Scored 1 already. Dan James scored 15 last season and he had no track record either. Georginio should've scored 15+ last season.
You are forgetting his 6 goals & 16 assists.
The midfield we have now won't make that total between them.

At this rate, we won't even make the play-offs.
With Summerville & Rutter gone, how do you replace 27 goals & 25 assists, without spending serious money..
That's my fear. To lose Summerville, Gray, and Rutter in one window (possibly Gnonto) would be awful. We've got Aaronson and Wober. But our best signing has been Rothwell on loan.

Piroe I imagine would play in his position. He'd score more than double that. It was only Saturday fans were bemoaning his finishing and giving the ball away, now he is irreplaceable!

Piroe has yet to prove his worth as a 10. Was non existent again tonight.

I believe he's our second highest earner, after a certain fraud, so would massively lower the wage bill. Archie and Jimmy weren't on much.

Isn't great being a Leeds fan.
Our squad being ripped to bits in front of our very eyes!
And we are still lumbered with Bamford, Piroe & Gelhardt.

Not sure about that.
Georginio is a better attacking player than any of the shower who started tonight.
At least our owners and manager won't be able to hide behind the excuse of we've got no money,
Bring it on !!!

Exactly. If Farke can't find good replacements for £20m odd million, then he's in the wrong job. Jimmy was £1m, Gnonto £4m, so can be done.

I wonder if the rest of the squad were aware of the situation before the game, and if it’s reflected in the scoreline.
Great preparation for West Brom anyway.

Marathe did say they were going to be aggressive in the transfer market.
I took his words the wrong way, I was of the understanding we were going to be progressive, silly me!

I believe we should be able to find a good playmaker, striker and winger for £20m. Use your scouting network and not just overpay in England.

Problem is, Jimmy & Willy took 1-2 seasons to come good.
We ain’t shopping for potential, and Farke ain’t the only cog in the machine.

He's been non-existent for months. When he's not scoring goals, what the hell does he offer to the team?

I won't bite. This is about Rutter not Piroe.

You could say the same about Georginio. He's as much a liability as he can be wonderful.

I suspect we will overpay for Rowe now, but not sure that's a good idea.

Have you been asleep like our board in the last couple of months, we haven't signed anyone in nearly four weeks. We haven't replaced Summerville yet! We are too busy in getting shot of everyone.

I heard tonight, Leeds have pulled out of the Rowe deal.
