Dortmund literally signed Italian and Columbian international strikers who were at the world cup this Summer for less than Fulham paid for Ross McCormack. Just checked and the 19yo "next Aguero" Angel Correa went to Spanish champions and Champions League runner-ups Atletico Madrid for £5.5m about a month ago. Fulham just spent £11m on a guy who's managed two goals at international level against Australia and Iceland. He may be proven at Championship level but loving hell.

To any other club an £11 million cash injection would be a lot but surely its a drop in the ocean of the financial resources available to Leeds's billionaire owner.

He scored more league goals than anyone else last season, for a team that were awful for most of it. Fulham want instant promotion, so spent a lot of money on a player who's been consistent in the championship. It's obviously more than they'd pay for a foreigner, but if they get promotion they won't care.

Would rather have Lewis Grabban for £3m tbh. You could probably get Troy Deeney for about the same cost too.

"Realistically, at this moment in time it would be a big ask for us to get automatic promotion. Let's not shy away from it, it would be a big challenge. We are trying to build for the future." - Adkins Anyone else had a prediction from their manager yet? Our squad's average age is 22 so I think top half the table will be decent for us this year, play-offs would be fantastic.

I have no idea what to expect from Boro this year. Probably the same as every other year. Not in danger of relegation, not in danger of promotion.

Boro have bought a lad called Kike. And if having an hilariously named striker wasn't enough, it has resulted in the pinnacle of sport journalism in the Teesside area. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/boro-signing-kike-football-manager-7409826 quote:Kike: How does Boro's new €3.5m striker rate on Football Manager and Fifa?

You may say "lol leeds", but they at least have been able to go on a pre-season training camp, unlike Blackpool who had to cancel theirs due to only having 8 first team players. the season starts in 3 weeks and they can't even field 11 players

Let me tell you my body is ready for some loving sick Leeds action. Packed lunches for everyone, pile on the special Leeds bus to a game where the other team didnt show up, with a manager who nobody knows. 2014-15 is shaping up to be an absolute cracker
