Orta says 90% done

Helander...Swedish International, 6ft4.

Would have sorted us right out.

He doesn't say 90% done bringing in players.

He just says 90% done.

So he might mean there is more players leaving.

The only thing "90% done" means to me is "substantially done."

Wonderfully vague, could mean anything but is definitely not an accurate mathematical measurement.

Next 2 targets are apparently Chester and Darlow. Wouldn't say to no either but I'd rather get a number 10 or a forward before a new keeper.

We have bamford roofe and Roberts.

I'd be annoyed if we signed another striker before we sorted out defense

My instinct - like many other Leeds fans - is to consider Radz and Orta as a pair of clowns who know a lot less than they think they do about football and it's buying-and-selling machinations. Seeing Pontus go for £5.5m and Saiz for less than half that, gives the impression they don't have a handle on the real worth of players but also that while on the one hand they are implying money's tight, on the other they are chucking it on the fire. But is it too early to make judgement on the efficacy of this pair's dealings? This time last year we were lambasting them for the lack of new additions to the squad and even (ridiculous though it now seems) for the massive gamble that was Bielsa. They had a plan and that plan almost paid off. So I'll put my money on them and trust that they will take us out of this division in the coming season. BUT if Roofe and/or Philips are sold, all bets are off.

Why would you expect more than 2.5 million for a player who wants away, flopped out on loan, will be on decent wages, has precedent for stupid suspensions and is currently being investigated for match fixing?

They've done well to get us anywhere close to what we've spent if you ask me.

Exactly, add to that the fact he has had more clubs then you could shake a stick at then I thi k we actually have not done too bad with getting rid of him at all, let alone for a fee.

Reckon 2.5 mill is good business by the club considering.

absolute steal in my opinion. didn't think we would get anything. i would be disappointed if we go into the season with the cb's we have i wanted to strengthen that position even if we kept jansson. costa will be a big addition and sort a lot of problems going forward but without shoring up the defence or playing players out of position we aren't improving on last season's finish.
