I do think promise signed a new contract after that 20m report, havent seen any quoted prices since.
I think our coach is next level with his intelligence, Wenger esq, lot of players who have crossed his path are happy to return. We shall see.Rodon, Struijk, Bogle, Aaronson, James, Gnonto all have PL experience. We’ve spent wisely so far, the marquee signings still to come *hopefully*.
The PL is so different to any other league, it’s impossible to say how any overseas players will handle it.
Most Leeds fans are remaining grounded, expecting a slog, there is certainly a lot of excitement over here.
Am I concerned about Farke - Yes but he really wasn’t backed by Norwich and I still wouldn’t swap him for your coach, I honestly think the PL is going to shock him, didn’t he get a team relegated in France?

Perhaps
Another very short player, I hope we're thinking about adding some heightPerhaps
Sadiki, Rongier and Diarra is just a midfield of rattersYeah I sent the Rongier article on the weekend about como choosing between him and Perrone - but forgot he was only 5'7.
Does break up play really well though, probably one of the best in the world in the middle third and disrupting the opposition and surprisingly not horrible in the air.
But can we afford to add even more small midfielders? Maybe
Which site rules have been broken?Think it’s time for the Mods to do a lil ban
So if the budget is only €20m for a striker I can see us signing a young talent who’s played some senior games from Belgium or France. Similar to Talbi. Who can come in a compete with Isidor and Mayenda rather than displace them
I feel it’s paramount we get a keeper who’s ready now. I’d sacrifice a bit of potential to get one who’s going to win us points this season
Great post marra. Roll on Shields on SaturdaySince KLD bought the club he has been adamant on sustainability and the club running itself financially. We’ve seen this with lower wage bills in the championship and lower fees to other clubs.
We aren’t just intentionally pissing the prem money up the wall, it has been thought out on these players and we’ve paid the fees that we are happy with and I’m sure financially are sound with (why would kld throw away his strategy now).
There’s no way we can be certain a diarra or Sadiki or talbi will make it in the prem. They are huge risks but ones the club have done their due diligence on.
It’s like fans of other teams think promoted teams can just buy 5 £40m proven prem players and guarantee survival. It’s ridiculous and clubs have to try and think outside the box to try and compete, that’s what we are doing. If it doesn’t work then fair enough, so be it, but all I’ve wanted us to have is a clear identity and strategy and we’ve got that.
I’m just enjoying the ride and what will be will be. Being grounded instead of excited will make no impact on what we achieve next season, so I’d rather enjoy it while I can.
Michael Walker of The Athletic has also said the sameNorthern echo say Hendo extremely unlikely to return and isn’t of interest to us currently - with that stance being unlikely to change.
