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.

Yes totally agree mate. It's like Anton Stach that the club told the YEP they really like, why is it not done yet, fee is for him is meant to be around £17m ish... he's clearly very good and would be a big upgrade on Gruev, he'd also give Ampadu serious competition.. just get it done at that price... reports are saying from Sky Germany the deal can be done but Leeds have only enquired, not even bid yet... crackers... can understand the growing fan frustration at the moment.. 

in this case yes, just pay the £17m.
but it's like the fee being £17m and we offer £23m.
just doesn't make sense

I think Tad if the fee is 17m and we offer 23m then yes it does seem bad business.
But if the fee is 17m and we offer 12 and it`s turned down.
Go back and more or less pay the asking price if the club think he will make a difference.
Seems Sunderland are waiting to see who we fancy and then outbid us.

All gone quiet on the transfer front... thought they'd have brought in one or two more by now. They certainly need to get a move one, pre season fixtures are fast approaching, need to get them bedded in early. 

49rs do things quietly though. not really much happening anywhere really
