Keep looking around on match day to see if he’s painting the stadium or making teas for his money. Maybe he could clean the seats. Another ridiculous situation to arise. No idea why the player hasn’t come back and made a fist at trying to get involved again. He was very good at this level for us. No idea why we agreed some sort of mutual arrangement. He is under contract and should be at the club plating. If he Dosnt then we can fine him wages at least.

"Maybe he could clean the seats."

Haha, was going to suggest he gets his pigeon mess cleaning kit out.

I really liked him, he linked up so well with Nketiah.

Another stupid, loan, obligation to buy deal, how come none or our outgoing loans have obligations to buy eh?

Not sure if all the transfer windows have ended now. Best we can probably hope for is he leaves us for nothing and decides to rip his contract up. Can't understand why we would do otherwise if he's said he's not going to try and be involved.

problem is when you give these players silly wages that no one else is willing to pay.

I'\m making up these figures, but 50k per week here, 20k somewhere else.

It's a financial no brainer.

However careers are short, players need to be playing, surely we can't be paying him stupid money, surely, not Leeds.

There is a good chance, there will be articles just like this, in a few years time.

Just change the name to

Kristenson
Wober

Llorentre
Arronson

Etc etc

my understanding is that we're actually looking to buy back some of players we've loaned out, to help us be able to pay no tax in this coming year. This way we're also able to loan them out again next season thereby saving their wages again, so we save 80 mill instead of 40m, which really helps us with FFP.

Makes complete business sense.

Hi Jonty, can you elaborate on buying back a player we already own…how does that work? Thanks!

My understanding is when the loan period ends the players return to the club that owns their contract. Leeds will not pay for the players to return to the club No money will change hands.
The 49s may save 80 million over the period.
There are supporters of a club, who want the club to do well. Then there are owners who have legal/financial interest in the club. It is legitimate to be a supporter, but it is not legitimate to claim to be an owner unless the individual has a significant financial interest in the club, buying every ticket, and every replica shirt does not make one an owner.

Give over, Jonty!

There are plenty of other ways we can conspire against the odds to lose vast riches and blow golden opportunities, it seems!

However, Groundhog Day is certainly possible next summer. If we go up, all will be forgiven and forgotten by most, I would imagine, but if we don't, it's all going to get very complicated...

I had seen someone on FB alluding something similar and thought I must have missed something here. I think that tells us much about the way the club is run that even a joke comment has legs ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bang on, when these things sound possible, then you know we're screwed!

Didn't realise he was still with you, last I heard he was playing for Nuno in Saudi. He was brilliant for us in his first season kept us up single handed. He got injured towards the end of that season though and was never quite the same player after, not a serious one but he didn't get a proper pre season and never quite got in to the season. Us signing Jota didn't help his chances either. He'd probably get back in our side today mind.

thing is with Costa, was really pleased when we signed him, thought he was good player... never really quite worked though baring a few decent games at the start.

its super easy to have a pop at the contract after the event though. bit of lazy complaining tbh. hindsight and all, but in theory, on paper, he could of really on, especially under MB, but didn't.

thats life
