Owen Wijndal is the latest name I have seen a left back at Ajax over to those in the know to say if he is worth 8.4 according to rumour.
1.) 28 Aug 2024 10:02:33
Owen Wijndal wants to join Leeds United who have shown the most serious interest for the player. Ajax prefer to sell but a loan with option to buy seems most likely.
2.) 28 Aug 2024 10:46:09
Wijndal was class a few seasons back but I've not watched him recently. If he's found his form again he'd be a really good signing.
3.) 28 Aug 2024 12:29:21
LUFC hierarchy recruitment
Previous 40 days
1 permo signing
1 crock loan
Way to go fellas
Little less speculation more action eh
Promotion is a MUST!
4.) 28 Aug 2024 12:41:27
Baz,
Bogle, Rothwell, Largie and Solomon. We know there's a good chance of two more coming in.
Rumours say at least one more going out.
5.) 28 Aug 2024 13:08:18
MoT. You will learn that Baz is “selective with facts”.
His motto is “ Keeping it real-ish”, and his claim to fame is “100% always above approximately 74% accurate”.
6.) 28 Aug 2024 13:12:19
If that is the case we are going to have one of the smallest or the smallest squad in the championship.
7.) 28 Aug 2024 13:40:42
Loads of freaks seem to be moving late tbh. At least we're bringing players in and not losing then like Burnley and Sheff are (potentially)
8.) 28 Aug 2024 13:55:13
This owen from Ajax looked a great 2 seasons ago but where linked with every Tom Dick n Harry.
9.) 28 Aug 2024 14:07:02
Sober good and gnonto prob and bad.
10.) 28 Aug 2024 16:03:46
Brighty just to correct yer
94% accurate ?.
11.) 28 Aug 2024 17:20:46
Lol. Fair enough Baz. Touché.
12.) 29 Aug 2024 07:55:28
Deffo meant to write teams and not freaks ?.
27 Aug 2024 13:32:26
So turned down 8 for Dejan and we may up the bid, sod that pay for hamer, we offered 13 they will sell for 18 apparently pay it and forget Dejan still think he will be trouble and let's be fair hamer would be some signing.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 14:31:24
Makes sense that, Bri. Agree.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 18:27:22
He's stalled at Zee Lane.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 21:38:31
Tanaka will be the CM freeing up money for an attacking signing.
23 Aug 2024 14:18:24
So 7 million offered for Dejan double original price, hope he's worth it as reports look as though he may be a bit wayward or easily led, we shall see, personally I'm not sure.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 16:04:08
Move on.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 16:23:18
Agreed Bri, as per below!
3.) 23 Aug 2024 16:41:02
Haven't seen this anywhere trustworthy.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 22:53:43
No chance we offer 7m. 5m tops.
21 Aug 2024 12:58:11
Rumour that mes could be axed if he doesn't stopp the mistakes he makes, Darlow waiting for opportunity, fills you with confidence and a warm fuzzy feeling doesn't it.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 13:44:42
Darlow is awful. that's like choosing between excrement and vomit for lunch.
2.) 21 Aug 2024 14:08:54
I thought the other day when someone posted about alioski. Put him in goal. Imagine how many players he would get sent off. Prob wouldn’t need to make a save. 100% better than the crap we have.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 14:11:07
A lovely analogy Alf! Cheers! Lol! ???.
4.) 21 Aug 2024 15:33:22
Tell mes that he gets 5% of his wage deducted every time he rolls the ball out instead of a proper goal kick.
5.) 21 Aug 2024 16:14:57
Mes might be a completely mediocre keeper, but he's at least 5x better than Darlow.
6.) 21 Aug 2024 16:25:17
He won't get any pay MoT.
7.) 21 Aug 2024 16:28:52
And we paid 700k for Darlow that's 300k less than it would have cost for Johansson brilliant by our recruitment team. Is there anyone on here that believes Darlow was worth it and then as back up we buy Cairnes beggars belief.
8.) 21 Aug 2024 17:42:24
Cairnes never expected to play - just brought in for low PSR impact. Quite a few teams are making similar moves with a 3rd keeper.
9.) 21 Aug 2024 20:04:14
Cairnes also qualifies as a homegrown player which helps us meet that quota.
07 Aug 2024 11:25:51
Possible podence rumour thoughts guy's.
1.) 07 Aug 2024 18:10:32
No from me, he’ll be on big money and he’s very inconsistent.

Brilliant signing at Coventry, well brilliant for all the other teams.
