Imagine some of the commute times for footballers with London Clubs?

It's about two and a half hours to Middlesbrough from the A46 in Coventry (let's say two hours 50 to be generous). To get to the Nottingham junction from the same place is just over an hour.

Fact.

You live slightly North of that junction it's equidistant to Ryton.

How the fuck can Leeds afford to be loaning out players with the state of their squad?

Might do to their bank balance having to replace attacking players every season

Middlesbrough to Nottingham is 127 miles.

Going with your backtracking and waffling about motorway junctions, slightly north? 110 miles?

In an hour?

110 miles an hour?

What you driving?

Coventry to Notts is an hour

Middlesbrough to Notts is more than double

Look at a map.

Step away from the keyboard.

I do the journey every month you bloody mentalist (well, seven miles South of Middlesbrough!), and from the A46 at Coventry to Middlesbrough is indeed two and a half hours. To get to Middlesbrough itself (as opposed to where Bernie Slavin lives!) is, what twenty minutes extra, therefore being charitable that A46 junction to Middlesbrough is two hours fifty minutes.

Try it, you loon!

Buy one and send it Northern Wisdom. Although I think he’d smoke it or eat it by the looks of things.

My wife's family are all Leeds fans, this window has been a disaster.

Lost 11 major squad players.

Finances totally scuppered by relegation loan clauses meaning they didn't make money to re invest in the squad

The 2 star players left have openly said they want out. refused to play the first games.

A 30m+ striker who couldn't score in a brothel

They are going to have to have to do a bit more than they have to paper over the cracks

Hoping tomorrow provides a breakthrough, given up on getting all three we needed. Hoping for the left centre back and quality central midfielder.

You are the one who needs to step away from the keyboard and phone Lewis O'Brien with your knowledge. . Of course he might live near Leeds?

Possibly any selling clubs want to much money. Doug is playing hardball (as he did with Sporting for Gyokeres).
Who will blink first, if any.

If we'd been told we'd spend around £20m of £30m before the window, I doubt many reasonable posters would've been too critical. MR seems confident there's funds available for more. We can't buy what isn't available, or when others can pay more. Patience and perspective.

Dunno, speak for yourself. We've got a loan with a similar skillset as a backstop. Rumours are we're working on another. O'Hare and Allen to come back. Frustrated? Maybe. F*cked off? Nah.
