Thought it was Farke’s aftershave.

How long can he sit on his arse? Next season in the prem, we'll buy a forward/striker, Piroe will be back up and Joseph will be headed back to the 21's. This season should be the season to break through if he has a future at ER...
I believe in him, and dont want him sold, also I think he will have more chance of goals in the Pl as it will suit him as he will probably find a bit more space and also have the benefits of VAR protecting him. I think he will get plenty of minutes as we wont be able to afford a striker. You are looking crazy money now and we dont have it

This season it has been hard for Farke to persist with him as has been mentioned already the pressure and the stakes are so high.

So it would be a backward step to cash in at this point imo

Ianacheo to Boro
Obrien to Swansea
Dennis to Blackbure

Three players I would have had in here at some point

U21s? :lol: Absolutely no chance, he's way above that level. People don't realise how poor it is.

You wouldn't buy a striker for next season? I know he's better than that btw, should be getting a lot more game time than he is.

I would if we go up, but zero chance Joseph drops to U21s. If we go up, I think we sell Piroe to a relegated side.

For a team with no money, Boro have made two good signings today.

Piroe stays for me, could do as well as Wood in the prem. Plus I think we add a striker pushing Joseph down to the #3

i wanted Latte but once again the leeds board did not want to fork out the funds for 1 of the highest scores in this Div.

if we were not able to get in a number 9 or 10 we should of brought in a quality CB but DF only likes a small squad. IF we do get promoted and keep this one plan manager we get regrated in season one.

Yet the much maligned (on here) Piroe scored more goals :P

Regrated sounds painful, in fairness.

But you told us we weren’t getting promoted unless we signed Latte Lath, so it won’t hurt too much.

I dont advise regrating cheese. You’ll almost certainly grate your fingers.

Being grated is bad enough... it must hurt, but being regrated is a bit over the top, once is enough.

12 goals in 30 games is hardly impressive and yes I know on minutes played blah blah blah but there was a reason he was left out and it wasn't because he was injured.

That said played well on Saturday so let's hope he's now hitting top form.
