    Good Morning Everyone

    Mateusz Klich is undergoing a medical at Thorp Arch this morning!!!

    Is he any good; well Phil Hay seems to think so....

    Phil Hay‏@PhilHayYEP Jun 21
    Increasingly clear that Leeds are very keen on FC Twente midfielder Mateusz Klich. FC Twente will take some persuading.

    Here he is in action :-





    What does this mean for the future of Hernandez?





    Charlie Taylor is off to Burnley apparently....

    The wantaway left back has been in discussions with the hierarchy at Turf Moor.

    Is it really that much of a step up from Leeds?





    It's the 3rd week in June and we have already spent:-

    Hadi Sacko £1.3m (true figure)
    Pontus Jansson £3.5m
    Mateusz Klich £1.5mil




    James Beattie has written us a goodbye letter (Not us personally; you know what I'm saying)!

    Been listening to this on the way to work, what a classic!!!

    Must be some blow to Charlie. Agent leading to believe a glut of top clubs would be scrambling for him and he ends up with Burnley. Clearly a lifelong dream haha. New lad sounds promising. Good to see we're actually paying money for players. It'll still be a worry till we see them in action as all signings are a risk. At least these guys won't initially be looking for daft wages and will likely put in a shift unlike the grossly over rated and overpaid British ones. John terry going to Villa in a wage of 80k a week. This is a club that lost 130m in their last financial season. Good old ffp once again at its best eh

    Morning all. Great news about Klich as a few teams after him due to a great season with FC Twente, but he changed his plans as soon as we went in for him which is nice. Hernandez will still have a job to do and may get a free roaming gig but Klich links up play, creates and scores.

    Glad Beattie said goodbye properly and in fairness once was going there's no job for him so forced to leave too.

    WE may see at least another 3 signing by early next week as it seems at least 2 are pretty much done?

    Taylor was told by Monk he had got it all wrong all season and now this slap in the face proves the point. Charlie cant even get to WBA as Pullis wanted to steal him on the cheap and wont pay more than £4m max for him. Burnley wasnt the target club but at least he may learn from Dyche but looks like he would have been better off staying at Leeds.

    morning ... well, Radz is stepping up to the plate for sure ... professional backroom setup in place, proper scouting going on, signing players with over £6m laid out so far ... finally we have decent leadership in place, and this stability can only help the club's confidence to grow

    Klich has been described as the Polish Toni Kroos, and he looks like he'll be effective at Championship level ... be interesting to see who else we add, but it's clear that ball players are on the list

    Taylor has completely messed up, and Burnley is a huge step down for him ... forget the fact they are in the Prem, that means nothing ... they are in the bottom twelve in the Prem, so in effect just an extension of the Championship ... unless he starts playing like Bale his career is going to stutter and fade, such a shame because he could really have taken off at Leeds ... his agent has a lot to answer for

    Tommy wants to get Leeds playing Cruyff inspired football, which will be immense if the players can get it right ... it shows the philosophy Radz wants at ER, and hopefully things start to move quickly with the squad and we see the results on the pitch ... I'm starting to have good vibes about this new regime

    Forgetting the money side of it you have lost a premier league quality player and gained an unknown entity
    Monk Beatie Pep gone and have Tommy and his side kick

    Is that moving in the right direction do you think you have moved forward ?

    Morning all. Taylor from us to Burnley? His advisor is really earning his money. Decent player though he is, with a bit of effort from the team and manager this season, us swapping places with burnley for next season would be an interesting outtcome

    Billy, I'm told Deptford is an up and coming area. So it would make perfect sense to buy Millwall.....knock down the eyesore & cover the area with a few nice 3 or 4 floor flats. Definitely improve the area... & both of the 'Wall's fans could go down to the valley to support a proper team

    The way monks departure wasnt planned for bearing in mind he was clearly ****ed off over the lack of long term contract was amateurish. Not saying we should have kept him but a plan should have been in place.

    The new bloke is unispiring and resigning the players that in the end werent good enough last saeson doesnt bode well. The jury is out and the clock is ticking.

    Not sure the smt is great but I couldnt give a **** who is a director as its on the pitch that matters. Time will tell
