He didn't say Monday he said once we're safe which was last Friday.

I am still disappointed we have not announced at least one good signing to brighten the spirits especially after one of the worst performances i have ever seen by a Leeds side. In context its up there with the Offiah 10 trys at Wigan first time lost to a Lower division side in 38 years.

There's nothing for the club to gain by announcing something now. They will wait until the ticket sales slow down and then start the trickle of good news to try to boost them.

If Josh Drinkwater is the rumoured Marquee signing then I will be very underwhelmed as useful player as he would be. Tom Johnson should be a player we should be be looking at.

But the money to get Johnstone would be through the roof, as he's on a new-ish 4 year contract (?) and now been called up for England. IMO we've got far more critical positions we need to fill before replacing Hall.

Not sure why we need a 4th halfback, but IF we were going to sign another, Hastings would be the player to go for

we need a winger. luke Briscoe is a championship player. nowhere near good enough

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Oct 02, 2018 5:56 pm  

Ideally I’d like a better winger, but he’s not as bad as you make out. He’s rarely dominated bringing the ball out, and is reasonably quick when he gets moving. I’d much prefer a top centre who I think would make him look much better.

Need quality, no more chuffing “project” signings.
