If it is so crucial we have to get promotion this season which I`m sure it is.
Then why were we looking at the bargain basement once again in order to bring quality to the club?
We have known for 3 years we need a striker and a 10 and yet we didn`t get either.
Speculate to accumulate should have been our mantra this year especially as we brought in so much money with transfers out of the club.
For me it`s a no brainer.

We've apparently got money to spend so should just go for it and spend our way to the title. Am I right in thinking a breach of PSR this year wouldn't be able to be enforced if we went up anyway?

There should be no need to spend much more, there's enough quality in this squad to get the job done. There are no excuses.

Well we can't now, but come January, we might need to throw money at someone who can make a difference. Be it transfer fee or someone's wages on loan.

I still think we needed a 10 and possibly a 9 JB.
On the basis Bamfords always injured and Joseph was untried at this level.

yep. a quality 10, although gnonto may come good if he gets a run, and definitely a 9

How much did the 49's pay for Leeds?

Yeah they could do a Leicester... it's a big gamble though.

I agree. Bielsa had a weaker squad. But, i think we've taken a risk not bringing in a good 10, that would have almost certainly meant we would be too good for this league and easily into the top 2, not doing so makes things harder, but, i do agree we should have enough and Farke has to deliver now.

circa £170m

Ive just tided up the response on here to clean down the reports / flagged posts.

If anyone has any issues please reach out.

ESW.

should be 7 up. God we are wasteful. farke must be pulling his hair out

Yeah wasteful again but job done. But for the life of me I can’t understand playing 2 defensive midfielders against a shocking team where we have 80% possession. Tanaka at very worst should have come on at 50 mins.. if not started. Saw Farke described as a German Southgate lol

Piroe best finisher at the club.

But good defence does help get teams promoted and builds confidence

agree totally about piroe and an attacking midfielder. defensively bogle frightens me to death. awful

Why do Leeds find it so hard to score - they need so many opportunities to convert?

Said to my mate Struijk will miss the pen .
Well taken goal by Ranzani but missed another he should be burying same goes for Aaoronssen.
Piroes finish was sublime and I agree why not bring on Tanaka for Gruev at half time.
It`s great we have 70/80% possession and 15/20 shots in most games.
But I would sooner have half that and get the ball in the net ffs.
Three things that will hurt us this season are not converting attempts to goals, lack of experience and not a big enough squad.

can't blame the squad size or farke for missed chances. for me he has to find a place for piroe. against the poor sides I'd start piroe at 9.

Talking about the squad this is an interesting link to our current and past squads and who was earning what - harrison is on an obscene amount! https://www.capology.com/club/leeds/salaries/

I don't think those amounts factor in the 50%-60% wage reduction most of them received after relegation. There's no way Bamford is on 70k in the championship

there's no way piroe, signed for approx £12m, is on 15k a week.

3 big games coming up and should get 7 points.
I`m going 2-1 Leeds and I think the team will look like:
Meslier. Boggle, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo. Tanaka, Gruev. Gnonto, Aaoronssen, Ramazani. Joseph.

Solomon injured again, not ideal, sounds short term though. Bamford picked up a knock in training (LOL).. Struyjik sounds a worry though... Wober may need an Op...

End of Sept to end of October is quite a key time, if we come out of that in good shape we will be in a very good position.. it's a big if though... some tough fixtures and another international break..

strjuik trained today I believe. if we are there or there abouts in the new year I fancy us to on a run. when we click we'll take some stopping
