Just like to point out Radz is doing a fantastic job. Keeping our best players and has the club on a stable financial basis and we have Elland road back.
Are any of those statements true
ANSWER HELL NO IN FACT ALL ARE FALSE.
07 Jul 2019 14:58:28
In your opinion!
Best players is purely opinion . I may disagree with you so cannot be called a fact.
Club finances none of us have the detail on in the depth to know if we are stable or not.
As for Elland Road ownership who the hell knows how that is truly owned!
Again all opinion and just because it's your opinion doesn't make it a fact.

We all know how Elland road is owned that's clear. We all ranted and raved over Jannson for the last 2 seasons and worried any time he wasn't playing. We all have raved over Jack for the last season. Those players are not going to be playing for Leeds. FACTS NOT OPINIONS.
07 Jul 2019 15:16:55
And I'm sure there are plenty of statistics to verify the quality of Jannson and how important he was to our team and the fact Spurs and one of the most regarded managers in Europe are willing to put faith in JC show how high he is regarded.

Wex Stats show we did better without him. Think you need to appreciate the bigger picture. He's in his late 20s, the Qataris are moving in. There's a method to the madness. I believe we will acquire one more central defender before the window closes. The fee for Pontus is low no doubt though.
07 Jul 2019 16:14:08
Stats for the last 2 seasons and even the stats for last season were skewed as the author of that article points out as pontus only came on for brief appearances in a few games when returning from injury.
07 Jul 2019 16:15:31
Hope your right about qataris George.
07 Jul 2019 15:58:06
We also mostly (not all as its opinions) raved about hernandez, Phillips, klich and roofe. Ayling last 10 games was also back to normal high standard so we kept most of the best IN MY OPINION.
Elland Road ownership may be an accounting benefit.
As you must be a Chartered Accountant with full access to the books though I'm sure you know best!

100% agree it's too low.
Honestly can't understand why mid table premier teams aren't taking a risk at up to 10 mill. Not a lot on their budgets. Has to be something wrong!

Good post George. I don’t believe Pontus is being sold against Bielsas wishes. The price reflects those actually willing to buy him. Not in Radz or clubs interests to sell for less if better offers out there.
A lot of sorting out going on at the moment that takes time and effort, a lot of people looking to move on or be moved on. Moves in done first largely but there are Pontus replacements out there and available. But not a bad thing for White and Struick to train with the first team and play this weeks friendlies to see how they go.

How do you know the price reflects those that want to buy him. Football is a network of whispers a lot of the time. An agent calls an agent more a case of rada and co want him gone someone from brentford makes a call and radz accepts the first offer.
07 Jul 2019 22:25:39
Simple economics Wex. If anyone else wanted him, the price would go up. Supply and demand.

Wex
You have some great opinions of your own. You should just rest on them.
There is no need to be contrary on absolutely any opposite opinion that another poster make.
We respect your viewpoint. You don't like Radz. It's like we respect Bermo's viewpoint on Phillips. We all just agree to disagree
I will expand on your point regarding agents talking to agents. I agree, they most certainly do. It's how the economics of football works (they are a necessary evil) . What you haven't touched on yourself is that LUFC will have put the word out to all these agents too. Letting them know that Pontus is now a sellable asset. So, if any PL club was interested, they could have easily joined the bidding. By the sheer fact that Brentford are the only name in the frame must mean that no one else fancied taking the punt. Hence the low bid wins the signature. Tough, but that's economics.