1.) 28 Nov 2024 16:47:54
Media billing it as his last chance; I think it will be too. He’s been found out too many times.
2.) 28 Nov 2024 16:54:27
He can always go to Plymouth they will need a new manager soon.
3.) 28 Nov 2024 19:11:37
I expect the LUFC away fans will give Fun time Frankie plenty of stick when we play Coventry.
17 Nov 2024 17:46:53
Now I really like Bellingham but two matches two yellows for opening his mouth he really does moan like a good un.
17 Nov 2024 13:50:00
See we are linked with Kent again must have been coming to us at least 20 times boring.
16 Nov 2024 13:42:09
Sincere condolences to Ed002.
1.) 16 Nov 2024 19:34:18
Really sad news. RIP Ed002.
10 Nov 2024 17:22:17
So guys and gals serious question, now I have followed mighty Leeds for 60 years, football in general has obviously changed some times for the better but what can be done about the pathetic play acting rolling about as if shot getting fellow professionals booked or sent off banned etc.
This is nothing to do with Firpo that's just a coincidence, but this type of behavior is in my opinion ruining the game I love and have loved all my life. So as I said serious question what if anything can be done, maybe nothing, everything I think of would cause other problems like sin bins, or all injuries that are not head or broken bone injuries should be treated off field, use a stretcher and not be able to return to play for 5 minutes.
I know these are outlandish but what can be done, a lot on here might just think it's just part of the game so put up with it, that is possibly right but I get pigged off watching obvious cheating. Anyway over to you, you may think I am having senior moment that's fine say so if that's what you believe but I just want to hear ideas thoughts etc.
1.) 10 Nov 2024 20:08:02
There's already a punishment for simulation. It's called the yellow card. Aiming to prevent simulation before it happens impossible. It's not ruining the game. Refocus on what's important.
2.) 10 Nov 2024 20:21:12
They need to bring in retrospective banning
I. e if you cheat you can not play football or be involved in it until the right has been wronged
So maradonna cheated England stopping us from reaching final so he can’t play again or be involved in football until England reach World Cup final, same with Henry stopping Irish getting to World Cup finals
So any play acting anything like that is least half a season ban until the rematch, if cheating is in bigger game might take longer to right that wrong
It’s a sweeping rule that puts a stop to anything that annoys us
Also var needs to just be ref they over rule pitch ref
Offside needs to be daylight vetween players not slightly offside
Refs can ask players if they cheated if they are found guilty they get shot at dawn.
3.) 10 Nov 2024 21:00:02
Sorry George I didn't realize that blatant cheating isn't important and isn't ruining the game I shall consider myself suitably chastised.
4.) 10 Nov 2024 21:00:48
Oh and the yellow card system obviously works.
5.) 10 Nov 2024 21:56:54
There are so many things that can be learned from Rugby League and one of them is for play to go on whilst an injured player is treated by ONE trainer. If an injured defender goes down in the box then the ref has the right to play on. If he then subsequently contributes in any way to play whilst (feigning) injury punishment should follow.
If any player gets kicked on the shin and clutches his head, there's a yellow card. simulation/ unsportsman, whatever, there's no place for it.
I also think there is room for a disciplinary panel to sit once a week and weed out feigning/ diving/ time wasting with, at the least retrospective yellows.
6.) 11 Nov 2024 01:27:48
I think the only way to effect this part of the game is to make var an equal official during the game, as in rugby. If a player goes down clutching his face, when there was no contact with the upper body should be shown a yellow, and replays should be put on the big screen, and the refs mikes turned on the PA system - explain what they see and why the card. The only way imho is to embarrass the players and reward them with yellow cards. We have all played, and we all know that if you are really hurt you don’t pull a Neymar.
7.) 11 Nov 2024 03:43:48
OB Players want to win. They sometimes alter their behaviour because of this and the stakes can be high. I don't care for the simulation either but in a month where Citeh's alleged indiscretions are coming into sharp focus, I'd be more concerned about that than a player diving or leaving his trailing leg in an action zone to accrue an advantage.
Rather than delving into other sports for inspiration (such as rugby ?) and/ or introducing sin bins (exceptionally bad idea for ⚽) , I'd retain the yellow, red system which has stood the test of time but lean on VAR for corrective action. VAR needs to improve though and I agree with Berm in this instance disallowing a goal due to the length of follicles on someone's patella taking it too far.
What would you do? Introduce quarter million pound ? fines for simulation? Won't fly.
