Leeds Transfer Rumours

09 Oct 2019 13:31:38
Phil Hay has said that Bielsa is not sure about Nketia and that Bamford's recent form has increased his grip on the starting place. Christ.

09 Oct 2019 18:56:08
Another 6 games without a goal should see Bamford secure his place for the rest of the season then. Can just see Eddie being recalled by Arsenal in January and loaned out to a team that can use him.

09 Oct 2019 20:42:50
Him and Clarke, then watch them rip the league up.

10 Oct 2019 15:02:39
Is Bamford auditioning for the Mick Jones role then bring on Eddie for the Alan Clarke role.
Just a thought, if Bamford is doing so well holding the ball and bringing others into play how we are still not scoring goals? From anyone.

10 Oct 2019 18:18:29
Bambam is auditioning for the role of Donkey in Shrek.

11 Oct 2019 16:16:34
Bamford has played really well in all other areas, it's just not happening in front of goal, I do think if we put him with Eddie it could provide goals .
Not convinced about Costa and if the price tag is anything like I have seen quoted then I'm afraid we are overpaying .

08 Oct 2019 22:52:05
Bermo did you ever predict Calzaghe would get beat? Just interested as I follow a bit of boxing myself and think he was the best British boxer we have ever had. Mate of mine thought Froch would have done him. I don't think he would have got close.

Josh Warrington! Now that lad is going to take some beating.

09 Oct 2019 12:08:47
Don’t jinx Josh please Malta. Can’t wait til Saturday night! Pablo on the ring walk too!

09 Oct 2019 20:37:01
Josh is one of my best friends son.

10 Oct 2019 11:52:10
My mate is one of his main sponsors. Ringside every fight. Josh is a good un.

11 Oct 2019 16:11:44
jealous!

05 Oct 2019 22:50:45
What is Bielsa talking about when he mentions the 3 big parts of the game? Something about Harrison.

{Ed033's Note - Meat and potatoes?

06 Oct 2019 10:53:55
Canada Venture it's possession, creating chances and sticking them away. Personally, I think he's lost the plot, anxiety has crept in and he's a ripe candidate to enter Martyn's Bexley wing once the Big Fella returns from Lanzagrotty with new Spanish girlfriend in tow.

06 Oct 2019 11:50:35
Doesn't seem to fit with him talking about red card and penalty. I was assuming it was some refereeing error or something controversial.
I think he's been a breath of fresh air to Leeds but my lord he can't seem to see the wood for the trees can he!
For such a studier of the game I'm shocked he can't understand our repeated failures. Maybe he should watch all of our games from last year again and then it may sink in.

06 Oct 2019 16:04:51
He turned down a blatant penalty when Harrison had his ankles swept away for him, and waved it away. Just another shocking decision.
So, the 3 big parts were their penalty, Berra’s Red, and the refusal to award our penalty. That’s my take on it anyway.

06 Oct 2019 17:19:53
Sounds about right.
Really sick of being screwed by refs.
We are more than capable of messing it up on our own!

07 Oct 2019 06:25:16
No one wants us out of this league we generate too much revenue for the greedy corrupt fatherless children.

07 Oct 2019 17:09:19
I don't think Bielsa has lost the plot at all. He is a genius and getting 50% more out of the current squad than any other manager would be able to. Problem is most of our players are not up to it.

09 Oct 2019 16:01:14
You legend alftupper! Post of the month!

02 Oct 2019 00:06:55
Epic performance that was!
Bamford and Dallas totally exceptional. Bamford said he loved that in interview afterwards. 👍👍
Klich and Harrison go missing for me at times tho.
Big worry about Coops and Shacks but we will see how good this squad soon.
Great feeling to hold on to a lead at last, but credit Johnstone in the brom goal for some first class saves.
Top of the tree again. Well done to all
MOT.

02 Oct 2019 20:43:07
Losing Coops and Shack for 4-6 weeks is a blow, for sure. Berra to start at the back, and Tyler to take over from Shack, with the option of moving Dallas in his place, with Luke coming on back right.

01 Oct 2019 21:49:44
20 points from 10 games. I stated at start of season and after 5 games if we average 10 points every 5 games we will go up. Or 2 points a game. I know you can't get 2 points in a match. But you get what I mean. 4 points or better 2 games. 10 points better 5 games and so on. So we are on course even though wev have definitely dropped points
Onwards and upwards.
I didn't fancy us to win tonight so to say I'm over joyed and elated is an understatement.
We battled to the end. And bam
Bam was brilliant. Worked his socks off, brilliant paddy. 👍👍⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️.

03 Oct 2019 14:21:31
Batty Hope for Paddy's sake in light of your concluding sentence that alopecia does not set in for him.

01 Oct 2019 21:47:01
Can't defend. White not even the shadow of Pontus. Sarcasm put to bed now.
That's the performance of a promotion team. Graft, and guts when needed, when the back is against the wall, and creativity too. How we didn't put that to bed, I don't know. Plus a gaffer making difficult tactical decisions to help retain the score line.
Thought Bam was superb tonight. ALAW!

30 Sep 2019 23:07:00
Luke Ayling has apparently signed a new 4 year deal with LUFC.

01 Oct 2019 06:25:00
Should get about 12 months out of him then.

01 Oct 2019 08:25:00
Good player on his day, needs to stay injury free. Glad he has signed up again.

01 Oct 2019 10:17:07
Agreed Mezzer only problem is most of his days are on the physio, s table.

01 Oct 2019 13:30:58
Good player at this level but it was a no brainer really. Would only go to another championship club if he did not sign and he is settled here with his family, guess Barnsley did not appeal to him lol.

