Rodon/Wober combination is a better fit but doubt Farke would drop Struijk.
If it`s true we have a tight budget then something is seriously wrong with the sales we have made plus the RB cash.
I hope it is mind games so we are not having to pay over the odds.
If we don`t spend in the region of 30/40 million this year then I would be concerned.

Every football club has limited resources. Especially, if you're outside of the PL. If you're in the market for anything that involves some form of negotiation, you don't go and tell everyone exactly what you want to buy, or how much you have to spend.
It's also worth pointing out that the RB sponsorship and the Grey money have likely been applied in last year's accounts, not this year's.

The lack transparency is annoying, but if the owners don't think releasing certain information is going to help business, they won't release it.

And that`s my hope JB that we are playing our cards close to our chest and at the same time bringing in the right players at the right figure.
In the Championship just like the PL you can`t get away with a very good set of starting players.
You need half a dozen other quality players as back up such as Rothwell, Wober who I think should be in the starting eleven. 3 more decent signings with what we currently have should be enough for top 3.

Yeah we need 3 more. Graham Smyth saying he expects Leeds to go for another midfielder a right/left back and either a winger or a 10 or maybe both to replace Summerville. Needs doing quickly as a couple of injuries and we will look thin and can’t afford a slow start again

Leeds are in talks with Norwich for Johnny Rowe.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Aug 05, 2024 8:56 am  

read that. I'm guessing £10m will be needed

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Aug 05, 2024 8:57 am  

just seen that, in his last year of contract too. Very good player. Would be a great signing

Is there a Norwich player Leeds haven't been linked with?

To be expected mate as Farke knows the players inside out and knows if they will be a good fit for us.

99% are fake, created by agents to get a new contract or bump up the transfer
