I've found the transfers a bit weird, too. Apparently we have to satisfy FFP? I can't believe our players are on that much? Bamford is apparently.
Our best defender [Pontus] -- We already have like for like replacement [White] albeit on loan (do we have an option to buy?) - I think he'd lost it towards the end of last season. Believing his own hype and not doing what the Manager wanted. Brentford? Fucking lol. Top goal scorer [Roofe] - Agree this is a weak area. Piss weak in fact. If Bamford is properly fit...? We've got back for Roofe what we paid for Bamford. He had a year on his Contract and wanted what Bamford was on apparently. Ideally, I'd have sold Bamford and kept Roofe but that assumes he wanted to stay. and best youngster sold for millions [Clarke?] - we have him back on loan, so for this season, that's no real change but we have £10m. Assuming Spuds paid up front. We also have Costa on loan (with a deal to possibly buy?) Also sold the 'keeper. Who I didn’t rate. I agree the one we kept is worse. Or might be a better shot stopper but keeps causing absolute panic when he constantly comes out. For a premier league team, £3.5m is peanuts and he's British. He might prove to be better than I think he is but to me he was a flapper and a bit weak mentally. to be replaced by an Arsenal U-23 loanee - The squad is weak. I think we need bodies. Pablo is a year older. It's probably more important we kept Phillips - as much as I don't want to like him (stroller and pointer), he improved immeasurably under Bielsa and is the lynchpin of the team - home and more so away. Has he actually signed a new deal yet? In 6months he can sign for anyone and leave at the end of the season, although we will get a 'fee' it's set by tribunal if you're under 23? Or have the rules changed? Next season is all up in the air. If we go up, the manager doesn't even have a Contract, so whilst I hate short termism, this season is all or nothing, so loan deals (Harrison, Clarke, Costa etc.) are fine by me. You can imagine he'd keep some of the team (he is pretty pig headed) and we may even win some games if we went up but we'd also get pumped. We need to get promoted first! -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Walker via Leedslist Sent: 08 August 2019 11:36 To: Leeds leedslist <[email protected]>; ejwalsh <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Eddie Nketiah If this kid and the keeper are only signings today questions have to be asked. Our best defender, top goalscorer and best youngster sold for millions to be replaced by an Arsenal U-23 loanee who is apparently a wonderkid but has only played 8 times for Arsenal in the last 2 years. I'd be pretty disgusted by that. Still a few hours to go though so I'll save my criticism till then.
