    I suspect life has moved on since that post, as most rumours are just that this one probably was too.

    West Ham apparently keen on Ronaldo Vieira. Possible £17M move on the cards. Anyone know if we had a sell on clause ?

    sell on clauses are pretty standard nowadays, especially with younger players, so I would say yes but what it is, i have no idea.

    Our ex players with a sell on clause never seem to get sold on <wah>

    Danny Rose has been 'on the verge' of being sold on since 1975 <doh> (or so it seems) :biggrin:

    Why pursue a striker in the summer when we had one and sold him off cheap.

    even he went on a run of not scoring for some matches we should have bought quality and experienced championship striker , forest have strikers who score so do west brom , why could leeds not do that because radz wont sell some of his stake and let arabs come in with serious money to get us up , seriously we have got in defence alioski who is not a defender , tommy cooper who will F.CK UP when it matters we need 2 quality defenders and 2 strikers , and bielsa does not play roberts who has scored before and could be used as a striker

    Would you seriously give Orta cash to buy a striker? I’m not sure I would

    I would not trust orta with the tea money. He would probably buy some cheap inferior crap that no one likes and commit to a four year subscription. Oh and I am getting a load of stick from a Rotherham fan. Seems we are everyones favourite to laugh at. Leeds are falling apart and all that. Hee bloody Hee.... The worst part is I had to agree with him.

    If we fail to go up this season and Bielsa walks, Radz needs to seriously think about how much the Orta scouting network is costing us. I know there are plenty that feel he is not investing enough, I don’t see it that way myself. I’ve no idea what Nketiah cost us in wages, £4m to loan him and I know Augustin is £35k a week and £2m up front, crazy money to get someone else’s player fit. When you think Roofe asked for a pay rise to match Bamfords wage and we said no yet we can throw all the money we have at loan strikers who don’t fit the way Bielsa wants them to play or are not ready, someone isn’t doing their job

    If we fail to go up, I hope Radz goes. Not interesting in listening to the love ins anymore about him and how he has supposedly transformed the club. Just not interested. And the moron has been on twitter again having a go at fans

    I think he has buyers lined up, just depends if we are sold as a Championship club or PL. I think he was ready to sell 12 months ago but was as surprised as the rest of us what Bielsa achieved in the first season so he rolled the dice

    For what it’s worth I think Bielsa will go at the end of the season even if we do by some miracle get promoted
    Also think Radrizzani will sell up no matter what but I don’t think he will get as much as he would like after all what has he got to sell

    Thing is I don’t think there are any big investors waiting in the wings. I suspect the qsi thing is yet another smokescreen to generate hype and maybe try and attract buyers

    If I were Bielsa... I’d look at our history, past performances and results over the last 15 years and I’d compare them to where we are today under him, first season just missed out and this season sitting second. I sense Bielsa is upset at those starting to question his team selection and decisions, I believe you’re right and he will depart no matter what come the end of the season.

    would not surprise me if he kept the stadium and rented it out at 2 million a season.
