An alternative for Pablo is badly needed. Expecting him to carry the load for the whole season is not sensible - especially after the way he faded last season. He is another year older now as well. I am unsure if Roberts is the answer but he may be needed as Striker cover as both our main strikers are injury and loss of form prone. Another creative AM is needed I feel
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Roberts is a different player, if we have decent wingers it will take the pressure off Roberts in the middle, I think he can do the job, he glides past people and gives us an injection of pace in attack.
Not only are we short on numbers and cover now at centre back and the adverse impact of having to play Phillips there sometimes but critically we are short on height.
Jansson took ownership for attacking the ball defending on set pieces and attacking on them.who in the squad we have now is going to do that as well as he did.teams will be well aware of that and also seen the keeper's issues at the end of the season.
If we do not sign another centre back who is commanding in the air it would be a big exposure for us.
Need a proper centre back beside defending I can’t see us scoring from a set piece but can see us conceding plenty and need a quality player to play in the top half of the pitch, don’t need anymore strikers we have 3 and they scored 27 between them last season it’s elsewhere we need goals and chances, don’t sign anyone else and we may struggle to make play offs, football will be great and we will have some good wins but might not be enough.
A cb has to be priority. If White or Cooper are injured we are relying on Berardi.
Id like an attacking midfielder as well although wouldnt surprise me to see Bogusz get a game or two this season
%'s are what they are, can mean anything, who the Fluck knows what he means.
The 10% i assume is the contracts of Roofe Phillips and Klich.
Meanwhile, West Bromwich sign Ajeyi and zohore in one go...adding more pace and power to their team.
This OZ trip seems more and more like a conv
To be fair, we all raved on about WBA's business last season and look where that got them.
They have lost Rodriguez, Gayle and Dawson. I don't care who they sign - That severely limits the squad.
1.3 for Ajayi
Our owners are useless

Having lost Rodriguez, Gayle, Rondon, Dawson, Adarabioyo etc
Improvement? Probably not.
Ajayi to WBA - 1.3m
Helander to Rangers - 3.5m
Both absolute bargains
Helander and Zohore.
Imagine us getting those two......😂
Good point up there about set pieces.
That was a struggle for us at both ends of the pitch last season. Won't improve with Jansson out and no one else in

That would be top 6 sewn up.
As per, people on her drastically over egg the quality of other people's signings.
Zohore is a great signing for WBA but they’ve had a terrible window overall.
Lubo - I couldn't agree more.
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.
