We are top of the league so no need to spend money unless a bargain comes up. We must be doing something right already. Earnt more from players than anybody else and looking for bargains. Does he not think it matters our competition are spending money on improving. We must be that good not to need to. Bit like a young team that will make mistakes. Absolute dribble. Every time he opens his mouth. Guarantee mez and arronsen back at weekend. Soooo predictable.

Indeed Aus spot on post AGAIN.

13 Jan 2025 10:13:45
OMG I find myself in agreement with Aus!

Just waiting on the arrival of the 4 Horseman now.

I believe we were top/ top-ish as the transfer window arrived last winter.
I believe the statements coming out of Elland Rd were with regards to our squad being good enough.

I believe the teams around us did feel their squads needed improving.

I believe they went up and we didn't!

The definition of Madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result!

At the very least, aren't the fans entitled to know where this message comes from.
If the manager has stated this, then he has to live/ die by the results.
If the business has stated this, then we are entitled to critise their planning for our club.
All we ask for is some transparency in all this.

100% spot on Axey.

13 Jan 2025 10:32:31
Hacker won't go away. He or she shows knowledge of Leeds United.

Put simply, if our rivals fortify and we don't they are going to close and overtake that 1 point gap (which ought to have been 7) .

Playoffs beckon.

Not the 49E style to communicate directly with the fans or to explain their business decisions. That isn't likely to change so we may as well wish for the moon on a stick.

13 Jan 2025 10:38:44
Just FYI on 13 Jan 24 Leeds were 4th in the table 7 PTS off Ipswich in 2nd and 17 off Leicester who were top. Soton were 4 PTS above us in 3rd. So yes - we were top.

13 Jan 2025 10:42:07
Yes Alf. but we all know their precedent of last Jan window.

At the end of the day it all depends on who is available, are they better than what we have already and at what price.
The January transfer market has dwindled enormously since PSR, prices are inflated and more times than often you can’t get the player you want until the end of the season.
The odds are stacked against purchasing in January and what is possibly available is a player that is badly out of form or just no good.
Let’s Spend Spend Spend.

Our team is top Vs the other teams.
However, if those other teams bolster up and we don't, there's no guarantee that we will beat those teams again, as all those teams could be better than they were in the first half of the season.

The team that ends top on new year's day gets promoted. The last team who failed to do that was Leeds United.

Is it ok for 49ers and Farke to mislead fans Alf.
If they really are going to slip a couple players in why the bollocks saying they aren’t. Unless a bargain. They don’t have to say who or even what position. A simple. We are looking to improve the squad.
Not. If a bargain comes up.
The fans are more important than the players Alf. Maybe they should rethink their strategy and instead of lying. Be honest.

Alfie (just out of interest do you know Kinnear? )

I bow to your superior use of the Internet. There is definitely a place for you in this New World Order.

I did use the word "top-ish" to cover my lack of I. T. savvy and try to create a margin of error that would showcase my lack of intent to get forensic on the topic.

We were near the top

We did not bring in reinforcements

We didn't go up.

If you don't agree with just those 3 statements then I apologise for making you read this far.

And, I agree with you, SF49ers do not tend to make many statements, so I guess we need to infer that the "no need for reinforcements" can be attributed to Farke and he should live/ die by his proclamation. No excuses if we don't go up.
However that would be a terrible "hanging out to dry" by what professes to be an ethical business organisation if they are hiding behind Farke.

OP if it’s as you say Odds opinion stacked against us in January, ( and I know it’s your valued option) we are after the same position at at the end of last season, so why did the Manager and 49 not invest them see to me we can make up any old excuse to fit this Barmy army group involved in Leeds United, keeper and a striker both have been there for a very long time.

13 Jan 2025 14:14:25
Superb post Axey! .

I am REALLY enjoying your posts!

13 Jan 2025 18:31:19
Whiteman I don’t think it’s very easy to buy a premiership quality striker when you are in the championship, that would include the very heavy price for one.
Meslier for me is good enough for the Premiership.

13 Jan 2025 19:50:58
Thanks OP for you post.

13 Jan 2025 21:19:18
There are loads of reasons clubs don't come out and broadcast their true intentions in transfer windows. I get that it's frustrating to be kept in the dark but let's just wait and see, hey?
