That team made it to the playoff final or semi final 4 times. Let’s go again. We have cleared Bent, Baird, Bryson, Weimann, Russell and shackle. I’m sure Martin will be next. lets grab a couple of bargains and have a go. That’s a mass amount off the wage bill I’m sure. Ince, Hughes and Hendrick brought money in. I know we brought players but it’s the wages that kill us surely. Let the kids mould in. 1 year of having a chill and go again.. Where did Bryson go? ?

We just need to shift some of the dross. 55 minutes ago, RamNut said: Excellent. The popular forum classic. Invent an argument to then shoot down. All very interesting but nothing to do with anything i said. Sorry Nut, I probably didn’t communicate that clearly enough. What I was trying to say was your quote above implied (actually, flat out says) that we don’t need to invest in new players, just get rid of the dross. From that (and my in response) it suggests you believe the key to success will come from only selling the crap players in the squad. Forgve me if you think I’m making up an argument, but your initial quote suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would make huge savings on wages so that we become more sustainable. But don't sell the best players. Shift the senior players who aren't good enough to make the team. thereafter, one in must mean one out. Forces the manager to make the tough decisions. Financially we are then better placed to invest and build and improve.....whilst keeping the wages under control, so we don't get in this mess again.

Would surely be worth a pun to someone like Huddersfield, Burnley, Fulham. Really surprised nobody has snapped him up, maybe he wants to stay here having finally found a club he's settled at. Burnley already have better strikers and are after Jay Rodriguez who is better than Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely to be possible next season, not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am presuming the delay on the Vydra deal is due to the 'small procedure' to rectify a post -injury minor problem and / or Derby's stated unwillingness to let him go unless a replacement is definitely going to sign...……..maybe Abrahams. We are lucky that Leeds are still ready to wait even if they do have alternative targets if it falls through. But if they are paying what they consider to be mega bucks they will want to be sure he is medically A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Some interesting Nixon comments this afternoon. Looks like he still thinks Vydra will go, but at a much larger price than Leeds first anticipated. Good news for us, if that’s true. I’m hoping this deal will get sorted next week so we can start bringing in some of Lampard’s targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read that tweet and the inference I took was that Leeds were hoping to get him for £8m but weren’t too keen on paying the extra £3m that Derby want.They now appear to be looking at other targets which would seem to lessen our chances of bringing in any new signings.

EnigmaRam Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 As I said a few days ago. Leeds thought £8 mil would do it and we want at least £11 mil. Leeds need to cough up the extra or move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we could find him a role in a formation like that. If he starts the season like he did last season, his value would go through the roof.

Serious possibility as all the younger and best u21 players are playing it in England set up. Please sign the Brentford scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
