Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

You’re being desperate

 

That’s fine mate, I want you to do well, not at Leeds expense but if we don’t all take points off other teams we’ll all go back down

I wasn’t here to argue if he is any good, just questioning the excitement over someone who failed at basic contract negotiations and who doesn’t get on with agents, it’s a recipe for disaster and a strange appointment

We had Victor Orta, very hit and miss miss miss yet he came highly regarded. Like I said though, it’s the agents who make clubs aware of availability

 

Wouldn’t mind Andy Diouf from Lens now we’ve got Ghisolfi.

 

Why are you even on here you Yorkshire pudding man, do one

 

Honestly not, just googled him and several outlets reporting this as the reason he was let go

 

Just interested in who those around us are signing, same reason your posters post links of Leeds targets.

 

Same here, but I walked the mutts already, so will be sorting my fishing gear out for a boat trip, then watching the cricket

 

That's purely based at his last club though. Where he was constantly over ruled and not allowed to fully complete his role. Ownership at roma has been mad for a while.

Here it's solid, like his previous appointments at other clubs. He knows the manager and owner well.

It's not comparable.

 

Surely we'll be looking at the players

Totally agree mate.

 

Fair enough....I too hope we both hold our own next season...I've always enjoyed our encounters with Leeds over these many years.
Over the last 4 years or so since KLD takeover,we've seen exponential improvement in our club,both on and off the field,and I therefore have complete trust in this appointment....if indeed it is confirmed. Time will tell.

 

Lucky bugger, I’m halfway through fitting a bathroom for my daughters mate.
Her mate told me my daughter said, my dad will do it for you he’s doing nothing now that he’s retired.

 

Not on the Leeds board they dont

 

Personally hope we get more northern clubs up and doing well ahead of some of the small fan base southern ones like Fulham and Bournemouth

 

I have faith in the hierarchy for it to be a relatively successful appointment but success is subjective and, as you say, at what cost?

The most important thing for me (and I appreciate I’m likely in a minority) is that we retain an identity as we attempt to transition into establishing ourselves as a Premier League club again.

I’d hate for us just to become another generic Prem club, not only would it be a bit dull for me, but it would lower the ceiling of what we could ultimately achieve in my opinion.

The last four years we’ve established such a clear and obvious identity and I’ve loved it and it’s been fundamental in how well we’ve done, the pride we’ve felt and how much fun it’s been along the way.

 

Isn't that the goal of retirement mate? Work ya whole life to have a few years doing nothing!

 

Absolutely this. I'm excited and disappointed and confused all at once. Time (the transfer window) will likely tell.

Hard to doubt KLD really isn't it!?

 

@Makemstine Roger is a prolific poster on our forum, he’s always been made welcome though

 

Isn’t their ownership a bit of a basket case? It could explain the issues. Even so they finished high up the league table

 

I'm fine with him having a strained relationship with Agents tbh, I think good DoFs will have that. Agents want what is best for their client while the DoF should be doing what is best for the club - that means there will be conflict

I know a few scouts that know him and they speak so highly of him so that's def enough for me to get excited by this

As always time will tell how good or bad this appointment is going to be

 

That's great news @RTB . Retirement is great. Look forward to catching up next season. Enjoy your retirement. Here's to a long and healthy one.
