Daily mail reporting that Roofe is in talks with Anderlecht over a £7m move!
I think we need at least 2 new faces regardless, if he goes then that’s 2 strikers n a CB we will be needing. Sod it sign Andy Carroll that big lump can play as either he’s that tall! 😂😂.

Good price for someone with only a year left. It’s obvious he’s intent on running it down.


2.) 02 Aug 2019 08:55:05
Totally agree mate.


3.) 02 Aug 2019 09:06:07
Obvious Radz is running it down you mean.


4.) 02 Aug 2019 11:31:45
Can not blame him running it down if Radz does not want to pay the going rate, which by the way he set when signing Bamford and Kiko.

Just reading Burnley have offered £2.6 for BPF! Insulting I thing, given his age and the fact he is an international goalkeeper. I’d maybe take the £2.6 if that included Gibson and vydra on season long loan . Burnley fast becoming the new Norwhich and pillaging is nearly every damn year.

1.) 31 Jul 2019 15:54:45
£2.6m? 😂😂😂. After getting £8m for Heaton.
We will sell for £1.5m. Probably.
For his age. Games played already and full international we should be receiving no less than the £8m they are getting for Heaton. 👍👍⚽️⚽️.


2.) 31 Jul 2019 16:34:45
Do Clubs offer us small amounts thinking we are a soft touch?


3.) 31 Jul 2019 17:08:46
I get that feeling.


4.) 31 Jul 2019 17:18:24
They offer small amounts knowing our negotiation skills are awful and Radz is desperate for money.


5.) 31 Jul 2019 17:44:51
I read 3.5 mill.


6.) 31 Jul 2019 17:45:51
Glad he's leaving, bad apple.


7.) 31 Jul 2019 18:10:52
louisb, please share with us all here why BPF is a bad apple? Is it your opinion or fact? Is it because after he seeing how poor Kiko actually is that he decided i am going to speak up for myself and say that if he's viewed better than me i am offski . Ridiculous yet again, season days away and the mention of a couple of million is more than likely the remaining 10 % victor spoke of . Can someone tell how we are supposedly stronger this season? Happy day when that Italian slings his hook and takes that waster Victor with him .


8.) 31 Jul 2019 18:38:38
Anyone who comes out and spoke the way he did on international duty about using it as a shop window for a transfer, they are not welcome in my opinion. Bpf is not good enough, hence the need to buy a keeper last transfer window. Kiki made a couple of big mistakes but he will be an asset this year. Bpf said he is not the keeper to sit on a bench, let see ho many games he starts this year.


9.) 31 Jul 2019 20:38:33
yes indeed he did, but at that point after being understudy to Wiedwald and to a lesser Silvestri, to then obviously being told he was going to be num 2 yet again how can you blame the lad? If leeds had even kept Rob then i am sure BPF would have matured to a far better stopper . We have had poor quality stoppers now for awhile, all this is akin to a young tradesman learning his trade on building site, if there's a cowboy teaching a youngster how to do job then its only logical to think that he picks up all the cowboys poor habits . Radz is not interested in building something serious at Leeds, he only wants to get the club to a position where the sale is far more attractive whilst he spends as very LITTLE as possible, whilst he pays £37million for stationery costs!
Would have thought he might have shopped around for cheaper rather than paying that slightly heavy price.
Btw hope you detect my sarcasm in last comment 😂😂😂. Heres hoping for 3 points Sunday,


10.) 31 Jul 2019 21:11:02
I think radz has done a good job, yes would of loved to have more players in but it's business. The books have to balance out. I think we will go up this year but we won't run away with it.


11.) 31 Jul 2019 21:07:29
He’s worth 1 mill at best. No offense Batty but just because he’s an international doesn’t mean he’s any good.


12.) 31 Jul 2019 21:15:48
Yet he will be number 2 again next season. Don’t kid yourself it’s anything but the money. Fair play to the lad as imo he’s league one. At best!


13.) 01 Aug 2019 03:12:57
None taken. Just my opinion. Some think he’s worth more than £1m.
If true to be going for £3.5. Being an international must have put price up. 😆 Tbf he’s an I international keeper in a half decent team. And done ok off late in that team whilst not playing club football. Some like him some don’t. 🙄⚽️👍.


14.) 01 Aug 2019 16:11:10
Come on he only broke through 18 month ago has had bad games but not as many as Kiko. Not played for ages so how do you know if he has improved or not? Another one going so let's slag him off on his way out. 23 international well worth 3.5mill.


