Seen a stat earlier don't know if true, but if it is at least we are world class at summit
Selling players ?
We have took more in sales this summer than
ANY CLUB WORLDWIDE ?
Minutes of board meeting yesterday
Item 17, : can we get that deal done cheap cheap cheap, we have only the £138 million incoming.
21 Aug 2024 00:25:49
I understand your frustration but I think it’s miss placed.
We spent 45 million the year we went up followed by 350-400 while in prem that’s between 400-450 million in failure to get relegated
Ffp or prs or whatever it is called is a real thing and leeds would get hit with it.
It’s like we forgot what happened under o Leary and risdale?
Most clubs are selling clubs, lots of players have release clauses
Look at Brighton they just brought rutter but lost there players to Chelsea and arsenal etc
We have to be realistic and understand sadly this is the modern game and be thankful we had the talent to sell.
21 Aug 2024 03:22:55
all very well Berma "The Realist" and fair points .
but all this from you is then contradicted by your predictions of Leeds winning the league comfortably with several games to spare.
21 Aug 2024 05:02:05
Why is it a contradiction to point out that we have to sell (and are lucky to have players good enough to sell for the numbers we are selling for) , but also to think that we’ll win the league?
21 Aug 2024 05:30:56
So Brockley do you have this Leeds squad winning the Champo? . with several matches ( eight) to spare?
21 Aug 2024 05:31:06
Because it no going to happen, selling good players and you still things can go up my my I will have what your drinking??.
21 Aug 2024 05:37:51
Make it a double Whitey cheers ? ? ?.
21 Aug 2024 06:41:34
I only posted that as a laugh Bermo, fully aware of payments etc, But when you see that 138 figure coupled with para payments it's a fair chunk of lolly, that I imagine the owners would prefer wasn't in public domain .
In respects of the spin they will put on this window when it shuts and we haven't done what's desperately needed.
21 Aug 2024 07:05:35
Baz - regardless of what I think (which is that we will win the league) , it’s not a contradiction to think that we have the best squad (or will by the end of the transfer window) and will win the league even though we’ve sold some players.
You don’t agree that we will win the league, but that doesn’t make it a contradiction. It’s you pretending that your opinion is a fact (yet again) .
21 Aug 2024 07:11:39
It’s a big lump innit Chris? Huge in fact!
And Brockley is right, Baz. You’re really grasping at cack at the bottom of the barrel you’re continuously scraping to simply make others seem incorrect, and yourself right! It’s getting pathetic now, as it seems that the only reason you are here, is to try to disprove anyone else’s opinion, to make your own seem correct!
Bermo makes a very good post about “being careful what you wish for”, and you bring up something totally irrelevant, and leftfield, from an entirely different topic and thread!
Very quick to put labels on everyone else’s posts and views, but your tripe is acceptable? Nah. Not anymore. It’s not happening.
21 Aug 2024 07:28:22
Bermo I have a question for you?
When did we spend 400 million? That certainly didn't happen the last time we we in the Premier league, so not sure what you are referring to? Sorry pal, bit confused by your statement.
21 Aug 2024 07:38:57
Why don't we bring Raphinia back.
Barcelona still owe us £30m plus and we have enough in the bank to cover his wages ??.
21 Aug 2024 07:50:27
Brockley do you reckon City would win league if they sold
Kevin, Erling, Rodri all in 1 window so?
21 Aug 2024 08:05:28
I see what you are saying Chris and get your point mate.
Dougie if you watch the view podcast with the finitial expert on it (well worth a watch in my opinion) the man explains it. The figure of 45 million to go up and 350-400 while in prem is in the books and official figures leeds posted so not made up. That was always my grip with Belisa he had four years and spent a fortune and for my money didn’t do a good job.
Baz my optimism is sometimes what you need as a leeds fan. Truth is we support a below average team that despite a very few fleeting moments in the sun is a second division club but our fan base (including myself) see us as top flight so we have to believe
This said the squad ain’t bad and we have both statically the best manager this leauge had ever seen and in my opinion the best man for the job so like George Michael I still got to have faith a faith a faith I got to have faith.
21 Aug 2024 08:39:16
Exactly Chris. So Brockley do you?
Indeed Dougie
Berma I was fortunate enough to experience around 14 years of the Don so it was certainly more than very fleeting at that time. admittedly that was as good as it gets bar the Wilko era perhaps.
21 Aug 2024 09:35:37
I get that baz and I don’t want to under play what the don did and how amazing it must of been to see, I meant in the context of the clubs history it was fleeting but overall leeds is not a top flight club.
I grew up in the Wilko era and loved it but again sadly it’s a footnote well a chapter in the history of a second division club.
21 Aug 2024 10:16:02
Leeroy imagine raph back at leeds? Even just the dream of it has got me over excited and I’m in public!
Think we should also go for Harling as he is a leeds fan and Stirling (raheem not Jeff) as then we’d be safe for playoffs I reckon.
21 Aug 2024 10:28:44
Sergeant Wilko's barmy army.
21 Aug 2024 11:43:35
Baz - not that I think the question is relevant, yes I think Man City would win the league if they sold those three because:
- they would still have a strong squad
- they have a top manager
- they would reinvest the funds in new players
In the context of the Championship it could be argued that all three apply to Leeds right now (and also the bookies / market also agree as Leeds are 2nd favourites for the title) .
21 Aug 2024 12:04:20
Brockley let's say Citeh were unable to find as good ( extremely likely) as their 3 best players Rodri Haaland, De Bryne
Because 100% guaranteed Leeds won't replace their sold players with anything like same quality
I 100% stand by my post above re contradiction by Berma, you don't agree as usual Brockers . no surprise lol ? there. and no problem.
21 Aug 2024 14:21:39
Of course he disagrees! Because you have taken a 2, and added it to Z, and said it’s contradictory, which itself didn’t make sense, and expected people to think you’re right? ?????♂️.
