Great News!
We will NOT be signing Ryan Kent in this window!

Brightwhite

1.) 01 Feb 2024 17:14:36
Or David Bentley ?.


2.) 01 Feb 2024 20:28:20
But Bentley had a superb reverse cross potential!

Mateusz Musialowski possibly incoming this week? Another winger? Surely not. Tho if he's owt like our last Mateusz, I would be happy!

Brightwhite

1.) 27 Jan 2024 13:52:50
Bright Why would you be happy comparing him to Bogusz? Before you get over ?, realize Klich left Leeds almost exactly a year ago to join DC United whereas Bogusz, who played for Leeds, didn't depart until end of March last year making him the "last Mateusz". Otherwise excellent.


2.) 27 Jan 2024 14:06:15
Lol George! I hadn’t realised that! Touché!


3.) 27 Jan 2024 18:14:39
Bright Reportedly the player's agent attended game today.


4.) 27 Jan 2024 18:58:02
Interesting, to say the least.


5.) 27 Jan 2024 19:47:27
That as a loan or buy?


6.) 27 Jan 2024 21:08:44
?? Loan but apparently his contract ends in the summer so there might be an opportunity for something more.

Heard that Gnonto has a new contract offer on the table.

Brightwhite

1.) 22 Jan 2024 17:01:18
Well, it’s now on SlySpurts, so maybe not just a rumour!


2.) 22 Jan 2024 17:08:42
Bright Isn't this a precursor to his inevitable departure? Club must suspect he's off.


3.) 22 Jan 2024 18:20:32
' club suspect he is off' Georgey ? Suspect?

Willy is under contract for a further 3.5 years. so isn't going anywhere without a transfer agreement by LUFC of (£25 million plus? )


4.) 22 Jan 2024 19:19:18
There is talk that he will be allowed to leave on loan, after signing the new contract. From our POV, that puts him in the shop window in the PL, and if we don’t get there, helps ramp his price up. It’s a win for all concerned.


5.) 22 Jan 2024 20:45:23
Sounds good if that's the case, Bright.


6.) 22 Jan 2024 21:22:25
Hopefully if he allowed on loan as a result the new contract has a significant release clause included.

Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu at centre-back for Leeds:

Mins Played: 1,170
Matches: 13
Games Won: 12
Goals Conceded: 3
Goals Conceded From Open Play: 0
Clean Sheets: 10

Ampadu and Rodon have now played 19.5 hours of football at CB without conceding a single goal from open play.

Brightwhite

1.) 19 Mar 2024 08:42:36
As useful as he can be in mid. With gray Gruev and kamara, Amps is rooted there now.


2.) 19 Mar 2024 12:56:13
Great stats them Brighty thanks for sharing them mate. I am loving this Leeds team mate and I hope and pray we don’t make the same mistake as we did with Ben White, Rodon gets Leeds and the fans, he’s got to stay and Ampadu, well what can I say, an absolute star ? and what a bargain eh, we could have 3 of him for what we paid for that melt BA! Immense both of them and great post Brighty ??.


3.) 19 Mar 2024 14:13:17
Always thought of Amps as more of a ball playing CB anyway. Saw him play some great games there for Spezia last season. It's just his innate versatility which has allowed him to play well in DM too. I prefer him at CB as he get more time on the ball for his vertical passing.


4.) 19 Mar 2024 15:53:56
I think ampadu is a defensive mid and I think he was bought as such. He has played in that position for Wales recently.
It just happened struijk has been out so long and we have just clicked that he is just fallen into cb.
By how he spoke at the start of the season he sees himself in midfield. I don't know if he will be happy in the long run at cb. But we know more and better defenders are needed if we go up.
By the way I just read an article on amps on the BBC site about how he will be the youngest Wales player to reach 50 caps in the Finland game. All the Wales players and staff agree he will be their next captain.


