Leeds Rumours Mobile

See Leeds confirmed signing of Costa this evening for 16million. Sure that will surprise concern a few, no doubting the boy is supremely talented just has to work n his consistency however, premiership may actually Be more suited to him, here’s hoping.

Class He's an impact player.

Its his first year as well - it took the likes of Harrison a good year to start 'getting it' in a Bielsa team.

Costa not worth £16m - yet. But Jack Harrison (JH) wasnt worth 8m a year ago and now he's very good value on that - could be a bargain with more improvement.

If Costa applies himself like JH in terms of attitude and work rate i think he has a higher ceiling than JH and maybe that second season with Bielsa is what he needs. Or he could turn into a dud but i hope not.

Regarding the £16m i think its an instalments thing ('loan' intially) but think we probably paid first instalment a while back to stay right with FFP rules. Meslier, and JH to come in permanently next - Meslier is bags of potential and some great games (arsenal) but isn't quite finished article yet but 5M is a steal for him. 2 new cbs needed (if we can't get White back) . And a striker if we can get out of the Augustin farce. Eduoard would do very nicely.

Personally I want to see more of Gotts, Shackleton Mccalmont, and Davis. If we finish the job and go up either they stay and hopefully get a long run in cups (wishful thinking) or sort them a Ch loan. Shacks probably closest to fringes of first team so might stay.

I’d pay 16m if that penalty he just won wins this game.

Payments for players are usually amortised as opposed to paid in full.

Word over here is Leeds interested in John Stones should promotion be gained. Would be a replacement for Ben White.
Top player when fit and I'd imagine would work well playing for Bielsa.

Corky Is our interest set in stone? 😆.

06 Jul 2020 00:34:59
See we're being linked with Celtic striker Eduoard. Who thinks we're Odsonne to get him? 😂.

06 Jul 2020 09:23:07
See what you did there george 😉.

Thanks Taddy. Looks like our man is making waves in Bermuda right now.

07 Jul 2020 09:15:02
There you go again boom tish.

We already know about Bamford’s wastefulness in front of goal, but the the player i'm feeling that should be showing signs of his potential is Costa. He does exhibit some brief moments of his speed and skill but it doesn’t seem to be coming together.

As for the result I’ll take a point, it’s never a good time to be playing a team scrapping for survival and with an upturn in form. There’s going to be some surprise results for the run in, so no need to get too upset about this one.
We’re still in top spot.

OP I have Costa marked down as a rotation, sub and Cup player. Useful player to have around squad but only shows his flair in flashes. Alioski, Harrison, Pablo ahead of him. Poveda and Stevens not far behind. Can see him being sold in a couple of years.

I tip my hat to Bielsa, tactical genius, the man is a god, 14 points IF brentford win all there 7,
Think we will do a Norwich and push away, brentford to do a sheff utd with the baggies doing a leeds, hope it's not derby who make a late Surge to playoffs, since fat boy joined them there form is second to none.

We need a group rally today with a few home truths said to players after last week all done in a positive way and take a leaf out of Brentford's book. A win today and it's in our hands all we have to do is ransack teams like only we can for 8 more game. It's simple really. Keep winning and we can't be caught COME ON LEEDS let's HAVE EM

Positive way? You getting no pay, let’s see if that works.

04 Jul 2020 19:47:09
8 more games taddy, hope not or it means we are in the playoffs!

04 Jul 2020 19:49:00
Sorry Taddy just seen the date of this post, knew I should have kept out of the pub today!

26 Jun 2020 09:49:11
Orta being touted by Red Bull for their Technical Director of Football role! WOW

He said he is surprised by the interest, and so am I

He also said he does not expect to leave Leeds! Why would do that to us Orta, Why, Why?

Today’s game there’ll be no surprises in that we’ll have about 65/ 70% possession and Cardiff even playing at home will defend, close us down as much as possible and try to catch us out on a rare counterattack. If we score in the 1st half, the game is ours, if not this could be a draw or worse. Cardiff is not a good hunting ground for us but I’m putting my money on Bamford on scoring the only goal today.
