    You just said Leeds' second XI is so far in advance of ours yet they are losing heavily to another second XI whereas we lost to a full strength Preston.

    Had we not signed someone capable of playing LB when Huggins, Cirkin and Alese were all out for the season you would have been first in line criticising the club. You can't have it all ways man

    To be fair and I’m not advocating him by any stretch, but he’s won the League Cup, and been runners up twice, runner up in the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup and probably about 3 seasons less in the Premier League.
    I would have took that UEFA cup run, let alone winning the League cup.

    It’s irrelevant. You’re telling me that because Leeds are losing 3-0 that doesn’t mean the likes of Bamford, Piroe, Ampadu and Byram aren’t better than our equivalent players from last night?

    My point was purely based on seeing the players that are playing. The Leeds players on average are undoubtedly better than our second eleven players.

    A huge portion of the money brought in has not been reinvested and they have the highest season ticket prices in the league. Would you be okay with that?

    Still doesn't get you to the Simms or Conway fees.

    Leeds have been shocking night, they arent playing our 2nd 11 so we wouldnt know if theyd beat ours or not. On paper they look better but theyve been so bad tonight

    bore off mate. I’m not having somebody tell me that Rusyn is better than Bamford, Ba better than Piroe, Johnson better than Byram, etc, just because Leeds are losing 3-0.

    It’s allowed to say something “negative” occasionally mate.

    They sold Akpom and brought in Latte Latth in for 4m, and he is now worth about 3 times that amount. Pretty good buisness as far as i can see. They now have Conway in to play upfront. These are the teams we are competing against and we currently dont even have one striker that looks like being able to score over 5 goals this season.

    Whilst I agree to an extent; I wouldn’t be ower the moon to sign any of them, bar Piroe

    But that’s not the argument TC, you said he spent more time outside the Premier League, Im providing a bit of balance, as they have won something of note and have been to a final that we haven’t even come close to or likely to ever be near

    We have wasted money though. My point shows this.

    Does like. Or very close. Through Hemir in and it does. 3 **** filler players for 1 starter. That's where we need to change