5.) 19 Mar 2024 16:49:23
Has played more games at CB throughout his career Ben mate. Playing there now for us, played there for Sheff United, played there for Spezia and the minimal games he got at Leipzig were all at CB.

Last season he played there all season for Spezia and was their best defensive player (more noticeably after Kiwior left) . He's versatile and gets deployed at DM as he's more than capable, but I really think his best position is as a ball playing CB. He breaks the line easily, reads the game well and can play vertical passes to his hearts content, while under little pressure. He's definitely press resistant enough for DM, but just means he's a little more rushed picking a pass out. Seems to find better ones more consistently from CB.


6.) 19 Mar 2024 19:32:48
I'm just going on what the man said dill. From what he said when he arrived he preferred dm and was enjoying getting to play there.
Thing is if we get into the prem we might find amps is not physical enough for a regular cb. Ben White got found out at arsenal got bullied at cb.
I do prefer amps in midfield as he can always drop and cover cb and i like his drive in midfield.

In the Championship in 2024, Gio has created the most chances in open play (26) , made the most successful take-ons (42) , won the most duels (118) , played the most through balls (13) and won the most fouls (33) of any player.
Don't like that phrase "won fouls": he has been fouled more than any other player!

Brightwhite

1.) 18 Mar 2024 20:19:38
Let's hope he recovers from surgery in time for good Friday!


2.) 18 Mar 2024 20:22:02
Love the positivity and knowledge in your posts! Reading them make me nod in agreement and make grumblerly apporval noises. long may this continue.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 21:23:46
I no we paid a good price for gio but he is turning into a hell of a player.
If we did not have him we would have scored a lot less goals.
And his enthusiasm and exuberance in the team must be infectious.
I read he is going to have a hernia sorted in the international break. Hope it goes well as we will need him for those last games.


4.) 18 Mar 2024 22:13:34
Didn't Struijk also get a hernia and we are still awaiting his return? What is it with all the hernias?


5.) 18 Mar 2024 22:55:12
Given our medics records Gio Rutter will be out for minimum 4 weeks possibly 6 even possibly rest of season

At least we have a CAM to replace him. oh wait.


6.) 19 Mar 2024 01:44:15
So then you are saying he's another girlish .


7.) 19 Mar 2024 02:44:59
We got Piroe baz.


8.) 19 Mar 2024 06:28:19
Brightwhite thanks for the info on that mate. ?.


9.) 19 Mar 2024 06:42:30
I believe Pasc’s was a little more complicated, with an accompanying abductor tear. Don’t know enough about Gio’s, but know there is a large scale of hernia variations and severity. Hopefully his is a very minor, keyhole solution!


10.) 19 Mar 2024 08:44:27
Apparently Rutter’s hernia problem is not complicated and only requires minor surgery. There is a good chance even he’ll be available for the Watford game.
He’s been playing with this hernia strain for the last three weeks and it has affected his full fitness.

I believe they penciled in the international break as a opportunity to have this minor surgery so that we don’t lose him for too many games.
I imagine the Hull game will be more realistic for his return.


11.) 19 Mar 2024 09:39:54
Gio has also lost possession 894 times this season with 62% in his own half.
Gio has scored six goals.
Maybe stats are misleading?


12.) 19 Mar 2024 12:07:45
Fair point Corky. As always, any stat can be flipped on its head, to tell the opposite tale, or an entirely different story. Depends on the story you want to tell.


13.) 19 Mar 2024 12:56:37
Exactly Bright.
The point I’m trying to make is if Gio keeps playing the way he is and losing the ball in midfield we will be in right strife against better opponents in the top flight, obviously if n when we get there.
He can be a joy to watch but so so frustrating at times. Maybe the manager tells him to play as he likes as most Championship teams will not punish you?
And he really needs to work on his shooting!


14.) 19 Mar 2024 12:58:52
Worth considering Cork, however, I would defer to the outcomes derided from the stats.

As a perceived positive you could argue successful take ons made, do not always result in a chance made or goal scored.

