Just spend the next 5-7 windows adding to the squad gradually then hitting the button to smash 2 or 3 out of the way. I'm a patient man, I'll wait. As a fan that’s fair, but do you reckon the likes of Bruno and whatever signings we make this summer are thinking 3-4 years down the line like we are?

I do tbh. If they've got anything about them then they'll know it's not going to be quick or easy to break that top 6 cartel. It will take time and sustained investment to do it and I absolutely believe it'll happen and I think they think the same. We just need to go big and strong when we're ready to do so, going too big and too strong when we're just a shell risks everything.

Nine Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 3 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: Leeds didn’t spend last summer to kick on though. It’s pretty clear from being linked with Ekitike, Botman & Diaby for about £130m combined that we’re looking big. Top 6 is a tough ask (though I personally think Arsenal are there for the taking next season), but pushing West Ham, Leicester & probably Villa for 7th spot should be the target. They did spend £50m (£100m the summer before that) but most importantly they didnt sell their key players either, if you'd have told a Leeds fan last summer that they would sack Bielsa and be the skin of their teeth away from being relegated they would have laughed at you. All im saying is its never that easy, a club trying to crack top 6 can chuck money at it coming off a good season all they like but alot more has to go right before they make it (Everton). It will be a gradual evolution of not just our squad but our entire club over the next 5 years before we really are talking imo, lets not forget only 6 months ago we still had Ashley and Bruce in charge. We could obviously get lucky and hit the ground running to break top 6 before that but staying there consistently is another thing entirely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might mean ‘a medical’s booked in’ i.e A (one) medical is booked, Or that a number of medicals are booked in. Not doubting Ando might know something but nowhere has it said two medicals are booked in. I want to get excited but I won’t until Caulkin or the like reports it or I see a signing wearing a Newcastle top on the club website. There are so many fake itk accounts out there it’s (literally) untrue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 It’s so easy to see how things start to get reported as fact from nothing. I’m not even sure I believe the Ekitike stuff quite yet. Nowhere reliable has reported it have they? Unless I’ve missed something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Asslani fits the profile of player we’re going for. Young, potential to get much better while also still being good enough for the here and now. Not the tallest, only 5’10. But that shouldn’t matter if he’s good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
