Agree in part, but think roofe will get better and better playing with these guys.

Agree2 Disagree1

Roofe was sensationally good at holding the ball up. Talk of not being big enough is outdone by how clever he is with the ball at his feet. We have someone with some flair to play off him, I think we become real challengers. I personally think roofe is an excellent young player

Keep hearing jordan Rhodes and I think he'd bang in the goals in place of the not so dearly departed woods. Then sign janssons mate as another centre back and possibly another striker most likely on loan. But the one thing I'm certain of is that we need to be snappy because if/when woods leaves we need to invest that money before the window closes and not in January when we never do bugger all.

Rather Hooper than Rhodes if we're signing Wendies players. Rhodes is a tap in merchant, Hooper is more of an all round player.

Hooper and forrestieri £18m would we take that?

Agree0 Disagree1

20 Aug 2017 13:26:11
All day, samo! Forrestieri for 8-10 and i'd be delighted. I'd sooner see Vydra though, think he's absolute class just hasn't found his feet for a while.

Behave, you are having a laugh about Roofe holding the ball up. aren't you?

If Woody signs the extension offered by the club he would be a Leeds legend, can you imagine the cheers he would get today. Also what about the advertising outside elland road you would think they would have spoke to Woody before doing it to gauge whether he would be a Leeds player this year. personally i think he will play today and stay. Glass half full always.

Legend? Really?

Agree15 Disagree0

Agreed, if he stays, scores 20+ goals and we get promoted then quite rightly he would be elevated to legend status, however, looking at all the rumours it looks like he'll be off, sadly.

Agree8 Disagree1

No chance dougie, he's not going to stay and he is not going to be a legend. He had a good season largely putting away chances created by others. He has cashed in his chips and secured his retirement and I don't blame him for that, but the stuff of legends it isn't !

My wife says i'm a legend. I scored 90 times in the time wood scored only 30. Wood is a past player. Nothing less. Nothing more.

Well I heard your wife scored another twenty more for another club aus ;) .

Chris who?

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2017 20:17:42
She always says, it's better playing away and all who know her says she's better on the road; (and the grass and the sofa and the carpet. )

Rumours aren't that Chris wood has signed for Burnley for £15m. Good news is, Christiansen has reinvested this in a new jacuzzi and gym, and is putting his boots back on and playing as a player manager.

If the quoted 15 million plus add on is correct I'm OK with it. Timing is the issue though but hopefully TC has a plan in place to replace him with better ASAP.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2017 07:13:30
If it is true then hopefully we have enough time to reinvest the cash. Hopefully as Canadawhite states TC will have already been working behind the scenes. It's a pity if we lose him, because I do feel we could have given him better service this year, but the right replacement will do just as well. 15M + add ons ain't a bad piece of business. I for one the season before last would have taken a lot less. I noticed on Tuesday he was getting very frustrated with the service he was getting which is something I didn't see last season.

Not unexpected, clearly the new contract offer was designed to bring things to a head and who can blame any player for not wanting to triple their earnings and have a pop at the top division? Best of luck Woody. Now let's see if we actually reinvest the cash or if this sale is to recoup some of what we already spent.

Agree1 Disagree1

I said at start of the season I'd sell him, Wood is a streak player like McCormack was. Last season I think was a one off. Take the £15 million and buy Dwight Gayle

Agree1 Disagree1

If Cellino was still here, he'd have got 40 for him 😂 If he got 11 for McCormack, he would have easily got double that. That said, pretty happy he is off. Let's see roofe at centre forward and cutting defensive lines. He's a decent forward, think we will see the best of him now.

Agree1 Disagree1

19 Aug 2017 13:04:05
11x2=22 not 40 luckily you weren't in negotiations. Behave 😀

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2017 23:42:39
The figure being quoted was 20. Double that? Do you want a pen and paper, wex? Example of Cellino's business sense - got 11 for Ross. Point, He's have got double for wood; figure quoted 20 x 2 = 40. Isn't it fun when you have to explain things to people, step by step! ?

Evening guys, lot of fans saying Ross not welcome due to the way he left and his antics and so on, my take on it is this, you do not become a bad player overnight! Ross Has a lot of natural quality especially in the championship, his main problem is in his head if he is happy then he will perform, I am led to believe that he has had marital problems leading to his behaviour, and so he has not been able to play free because of it, if we have Ross without ant problems off the field he will perform and I am sure he would love to prove to everyone he can do it in the prem with Leeds! I say it's unfinished business with him and us! Like I say it all depends on his state of mind! Think today is his 31st birthday so I'd say he has 3 or 4 more years left in him, I hope he focuses on getting himself right goes out a hero helping us get out of this brick wall of a league, Ross over to you!