But having the best assist record in the league has led to goals points, losing possession 62% of the time in our own half not great but we know (certainly) since the start of the year, we have not conceded from open play.

But as Brighty says statistics can be read very differently but I believe on goals created alone by Gio his own relevantly low goals count and loss of possession in our half are traits I’m happy to continue with to season end.


15.) 19 Mar 2024 13:15:20
Agree 100 class.
We all got jobs. But bottom line is what we paid for.
Is it a bad thing Dj, gnonto, Jimmy etc etc haven’t saved a penalty this year? Or should they not had to.
All good being a team game right. But attacking player don’t generally save goals and defenders don’t generally score goals.
Cork. Sorry mate. U r wrong.
I’d rather Gio deliver in attacking half than defensive.


16.) 19 Mar 2024 14:18:55
Have never been in doubt of Georgi's talents. Defended him until blue in the face on twitter last season saying he never got enough game time or opportunity to show us what he can actually do. I said he was our most dynamic player and got laughed at by some idiots who don't know ball. Glad he's proved the naysayers wrong and happy I was vindicated.

All it took was a good manager and a run of games for him to showcase his talents. Cracking young player, who's only going to get better.


17.) 19 Mar 2024 16:05:31
Corks he's still young and yes he tries too much and probably holds on to the ball to long but he'll learn.
With his shooting I think he need to stop trying to kick the leather off the ball every time he shoots but again he'll calm. It is his first season playing this many first team games and his first over here.
I think if he gets a run in the prem he will find the defending different not as physical and desperate to win the ball.


18.) 19 Mar 2024 16:10:07
I rely on what I see on the pitch, stats are misleading whether they are good or bad.
It’s a fair point about losing the ball too often, but we are in the Championship and not the Premiership, I think that’s the way Farke and his coaching staff want him to play in this league, it’s possibly slightly more forgiving which makes him more effective as his assists account proves. and also the havoc he can create in our opponents half.

In the Premiership I’m sure his role maybe less flamboyant and more controlled as to not lose possession a bit like Grealish with Pep.
What you see of Rutter is not the finished product, with maturity he will be more controlled and I’m certain his goal tally will rise with that.


19.) 19 Mar 2024 17:15:18
That’s a good point too OP. How many times do we watch a match, then see some stats about something particular, and think “eh? What game was that? Wasn’t what I watched! ”.


20.) 19 Mar 2024 19:57:18
Yes bright good point.
The thing to remember as well with gio when he loses the ball he chases to win it back.
He is not a player that loses it and throws his hands up.
He always does his defensive duties.


21.) 20 Mar 2024 07:19:24
I think the Gio we see next season, will have matured a little, strengthened a lot, and will be a force to be reckoned with in the PL, should we get there.

Did I read that Leicester are under investigation and any punishment will be give next season, why, NF have just been docked 4 points and if true they should be docked this season.


2.) 18 Mar 2024 18:25:01
Present him with the trophy ? Bright.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 18:59:15
The captain of the national side won for the 3rd year running, with Ilia a very commendable second, interestingly for the second year running! Still great recognition for the lad on the back of a Fantastic season to date. First prize next year hopefully!


4.) 18 Mar 2024 19:00:25
Whitey, I think they have to be in the PL for them to punish them, so that one will be waiting for Foxes if they get promoted! Nice!


5.) 18 Mar 2024 19:06:43
Just 6 points Neverton


Noe Florost just 4 points. all seems uber lenient.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 20:03:20
Lenient is not the word.
It’s not a punishment, four points is easily retrievable, it’s sending the wrong message to the potential offenders of FFP. It’s probably worth breaking the rules if you only receive a four point deduction.
A waste of time.


7.) 18 Mar 2024 20:21:16
White, forest are deducted points this season for breaking the rules in last seasons accounts.
Leicester may break the rules this season so will be punished next season.