15.) 01 Aug 2019 18:29:16
Is it just another sign of Radz liquidating stock before selling up?


16.) 01 Aug 2019 20:16:22
I’m not slagging him just that I’ve never rated the lad. But in football you never know and maybe he can come on a bundle. Time will tell I suppose.

Getting so fed up of all this negativity about the owner etc etc yawn yawn yawn, we are not privy to the ongoing behind closed doors! Nobody ever calls out the player or the agents it’s always are owners this that n the other. If a player has been offered a new deal ( again we don’t know the offer) and he refuses to sign then what option do the club have except to sell and take what you can! Today we start the next attempt to get back where we belong, win lose or draw it’s a marathon not a sprint. Judge the transfer choices and the seasons achievements at the end of the season, don’t get on the players backs get behind the players the board and the badge . WE ARE LEEDS UNITED, UNITED WE STAND AS ONE WITH A COMMON GOAL. let's DO THIS LEEDS, WE MARCH ON TOGETHER AND UNITED! Coooooooommmmmmeeeee ooooooonnnnnn.

1.) 04 Aug 2019 10:05:21
Always 100% behind the team and always expect a win so with you on that FD. Do not think however there is any negativity in questioning decisions being made. True we do not know anything about the contract negotiations but if we are letting Roofe, or anyone else for that matter, go then that means the club are willing to and have a plan in place to replace him. Personally never seen Roofe as an lone striker who will score 20+ goals a season but just my opinion. Fact is when Radz brought Kiko and Bamford in on high wages he should have expected this to happen. KP, Roofe etc are not going to be happy on 15 grand when they are getting 30+. So yes i will question some departures and i will question Radz intent but i will also support any player out on the pitch 100% and my money is already on us getting promoted so onwards and upwards.


 

 

25 Jul 2019 20:30:17
Biggest niggle with the transfer or lack of transfer situation is, yes we are clearly shorter on numbers and arguably on quality from last season. But more baffling is why resign Bielsa if we ain’t gunna back the guy. They failed to back him In jan also. Mid table I fear this season 1 step forward n 3 back as f@@@ing usual.

FD1

1.) 25 Jul 2019 22:13:28
Well according to sources it’s Bielsa himself that is happy with the squad. If not surely he would be pushing for more signings but it was he who wanted White and Harrison and we have got them so maybe he really is happy with what we have.


2.) 25 Jul 2019 23:21:12
I think he seems to let the powers that be decide within reason, then he works with what he has got, and I am sure that suits Radz and Co down to the ground.


3.) 25 Jul 2019 23:58:54
I have yet to see a manager who would not welcome quality players added to his team. Bubs will work with what he has got and no doubt get the best out of them but he is not a god and injuries and suspensions will hit us hard.


4.) 26 Jul 2019 10:17:45
Bud, agree, any decent manager would welcome quality additions. But maybe that is why we haven't been too active in incoming transfers. The quality just isn't there at the moment.

The early loanees tend to be the ones that the parent club definitely know aren't going to be in the first team squad (in our case Harrison) , but the better one are those that just miss the cut after pre-season is complete. Hopefully we are looking at what will be available in a couple of weeks time.

Now I am the first to admit that I am not forensic when it comes to transfer activity of other clubs but I can't see any Championship club that has brought in more quality than they had.
Derby have had to give back all there loanees.
Jansson to Brentford is only a straight swap for their young England centre back.
Flint isn't an improvement for Cardiff and they have lost Zohore.
WBA have gained Zohore but lost Gayle and Rodriguez.

No where can I see a team getting better. Fulham start the season as the hihest quality team, obviously, but even they have lost quality over the summer.


 

 

20 Jul 2019 11:53:51
Think it’s quite clear and every single one of us can see we need, cb’s, another mid and a decent striker who can convert the abundance of chances we create. Our conversation rate must be horrific.

FD1

1.) 20 Jul 2019 12:42:28
CBS, were still not trying the ones we’ve got! Midfield, think we have enough! Striker, we have a striker who scored a hat trick the other night who I bet would have put one of those chances away! Let’s try some of the resources we have before assuming the only answer is new players! Bogusz, too young to play?


2.) 20 Jul 2019 13:04:50
FD1 Another midfielder? Are you serious? We have Phillips Bogusz Klich Roberts Hernandez Shackleton Clarke Gotts Oduor Harrison Costa McCalmont Stevens Foreshaw and McCarron. That's 15. Dallas used to be a midfielder too, not even counting him. That's effectively a team plus double cover. Wouldn't mind seeing Kent and Sawyers join though LOL. What we really need is a quality central defender.


