Wouldn't be excited by Abraham at all, his goals per minute ratio last season was pretty much the same as Joselu. The rest of their stats are also very similar (assists, pass completion ect), except headers won where Joselu was actually considerably better.. I mean fair enough potential, but right now nothing I can see suggests he'd have much impact if any compared to what we have.

Don't Sky and BT still have the same number of games live as last time?

Aye, it’s probably going to be £99 a year minimum now. Well its gone up in the U.S from £74 to £88 so I'd be amazed if it stayed £79 here regardless of Premier League games.

Depends if're happy to lose out on several million pounds (obviously we won't be). I'd be surprised if anyone outside the Premier League offered much over £10m for him. But due to Premier League cash and the fact that he's become an instant hero at Fulham I could see them being willing to pay £20m+.

I think it really depends what Fulham offer, if they're offering under £20m then maybe wait. But if they offer £20m+ I think we should just get on with it. I think so yeah, but they weren't offering near the £15m we wanted.

We apparently were trying to sell him for £15m at the time he went on loan I think, so could have done that kind if option. But hopefully not because I do think we'll get £20m+ now.

Aye probably £30m at most is more likely (looks like there might be about £30m coming in per season but obviously some going out). I suppose getting those four off the wage bill and securing future cash would be more important in bringing players in than the instant cash injection. Though Ashley will probably just flip a coin to decide the transfer budget regardless "heads I win tails you lose Rafa"

With our generous credit terms when we sell players Rafa would be lucky to get £8million of that. Might as well keep Joselu! it's starting to kill me this installments thing, and i've been guilty of it as well, but f*** me yeah let's sell £40m worth of players from an already s****, small squad then give rafa 25% of that to spend on replacing them (if he's f***ing lucky) we're such a shithouse club man Considering how we sell in installments and buy outright and have been doing it for many years now we should have a constant stream of transfer cash every year. Because we've built up a load of installments getting paid to use every year and have no installments going out. So at this point "we can't spend X from the sale of a player because of installments" is just another shite excuse. i'd be amazed if it amounted to say £40m or whatever people think we're gonna bring in from sales personally You mean if the installments we receive every season amounted to £40m?, probably not. We could probably work out roughly what we get each year I suppose. These kind of deals are usually paid in equal payments over the course of a players contract length.

How could anyone be angry given this lot are now in the position they wished on us, its fucking delicious to be honest, I can almost taste their tears.

If we weren't run like a corner shop the club could attract bigger sponsorship. We've got the manager, fans, football mad city, problem is the owner drags it all down into the mud. We could sell advertising space, rather that paste sportsdirect on everything for free. A club that is in the premier league most seasons having lower commercial revenue than a club that has been in the lower leagues since 2004 is spectacularly bad, there must be zero effort being put in. We'd obviously done a deal with the shirt sponsor where we agreed to a huge drop in payments if we went down. Given that the year before commercial income was £28m (twice what it was in the Championship season). As I said though its not exactly apples to apples comparison here considering we're outsourcing a lot, half of Leeds commercial revenue comes from things that we outsource. We can only guess if that hurts us financially (it depends what the costs of those operations would be vs the potential extra revenue). But given its Ashley I suppose its reasonable to think it probably does hurt us. Or at the very least its a way to get the same money in but make it look like we aren't making as much (revenue is lower but profit the same).

It would be very easy to increase commercial revenue above those three clubs even without spending time on commercial deals, just by doing our own catering. For instance in Leeds case £4m of the total £16m commercial revenue came from catering. But we outsource instead, so we see the overall revenue that comes from food and drink sales but of course incur none of the costs either (I assume we just get a relatively small fee from the catering company). As usual Ashley looking at keeping costs down first and foremost.

Its amazing we even have a commercial income at all with such a disgusting cunt at the top of the club.

Joselu, one of the worst players to pull on our shirt? Sorry but thats just grade A horseshit. He's a shit goal scorer, but his link up and general play is decent overall. He's nowhere near what we want, but not even close to our worst Footballers.

He made it himself so I'm not going to be too harsh on him for missing the chance. Great play by Lejeune in the build up as well BTW.

He didn't even react after either, just a casual pass to the keeper then walks away as if nowts happened. Where's the desire to score?

Dive for the freekick, then they take it 6 yards away from where it was given, mint refereeing.

Nailed on to have a blinder! You mean play as if he's blind?

We've clearly lacked motivation in the last three games since we made ourselfs safe. Hopefully playing against a good side will help motivate us and we'll see a good match at least. Fuck it I'm going for a win.

Leicester fans on FoxesTalk have been saying he’s thick as fuck, I can see that now. Aye, we had 8 shots, 4 of those on target while Leicester had only 1 shot on target, the lads brain dead.

Joselu is injured apparently.

Assistant is looking right at it, nothing between him and the incident 15 yards away from him and he doesn't see it..

What the fuck is going on with that introduction??

Both been better or similar to us under Ashley. Incredibly West Brom's average points per season since Ashley arrived is even worse than ours, Stoke slightly better though.

At this current moment under Ashley yes we are, do you disagree? On the positive side if Ashley fucks off we can easily be something much more than that again, Stoke and West Brom on the other hand..
