Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Been a closed shop for a while 64, only real option now is to do a forest ,risk a points deduction to stay up. Risky but potentially worth it. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but not so sure on that

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Yes. And you've only to look at the Newcastle player situation. They are a successful club, playing in the Champions league but still their player wants away to Liverpool so what chance do we have. Crazy times Leon.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Indeed Swannie, and Newcastle have missed out on a few signings.
Location & money is key for today's star players.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Further, we are relegation fodder, are not a trendy part of the world, and havent deep pockets, plus we are shackled with a couple of high earners who we would prefer not to have around.Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 29, 2025 2:32 pm Guys you got to ask why ! are they offering more money it can't be game time they are overloaded with players ,is better quality players to learn from or is it he didn't like what farke was offering .I think there is a big issue with recruitment either with how it's presented or don't like the way farke works and still no marquee signings ,so do we go for Solomon and that ain't a bad move imo.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Haven't you noticed? I don't post up any signings on our dedicated LUFC topic 'Leeds United 25/26 News/Matches/Players/Information' until they are officially confirmed, see link below.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Don't think Farke's rep is that high in this division plus his Bundesliga failure. He may also be geting a rep for being difficult to work with. Add to that a rookie DoF and team and we maybe considered high risk, the Niners seemingly wanting to do things on the cheap.. We've basically added players than don't really have anywhere else to go or are trying to get fit again with us..Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 29, 2025 2:32 pm Guys you got to ask why ! are they offering more money it can't be game time they are overloaded with players ,is better quality players to learn from or is it he didn't like what farke was offering .I think there is a big issue with recruitment either with how it's presented or don't like the way farke works and still no marquee signings ,so do we go for Solomon and that ain't a bad move imo.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
It is not about preference per se, we were loaning him, It appears Chelsea are signing him on a permanent, probably well over the odds. The money falling into his back pocket would be hard to dismiss. It is not realistic to believe he would rather stay at Brighton and go on loan to Leeds.GreennWhite wrote: ↑Fri Aug 29, 2025 2:03 pm Well if this is all true and he prefers Chelsea to Leeds then so be it. If his heart really wasnt in it to come and play for us then better off without him.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
I've always chuckled at the "plenty of time" line many bandied about... Get your main business done early, then fill the depth later. Overpay if you have to and trust your scouting (if you don't you shouldn't be in the job)
Ok so maybe we can't afford 12 M on a Longstaff had we left it, but who cares, you can get a Longstaff type on a free, loan or for 2/3 M later. Our bench maybe worth more than our starting line up once we're settled ...

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Wolves, Palace all came from the lower divisions.
Sunderland and Burnley have somehow managed to lure many new players in this summer. I guess the bright lights of Burnley and Sunderland are just too luring to resist.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Ironically, Chelsea will probably be buying him then sending him out on loan. Not sure what the player gets out of this. Other than more money.DDB220 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 29, 2025 3:25 pm It is not about preference per se, we were loaning him, It appears Chelsea are signing him on a permanent, probably well over the odds.

Re: Facundo Buonanotte-Hijacked, going to Chelsea
Yer I agree farkes rep ain't good in this league especially,you are right a few of the players we have brought are inj prone so why buy its beyond me,as a last resort get Solomon now or Sunderland will snap him up once they now we are interested at this time we are relegation fodder for sure especially with farke at the helm .The Subhuman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 29, 2025 3:21 pm Don't think Farke's rep is that high in this division plus his Bundesliga failure.
