Overall a good window no doubt. Light in midfield though and hopefully won’t cost us. I’m sure they’ll sort that in due course. Hats off to Orta and his team and of course to Radz. What an owner!!! Brilliant

when you look around and see what business, or lack thereof, the likes of Burnley, Palace, Southampton, Sheff utd have done and then the panic station late desperation moves Fulham have done to shore up their defence you have to be delighted with how the window has gone for us. Already many of the signings look top buys and improve us and i have no doubt Llorente and Rafinha will soon be up to speed. We are lucky we have the pull of Bielsa to make signings those mentioned clubs couldn't get near and fully backed by a competent team who are capable of going out and delivering what he wants.

can't wait for the season to resume it's a great time to be following Leeds.

Hernandez, Klich, Roberts, Shackleton, Struik, Phillips - think we can last with them until January. I just hope we get on scouting now.

Regarding JKA leipzig aren't going to let this go, however i think we have the stronger position.. The contract was dated, if we are promoted by X date, we need to sign him. Due to the pandemic we weren't promoted by x date. Obviously special circumstances, but you need to go from the black and white wording of the contract, similar to messi and barcelona. What this will mean potentially is that:

- future contracts like this have a stipulation for this situation (leipzig tried to renegotiate contract after lockdown for this)
- leipzig will never do business with us again

Could get messy the JKA situation. Leipzig like you say will never deal with us again.

Not very well judged with the timing given all that’s going on. It looks like a power grab by the big 6 clubs on the face of it however some of the proposals are worth looking at. Can’t see it going ahead though, surely there’d be legal cases for years on the back of it if they reduced the league size.

Well, the two scum clubs Liverpool and Man U have just been embarrassed by the rest of the Prem. Project Big Picture has been kicked to touch.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Oct 14, 2020 5:29 pm  

Yep great news. I like that they’ve voted for a league 1 and 2 rescue package though. It’s long overdue

Tough game tomorrow night. Very good team Wolves. Anything above a draw would be huge. Raphinha looks to be in the squad he’s mightily impressed Bielsa according to sources close to Elland RD which is great news
