At the end of the day it makes no difference what you call it. All I want is to field a team as good as last season. Replace each player sold with like and that will in turn give the manager a fighting chance. Think that’s all most fans want.
56% of the goals Leeds United have scored under Daniel Farke have either been scored or assisted by players no longer at the club. #lufc
As FARKE himself says any team wanting to go up need to score between 70 and 100 goals and as we stand right now we have Dan James and Gnonto, Piroe, Joseph and assists should come from these same players plus Bogle and Firpo. Not going to get anywhere near the number we need, so need some players please
They’ve took a gamble with some of the best Championship players, I think they’ll go down but they’ll have a super strong championship team
Although to balance 5. Those brought in for money and gone on a free (off the top of my head, sure some will come up with others) Drameh Perkins Bate Poveda
My own opinion… The club possibly wanted rid of Wober and Gnonto, they were hoping nobody would trigger Rutter’s clause. As the window has chugged along, they’ve been concerned that Rutter could go, if he did, it would make sense to deny Gnonto a move. Wober has nowhere to go, his wage has to be accounted for and why sign another CB Financially and because of FFP the board had no idea if they were going to have £12m to spend or £50m, they’ve played a fairly sensible waiting game. It makes no sense why they would suddenly not want promotion, if they were asset stripping someone please explain Bogle and Rodon
Perkins is on loan at Orient the other 3 will bring in money in compensation based upon the time spent in developing them. We got Poveda on a free but will get compo for him, Drameh cost £1m so will get that plus compo, and Bate cost well over a million and in fact was the most expensive of Drameh, Greenwood, Gelhardt. We paid WHU compo for Perkins, but we used him really in the 21s then sent him on loan. His contract ends next summer so we may not see him again, but will get plenty of compo. There will also be a sell on clause for Bate like we got nearly £800k for Max Dean, we also got cash from Jack Jenkins…….
Thought we paid for Poveda, you might well be right but I don’t believe we’ll turn a profit on any of them once you factor in their wages.
Poveda came with a fee, but from memory wasn't a lot Drameh cost £1m We stole Perkins from West Ham, but had to pay compo Bate was out of contract at Chelsea but he probably cost us a fee
That red hed kid from kid cost quite a lot, as did the Birmingham City winger that we had been chasing for a while
