Che Adams never going to happen, they turned down £15 Million in Jan and would probably want £50,000 + wages because wanted by prem clubs.
Just shows how far behind leeds are. I remember when we could have had le fondre from rotherham and Austin from swindon. Instead we signed barn door billy. Been going backwards ever since.
We could have had Rickie Lambert but we were outbid by fellow league 1 Southampton. Instead of fighting it out, we settled for Lamberts strike partner Billy Payntet
Afternoon all. Lots of talk on here about selling Roofe but very little in names suggested to replace him. Llorente would be big wages, he's out of contract so there's no one to loan him from and has barely played. Love to get Che Adams but as pointed out, well out of our price range, so letting Roofe play out his contract seems the most likely scenario.
But can Roofe juggle? Can he play with fire? Can he play as a central midfielder like Kiko? I very much doubt it. Hell, he probably can’t even ride a unicycle. That’s why Kiko is on top dollar and Kemar should be thankful for minimum wage and the opportunity to polish kiko’s large red boots.
If you like an intriguing read, have a look at the last 24 hours on Simon O'Rourke's Twitter feed. I suspect ge doesn;t get on with David Haigh these days ..... https://twitter.com/simon_orourke?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
Should get Elland to ask a few questions. He’s chatted to Haigh a few times on twitter if I remember correctly
I don't know what kind of beef DH and O'Rourke have. I remember O'R having all sorts of problems travelling back to Canada after coming to England. I think it involved his family, probably visa or other red tape.
Read that last night and today seen Haighs childish response. I believe O'Rourke has been shafted and believe Haigh is capable of this **** including forcing a split between Simon and Wife. I remember plenty on here feeling sorry for the cnut because GFH had stiffed him. Just like Haigh was trying to stiff GFH in a takeover of the club with his new mate the insurance guy. He arrived here with nothing except his job as a nobody in GFH then finds money to try and buy the club? Anyway if the latest stories are true with QSI I am thinking we need to move fairly quick to sign Marcello, Modric and Kroos. Those 3 should guarantee promotion
Simon did the web site for Haigh and set up a load of stuff for him in his fight against being a captured forgotten prisoner in an Islamic jail. He helped set up a charity and even set up a business for him because Haigh wasn't allowed to under the terms of his release. Simon got Haigh media coverage and got the message out into a wider world. Never been paid and then used Simons predicament with the Canadian immigration service to try and block him seeing his wife and kids....
Ok, here's what happened (allegedly) Simon O'Rouke was running some of Davids businesses. O'Rourke became unhappy with the amount he was being paid / unpaid. O'Rourke claims that DH allegedly forced him to sign a waiver not entitling him to apparent monies owed. Failure to sign waiver (according to O'Rourke) would result in DH interrupting O'R's immigration process.
David's pm'd me back. Apparently O'R was taking the p... Housed by DH since 2016, constantly drunk, trashed the place. Minimal work. And more but not the place to discuss
