No proof he is going there but anyone suggesting Leeds aren't a bigger club than us is delusional. Bigger fan base, more major honours, bigger stadium & better training facilities. They have fresh investment from Red Bull and finished higher than us in the league.

Take off the sky-blue tinted shades stop acting like jilted lovers and move on. We have a ready made replacement in Rudoni anyway

Never said anything else about him other than an attention seeker. You only have to watch City Unseen to see him for what he is. More interested in being on camera than anything else.

What's the score then have Red bull got the lot?

Main sponsor and minority stake holder but there are whispers that they will have a big say in how things are run. Leeds are owned by the 49ers Enterprises (American football background) so makes sense they would tap into Red Bulls football knowledge. Also RB as can't do their usual full rebrand of a UK club it could be the toehold they have been looking for here.

Think selling Hamer has proved to be a good thing overall tbh.

Not sure its proven either way at the moment. Last season we brought in Kitching and Torp after selling Hamer. I suspect if we had kept Hamer and not signed those two we would have been much more likely to have made the play offs.

This upcoming season however we also have Mason-Clark and Rudoni coming in for arguably the remainder of Hamer's fee so hopefully the balance will prove to be more in our favour.

Having got over the disappointment of him not wanting to renew, I think we were extremely fortunate he chose to sign for us for free when he did, I thought we had zero chance of him coming, thought Walsh was the more likely... look how that turned out! He loved the journey, the lads, the gaffer & truth be told - just playing regular & being wanted im sure. Came to us for nowt & looks likely to leave for nowt. He has helped us in a major chapter in our modern day journey... ill be gutted when but im sure glad he was here for the time he was. Never forget the blue wig signing announcement. good luck & we move on & up.

The Hamer fee is long gone by now. We've done the maths on here before.

Nice edit to remove calling him a chav.

You are such a miserable prick aren’t you

 

[fatso]

None of us worked for money during our careers did we?
We got up and went to work just for the fun of it, and of course because we liked our workmates.
Get real, he is doing what we all did, and if you didn’t, or don’t. Then you are a mug.
Mind you,your boss will love taking advantage of you.

Wtaf are you waffling on about?

You whining women moaning about somebody working for the money.

 

[blunted]

Yeah he’s some player tbf, probably too good for the championship. Wish we had more players like that, pacey, good finisher, good dribbler, great all round player.

O'Hare before his injury (apart from the scoring goals bit).

Yeah before his injury he was that sort of player but I don’t feel like we have those sort of all rounder type players in our squad atm.

I’m not for one second saying we should sign Bellingham, obviously, but someone with a similar set of attributes just toned down to a championship level, i.e. good at dribbling past players, good at passing, scoring, defensively sound etc but championship quality, not world class quality

that's not much of a wish list. anything else?

Who's moaning, we're just saying it as it is.

Obviously not Bellingham but a championship version of him is what we need, a good all-rounder at this level.

We're good as it is, we've got enough in the squad to finish top 6 and there's more to come in yet.

So you think we shouldn’t sign decent players? Let’s get in a load of league 2 wannabes and give Godden and Allen a 5 year contract extension, that’d be your dream

All I was saying is we should be aiming to sign someone with the all-round abilities that Bellingham has but at a championship level, i.e. a Bellingham-lite, a midfielder that can do a bit of everything but at a level that’s not world class, basically a bit like Rutter, can defend a bit, dribble past players a bit, shoot well enough, pass well, has a bit of speed. He’s clearly not Bellingham, I’m not saying that, but all of his qualities are in a balance that is similar to Bellingham’s style.

There isn't a championship version of Bellingham and if there was he'd be way out of our league.

Tbh I think we should be aiming for top 2, that should be our goal and if we fail then at least we’re in the playoffs. I think we’re in such a better position than a lot of other teams in the championship that we’re capable of getting promotion via automatics, we just need those extra spicy signings and we’ll be there.

I don’t know if there is but there might be someone out there? That’s the job of our recruitment, and I think they came close with Stamenic, he seems to have a similar “balance” of abilities from what I’ve seen (limited evidence to go on I know).

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I imagine that would be pretty ideal tbf We probably just need someone more “Bellingham-lite” as I’m guessing we can’t afford Jobe

nowhere near as good

Sunderland fans aren't massively enamoured

Good player but he probably suffers because of who his brother is

If a championship team had a future Bellingham we would know and they'd cost more than we can afford.

Trust the process in making us a stronger team that doesn't need 1 or 2 players to be great

 

[robbiekeane]

Lots of people have the chance to swap companies / jobs for more money but choose not to because they like the environment, their work colleagues, they believe in loyalty etc etc.

Not for “never work again” money they don’t.
As it stands today, he’ll likely still need to work after his career that might end any time in the next 4 years, and very likely at the end of 4 years.

One move to a lower end prem or recently relegated club means never have to work again

That’s not the same as moving from company A to company B for an extra 10 grand a year

To be fair to Jobe that move really wasn't a good one for him. He went there following the coach from Brum I think. Sunderland were/are a basket case. He's done ok for a youngster but it seems like he has been used in a load of positions and far more than he probably should have

True but if our scouting is good then it’s possible we can sign future stars for a decent price, that’s what Doug’s “model” seems to be all about.

(Btw just for the record I think it’s highly improbable that we ever sign a young Bellingham, his ability is obviously extremely rare, I’m just thinking it may be possible to search for a Bellingham-lite that’s all.)

Moves for Hal O'Peenio and Kai En in the works. They're a SHU in.

Your delusional to think we can get an extra 25-30 points on last season in one transfer window. That would be a circa 40% increase on last season. We would need to spend 50-75 million to do it and we clearly aren't doing that. A dose of realism required I think.

 

[robbiekeane]

He's in it for the money. He's a journeyman chancer who will likely spend the rest of his career moving from club to club

I hate to break it to you mate, but they’re all in it for the money every single one of them. It’s how a job works

Journeyman chancer hasn’t he only ever had a permanent contract with us and Villa?

Leeds have just sold Archie Gray to Brentford for £35 million plus add ons.