3.) 20 Jul 2019 13:30:30
Spaniard On Bogusz, good enough old enough. Klich has competition now.


4.) 20 Jul 2019 13:46:42
I agree Georgie, and on that note Edmundson and Pascal too. Pascal is the one of the fringe CBS that we haven’t got rid of, and yet only getting cameos! Has Bielsa seen enough of him to decide?


5.) 20 Jul 2019 15:16:36
Get the lad at CB from Arsenal, and we are sorted. of course, only my opinion.


6.) 20 Jul 2019 15:38:41
George, do we have Phillips? We may not for too much longer and what if Burnley do come after Klich? All I see is everyone slagging off Forshaw . Bogouz looks classy, but ye I stand by the fact that I feel we need another central defensive midfielder.


 

 

17 Jul 2019 15:46:19
So I think it’s quite clear that we have not strengthened in the positions we were significantly weak last season and which ultimately cost us so dearly.
IMO we still need 1/ 2 centre back ( Cahill, vermaelan, mangala ) all available on free

Centre mid, Sawyers is take as he’s better than foresaw and would be great cover for Kalvin whether he stays or goes

Attack, personally I think Roofe will go. Leaving is definitely needing at least 1, Hugill is a no for me, possibly Vydra, Austin
Certainly don’t want a young inexperienced kid coming in we already have enough that we can blood, we need an experienced older head who can finish the chances we create.

We clearly are not strong enough in depth to sustain a challenge. Radz Orta and bielsa need to get this right and sharpish.

FD1

1.) 17 Jul 2019 16:12:07
Agree with your thoughts on strengthening certain positions but not sure if your choices are achievable. Centre back, Cahill, Vermalen or Mangala will be too much for our wage structure. Sawyers is not a defensive midfielder and would not provide cover for KP. Austin was starting for Southampton last season so I doubt he will drop a level.


2.) 17 Jul 2019 16:22:08
Sunjic is a shoe in for a DM but also has the passing ability to start attacks and even step in for a No 10 if needed, but first, get a CB!


3.) 17 Jul 2019 16:22:26
Southampton prepared to take £8m for Austin according to Sky Sports. I am sure he could do a job for us. Today's game has shown more than ever how desperate we are for Centre Backs.


4.) 17 Jul 2019 17:38:37
We couldn't afford Austins wages for one thing. If we are dilly dallying at offering KP a better contract and Roofe, why do you think we could afford Austin's wages, even if he took a pay cut he would still be wanting more than our top earners.


5.) 17 Jul 2019 17:50:17
Notts mate I was just throwing some names out there that show there is quality available. We all know exactly what we need so let’s hope stevie wonder and co in the recruitment dept can get it done. Failure to do so will definitely stunt us again.


6.) 17 Jul 2019 17:47:47
I can't see us spending £8m on a player this season.


7.) 17 Jul 2019 18:34:02
I agree Austin would be a non starter for us as you say Mezzer, I was just saying an opinion regarding him being available, but surely if our Owner wants promotion he is going to have to get his finger out and get some decent players in. How costly was his dilly dallying with James in January?

Roofe will go, in his last year and Anderlecht being champions league then why wouldn’t he go!
Philips I think will go also, again it’s a premier league move for him all be it villa.

Just need to get them done ASAP so we can replaced and yes the club will replace as they will have to.

Conversion rate was poor at best! I’d still like to see a decent striker and a CB, if we don’t do that then I fear we fall short again but probably shorter, if we do get them in then I feel it’s in our own hands.

I’ll believe it when I see it, however it (if true) shows that the powers that be may just be willing to spend a few more quid! Still think balotelli on a free would smash this league to pieces. 1 year deal 100k a week get us promoted and he earns a 4 yr deal! Surely got to be worth a punt when no transfer fee involved. Be a damn site cheaper thank 15m to buy this Italian guy.

Ya know what makes it even worse? This nonesense about buying a gold membership so I can get myself and the wife tickets to the Forest game and now having taken my £50 they state you can only purchase 1 ticket per membership! Absolute joke.

Come on Leeds how many people go to the football alone and don’t want to sit with their partner or kids or mates. Seems that they are just raping the success of last season, I hear the Forest fans are up in arms about the ticket prices as well. I get it’s a business but without the fans you are up doo doo creek.
