Leeds Transfer Rumours

02 Mar 2019 01:19:34
I think Tuesday hurt the players! The response was fantastic. Third game in less than a week, that's not a team tiring or fading away. Can anyone not believe after that set of answers!

To me it shows how much the players want it and how much they want it for Bielsa!

Great shout Spanish think that sums it up what a night at Elland road.

03 Mar 2019 11:38:05
They were hurting

He put the same team out with the message

I believe in you, put it right

& they did

Here endeth the lesson.

Same starting team and bench for WBA game, not a surprise to anyone surely! Will be watching with family who are all Baggies fans so iam in for a fun filled night. Just know that the little rat Dwight Gayle will get his customary goal against us. As we find it hard to keep a clean sheet i guess we going to need to score at least twice to get anything from this game, sadly can't see our current personnel, s form where those 2 goals will come from.

Keep the faith Mezzman 🙃.

Mess, bet ya family night was great 4 u mate 👍😁.

02 Mar 2019 08:03:29
Guys, never so happy to be wrong! What a great night, certainly a very joyous family gathering (for me, lol. ) .

26 Feb 2019 23:32:37
I picked the result correct but I do not blame us for losing. It was brolly man's cup cup final because I reckon if they lost he would have been sacked. Yes an off night but I would happily take the loss if we come good on Friday night which I think we will. MB is hurting and so are the rest. 3.1 to us Friday. MOT. Win or lose Leeds till I die and beyond.

27 Feb 2019 10:21:43
That's the spirit. Still a tad worried about next two games though. Photo of Bubs touching and worrying at same time.

27 Feb 2019 12:44:37
Good post Gray, morning optimism!

27 Feb 2019 12:54:23
I think the photos aren’t worrying! Worrying would be if he was sat in a bar surrounded by blondes and sharing bottles of Bollinger inediately after the game!

It hurts, despite the money, I suspects this hurts Bielsa as much or more than all of us! This is his opportunity to prove the doubters wrong! His opportunity to create a different kind of football legacy!

Use the photo, use the pain, use the disappointment. Show us what you can do on Friday!

27 Feb 2019 15:12:52
Spanish.

If I was "sat in a bar surrounded by blondes and sharing bottles of Bollinger immediately after the game" I would be very, very happy!

I would be even happier if one was Emma! 🤤🤤🤤

The only thing I would worry about though, would be if my heart could stand it!

27 Feb 2019 16:34:53
Tewit, I am sat at bars surrounded by blondes, but pints of what they serve in the peacock!

27 Feb 2019 19:56:58
What a way to go Tew Emma is a lovely girl.

28 Feb 2019 09:53:21
Spanish.

Does Emma ever pop in the Peacock for a quick one? 😉

If so I think me and Boston will be joining you.

How much has Rads put in to buy and run the club for last 2 seasons?

We know we have turned over in excess of £50m per season, that equals £100m. He has had up to £35m in in transfers, Wood, Viera, Saiz ( and Taylor? ). He has had £12m from the 49'rs. Add to this the £25m debt he has used as well. that's in the region of £170m, Without adding in any of Rads funds mentioned as part of his original investment. Reportedly these funds included money to buy the club £40m, the ground £20m and £20m transfer kitty, a total of £80m. This all adds up to over £250m. Bought the club for £40m and the ground £20m that's £60m .

That leaves over £190m. There has not been massive investment in the playing squad ( Our biggest outlay has been a £200k fine from the EFL, ! ) . The average wage of £20k a week is £1m year for a squad of 22, that's about £22m plus management and U23's allow £8m to £10m. So say £65m over 2 seasons. Based on the above there is no reason why we should have any money worries, unless some of the above is incorrect, there appears to be about £100m shortfall in my figures?

Guess you are NOT an accountant.

Where on earth did you get those figures from?

Sorry, I now realise you are a creative accountant!

Met a few of those in my life, thank goodness.

MOT.

