Re: [LU] Bye bye jack
I hadn't realised that Harrison was yet another who could leave on what is essentially a free transfer. I'm intrigued as to what happens to the now 7 loanees in a years time. Are they entitled to another loan ad infinitum until all their contracts run down? If by some miracle Farke puts a promotion run together, are they expecting to come back? I guess with the lengths of their contracts, some of them would still have some residual value in even 2 years time, otherwise all these loans are essentially free-transfers. Orta (and Radrizanni I guess) must have known all this. However, the new ownership are just about the only people who could not see this debacle happening, so they should have had a plan. I'm sure they could have laid out some money before now, and then recouped some later, or Perhaps it really is just to pick up half a dozen Premiership rejects on loan on deadline day. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Dave Dowden, a legend, a Totty Twin, a pie man!

Re: [LU] Bye bye jack
I think that is the most salient point John. No amount of money or whatever they pay this lot with these days would be worth keeping them. Clear out yes that's a must, hopefully with those at the helm having a clear plan for replacements. Having said that when has anyone in the boadroom at Elland Road ever been trustworthy, competent and capable? The Jury remains out here in the rainy Northern Pennines. (Incidentally I will be ending my boycott of Elland Road on the 2nd of September for the Wendies debacle, all corporate and what have you).

Re: [LU] Bye bye jack
Agree with all that. Harrison, only 1 cross out of 13 was decent and his passing at times was terrible. He had a knack of finding an opposition shirt with ease. The team we put out against Brum was a Div 3 team, absolutely no quality whatsoever and we could have played all week and not scored. Thing is, unless Farke's taking off his leather jacket and playing up front I'm not sure he can change it much if Sini, Willy and Summerville won't play / are injured. Did you see Farke in his leather jacket ? It was boiling and he was pacing up and down in his leather jacket , pissing sweat like a pig. Very strange. This is an unbelievable position we find ourselves in and yes it is comparable to some of the shambles in the past. I've never been that criticial of Raz, Orta and Kinnear because of Bielsa but this has just ruined everything and they will be remembered for it. Total shambles. I missed the first 2 games because of a holiday but am back for Friday but it certainly won't be anything like the 4-0 Pablo game and I'm expecting the worse.

Re: [LU] Bye bye jack
The problem is .. which decent, or even half-decent, player is going to want to join us? It's all very well for us to all berate them for "not getting players in", but in the current financial state of football, it aint that easy. Just last week a goodish player chose Bourne-bloody-mouth over us, whilst I don't know if he actually had to choose but Hamer, an alleged target, went to Sheff-bloody-ield United. My hunch is that we agreed a fee for that Nat Phillips, but his agent said "hang on, let's see if I can't persuade some Premier League outfit to buy you." Lu-bloody-ton Town will probably be panicking enough after the next game or two that they will see him as a good prospect. I think our only hope is to pick up a few goodish lads on loan at the end of Aug who are deemed surplus to PL requirements.

Of all the players who’ve gone, Rodrigo aside, none of them were good enough for the Premier League. Obviously I’m hoping some serious recruitment plans are in place for the next 2/3 weeks, but the players who have gone pretty much got us relegated/almost relegated twice in 2 seasons - they simply are not good enough.
