    We can only go by what we have as it stands, hence my comment.

    No point in worrying about losing the flair players and needing to bring in replacements because it hasn’t happened yet.

    Was thinking the same, if theyd have read Leeds forums, the weakling would still be with us.

    Dan james was selected 20 times for league games 15 as a sub so only started 5 and scored 1 goal.

    Maybe they do and we can blame Emu for the fact Firpo is still here? <whistle>

    Looks like Villa and Chelsea are ready to play ball for Adams if it's true I think he will go. apparently we have a £25m release clause which is bollicks.. Everton are on the verge of giving up on Willy according to sky but I think they will try one more time. I can take Willy going we got plenty of options out wide but Adams will be a massive blow.

    So played over 50% of the games for a Top 10 PL team.

    I'd say that makes him good enough for the PL and I'd much rather have had DJ last season than Aaronson because he's as absolute 100% er.

    Adams will be gone so wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Other clubs know he's actually a very good player so they wouldn't just want him on loan either.

    Jammy you can’t sugarcoat a failure they had an option to buy and refused. He couldn’t get into a Fulham side who was expected to be relegated but they had a coach who knew his stuff. He wasn’t prem quality mate

    No option to buy as I remember.

    Only Shackleton & Roberts had those.

    Last year, Burnley, Sunderland and Boro… probably the 3 best footballing teams in the champ… relied heavily on PL loans.

    you would think so… just his current injury and injury record that could scupper it. So Wouldn’t be a shock to see him go in January.

    No bodies in before Cardiff. hearing its only going to be one in if one goes out wtf is that all about? where's this aggressive transfer market push. We have lost a boatload. We are gagging for a LB after 25 year of looking. we don't have a fit 1st team forward for the start of a new season or someone behind him. how long are these two going to be out? are we just going the same route as normal we will get by. we feckin won't. Knew nobody was coming in before Cardiff but this one in one out has got my goat.

    There is a belief that existing squad members such as the aforementioned quartet, with their Premier League and European experience, exceed the calibre of player Leeds could realistically target for those positions in the transfer market.
    so we not bringing players in who are no better than we have how many times have we heard that. you telling me there isn't a player out there better than Hjede and Byram for LB? No offence to both players but my god there is and plenty of them. keeping Sini,Adams,Gnonto,Harrison is a successful transfer Market so the club say. I agree to to a point but the club say we are primed to act if we lose a bluechip player where's the Rodrigo,Wober replacements? the answer to wober is
    "Following the departure of Max Wober on a season-long loan to Borussia Monchengladbach this week, Leeds have assembled a list of central defenders whom they hold an interest in, but are prepared to wait for the right deal in what could prove to be a fluid month where outgoings facilitate incomings."
    So in other words we aren't primed we just waiting for a cheap one coz we aint paying the going rate. very Aggressive Leeds.

    Holding out for a decent price is fine by me. But holding out till the last days of the window in my opinion gets you what's left at the bottom of the barrel.
