Very enlightening. Especially around how transfer funds can be allocated and spent. Also surprising how low shirt sponsorship deals are

Thanks for posting JB.
I liked the posting on the Transfers thread and thought it should be on here mate.

how havnt we gone for szmodic? his goals would get us up

Class player. Agree totally. But I have seen a few say he’s too similar to Piroe but personally I’d make him our starting 10 no doubt. I think he’s surely Prem bound though..

Seen some credible reports that Jack Clarke wants a move and wants to come to Leeds. Sunderland want £20m though

swap him for bamford!!!!;

Lord Bamford.

biscuit bones bamford

Still time in the window to get the transfers in, hopefully its all been kept quiet like the Rothwell deal and they will get over the line soon.

Hey that`s my name for him Tad.
They would want 19 million plus Bamford for Clarke I reckon.
Also not sure about Szmodics as I don`t think he fits the way Farke has us playing.
Unless he plays Rutter out wide and Szmodics as the 10.

Yeah Rutter would go on the right. Or interchange them at 10. We have very little depth at 10 and im not sure Aaronson is suited there either.

Well I know it’s only the efl cup but there’s some very worrying signs at the moment.. defensively very very poor but it’s coming from midfield too.. Rothwell only goes forward, Ampadu looks like he’s still wanting to play CB. Shape is awful. Wober…. Wow. Absolutely shocking. Looks 2 yard off the pace and uninterested.

If this doesn’t sharpen the minds of the owners in the market I don’t know what will. Farke under pressure imo if we get beat at West Brom

Lots of really poor individual performance, but the distance between the lines is all wrong.
We can't play Piroe and Bamford at the same time, there's absolutely no mobility between them

Piroe is far too ponderous on the ball. Doesn’t move it quick enough at the business end. None of the squad players did them selves any favours tonight but Rodon Ampadu Firpo etc look well off it too. Next 4 games are tough as too…. Massive games

Said something similar wrt to Bamford and Piroe.
No pace in either of them.
Rothwell is fine as long as he has a couple of midfielders defending.
He doesn`t fit into a 2 man midfield for me.
Aaronssen and Wober don`t bother playing them along with Bamford.
Rodon out of position so many times.
The only one with any credit was Ampadu who just got a 5/10.
6 goals conceded against 2 teams we should be beating is very worrying.
Let`s hope we put something together on Saturday and the following week against Wednesday.
2 more defeats from those two and questions need to be asked of the owners and Farke.

just back from the game. farke, yet again, was totally outhought by a younger manager. tactically he is clueless.
and the so called experts in the transfer dept should be sacked.
