Professional pride is an interesting concept - seems to me what is missing is the desire to grind games out even when they are not playing well.  How many times have you said Sheffield Utd are a poor side yet without a points deduction they would be leading the table.  You are correct on paper not as good a side as Leeds yet they keep winning!!  Burnley are a good side as good as Leeds much better defensively not as good up front.  Interesting run in.


Bonus if you are making £1m+ a year what kind of bonus is going to actually make any kind of financial difference to these players?


Aaronson - what has he actually created since Christmas other than a chance for the QPR player?  Lacks basic skills and seems incapable of winning a challenge.

hopefully him!!!
odd good moments but never looked as if he'd ever be top draw. get £10-12m and buy muniz

Yeah get shut. Very unprofessional of him and probably shows why he wasn't a success last year.. he's not got the right attitude. He could have asked for a transfer but still come along to pre season tour.. its only in Germany. I'd hold out for £15m+ with a big sell on clause.. or loan him out somewhere, where he'll score a fair few (Rangers anyone..).. then sell him for a lot more next year.. he's still got 3 years left. But, i do get it that Leeds really could do with raising some funds to get Muniz and Paixao in the here and now... 


Interestingly, this now leaves us with only 2 strikers, 3 if we manage to get Muniz. Also from YEP, we don't seem to be in for a 10 now, but G Smith named a LW, 9 and a GK.... plus cover elsewhere (very probably fullback cover I would imagine).. 

the scum game saw a 4-3-3  and I'd expect longstaff, stach and ampedu in there. very solid.both wingers dropping in to make a midfield 5 when we don't have the ball.  no real need for a no 10 in that system 

Yeah, can see us going 4-3-3. The front 3 will need to be damn good though if we're to score enough goals as that midfield doesn't have much of a goal threat in it.. probably Stach has the most in that 3, suppose you then have Tanaka..
