in CB against ferriby. I really like this signing

07 Jul 2017 12:35:14
Hard to say where he will play until we see formation we are going to play. Would expect him to be playing on left somewhere as that is where we are short and not being linked with any left wingers

07 Jul 2017 14:43:03
could be a good wingback? supposed to be fast, good at dribbling and creates chances but can also play in defence. Maybe TC is thinking of changing his preferred 4-3-3 for a 5-2-3? if so, we need a few more centre backs.

07 Jul 2017 16:46:49
Can see him being the new Paul Madeley. He will be a utility player used across 3 positions. DM, LM, LB.

07 Jul 2017 21:47:54
I think our midfield will run on a rotation next season to keep players fresh

08 Jul 2017 11:30:00
Can't wait until the Austria games to see the expected lineup. After TC has had a look at everyone the serious warm up games should show us all his preferred formation. Right now the million dollar question is how all of the acquisitions and potential acquisitions will fit in on the pitch.

07 Jul 2017 05:06:54
Just ordered the new home kit. Seen a lot of mixed opinions on it, I like it a lot, I preferred the 2015-16 kit more but I think this is an interesting change. What does everyone else think?

07 Jul 2017 05:50:02
No Blue - no yellow. But whatever the club pick is ok by me. Would have preferred our colours somewhere other than the badge. Would love to order one but I would look like a big fat beef sausage in a cocktail sausage skin. Should make them in Fat bastard size. This is our year. MoT

I am sure they will do one that isn't 'Kombat Skin'
In the press picture the kids looked like they were wearing them.

07 Jul 2017 09:29:06
Just as well the Kombat Skin one is only for the players! For those of us with, let's say a fuller figure, the replica ones will be a bit more forgiving. Looks like a cross between Real Madrid and Swansea. Seems we're being linked with Borthwick-Jackson from Man Utd; no doubt some will say we shouldn't cross the great divide, but if there's some mileage in it and he wants to play for us, why not consider him?

07 Jul 2017 11:48:54
If they're worried about shirt pulling then just get the team to strip and just paint their bodies white.

07 Jul 2017 12:18:52
come on leodis - this isn't the place to divulge your fantasies

07 Jul 2017 13:34:59
Leo. Interesting idea. Let me run it past BW

After I posted I thought it wouldn't work. It still leaves bits that could be tugged at.
