30 on the US touring party, including Perri and three other keepers, eight juniors but Largie and Gelhardt not invited.

Farke is at times infuriating.
Largie deserves a chance to shine .. as he did whenever he played for Leeds and indeed Valencia.

Absolutely agree, Baz. He might be a squad player, but he adds some threat going forward. Sometimes you need a super sub.

Largie dont fit, Baz. His attitude is the problem, and that is as important to this team as ability. Players are left out for a reason. At least DJ is going, eh dude. ?

Indeed, Dune, he does.
Another stubborn Farke error freezing out players (and them then being sold ridiculously cheaply) .

This so called 'attitude' thing Davey is wayyy overplayed ..by Farkey.
A maverick player or 2 please at LUFC ...
Does the player have talent?
And
Is he performing on pitch?

Read that he's injured.. In Farke we trust. ???

This happens all the time. If a player has an attitude or fall out with the gaffer, he's off, and probably how it should be, and sometimes sold on the cheap.
We don't like to critique Wilkinson, but did exactly that with Cantona.

I love and adore Wilko, and I prioritize all his magnificent achievements in raising the Leeds United Phoenix from the Ashes.
But, man, that was his one huge kamikaze mistake, selling a maverick supreme talent in Cantona. and, worse still, selling him at the time to our closest rivals, Man U, fgs, and for a paltry £1 million, fgs.
Man U fans dined out on that for numerous years, and numerous EPL trophies, and Leeds United faltered quite a tad from champions status because of it.
Until Graham and the DOL era took over and improved matters again.

I'm still smarting over it, Baz. ?
But for the record, I'm a Largie fan and would love him to stay.

No Wober or Okafor either.

Cantona went because he was bangin Leslie Ash, allegedly, apparently, maybe..

Okafor on extended leave due to World Cup exploits. Chance for Gnonto to show if he is ever to reach his potential.

Maybe they're working on a deal for him to go back to Valencia, or somewhere else. ?

Okafor on leave due to extended WC exploits?
Cmon, 19 minutes!
Somebody will say he's been training last six weeks, God bless him.
If it wasn't for my decades of years watching Leeds United, I don't actually think I'd watch football anymore.

I believe it's actually a FIFA ruling, Corkey.
{Ed001's Note - yes 21 days, but they can choose to cut it shorter themselves.}

Lee Chapman always rubbished the suggestion that Cantona was having it off with his missus, and they're still together 30+ years later.
I always thought that MU secretly tapped him up with an offer of more money (lots more) than we could afford, but we'll probably never know, unless Sgt Wilko writes it in his memoirs.
{Ed001's Note - the thing was Cantona would become legendary for shagging everything and anything, so it is difficult to believe Chapman. On his days off at Man Utd Cantona would tour brothels etc.}

Going back to the start of the thread, it's of no surprise Valencia didn't want Ramazani, with what has been reported, his very bad attitude within the club and a complete disregard to carry out team tactics on match day.
He scored six goals and a couple of assists, which is ok but hardly outstanding. Good maverick players can get away with playing their own game, but Ramazani is no exceptional maverick.
He might get away with scoring a bunch of goals in a season, but by not playing with the team's tactics he'll probably give away more chances and goals to the opposition.
A big no for me on self before side Ramazani. He can do one.
18.) 22 Jul 2026

Yeah, yeah OP.sigh.
Put your savings on Valencia signing Ramazzani this summer. He is their super sub (he is a sub not a starter) who comes on and scores and assists.
Imagine Leeds had a multiple goalscoring and assist sub that won us games.
This alleged 'attitude' guff reports from Valencia is imo nowt more than a tactic to try to considerably lower the transfer fee.
Wait and see this Ramazzani to Valencia transfer happen towards the end of the window.

Agree, Baz. Seems like everybody in management wants to gift our players away. Farke could have taken large to USA, increased his value. But no. Let's take 4 keepers and youth that he hardly plays anyway. Bit of a boys' club going on. Need the know stuff. Baffling.

Indeed, Aus 100, spot on..

Believe what you want, but Corberan has been on Ramazani's case for most of the time when he was not injured.
From the reports I've read, there's no way Valencia will be buying Ramazani, even at a cut price.
He's another player we just can't get rid of.
No doubt he'll be loaned out to another club next season.

I don't, Corkey, but I do trust Farke, and if he says Ramazani is a bad egg, then that's what he is.
Also, Corberan's close ties with Leeds United mean I don't think he needs to make fairy tales to get a cut price on Ramazani if he did want him, which I seriously doubt.

Not impressed by your fanciful suggestion that Leeds United ownership would give Valencia a cut ✂️ price deal on Ramazzani because of 'Corberan's close ties with Leeds United'.
