Baz please don't think that my earlier remarks were totally aimed at you because they weren't. i'm just sick of all this bad publicity that seems to be coming at us left right and centre and you are better than them on the radio and media, but you sometimes get lost with what is good at the moment, for instance, you posted towards the end of last season that the board were wrong, we made no signings, no money, no ambition and so on, well I totally changed my opinion and agreed with you, you opened my biased eyes mate! Now though, the board have shown ambition, they have admitted they got it wrong and have been very active in putting it right. The board had no options in letting KP and Raph go, I mean if KP wanted to go after all these years then why would Raph have any loyalties after 2 seasons? We got rid before our new season started and disrupting our start is not what we need. Plus FFP, I mean it's ok for others to break it but you know what happens if we did, we would get hammered by them!
Also we really are not a rich club but we are ok and we don't want another Ridsdale debacle, so for me it's been an amazing turnaround and the money has been well spent, we have not missed a lot of our transfer targets and the signings we have made have been quality but again some of these players are only using LUFC as a stage to progress, so in essence if we get a team full of those with ambition to join bigger clubs then imagine how good they will perform for us, we might end up in top six and they might stay, who knows eh mate! You are Leeds through and through those idiots who spout crap aren't. Give our season a chance Baz and I reckon they won't let you down my pal. ??MOT ??.

Woody I hear you pal and as I said below previously both you and Clu made some very good ( positive) points ( as usual) .
It's been a decent window so far but I want the club to be equipped as possible this season for a very, very demanding EPL. Be under no illusion it is a very demanding league!
With Raph gone and no Pablo clone I do really worry about our creativity and goalscoring.
We obviously also need another striker and left back, an experienced gk would be a welcome bonus.
And goalscorer Harrison simply must NOT be sold this season.
Get these players in and Leeds can have a decent season, as things stand our squad definitely still needs 3 to 4 additions to be competitive and to stay clear from bottom 6.

What you both said.

Thanks Baz and I totally agree with you, we do need another striker a really good proven striker, I’m not convinced with Pat’s fitness and I’m less convinced with the Blackburn lad who we keep being linked with, like I said a proven striker at a high level, it’s not as if we don’t have the money now eh? I would also like Ben Foster for keeper and the lad from Stoke for our LB position. We have to keep Harrison so I totally agree with that and he needs to play where he is most effective. Imagine Harrison and Sinisterre on either side with Anderson and Adams working high in the middle and a proven great striker would flourish, just imagine how many goals we would of scored in the first two years of MB’s reign eh! I don’t want Mata as I think his wages would upset the players we have and for me he is not another Pablo, Pablo was an enigma and Mata not another Pablo, and he’s an ex red so no thank you. Also would be very happy to get Alioski back and ready to come on and torment the life out of tired opposition players, I would love him back. So in all honesty I do agree with you but after the way Radz has backed our club so far I think we owe him and Orta to get these signings over the line. Good post though mate ????.

Good solid point from everyone, I agree with Baz that I feel we need 3-4 more as yet.
A top striker
Another ATM
LB
GK
Really do not want BBD from Blackburn.
Forget CDK
Seems kalimuendo is the main striker target
Someone mentioned Josh zirkzee on here the other day, he looks decent too.
I’d like cornet at £17m he would bring some quality and versatility to the left side.
Still feel we might pull 1 big shock one out the bag.

Sinisterra is a very creative player. If Rocca toughens up a bit and learns how to go in hard on tackles, he’ll be a pretty decent replacement for KP.
