Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again!
I've lost faith. Radz wants to try to do this on the cheap and not try the hardest that he can to get us up. So Leeds will get what they deserve. Adams won't join, and we'll end up with a second striker that is worse than both Roofe and Eddie were.
We should have kept Pontus and Roofe. But our board are so incompetent, they can't discuss things like adults with their best centre back and send money on keeping their best striker here. We should have made all the same signings but kep our players that got us to third last seson.

Roofe ran his contract down because he wanted a new challenge we didn’t sell him. Stats show we performed worst and conceded more goals when janson was on the pitch for us. And who are all the other players we should have kept?
14 Jan 2020 09:25:04
But remember everyone. We’re not dicking about with the play offs this year! 🤡.

What part of Roofe didn't run his contract down Martyn are you not understanding?
Roofe was in his last year and was sold for £6 million, he was still a Leeds player in the last year of his contract.
14 Jan 2020 11:34:39
Or lose him for nothing Chris. Let’s weight it up now £6 mill or nothing mmmmmm tough decision for a buisness man that on in it.
14 Jan 2020 11:36:45
Martyn you keep 'ramming down our throats ' the same incorrect nonsense about Roofe's contract. truly clueless.
14 Jan 2020 11:47:55
i can see what people are saying about roofe, but lose him for nothing and go up (like with did with bamford) might of been a good call. if we went up would he of stayed
pontus was as bad a sale as we have ever made. he was first choice with bartley not cooper for a reason, he is an international (cooper can't even make jock team) for a reason, he has been linked with prem for a reason and brentford have a better defensive record than us for a reason. if we don't go up i will put it largley down to losing ponuts and not replacing him (white should of been for bartley coming in for cooper not pontus)
then look at veria the muscle in midfeild we maybe needed. he is the england international how much could of MB improved him?

. £ 6 million or £170 million on premiership promotion Martyn . hmm yes genius.
14 Jan 2020 11:53:02
And £3 million of that £6 million was wasted on loan for Eddie. brilliant.
14 Jan 2020 12:20:07
But yet the £35,000 a week we were paying Eddie during the loan on top of the loan fee couldn’t have gone to giving Roofe the contract he wanted.
A back three of Pontus, Cooper and White would win us this league by a country mile. Pontus was a great defender, you can be in denial all you like but there’s a reason Brentford are right on our tail.
As for other players we should have kept, there’s no reason we should have sold Pearce considering the issue at left back at the minute, as well as Halme and Wilks who would have been, if anything, decent cover. And selling Odour to me is an absolute mystery, he looked like the most likely player to break into the first team next. Fantastic dynamic driving full back.
The people that run us are far better than anything that has come before. But they are still not trying their best to get us promoted. They’re trying to do it in the cheapest way possible, squeezing every pound out of our promotion that they can.
We won’t get Adams, I doubt we’ll even get Poveda. We are falling apart again because our owners cannot be bothered to learn and act on their mistakes last year. It is a repeat of last year all over again.
14 Jan 2020 12:22:42
Hmmm let’s weigh it up now. Having two strikers now or having one striker. Hmmm tough decision for a team that wants to be promoted that on in it.
Agreed Viduka.

No Martyn I am addressing your statement not the potential after effects of it,
Again you incorrectly stated roofe ran down his contract and left for free, 1 season remaining +£6 million are the facts here, not a bosman and a free transfer .

Excellent posts MBTN . you have summed it up perfectly.
14 Jan 2020 13:46:24
So you know for definite that if we had kept him we would have gone up mystic meg? You may think you can see into the future but let’s be realistic pal you can’t. It disturbs me how you can call yourself fans when all you do is pull the club to pieces. I’d be 100% behind them if they were playing Sunday league football.
14 Jan 2020 14:02:46
Your starting to get sort of personal viduka, is that the bully in you coming out? Agree with me or I’ll insult you.
14 Jan 2020 15:06:13
Lol Martyn whatever.
14 Jan 2020 16:05:25
What are our problems now Martyn? They are lack of firepower upfront and lack of cover at centre back and arguably lack of good options at left back.
These things can be, at least partially, solved with the additions of Roofe, Pontus and Pearce. But we haven’t got them because Radz is not interested in guaranteeing promotion if he is going to make a smaller profit. Always stating that’s FFP is this giant overhead when Derby can get away with having a third party pay a player’s wage. It’s all excuses to not put their hands in their pockets.
But remember Martyn, we’re not dickng about with the play offs this year.