I think I'll wait for the club accounts :) also you forgot the purchase of ER, policing costs, the no-playing staff wages, business rates for ER and Thorp Arch, the upkeep of the aforementioned, owners and directors salaries, I'll stop now, Alzheimers kicking in ;)

28 Feb 2019 15:06:55
Massive investment in u23s
Issuing of longer contracts
Recruitment of more backroom staff. We now have a Dr pitchside thankfully
It’s not just the stuff in the papers

The whole club is on a better footing than it was under certain previous chairmen.

17 Feb 2019 14:05:12
Phil Hay tweeting that Roofe is having a scan on his knee tomorrow.
Maybe not fake news! 😱.

17 Feb 2019 14:43:18
But to have him walking around Leeds with a brace on before his scan and before any news has been released to anyone. Seems a bit weird!

16 Feb 2019 20:30:11
Roofe spotted in Leeds with a brace on his leg, hopefully nothing serious, but doesn't look good. One thing I will say, with the unbelievable amount of injuries we have had this season we have done brilliant to still be right up there, and the Manager has never moaned once he has just got on with it.

16 Feb 2019 21:44:05
A lot of doubt about this sighting, might well be an old photo from a previous injury posted to cause mischief. Would appear a bit weird for news of a serious injury to be broken first by a player walking through the city with an obvious injury!

16 Feb 2019 21:49:09
Don't tell me you fell for it :) Mr Roofe was actually out Audi shopping today.

16 Feb 2019 23:20:12
Two days ago he posted a photo on IG with the hashtag #comebackstronger. I thought that sounded like a subtle injury hint and now this claim. I think he’s been off form for a while now and could do with a rest, but is still concerning if true.

17 Feb 2019 10:38:04
Yes I fell for it, we have had enough bad injuries for one season. Hopefully everybody will stay healthy for the run in.

17 Feb 2019 11:27:16
He also uploaded a photo to his Instagram account with his leg in a brace . So don’t be so sure it’s a hoax . Guess we will find out tomorrow if true .

16 Feb 2019 19:09:24
Hearing a rumour Roofe out for season with ligament damage. A photo on social media in a leg brace. Some saying it could be an old photo?

16 Feb 2019 20:49:53
Hi Danum. Just typed a post to same effect. Crossed in the post type scenario. Like you, I dunno what to make of it.

16 Feb 2019 21:08:18
If it's true then it's a good job Bamford and Brown are both back up and running.

13 Feb 2019 22:28:53
Have been out of the country for most of the season so only attended first game tonight. Why are we not singing Bielsa's name constantly? He is the single reason we are where we are. We need to be showing how much we love him like Newcastle fans did with Benitez.

14 Feb 2019 05:04:29
He don't want the love until it's sealed. He said as much.

13 Feb 2019 22:06:03
Why are we chasing Daniel James. He was very ordinary tonight.

14 Feb 2019 00:14:56
Bielsa can turn ordinary looking players into great ones if they have the attributes he is looking for. James is ridiculously quick, Bielsa can work with the technical bits. Just need to make sure we don’t overpay for him.

14 Feb 2019 05:07:12
Good post Ali. He'll be worth just half the £12m in the summer due to his contract being closer to termination. Swans need the money, Jenks is out the way and James probably won't renew.

14 Feb 2019 08:18:06
He needs to get Sacko back and work his magic on him then ;-)

14 Feb 2019 08:59:15
Poor lad probably wanted to be in a white shirt

Imagine you’re offered a night with angelina jolie then at the last minute brad says no.

The bbq you’re all at two weeks later is going to be awkward

Same thing.

{Ed001's Note - erm he does play in a white shirt at Swansea mate. Just thought I should point that out....}

14 Feb 2019 11:49:23
Dammit Ed, you beat me to it 😊.

{Ed001's Note - sorry AL, I had a George moment of pedantry!}

14 Feb 2019 12:51:07
Ed001 Nowt wrong with that! I adore pedantry. Can anyone tell? 😆 Enjoy your day Ed001 and Staffy.

{Ed001's Note - I had not noticed mate....}

14 Feb 2019 15:38:04
I was going to say that pedants rule but George would get all pedantic and find issue with it 😁.

13 Feb 2019 22:03:47
Well what a stat that is. When we have scored first we have won 14 out of 14 games, nuff said!
