Fulham wasted £100m and went down. If we go down after spending £100m then we will have also wasted it and I wi be the first to condemn Orta for wasting money on rubbish. I don't see how that is the managers fault?

Besides doesn't that example prove that even if you spend £100m it doesn't mean you will be successful and it depends on whether the club has enough quality?

Fulham spent the £100m on more player

We have spent £100m on much fewer

So in theory we have bought higher quality players.

I for one applaud the policy. I am getting to watch good players in the shirt I love.

axe I also applaud our policy fair play to rads for backing us and well done orta and Mb for brining these players in. part of my frustration is that I have such high hopes on the strength of our playing staff. I really rate them

alf I love you buddy but I don't get how if the money is wasted it ain't belisa fault

it is well known orta and belisa are in the transfers together. most famous is costa. belisa was walking unless we signed him. so belisa deserves praise if it goes well and condemning if it goes badly

how anyone would be willing to blame just orta when the facts are there clear as day is honestly beyond me.

Alf, Bermo, et all

Before this thread goes too much further can I ask who are the players we have wasted money on?

Bought Casilla, definitely didn't perform any worse than the surrounding players at the time he was playing. Couple of howlers but so did most of those Championship players. Even now, performing the task of keeping a brilliant young keeper on his toes and focussed.

Invested in White, helped win us a Championship

Invested in Harrison, helped win us a Championship and improving year on year.

Invested in and then bought Costa, hot and cold but certainly brings ability to the squad and helped win us a Championship

Bought Bamford

Bought Meslier

Bought Raphina

Bought German international Koch

Bought Spanish international Llorente

Bought Spanish international Rodrigo

Bought Poveda, £1m and he is already nutmegging players in the Premiership

Where are these crap purchases?

Sorry Axe i get your point but disagree with your Casilla part. He has shown nothing to me to demonstrate that he has been a good buy, I was like many very excited when he arrived, ex Real Madrid coming to Leeds, things were looking up. But that was my moment of happiness and is disapated very quickly, when he played it was like looking at a Porschethinking nice and then starting it up to find the engine of a trabant. I am nervous every time he is between the sticks, he has done nothing for me to want him in a Leeds shirt, too many mistakes and does not fill me with any confidence.

Bielsa’s involvement in transfers is purely to say yes, or no. None of the transfers since Bielsa came have been duff. Orta is Leeds. Love the guy, love his passion. Radz is the Messiah, Bielsa is God. Here endeth the lesson.

I agree love Orta and I don’t think we have made any bad buys think we have brought really well hence my immense frustration at the Brighton game and people on here putting bad performances down to having championship players . I think that opinion is crap and just a get out for belisa

100% behind our transfer strategy.
