We need proper signings in asap to be ready for pre season even DF said as much. We can't piss about on this. Marquee signings in next couple of weeks badly needed.
GK AM and CF have to be the three big big signings and maybe another wide player. 100 million or thereabouts on those four and we'll all be a happy bunch.

I said the other week that I reckon the real big names, the front men of the rock band that is Leeds United, will be signed last.
Sign the defence, goalies and midfielders - they're the sure bets that build confidence in a team, the backbone of it.
Then sign the strikers, forward and wingers, the ones who will make people, teams and other managers sit up and notice. Waiting as long as possible gives Leeds more time to catch managers and other teams by surprise.
The recent blocking of fans to Germany and live streaming of matches at the training camp, makes me suspect that there's a big, big name in the mix.

They be got to come in as soon as possible though as you want them to start bedding in before training and friendly matches to know where we are made a good start but feel we are stuttering a bit like as if can’t get deals over the line, we still have nt spent no money what are we waiting for now psr over get them done also set piece coach be nice lacked that last season, we have signed the players for it this year so far with another 6 ft 4 on the way.

How does waiting as long as possible give Leeds more time to catch other teams by surprise? Surely it should be the total opposite?
Wait too long and all the better players will be snapped up as Sunderland are showing.
As for signing defenders, a goalkeeper and midfielders first well we’ve signed ONE guaranteed starter for those positions and that’s it!
Also the longer you wait the prices go up generally as other teams know your desperation.
That’s the way I see it Mo.

We players not egos in dressing room leave it Daniel Farke.

Corkey, because we're having our talent poached, we keep it under the radar and do the deal on the quite. If we wait, we get to train without others knowing the full details of who is on board, or how they will play. Plus, if the other teams rush to spend their budget, they can't swoop in to stop our bigger buys as PSR hits them hard.
Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I think the 49ers are very switched on when it comes to the laws and rules of PSR and how they can use it to their advantage.

Mo, get the top targets in first. For example if we get in two big signings early on it’s a lot easier to attract other players to come to Leeds. Sunderland beat us to the punch on the Diarra deal I have no doubt. Whether it turns out to be worth the lolly time will tell.
If Diarra has a great season nobody will be saying they overpaid just what a great signing it was.
Start mucking about with too much negotiation with the selling club you run the risk of not getting the player which i believe is what happened with Diarra. Other clubs will be looking at all our targets as well so like Sunderland we have to move quickly.
