I'm not too sure we signed either in Jan, could be wrong but the 2 times we signed Ferguson,One was from Newcastle which was in a pre-season and the other time we signed him was on loan under Mike walker and he didn't last until January and I'm reasonably sure Campbell came later than Jan (no transfer window at that point) he scored something like 10 in 10 to keep us up. 10 games from the end of the season wouldn't have stretched back to Jan

done some checking we signed campbell on loan in march mate then perm in the summer, Ferguson in October - was the change in the transfre laws that made me think theyd both happened in january ;p

No probs mate....from now on plz try and get your obscure EFC transfer knowledge (from well over a Decade ago) bang on.
 
How about Patrick Bamford? Not sure why Pardew never bothered with him, seeing as his other options were Dwight Gayle and Connor Wickham. I think he'd be a decent backup for Rom until the end of the season.

Scouting/academies must be the far better way of identifying players. I can see the use of stats and stuff that this FM thingy does as a way of screening out players, (minimum criteria say), but as the data is available to everyone in the world, the use of it is hardly an edge is it?

I'm sure plenty of FM scouting is very good. I just worry about what they fill in to make the algorithms produce the numbers they expect to see.

I wouldn't say crying over if we lost out, but he's a fantastic player mate. Being from Yorkshire and not at all a Leeds fan, I've got no bias in their favour whatsoever (tbh I find the situation their in to be hilarious!), but they have got some really promising prospects.

Byram is the most developed and has everything that we would look for in a full back. His defensive side isn't quite there yet but he's 22. Going forward is a different matter - he's got it all. Pace, strength and power, the ability to deliver a pin-point cross etc. Think he has the potential into developing into some player, and I think that will depend largely on where he decides to go. I can see him beings napped up by, for example, Norwich or West Brom. No disrespect to those two clubs, but it's highly likely that they'll be involved in a relegation scrap. Byram needs to be at a club that can get the best out of him, and hopefully challenge for Europe. Now that club may not be us, but the point I'm making is that I think he's ready to take the step up and be a regular member of a match-day 18 for a team like us, if not yet the first XI.

The other talent is Sam Cook. When I first saw him I thought he had a bit of the Joe Allens about him. But I've got to say, he's rapidly changed my opinion. Fantastic on the ball and never stops running. To be honest I hope he stays at Leeds, because I feel at 18 that's the best place for him now.

Last would be Mowatt. He usually plays as a No.10 for them in a similar way as to how Barkley plays for us. Think he has the ability to step up for a lower mid-table Prem side, but not sure he's quite got the potential of Cook or Byram.

Not seen much of Cook but Byram and Mowatt are definitely players I would like us to sign.

spot on really, wouldnt shock me to see him resign a new deal with a one year extension on double the money

And he would be worth it!
We should do everything we can to keep Lukaku who could turn out to be one of our most important players of the last 30 years the rate he's going.
