I'd be happy with that.
Best rumour so far imo aside from the Pboro lad.
Really like him as a player....much too good to be sat rotting away on a bench.

Clubs stance on Chris Martin is his 30k a week is to expensive.
Fair enough, dont think he is good enough to break our wage structure for.
But, without reinforcements i worry for us this weekend

Maybe they should send Lasogga back to Germany. His wages off the bill would make Coldplay affordable.

Think he would work really well with Saiz, Pablo and Alioski feeding him, clever movement and more mobile than Lassie.

Problem is we have another owner who prefers to do his business on the cheap !

I'm guessing there is more possibility of getting someone like Leicester to fund part of his wages than there is with Martin at Derby where they would be helping out a rival.

I agree.
He didnt used to be that slow either, although he is older now.

Am I reading that tweet correctly ?
Radz will be discussing with fans in February explaining the reasons for the lack of transfer activity in the January Window

Well whatever happens it looks like we wont get answers till AFTER January.
I like Radz but again, were this Cellino or Bates then there would be much more fuss.

Credit to TC as well.
He has been less subtle in recent weeks, he knows he needs a few quality signings.
Glad he isn't covering for Orta and co anymore so much.

Surely with near capacity crowds at Elland Road and little debt we should be able to compete with the teams around us when it comes to signings/ wages, you really do need to speculate to accumulate, did anyone else notice the striker for Wednesday against United last Friday? Looks a real player with good first touch, skill full and quick, everything that we are lacking at the moment

You would think so, still unconvinced we'll make the signings we need

Alfredo Morelos worth a look maybe.
21 year old
Signed for £1m by Rangers in the summer from the same club we got Aapo Halme.
Top scorer in Scotland.
Probably wouldn't cost more then a few million.
Young but already a decent scoring record wherever he has been.
