The squad is what it is, stronger than last year in my view but then so are many other outfits.
This is a business to Radz, I stated at the start of summer that net spending would be more or less zero and that looks like being the case.
I had my own business for many years and believe it or not making a profit was quite important! Radz has many irons in the fire and probably shuffles money between them etc.
In many respects he ( and us) is real lucky to have had the clear profit from KP and Raph to spend - without that we would been in serious trouble because his hand is not going into his own pocket - his exit strategy is nearly complete and he is going to walk away with much moolah - and good luck to him, we have done well under his stewardship.
Upfront we have BamBam, Joffy and Greenwood ( both are going to be great) Rodrigo - We will be fine!
Maybe we should get behind who we have and you complainers could possibly offer to write out a check for 70 million of your own loot for a striker or whatever.
ITS KICK OFF TIME - let's ENJOY IT AND SUPPORT THE TEAM AS SELECTED EVERY WEEK!

Excellent 1970! So true! Let’s wish everyone a great season, Struick best left back centre back in the league and the strikers fighting each other to stick the ball in the net! Ps I think we’ll be ok and I think we’ll have a start of the season tussle with wolves winning 3/ 2!

I would say we did well for the first few years but we stagnated if nit went backwards last season and cab see us doing better than 2 seasons ago this year unless Orta has pulled an uncharacteristic blinder with signings despite letting our 2 best players go. Would have ebeen nice of a Radz and the other stooges had moved on at the end ofbthe first season back in the prem.

70, that's the thing in a nutshell pal .
Radz likes to run with the fox + the hound . The way some on here speak of him you would swear he's a charity case and doing all this for the betterment of LUFC .
Last season demonstrated how far he is willing to go without spending his own .
Without a transfer fee incoming he left a Xmas window go, apart from his Forshaw comment with almost catastrophic results .
He is going to be a hugely wealthy man when he eventually sells us .
And he's well entitled to that as he is the owner . But even in the meantime he has accrued plenty of wealth from his ownership.
Last year was pathetic and if he don't sanction an improved 9 this time around we are again going to have a long rough ride imo.

Typo mistake ( and doing all this ONLY for the betterment of LUFC ) should have came out.

I don’t see where Radz is not in favour of the betterment of Leeds Utd, surely the stronger his asset becomes the more he will profit.
I also don’t get where fans think owners of clubs are just in it for a hobby? It’s a business to hopefully make a lot of financial gains and success.
