August Update
August Preview
We were handed a tough start to Premier League life and in August we played both Man City and Liverpool. We also had Fulham away and as of yet the board was still in the process of a takeover.

Match Rating: 8/10

Signings Review: Some great signings there. I am very pleased to have both Adel and Rhys on loan for us as well as Dominic Adiyah from AC Milan. He was a super sub for me there and he will be a first team regular at Leeds. My favourite transfer was Bamba who is a brilliant DM or DC. He will be key to our success this season. Hooper is one of the best poachers around and I'm delighted to only be paying £2M. De Laet was also a bargain. He is a great back up as he plays anywhere in a back four.