8.) 18 Mar 2024 20:41:45
Totally agree OP 4 points of 6 points penalty is no deterrent

And what is this about possibly having any appeal decision made 5 days after end of season .


9.) 19 Mar 2024 06:47:25
Canada. The PL can’t punish Leicester unless they are in their league.


10.) 19 Mar 2024 09:58:47
Neither can EFL, just as Vile!


11.) 19 Mar 2024 11:25:06

18 Mar 2024 07:32:29
Maybe Marcelo was 100% correct to continue pursuing DJ in the way he did after all!? He certainly saw something! And massive credit goes to Farke for developing him, and his self belief, as the player himself admits. I now believe he can take him further in the PL too.

Brightwhite

1.) 18 Mar 2024 07:43:11
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that DJ’s form has taken an upturn on the arrival of Herr Farke.
Let’s hope he can now translate this great form into the Premiership, should we go up.


2.) 18 Mar 2024 08:48:54
Big improvement in Dj and Gio.
Can he weave his magic wand on Bambi and piroe next. Ta.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 10:24:30
More like there was always a good player there who needed to be given a long run of games in his natural position right wing ( not CF)

With currently 12 goals, DJ has surpassed even my pre season prediction of him scoring 10 goals.


4.) 18 Mar 2024 11:09:16
He played quite a lot on his right wing position for us but was rarely effective same at Man Utd and on loan at Fulham.
No doubt in my mind that Farke and his coaching staff have ironed out in inefficiencies and now he can assist and score goals.
There’s not much to divide between Gnonto and James, both scoring goals. I feel Willy deserves his place after James had a little dip in form a little while back so doesn’t merit to be dropped.
It’s a pity we can’t start with both of them.
Makes great competition for places when you have both players like this on fire vying for a start.


5.) 18 Mar 2024 11:37:46
DJ never given a run of games on RW previously and often on bench though OP

And what's with the " dip in form" nonsense ?

Facts are in January 2024 immediately before his injury at Norwich . DJ scored in the 3 previous EPL wins against Birmingam, Preston and Cardiff

DJ was in great form.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 12:16:26
Just my assumption, maybe from that mid December period? More likely though I believe it’s probably about DJ’s devastating pace coming on later in the game causes so many problems for the tiring opposition?, but I’m sure you know more than Farke for the reasons why he should start with James over Gnonto.


7.) 18 Mar 2024 12:35:27
Yes OP your assumption was wholly erroneous. DJ a man in form

And defenders tired or not is a moot point . as DJ devastating pace is too much for them even start of matches

FACTS are when DJ starts matches he is often the " GO TO MAIN MAN ' to get that crucial first goal early in first half.


8.) 18 Mar 2024 13:23:27
I really don’t know if you are being lighthearted and having a bit of fun, or being fiercely serious Baz, whichever, it’s fine by me, I won’t be losing any sleep over it.


9.) 18 Mar 2024 15:00:00
I am being factual OP . that peeves you a lot. but it is what it is.


10.) 18 Mar 2024 15:40:23
Facts and stats don’t win titles, being smart and outwitting your opponents does.
Think I trust in Farkes choice of match day team sheets than yours Baz, with all due respect.


11.) 18 Mar 2024 17:18:03
Gnonto is also “a man on form”. DJ is not displacing him, as he doesn’t deserve to be dropped. The point about DJ and tired legs, is also most certainly not moot.

He’s done a good job, yeah. Good for him.
Don’t get this outpouring of praise for him tho, as personally, I don’t give a cack about him or his team unless they are losing. Farke has tactically outmanoeuvred him twice, and he looked bemused and clueless both times, which was hilarious.
I’ve said it before, if they don’t go up, they will fall apart next season, and I still won’t give a cack about him, or them.

2-1 Leeds. Our Welsh contingent will be fine, but I do hope that DJ’s thriving confidence hasn’t taken a hit? Duff move by Page to restrict his impact after CR got a knock. Dan could’ve taken that game for them. Anyone got news on CR’s injury?
