Then just buy the players you need with the
giant pot you generated from players sales
and no issues whatsoever.
You cant have situation where player is guaranteed to play, however poor his form at the expense of a player we own.
^^^
The reports I've read didn't claim that extreme
a measure was in play here. It just said Farke
could not guarantee 'minutes.'
Bensons stats are awful. 27 and hes had one good season ,🫣

And not good enough for Burnley it seems.
"The Yorkshire Evening Post have today reported Benson is someone who could be offloaded by the Clarets due to their need to sell in order to remain compliant with P&S rules.
However, the report also suggests Leeds could find it difficult to tempt Burnley into selling to them due to the potential of being a promotion rival."
Why do we waste our time as a club chasing these
types of deals? They rarely go through. Only waste
time in the window.
Benson also injured most of last year. We already
have that player on the books: Bamford. Don't need
another glass figurine.

the Prem clubs want guaranteed playing time for their loanees, this means someone else's player gets nod ahead of our player and its not based on merit.
Carvalho last season was one who had guaranteed minutes. He’d have been a brilliant signing for us in January, but you couldn’t have a situation where he was playing over any of our attackers because we had to. The lad who’s gone to Sheff Utd from palace reportedly has that too
I agree with the club not signing players with those sort of deals and unfortunately that cancels out most of the top young players from city, Chelsea etc

If we make the right loan signings, in the right positions,
I'd welcome not seeing Bamford. I won't be bothered
if Gruev or Dan James have to come off the bench.
I'd be okay if we signed a loanee striker who could
bag goals for fun, but relegated Joseph to the bench.
He's still young. And learning. He'd learn from the
PL loanee.
I'd be okay if we got a keeper who forced baguette
wrists into the number 2 slot. I'd be okay if Firpo wasn't
our first choice left back. I'd love it if we got a genuine
#10 who forced Aaronson, Piroe, and Rothwell aside.
Not suggesting we do all that. But, remember it was
shrewd loans that helped Southampton and Ipswich
go up. While we're still down here. If you're smart,
they can actually help your club.
Besides, this squad isn't good enough right now.
Getting in a tizzy over players who aren't good enough for the Prem, not getting minutes is idiocy.
The more I read the comments on here and think about it I hope we don't get Benson now which really would leave our realistic options of a wide player at just Jaidon Anthony and hoping Gnonto isn't flogged off to the highest bidder....Tick tock tick tock!!!!

Wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign anyone in this window, certainly not for a sizeable fee.
Stinks to me of making the club as cash rich as possible before a RB takeover.

Hard to argue with this on the current evidence. It looks as though the 49’ers looked to get promotion last season. Once that failed, they decided to sell up and sell out this season. My guess is that with player sales and parachute payments, they are close to break-even on their investment. Whatever they sell the club for will mostly line their pockets. I am sure that the amortised payments due to us can be sold on to the next owners. The 49’ers seem like a twenty-first century variation of our previous custodians, with better suits and brighter smiles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't heard anything, but, no one has been able to clearly explain why Red Bull bought in and only bought a part, you would expect that to only go one way in the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds very similar to the way the 49'ers came in under Radz, with a 10 million investment.

But once again, we’ve left it so late in the window, there’s only the scrag ends left - and for over-inflated prices. Our owners are a f@cking joke - and a bad one at that.
Have had to leave it late.
Thats what happens, when half of squad can leave at any point, how can you plan 🤬
...and there's still a fair chance Gnonto will go if reports about his agent are half true.
There's others in the team exploring options to leave before the window closes.
Alioski is available on a free. Might lift some spirits
I thought Gnonto had got rid of his bad agent?

I've been reading that his agent is pushing very hard for a move even tbough there are no clauses in Gnonto's contract. - Gnonto has seen his pals leave and wants to progress his career like they are doing. - Could be all hot air but I can see some logic in it.
Still no new signings announced I see with only 2 days till our next game the signs still look ominous don't they?
Really need some positive activity from Leeds today I think so any new player has a chance to play a part on Friday night.

Wober (no surprise), Meslier & Struijk (plus Gnonto rumours persisting).
I don't normally post stuff like this and not 100% sure any of the above will actually leave, but advised by someone very close to the club, so i'm giving it some credence.
I now wish the owners would just announce they've sold the club and they're handing over complete control to Red Bull and clear off as their performance since the play off defeat has been totally disingenuous and disrespectful to the massive loyal fan base keeping schtum to this degree after selling all our key assets is highly suspicious.

Could just be there reflecting squad being unsettled with all the departures. They'll know the team depth is getting thinner by the week. Ultimately its down to the club to accept offers ........
