    I’d say they couldn’t give a toss. 50m to them is like 100 quid to us. Now wasting 50m on jja is a totally different matter when you’re near potless

    Tbf, we did get some add ons last season, as they won 3 trophies, the CL being the big one.

    I still believe they only bought him, to stop Liverpool getting him, they knew the L'pool midfield was light and didn't want a main competitor becoming stronger.

    I hope Farke has gotten over his right back experiment now. Left back may not be as big a problem as we thought. I honestly think Struijk is a liability and too soft for this league. Many people comment on his distribution but his job is to defend and that is the worst part of his game. I wish now we had signed a better back up goalie and not gone for cheapo Darlow.

    Still can't believe we went for him as he had done nothing in his career. Have we got a ruling on his wages yet?.

    Yeah, read that. My immediate thought was that from now on, as a Leeds fan, I withdraw my support for the scum loving ****. Hope he fails in every tournament.

    I think that's fair.

    We were desperate. We had Bamford as our only striker. Eddie had gone home and it was January so options were few and far between. We gambled and although we won the jackpot of promotion we lost out on Big Kev.

    Thought I read we’d lost that too and have to pay them. Fairly sure I did

    Never supported him after he paraded one of his trophies around the old toilet

    Two players I forgot to mention in the OP regarding players on the move in January: Leo Hjelde and Klaessen both were wanted in Italy but FARKE started using Hjelde as a LB but stopped and now vanished. Klaessen was bought to be No2 to Meslier but played maybe once for the first team and then Robles brought in and now we have Darlow. Interesting to see what happens if Meslier goes in January….

    I think that’s more than fair. Positively generous in fact <laugh>