8.) 11 Nov 2024 04:30:21
Some great suggestions, and yes, the simple fact is that it can be remedied quite simply, with harsher retrospective punishments.
You’re totally correct Bri, that it is a factor that is ruining the game, and does have, at times, serious consequences (or benefits) for teams. Such is the speed of play, the ref can’t always tell what is simulation, and what is not, but the replays show these things clearly. 1 match ban if simulation results in a yellow. 3 match ban if the resulting free kick leads to a goal? Anything, just something, that will act as a deterrent.
It’s cheating. But that’s clearly not an issue for our minority figure in the midst.
9.) 11 Nov 2024 09:22:11
I agree that more, much more needs to be done to combat cheating, simulation etc, and agree football can take a lot of learnings from rugby (league and union) as neither have an issue with discipline and respect, but unfortunately the arrogance of the football chiefs will probably refuse any help and advice from outside.
Where there is VAR, they should intervene immediately and a yellow issued etc, but as so much can be missed by refs at the time, a panel that reviews each game, and if cheating, diving, pretending injury to stop play etc is found, immediate 1 game ban, second offence, 3 match ban etc etc. It won’t take long before managers start hammering players for getting banned and clubs subsequently could avoid wanting to sign them.
10.) 11 Nov 2024 10:09:42
Easy enough to stop if the governing bodies want it to happen but until they do any other measures are pointless. Just try to accept the fact the game is corrupt to the core and try to enjoy our stage managed game for what it is.
11.) 11 Nov 2024 10:14:57
As farke in his press conference. Where does it stop. Re reffing games by video after the event is wrong. Unless an action has caused an injury and that was not spotted but going back over games is daft. If we don't have var in a game then we shouldn't be re reffing after the match.
12.) 11 Nov 2024 11:59:58
Good post Bri.
And with your reply George were you being deliberately obtuse?
13.) 11 Nov 2024 12:19:52
My response to idiot Porgie was I believe not allowed cork. But I agree. Absolutely ridiculous response to ani genuine debatable post.
I always thought I was the king of idiots.
Just didn’t see Porgie coming.
14.) 11 Nov 2024 15:26:52
Thought the word Aus used to describe me was banned from the forum. Obviously special treatment for me. One rule for one.
I'm in the Alf camp here but don't see the berating of him.
My chief point is the tool to penalize simulation already exists. If it's spotted, penalize the player. Usually the opponent spots it and complains to get things going.
Don't know why my post so controversial or why the Eds permit abuse to come my way?
15.) 11 Nov 2024 16:42:03
George I agreed with some of your post, however to say diving and play acting is not important is a bit strange, I also wasn't too pleased with the ridiculous comment about me possibly supporting a massive fine please don't treat me like a child. My final comments are
1 I appreciate the city situation is important but my post was about a single subject
2 I agree the offside situation is bad remember Bamfords fingernail offside when he pointed where he wanted the ball but again my post wasn't about offside decisions
3 I always thought this was a banter site not an only post what others agree to site, do I have to ask what I can or can't post
4 My post was meant as a genuine question to the guys and gals on the site and to try to belittle my post was to be honest a poor show. I have respect for all comments on here and never berate others unless I believe the post to be racist, ageist etc
Thanks is now my last comment on this thread and I would like to think it will be yours also.
16.) 11 Nov 2024 17:09:14
Well responded Bri, and you did very well to rise above too. ??????.
17.) 11 Nov 2024 17:13:20
Ah alas Bri, there are some who have a cast iron belief that their opinion is the only important and correct one and others that infringe that are treated with contempt and mocked. This usually implies insecurity and inner angst leading to transferrance as an outlet. Keep posting mon brave.
18.) 11 Nov 2024 18:16:55
OB My observations stand. It has not ruined the game. Instances of deliberate cheating are very slight per season. I'd estimate 0.01% per season.
Take the flagrant example of former player Adryan in 2014 but since then:
1. More gate receipts.
2. Increase in sponsorship deals.
3. TV coverage greater.
4. Fan attendance higher.
5, Fan audience widening.
6. American ownership now involved.
7. Stadium expansion for many clubs and plans for more clubs.
8. Growth of podcasts.
9. Transfer market going strong.
10. International fixtures and competitions still exciting.
11. Excellent introduction of stamp out racism program into the game.
The game commercially is booming and thriving.
If anything, few far between instances of intentional simulation only stimulate greater interaction among fans, media etc because now there's something extra to talk about.
