    It's the Saudi top club (equivalent of Man City) thats going for Salah.

    It's the Rotherhams of the Saudi leagues that are coming for Cooper and Costa.

    We were never going in for one mate, Farke has said he thinks Firpo will thrive in this team and style he wants to play

    We're ****ed. A Struijk/Firpo tag team of errors on the left side of defence.

    OK we need to outscore teams then. Who is our new #10 that will create for our shiny new toy Piroe?

    I don’t have so much of a problem with firpo playing at championship level, I think he’ll be fine. I have a big problem with his rate of injuries. Can’t seem to stay fit for more than a month at a time

    Plus we have Byram and an improved shakleton. Plenty of cover there. To me it's all about who plays left side centre back.

    If someone said this seasons starting squad or last seasons I’d pick this one. I think it’s an excellent window all things considered. We also can’t under estimate how good Gray and Shackleton have been.

    Our front line, we lost only two, Sinisterra and Jack, we gained Anthony and Piroe, that has to be better than anyone’s wildest dreams

    For me it's just make sure we don't do the ****ing usual getting beat by a club bottom of the pile and pointless...oh and at home, you know it makes sense <cheers>

    We focus too much on believing we need to have a natural conventional number 10

    Summerville, Anthony, Rutter and Gnonto will all chip in with goals and assists. There isn’t a better team in this division, I can’t help feeling you’re reflecting on what we’d need to survive in the PL. There would be PL teams who struggle against our front line, we’ll rip it up in this division

    We’ve not even mentioned the addition of Spence and the two midfield guys, it’s looking rosy

    Agreed. We have a great squad for this division. Not too many teams in this league who wouldn’t rather have this Leeds squad (and manager)

    Harrison is no big loss as he was the slowest and the one i was prepared to lose over Summerville and gnonto.

    And for the one I shall not mention who compares us to Southampton ;) they raised over £160m in player sales yet spent only £10m

    Proper club Southampton. Told their best player this season and top scorer Che Adams that a loan to Wolves was out of the question and he had to stay and help the promotion push.

    <laugh> Still think Southampton are decent though. It’s between them, us and Leicester as to who goes up automatically.

    Jack was too hot and cold cold cold for me. Sinisterra I’d by lying if I said I’m pleased he’s gone, but we all wait for his next injury and Anthony really is a good replacement.

    Adams, Sinisterra and Jack, let’s hope they have good seasons as the funds we can raise next season will be welcomed

    With their loans, they’re obviously setting out not to concede and win by the odd goal. I’m slightly jealous of their defence
