I know we are all getting frustrated because our hope of landing the big one have all been frustrated - so far, Let's take stock against lats year:
1) Goalkeeper - Last year we had 2 clowns. This year 2 good ones.
2) Defense - Ayling is back. We missed him big time when he was injured and we have Pearce full time in the squad. Maybe Pearce won't pleay as a true defender but otherwise we are none the worse and better with Ayling on the Pitch.
3) Midfield - Baker in and Okane nowhere near the grass. Massive improvement. Klich looks like he might come right as well.
4) Attack - Maybe no additions - yet. BUT Lasogga - gone. Grot - gone. Ekuban - gone. An improvement already.
5) Coach - Big improvement. With imptovements still possible I am more hopeful than despondent.

Liking the positivity Kiwi, and like you say, not many additions "yet"! There's still time.

I like this post Kiwi. We have a starting XI stronger than last year and so far, as you say, we have got rid of some players not up to the grade. Now with the addition of a couple (or 3) purchases and a similar number of loans we will be in good shape (well on paper) . I am not one of those who is in despair as I still think there are many players out there who are/ will be available and we do not need to panic and be held to ransom. If they WANT to come to Leeds then great, if not then why overpay them. MOT.

Looks like we have missed out on Josefzoon as well now, reportedly undergoing medical at Derby. This transfer window just gets better and better. Get ready for a raid on the Myanmar league.

My 8 yr old son is available for a little full brown envelope (oldskool bribe for the yoof of today) . He's from a similar mould of Sakho; fast, go around players but doesn't look up when he shoot or passes. Just needs a tad more coaching. Come on Orta, never mind the first team, he's got to be one for the future.

thats what we get for dithering about. this player was lihnked weeks ago and if we'd moved back then we would have probably got him but no. We need to make some proper decisions and quickly if we want to sign any decent players.

One thing our hierarchy are really top notch at is p*ssing us fans off. The list of players we are missing out on is embarrassing. I am totally fed up with the way we are supposedly in for decent players, but can't get a deal done.

Dodged a bullet with Egan then, a very average player (although I can pronounce his name) and it sounds like the deal for the Dutch lad isn't dead yet.

Bang on AL. And if it takes £4mill to get Egan, it shows the market for what it is!
