LSD Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well, it's a bit hit and miss to be honest! Some of the transfers would be questionable (from a Leeds perspective) but we'll see how you get on in the first few games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Agree Rob Bayly Disagree The rest of the transfers out! And the ones coming in. (Only because as a Leeds fan the team we have now are playing good passing football and scoring plenty.) But you seem to be doing the job with/without the players!

Watford_Rookery Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 i suppose watford are short on strikers, but i would play the annoying 60 year old man who sits in front of me at home games instead of showumni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
