Simon does have a few million to spend.
He has admitted that.
The players he was after proved that also.
Our squad is weak and he knows that.
The first 11 is decent but the reserves, in midfield and defence are woeful.
You can forget Davide Somma for most of the season.
O'b is not match fit, and is struggling to perform just now.
Bruce is injured and I don't think he will figure in Simons plans anyway.
Likewise Lee Bromby..
We have young players making up the numbers on the bench.
Paul Connolly seems destined for the bench, or a loan spell.
Michael Brown is, like O'b, off the pace just now.
It was unfortunate that Eric L got that injury, or he would maybe be with us now.
As he is not we must get at least 1 good full-back: At least 1 center-back:
At least one midfield player.
2 of each would bring us up to par.
We have shed so many players in the last 12 months, I have lost count.
I have no problem with that, but our arrogance, short-sightedness, in not
replacing them with better players, cost us promotion last season, and remember,
this season is not going too well either.
We have all battered Uncle Ken, but Simon & Gwyn Williams (what does he do all day?) HAVE THE MONEY and are responsible for choosing & buying players.
We have played well at times but we are at the bottom end of the league, with the worst
disciplinary record in the Universe and 2 or 3 own goals!
There is room for improvement!!xD

It is amazing how many players we have nearly signed over the last 2 years.
I watched many teams in our league signing players without our problems,
ALL our targets ditched us or were too injured!
It does not seem possible.
Why or why do we leave it until the last day?
A nonsense!!
How can players who are not good enough to get into the top 25 at there club be any good at all?
Rickydoodelous!!

The only way to get rid of Ken is to find a buyer for the club!
Nothing else will do.
"Please buy our club" banners around the ground would be a good first step.
A full house may attract a buyer more than an empty one!
We don't need MP's trying to get into the limelight at our expense!
Let them sort the recession, that they are responsible for.
They cannot control the banks, so they are no good to us!
They are as bad as Ken!

I think we all feel a bit low just now!!:S
What concerns me is that Leeds Utd do not appear to have a plan,
and meander from one staggering step to the next.
We are great at letting people go - another two today, and the day is not over yet!
We have the makings of a decent first eleven, with no strength in depth to cover for injuries, suspensions and loss of form.
We don't need a big squad, but we do need 16 really good players to see us through.
Does anyone else see any plan for the team?
I know the hotel has been well thought out, and KB can now order the carpet and curtains!!xD

I think Simon and Mr B wanted Max to go.
I will be surprised if we got more than £2.5 million for him.
When Lucciano returns I expect to see Andy Keogh out left, in Max's place.

If Max goes we may have a better chance of keeping 11 players on the pitch?
We may find someone who can take a penalty!
Up front we are OK.
We need defenders!!

TSS "If this deal does go through, the big question is whether Leeds will have a replacement ready to come in before the transfer window closes?"
Nope!!
The money could be used to pay for the Premiership loanees wages?
Nope!! That would make us go over budget!
If it is true it is perfect timing for Ken!!
"Too late" was the cry!
They will say the money was too good to turn down, but they won't tell us
anything about the deal.

Twas ever thus!

Ken and Simon have said "we have kept our top players" let us hope they do!!

Blackburn = £225 for a season ticket.
You would think the place would be packed out every game!!:D
I wonder why the 'chicken pluckers' decided to buy Blackburn and not Leeds?
I wonder how much it will cost us if we get promoted??
Everton are having money problems but their tickets are only £399.
If they tried to put them up £100 it would still only be £499!!
They would get lynched!!
I wonder what the 'Office of Fair Trading' thinks?
Not a lot!!!B)B)B)

Yes, but he prefers his right!!B)

Before the season started I had Ramon as our 15 goal midfielder.
Maybe he will be 20+
He is an excellent striker of a ball with either foot but he is not greedy and will pass to someone in a better position (Max please note!)
He is a good sharp passer and has confidence to burn.
He is the hero we have been waiting for.
I can't wait to see him playing off Lucciano!!
If he keeps scoring he will start.
Somma was super-sub because he did not play as well when he started a game.
Two good signings in defence and we have a chance.
We need both Jonny and Adam in midfield. Ramon is not a tackler!
