Gosh, I hate it when I barely touch my phone and the wrong button gets pressed. Anyway, the professional working life of a footballer is short so they need to get paid decent sums of money to compensate. So, i am not against paying good players high sums of money. Within reason. Scum paying De Heae over £300,000 a week is what I consider ridiculous.

Think Joffy is supposed to be on 20 to 25k per week.

If only the wages were linked to performance!

"Disparity" was my gist Hopey - inconsistency, imbalance, inequality no doubt the actual words used by Joe Gelhardt's agent Paul Stretford who'd have pointed out to Orta why young Joe was due a rise.


Yep your right, 'some' of the younger ones did recently sign newly adjusted improved terms offered by the club into their contracts in August 2022.

So Joffy & Greenwood now on circa £20,000 net per week (not sure of UK tax rates now) obviously pre-loaded with bonuses for set agreed personal performance targets.
Drameh is still under contract till June 2024 & possibly 3rd choice right-back but Ayling will become a free agent in summer 2023 so dunno who your money will be on to stay, Hopey, as Ayling has only played 244 mins this season.


Some Championship clubs would've payed more as would Euro clubs for such young talent with a guaranteed starting place - hence my previously made comments on differing Leeds young players development plans regarding assets to keep & assets to develop to only sell mantra.


Would think French, German & Spanish leagues would pay more for such English young talent if the players wished to expand their football & life education abroad for sure, as several young English players have proved & blossomed recently like Tammy Abraham, Bellingham & Fikayo Tomori.

Ayling - Forshaw & Robles are only first team players with contracts expiring next summer, 2023 by the way.

Club feels a bit like it is in stasis at the moment waiting for Radz to sell up to allow the 49ers to take control.

Strong rumours Foreshaw may go in January.

Players who might go in the summer

Cooper - think they will keep albeit he should go

Ayling - love Luke but think his days are drawing to a close

Klich - surely he will move on

Dallas - be interesting to see how he recovers and if Marsch trusts him

Llorente - not suited to Marsch ball but we did concede less with him in the team at the start of the season - sell

Drameh - if he doesn’t get game time he will want to leave

Bamford - no sensible club would pay the amount we are likely to demand.

Few loan players to go too Costa, Bogusz, Roberts and Poveda.

Firpo is on too much money to want to leave as no one else is realistically pay those wages.

Shows how much the squad still needs to evolve.

If we struggle at the bottom think we will get big bids for a lot of players not on that list.

Need to give him a run before the transfer window.

Rasmus looked really bad in the WC

Don’t hold your breath - JM seems to have a face fits policy - look at Joffys game time.

Well the Jan TW ain't too far away now.....

Appears Leeds have been given a Jan window 2023 lifeline as RB Leipzig will now 'accept instalments' for a fee of €21m (£18.1m) plus €340,000 (£293,000) in interest, for Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The legal battle’s conclusion has been revealed by German source BILD this week.

They claim Leeds are still required to pay the full €21m fee, as well as €340,000 in interest but are reporting that Leipzig have been ‘accommodating with the payment modalities’, indicating it can be paid in instalments.

Maybe enough available to manoeuvre some in's in the Jan window balanced with a few outs on loans to buy laters deals.

We might buy Augustin again.

As if we would be that silly.....
