    Good Morning Everyone

    The New York Times claimed today that Radrizzani has met with the head of Qatar Sports Investments for advanced discussions about purchasing a stake in Leeds Utd.

    So far, LUFC are yet to make an official comment, but sources at the club have rubished the idea!

    Is there any truth in the rumour?

    Radrizzani and QSI’s chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, are known to be long time friends., perhaps they were pictured together and assumptions were made?

    Financial Fair Play rules limits the amount of financial investment a minority party could inject into the club, so if QSI were to purchase a small stake, don't expect a huge transfer kitty this Summer!




    Spanish club Alaves are interested in signing Saiz this Summer with a reported fee of 2.5m being mentioned!

    Thoughts?

    Ekuban is on his way. Trabzonspor have exercised their right to purchase the 25yo striker for 1m.

    That's 3.5m in the kitty, plus a reported 4.9m as a sell on clause for Danny Rose's should he leave Spurs.




    Apparently Bielsa is keen to sign Luke Freeman from QPR.

    Thoughts?

    Morning all. Rose has been great for us. Think this is fourth season in a row we’ve got 5m for him reportedly. He’s the gift that keeps on giving. 2.5m for Saiz over 5 years will likely just about clear what we probably still owe on him if it happens

    Good Morning to Matt and co from adull Bardsey
    Freeman will be a great buy no other than the brolly man said this price £5M circa
    I believe that the QSI was done on May 16whereby we sold 10% and PSG gave us use of their youngsters at a greatly reduced rate win win situation I would prefer tp sell the lot however than we would be a force

    I'm going to Dachau next month when I go to Munich to watch Bon Jovi, not sure I will enjoy it, but I think it's important we remember what evil,people can do to each other.

    Dirty Leeds + Dirty money sounds like a winning combination to me! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Whichever way you look at it, we need investment if we are going to go up and not just become another yoyo PL club. The excitement of the PL would soon wear off if we were getting humped every week staring relegation in the face.

    I seem to use Wolves a lot as an example but until the Fosun billionaires came in and bought a few players of genuine PL quality in Neves and Boly etc... they were going nowhere under Morgan and Moxy just like Radz and Orta can only take us so far. The willingness is there but it takes more than that. Other players they bought like Costa and Cavalheiro were tearing up the Championship and hardly got a start last season. Our squad as it stands is no way close to a sustainable PL club and I guess Radz has finally woken and smelled the coffee. He should sell up, get his money back and a handsome profit and move on IMO. If he does that, he will get my full respect and actually go down as one of the best owners we have ever had for turning things around from the crazy GFH/Cellino days.

    In any walk of life, if you are not moving forward, you are going backwards. New ownership with some financial clout and the knowledge already gained from running one of the top European clubs will move us forward and hopefully put us back up amongst the elite.

    Morning all

    The idea of the PSG bringing more money in to the club is pretty good. If he throws money in ti the transfer kitty then even better.

    TBH I would rather have us concentrate on the defence and the strike force this summer than go for another midfield

    Yes near Euston Station, well it's more of a pub with bedrooms than a hotel, so won't be a total loss whatever happens <cheers>.

    Not sure I would enjoy Bon Jovi either.

    Re Dachau, you do right in my view. Seeing these places, reading up on them, its pretty sobering, but its good for the soul and to put your own troubles in context I find.
