You are clutching at straws trying to provide possibilities that have no factual element beyond your imagination.
Indisputable facts

If he was a long term target, as you suggest, then the facts would suggest we didn't move quickly to sign him. As such a reasonable assumption would be that we either couldn't afford him, his club refused to sell him, or we weren't quite sure.

Factually Rothwell was signed first.

Tanaka was a third choice behind Gustavo Hamer and Dejan Ljubicic IIRC, we moved after the other two didn't pan out. Hence his later arrival

Whether he was First, Second, Third or One Hundredth choice, he has turned out to have been a good choice.
Lets hope we can keep finding cheap players like him with the quality he has, great business.

Interesting!

I prefer Tanaka to Hamer (who has a face you'd want to smack).

Watford season-ticket holder for 10 years

Leeds are the best team I've seen, better than Man City in the Carabao Cup. :-D

All opposition fans raving about us......Love it. :love:

Watford fan

Leeds are different class & they are just outplaying us.

It's mental to think Watford & Leeds are in the same league, they are just phenomenal.

Leeds fans are having a party.

Massive respect to their fan base, 2000 sell-out on a Tuesday night.

Spurs fan opinion on Leeds at Watford. Great footage of the Leeds end

Leeds were just too good, could have scored more. Leeds deserves to be in the Premier League next season.

As a neutral fan the best entertaining match Ive seen this season.

A pleasure watching Leeds play tonight

So, Watford, Cardiff, Coventry & Spurs fans all saying Leeds are going up after watching us.

Coventry fan, Matt SB has said all season, Leeds will be champions.

Sunderland fans confident Leeds are going up.
