    It's the club that buys players. If we bought players and the takeover didn't go through why would the 49ers care who was bought and how much was spent?

    Naymar or Bamford, let me give that some thought…….. spits red wine all over PC <laugh>

    Now if that was a fact it could only be because Poch has spoken to Bielsa to find out what he saw in Paddy

    We haven’t had a really good goalkeeper in years, Messier has been decent but that’s about it. Think we should stick with keepers that know about English football, particularly the championship. They just don’t get bombarded with crosses and big physical centre forwards as they do here and that’s where they struggle. Plenty of experienced goalies that are more than capable for this division out there.

    Apparently we beat Barnsley 9-1 earlier in a behind closed doors game at their training ground

    I don’t know the details of the purchase… whether it’s contingent on them ‘Passing the test’. But if it is then radz will still have control. Whichever, As I see it, at the moment it’s likely both parties would need to sanction any purchase. Deal I’ve been involved in, the financials are agreed after due diligence on accounts and known running costs. Difficult to get anyone to agree on new costs.

    On the outgoings, The loans/sales are players invoking contractual clauses that can’t be avoided.

    We don’t need to sell anyone to buy new players.

    From a Barnsley fan:

    Barnsley played a behind closed doors friendly against Leeds today. Lost 9-1. James Norwood opened the scoring. Sounds like both started with pretty much their strongest line ups then brought younger players on. No media allowed so I wasn’t there

    He clearly hasn’t sorted the defence out yet. Piss poor. Farke out.

    If Joseph scored 4 today I’d be amazed if he didn’t jump ahead of Gelhardt, I’m not convinced Summerville will leave, I hope he doesn’t

    There seems some confusion with regard the scorers, one report says Joseph got 2 not 4 and one saying Summerville wasn't due back until Monday.

    The big question mark for me doc is .... if Leeds utd are expecting to bounce back to premier league football next season 2024 - 2025 then how come we are selling gnoto and Summerville ? Surely we would keep them as their value would triple if we get promoted at end of this season its ludicrous to think we are looking to sell gnoto for a fraction of his worth and Summerville when if we kept hold of them both and Leeds go up we could triple our money , and for what to help everton ??....

    Think one of the problems FARKE has got is that we have loads of individual flair players who didn’t gel as a unit and were relegated for being crap. FARKE needs to find some solid, experienced players to build a base upon and then insert some of the flair players to make a team.

    Some guy on Twitter posted some pictures, they were somewhat out of focus but Summerville was one that several indentified.

    In some respects I feel fairly confident about the players we have been enough to do some damage in the championship. However a touch of realty needed as the top 6 of the championship is about the same as the bottom 6 in the prem, so if we struggled last season in the bottom 6 and have moved on a dozen players what makes us think we have already improved and be down a dozen players?

    The only difference so far is a different coach