24 Sep 2019 00:50:58
Bub has said no need to change players or system because it was the best 60 min of his tenure and they were lucky to get a goal.
So he doesn't seem likely to change forwards or system.
Which really means he does not see our conversion rate as a problem or the fact that most of goals are conceded at the end when players tire.

24 Sep 2019 11:03:26
The opening 60 WAS the best of his tenure. Unbelievable. But my head has been turned, and we need a change somewhere, in some way, to fix the conversion rate issue, I agree. No point being so dominant, and just drawing. I love the guy, love his tactics, his philosophy, his passion and energy, and morals. However, a change of some sort is needed.

24 Sep 2019 11:23:29
Stubborn?

24 Sep 2019 13:25:31
Agree.
He goes on to say that Bamford and Eddie can’t play together because Bamford needs midfield support not a fellow striker.
I like the idea of Roberts Eddie up front tbh.

24 Sep 2019 14:35:12
Leodis when you’ve done his job to his standard then call him stubborn? I doubt in either yours and my lifetime we will ever know as much as him about football. You may have done well on fifa manager on Xbox but back in the real world he’s the one earning mega money and there’s prob a reason why your not ( well you maybe but it’s not as a championship manager)

24 Sep 2019 15:25:11
Sorry Martyn, I take your point and worship the man for everything he has done for Leeds United. I (and many others) cannot help feeling that he does have a flaw in him (dont we all) that is his strong reluctance to change, or even to try a change. His perseverance with players who for whatever reason are not performing. By the way, never played FIFA so have no claims in that realm either. I fully accept the he is the manager, getting the big bucks and if his "intransigence" keeps us at number one then long may he reign. It will not stop me pointing out differences of opinion however. No doubt you will do the very same as and when the occasion arises.

24 Sep 2019 17:35:10
Maybe the difference is faith.

24 Sep 2019 18:53:02
As a Leeds supporter that was sometimes all we had.

24 Sep 2019 19:59:50
He obviously has faith in his players to do what he asks of them as I don’t think he suffers fools.

24 Sep 2019 22:09:37
I’m amazed some call him stubborn having never met the man. Is it loyalty to certain players, I don’t believe so. The team is set up to dominate and win games and more often than not that’s exactly what we do. Bielsa can’t legislate for missed chances.

25 Sep 2019 14:08:14
Cork surely Bielsa can legislate for missed chances by playing players who will score them?

25 Sep 2019 14:18:18
anyway that would seem to be the end for the argument for 442. What are you going to post about now George?

25 Sep 2019 16:50:16
Alf Nothing springs to mind.

26 Sep 2019 10:48:15
cork, people are saying he's stubnorn not on a personal level, but on a work level . Cork there should be no more argument about the merits of what's happening again at leeds this season . We have already left 7 points behind us now and we are in September .

Cork the stubbornness fans speak of is his unwillingness to TRY something different, not his personality

His tactics came a cropper last season and fans are fearful that same will happen again

Fans who pay his wages by the way so they are entitled to their opinion same as you or i are also entitled to ours .
Anyways heres hoping for a few victories now to clock up a few more on the board.

29 Sep 2019 12:55:47
Good shout chris chris.

20 Sep 2019 09:49:25
Was reading that Adidas was preparing a bid to become our next kit manufacturer, shows what happens when your doing well seems everyone wants to be associated with you.

20 Sep 2019 12:41:40
love adidas I hope that is true.

20 Sep 2019 13:22:39
mappa best ever leeds kits,

20 Sep 2019 19:55:27
Mappa? Is that a new make Chris.

21 Sep 2019 17:30:06
Admiral.

22 Sep 2019 19:01:54
mappa , what a nugget.

{Ed047's Note - has spell checker done you again?

24 Sep 2019 11:06:34
Gotta say, there’s not a single kit that I haven’t loved, maybe with the exception of the Vicar’s collar one that Carlton Palmer adorned. Would love Adidas tho, as long as it had blue, white then yellow 3 stripe trim all down the arms. That would be mint!

24 Sep 2019 20:01:10
Yea man and it would advertise Leeds pride who I support.

25 Sep 2019 14:09:05
who's Leeds pride Martyn?

18 Sep 2019 08:11:02
Reading what Carlos Corberan had to say about Luke Aylings influence on the younger players made me realise how lucky we are to have a core of seasoned professionals at Leeds! I think Coops, Pablo, Dallas and Luke are the glue holding the loanies and younger players together! Also I think they are probably good men as well with good moral backgrounds! We are very lucky! MOT.

18 Sep 2019 11:16:15
Think Bubs instills a strict moral code throughout the club, maybe that's why PJ had to go. Players involved a lot in community projects and visits to kiddies in hospital to ground them. Having players like Luke, KP, and Coops around helps with young ones development both on and off the pitch.

18 Sep 2019 12:40:07
Agree DSW. Watching the U23’s the other night, the way the senior players gave their all like it was a league match, and celebrated passionately with them was just class. I think the whole “team” ethic is now running thro the whole of the club.

19 Sep 2019 09:41:08
Put on that shirt
Nothing else is acceptable.
