Luke Murphy

Currently baffled as to why we're trying to get rid of this guy. He offers a far more solid presence in the middle than our current midfield options.

Grimes has looked light-weight and anonymous so far, Hernandez is blowing hot and cold and Vieira - whilst a talent - lacks experience and can look naiive.

I'd stick with Murphy for now otherwise if we get injuries in that area we'll be seriously short, especially with no emergency loan window anymore.

Everyone seems to have forgotten how much debt we were in when the skint Arabs arrived at ER. That debt was compounded during their illustrious reign and we still have a negative balance despite the reduction in recent years.

I'm not (Wakey....) suggesting that Cellino has used the income wisely but no doubt he has reduced his loans to the club as a result of recent exits.

I'm annoyed about the ground albeit it wasn't on my list of priorities.

I've read much recently about the youth policy (if indeed we have one!!) but clubs in our situation are a selling club. There's no point in w4nking on about the fact we should be keeping them if we have a owner looking at the long-term. The fact is, we don't and that makes us no different to most of the clubs in the UK whether we like it or not.

I remember the good old days so the recent history is particularly unpalatable to me as I'm sure it is to most people but it is what it is.

I hope Monk gets a run here and is not subject to the usual knee-jerk decision making that has existed here for far too long. I'm pleased with the majority of signings made and if they get their act together quickly and Monk uses them wisely, then there is no reason why we can't progress to a top six place.

We may have been outplayed by the opposition in certain games but the standard of those teams hasn't been outstanding. It's more a case of Leeds United not being at the races.

MOT!!!

I got it badly wrong about Cellino, but can't admit it

Because he can't tackle, can't head, doesn't track back or follow players running in behind him. Spends too much time adhusting his hair after every single engagement.

90 percent of his passes are sideways or backwards.

When he does pass forwards he nearly always falls over as I think he surprises himself and they are always nearly good balls that just run out of play (so carp then)

When he scores it's usually because he's sliced or mishit the ball.

I know he took a wage cut but we are still not getting value for money from him. He doesn't cost us games but he doesn't win us games either. Get rid.

Wakey, I think I've said exactly that young man several times over but if you can't read or choose to ignore it there ain't much I can do about it.....

I'm backing the future owners, I'll send you an invite Wakey for the opening party. If you thought you'd never heard of the current signings I can't wait for the future ones to arrive.....

If you don't think Murphy tackles or runs back then you clearly don't watch him play that often. His passing goes forward more often than other players.

Season ticket holder so I do watch at least half his games live. He does run back but doesn't pick up oppostion midfield runners often enough for me.

Batty tackles. Murphy tries to tackle. I'd rather have 4 players like Phillips Viera etc. for the same wage as Murphy is on. He is no better than them. We have too many central midfielders so we might as well get rid of the expensive ones.
