Tanaka Ao confirmed.

Ao is pronounced 'Ow' btw

Looks a very shrewd signing. McKenna at Ipswich really liked the look of him when they played against him in pre season.

8/10 window for me at the moment. We’ve not really replaced Rutter as it stands. Solomon is not an out n out 10. Not by a long way. He could be handy there no doubt at this level (if he stays fit) and I like look of Gnonto there but both are a gamble in what is an absolutely pivotal position in Farkes set up

someone i know knows hamer. he says he's coming. Big wages offered, he'll be our highest paid player. let's wait and see

What happened here - I thought this was nailed on?

He would have made a huge difference - where are the goals going to come from?

New contract for Gnonto, 4 years

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:13 pm  

Great news. I suspect he’s going to be our 10

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:59 pm  

Pretty good window.
Still think we should have gone that extra 3 or 4 million to get Hamer and or Sallai or whatever his name is.
Sam Johnstone at 10 million, Nat Phillips and Mason Holgate maybe could/should have got.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Aug 31, 2024 1:33 pm  

The money was there. I find it strange that they didn’t look elsewhere if Hamer was deemed too expensive. You can get a damn good 10 at this level for £10m to £15m..

We will see if they have played it right or it backfires.

Really good win. No excuses for not getting promoted this season

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Aug 31, 2024 4:50 pm  

Very good solid performance and I think the players brought in will add that bit of class.
At this stage I don`t see a lot changing in the top 6 with Sheff Utd, Burnley, West Brom, Watford, Sunderland and us in there.
