Squad update
posted on 22/7/24
This is an interesting article, Paddy and Georgi are our highest earners as VOF says £70k a week.
Wasn't long ago that we were paying Modou Barrow £20k a week.
Inflation and who?

70k was his Premier League wages.
circa 50% reduction in championship hence why those with a loan clause left sharply, and why those with a loan clause continuation have left sharply again.

Just back to the squad … it seems to me that we’re either running a risk here hoping that Gnoto, Cree (etc?) don’t go, or we know they won’t in which case it would be nice to hear something from the club
---------
Don't hold your breath. 49ers are holding stuff VERY close to their chests...personally I prefer that.
----
If we do end up with late transfers out and subsequent holes in the squad, the 49ers will deserve all the criticism that will come their way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
...and that would not be fair.
As I've said before, we're shopping in the 'Premier-League-Ready" market...and that seldom opens till last two weeks of August, ie. AFTER our season has started. Am 99% convinced there will be 2-4 player movements in/out during that time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 49ers can’t have their cake and eat it. Last year’s debacle was all the fault of Orta’s ridiculous contracts apparently (notwithstanding the fact that Marathe was in situ at that time).
No, the 49ers are now fully responsible for this season’s transfer dealings and need to be held to account accordingly.

Marathe was in situ at that time, but, in't it funny the way part owners have a boss that has more to say!..
The 49ers were not the main owners so couldn't do more than they did, now they're to blame if things go wrong, but it has to be said, with those dumbass, (Orta’s) deals in place, they brought some decent players in, and at the moment there is nothing to say they can't bring more in!..
AR tried to get Cellino to pay 50% to a transfer budget that he wanted to do, but Cellino refused it, he said that it'd be worst than throwing money down his drug hole he used to sit on in his private Elland Road cubicle!..
Cellino didn't have to do anything because at the time he was the main owner so AR didn't have a proper say!..

just read a stat - he's earned over £14.5m as a Leeds player (that'll have Batty choking on his beer).

Fiddle playing D 1 ck Turpin.

You didn't actually read a word I wrote did you ?
Or if you did, chose to ignore it cos it didn't fit your agenda?

Exactly! When he signed his £70k a week contract his stock was high. He would have taken a 50% wage cut after relegation and at £35k a week he probably thought “I’ll take that unless something better comes up”. By that time his stock was much lower so he is still our player (or we are stuck with him as some would say).

I don’t have an ‘agenda’.

I just listened to the full interview with DF following the Harrogate game (https://www.leedsunited.com/en/news/daniel-farke-we-are-on-a-good-path) and towards the end of the interview he talks about the possibility of a ‘some incomings’. He then goes on to talk about Wober et al coming back and I wasn’t sure if he might have been referring to them … but then he repeats that there might be ‘perhaps also a few incomings’.
I hope we get any deals done asap now.

(the link in my post above doesn’t seem to be working - here it is again. Anyway, the interview is easily found on the main OS and is worth a listen).