Cheating is distasteful but the facts don't support your assertion it's ruining the game.
19.) 11 Nov 2024 19:46:12
Refocus on what’s important Georgy. No need for the long post on such a trivial matter.
You seem rattled my boy?
20.) 11 Nov 2024 19:48:30
George. No facts regarding cheating and simulation, just your own plucked from thin air estimate, which is utter garbage. Pointless trying to backtrack and justify. Foundationless arrogance, ignorance, and just effing rude to top it off. Too many people have been on the receiving end of it, and have your card marked.
21.) 11 Nov 2024 21:24:20
Cork Trivial you say? Tell that to your fellow posters ???. Make your mind up guys. Minute ago thought it was ruining the game and potent new rules must come in.
22.) 11 Nov 2024 21:29:48

All due to players diving I very much doubt that. I would have thought all the above is due to a massive influx of money.
0.01% of fouls are due to players overreacting maybe in a subuteo game but not the games I have watched.
Anyway all I wish to apologize for asking a simple question and starting world war 3 I now know what it feels like to be the devil incarnate onwards and upwards
I shall have to put my next thread to admin to make sure I'm not breaking any rules. ??????.
25.) 12 Nov 2024 03:31:21
0.01% of fouls means there’s only 1 example of simulation/ cheating in every 33 game weeks (so 1 and a bit per season) , which is obviously ludicrous.
It’s also interesting that that logic means both that it’s irrelevant and should be ignored, and also the reason that football is now commercially booming and thriving.
26.) 12 Nov 2024 07:34:51
Lol Bri and Brockers!
George, yes. I do dislike pretty much everything you post. That’s mainly due to the fact you have shown a personality and character I find somewhat unlikeable, in your many posts over approximately the last 13 years (approximately) I have been on this forum. And yes, pleased do explain the “Bulgarian boot licker” jibe.
I do however compliment you, when you squeeze out something that’s not insulting, derisory, mocking, pee poor humour or arrogant, intolerant, or just childish, and sensibly related to the topic of the thread.
I have also offered truce, a clean slate, on at least 3 occasions, which you have publicly rejected.
27.) 12 Nov 2024 15:26:21
Brockley Your putative basis for my calculation is not what I had in mind. Mine based on time during a game.
Original thread claimed it was ruining the game. Game is something one watches. One watches over time.
5400 seconds in a football match.
Let's go with 2 attempts at simulation per game. Don't think it's as much as that but for purposes of this discussion. Either one act of simulation for each team or two for one opponent.
Each act of simulation would only take a second or two. Why? Because in order for it to be simulation, little to no contact is made (not even a foul) by the opposition. If a foul was made, it's not simulation. Therefore the start time for simulation to begin late on during the action sequence. Both sides usually running too. Simulation only going to take a second, perhaps at most 2 to complete.
2 instances per game lasting 2 seconds each brings a grand total of 4. Generous of me to go for 2 instances.
4/ 5400×100 (to form a %) is:
0.07. I was therefore wrong by 0.06 but principle still same. Not even 1% of a game and truth be told I don't think simulation occurs every game at all. Probably more like 1 in 3 making my original % far more accurate.
Accordingly, no lunacy on my part.
28.) 12 Nov 2024 17:21:45
And when play is stop as the simulation results in a free kick / card that takes a minute or two to setup, and drains the clock doesn’t count? Personally I’d also say the move up to the simulation should count, as it’s part of the same move/ attempt to gain advantage via the simulation (certainly in terms of somebody being annoyed about it) .
The average is (various sources) 32-40 second delay per free kick. A simulation is typically in a more dangerous spot (otherwise what’s the point) , so I’d say in reality is longer, so let’s take 40 seconds delay per simulation. 2 simulations (this is low in my opinion, Bruno Fernandes alone probably does enough for the whole premier league) is then 80 seconds, so 1.5% or 150 times more than you suggest, even with low estimates.
Your logic is basically like saying goals are only 0.01% of the game, so do they matter? After all it’s only the time from the last player touching it to it crossing the line.

21 Aug 2024 16:28:52
And we paid 700k for Darlow that's 300k less than it would have cost for Johansson brilliant by our recruitment team. Is there anyone on here that believes Darlow was worth it and then as back up we buy Cairnes beggars belief.

Agree with Baz loan or loans only.
28 Nov 2024 16:54:27
He can always go to Plymouth they will need a new manager soon.
26 Nov 2024 16:19:03
Agree Bright.

Definitely.
