Orta signings

Lasogga played 32 games, scored 10 goals and had 3 assists.

He was played with bad knees, which required painkilling injections.

Hardly a flop for me and definitely the best of that list.

I don't think we can get too reactive to these though. They were low level risks signed to get some bodies back in the youth teams.

Not too relevant but interesting that this season he has played 15 games, scored 11 goals and has 2 assists and Hamburg is also top of Bundesliga II.

Lasogga may be harsh but he was paid a fortune by the club and was a complete liability in most of the games he didnt score.

If we go up this year it will have taken the owner and Orta two seasons we have been out of the PL for fifteen,

How so, I've banged you all.

Lassogga was utterly dreadful. A truly exasperating player.

I think Vernon has yet to leave.

I wonder how many of the list of flops were managerial issues rather than Orta's problem. Clearly neither TC nor the Heck had the foggiest about how to manage at our level. If we had played to Lasogga's strengths I fundamentally believe we would have had a goal machine.

A little harsh to label Blackman a flop. Bielsa wanted to keep Baker too.

Bouy might actually be one of the worst signings the club had ever made

I mean how is it that he is 25 and yet not played for either of the club's that have signed him?

Blackman cost wages and only played a couple of league cup games. Couldn’t oust bpf. Flop

Baker made only a few starts and was subsititued at half time twice. He then didn’t want to stay and fight to be part of a promotion side. Wages won’t have been cheap. Flop

At Getafe Saiz has made 3 sub appearances in the league, playing a total of 40 minutes and his pass success rate has dropped to 35%.

Not looking good for getting £6m.

He's started 2 cops del Rey games, hopefully he did better in those.

This is why I was so furious when details of the deal came out.

Financially and from a club perspective it stinks.

It is purely 100% in favour of Saiz AND Getafe.

There is no way we’ll get £6m AND we’ll be left with a player still on our books to get rid of who doesn’t want to be here.

The thing that falls me the most is that there is £0 fee which coiuld have been issued toward another signing to push on in January.

Id be utterly amazed if we got £6m.
His displays at Leeds certainly dont merit been anywhere near the top end of La Liga and i honestly think he will drift out of the side as the season goes on.

Should he return to Leeds there will be a fair few fans who would not be happy.

It's not like we are missing him anyway, I'd be happy for hi to go permanently at this point.

He does not want to be here for family reasons and he is a nomad anyway so might as well get rid

Played many games after taking pain killing injections in his knee(s). It was obvious he wasn’t comfortable.
