Really hope Swansea win tonight and can stay up. Only way I can see Barts coming to us is if they retain their premiership status. Can't get excited one bit about the games we have lined up in Myanmar, hope the players stay safe. Roll on the start of the new season!

No Bartley. oh yes, injured again. How many matches did he even take part in all season? He must now be cheap.

I hope we all remain friends after this close season. Ask 20 people their choices and you will get 20 different answers. Each one being vehemently argued for, and when we learn of actual signings that's another argument all over again. I have already posted my suggestions and have already forgiven all those who disagreed with my inspired choices. Life is too short and you can't really help being wrong. My only worry is that Hecky may not be reading my posts.

Im keen to see peoples thoughts on who we should sign this summer. I think - Bartley Marriot Maddison Mcgeady We could be a different team, also have klich back as i think he could be good but just didn't get on with Christiansen. Thoughts ?

Funnily enough I've just posted more or less the same on the rumours page . great minds and all that :)

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2018 20:50:00
Grabban on loan, Marriott, Maddison, Ross Wallace, Ryan Fredericks, Bartley would be a good start although it does worry me when players have bad injuries and he has two very close together. We have Roberts, Klich, Coyle, Antonsson, Ideguchi to come in as well who could all potentially have an impact.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 May 2018 20:25:50
Bartley injured again. The two posh players are way over priced imo for the level they’ve been playing at. As for McGeady no thanks. Maddison of the two of what I've seen has a better chance of stepping up but what do I know as I thought Sean maguire at Preston had little chance of making the step up!

Agree2 Disagree0

08 May 2018 22:02:46
Marriott and Maddison have hints of Kemar roofe v2.0 for me. Could be the real deal but I thought that about roofe too so cautious now. Bartley had a fantastic season with us, but injuries seem to keep him sidelined. Mcgeady I have no idea. Klich definitely agree, he seems to have some class in his play. Give him another go!

Agree1 Disagree0

08 May 2018 23:57:34
Don’t fancy Marriot. Looks a right winger and way too light weight for champ.

Agree0 Disagree1

09 May 2018 21:05:53
why does Antonsson keep getting a mention? Barely good enough for League 1

As I'm posting the Myanmar team has just been released and I must say that has cheered me right up. If that doesn't tell you that they're properly assessing the assets that we have then I don't know what does. Interesting that saiz is on there, might that be his last few games for leeds? good to see ailing there too tbh he needs the game time and fitness. ekuban and grot will propbably be judged in terms of 'are you able to be a first team player, if not, look elsewhere' and the rest is just about youth players. I think hecky will say that they need to prove theior worth. players like shackelton, diaz, machuca, nicell have got a pretty good opportunity here if you ask me, yes its only 2 games. But it makes you wonder where players like sacko, cibicki, anita, even berardi who I thought would be there considering he can actually play, are in the pecking order. Really do hope this is a good signa dn it will divide those who still need more youth development from those who are ready to make the step up. Praying that dalby and Edmondson do some damage and really give hecky a headache with selection. This its a pre pre season job this, bit of a wind down, and I actually quit elike the idea, just a shame about the location and who were actually coming up against. personally think he'll play 2 completely different teams. Something along the lines of: BPF, ailing, rey, struijk, denton, phillips, shackelton, Clarke, saiz, grot, dalby. Lonergan, Hosannah, oconnor, diaz, pearce, Vieira, nicell, gomes, machuca, saiz, edmondson

Thanks Samo. Where are, O'Kane, Alioski, Sarkic and Halme I wonder. Also is that Lonners as back up to BPF as no sign of the two young goalies.

Agree4 Disagree0

08 May 2018 11:08:22
I think sarkic is injured, shame kun isn't there too. Not sure about the situation on halme, and personally I see okane and alioski not being there due to having played a full season (despite it being a full season of terrible performances) I think he's saying to rest them for a couple of weeks, hopefully okane will be out the door soon enough andyway, and alioski to follow in January if he doesn't pull his finger out

Agree4 Disagree2

08 May 2018 16:20:11
Shows how little you know, Alioski been one of our better players ( accept not amazing but better) . Given more for the team each week than any other!

Agree4 Disagree0

08 May 2018 17:53:21
Have to agree with Phillg, O'Kane would be first on my list of released players. Alioski? I like him, puts a lot of tackles in, scores a few, a 100%ER.

Agree2 Disagree0

08 May 2018 18:32:51
Sarkic and Hame both injured. Not going to learn much from this trip really. Maybe how to treat malaria quickly and effectively.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2018 18:46:18
Totally agree Phil and AL re alioski. Never stops running, never stops trying. After a real pre season, and his first season in the English leagues, I think we will have a real quality player in the side.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 May 2018 07:44:53
Hopefully youll all prove me wrong! he's very athletic yes and has a skill element to his play, his decision making and strength aren't the greatest though. He was played on the left wing and up front for lugano and scored 17, played on the right and left wing for us and has returned 7 with 5 assists. That's okay for a first season I guess, I think I just expected a bit more with him being dubbed 'mahrez's replacemenet at Leicester' last season before he came to leeds. who knows?

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2018 07:41:00
I can’t believe that West Brom have not appointed Darren Moore as manager, and they are still actively looking for a big name! He has won 3 and drawn 2 out of five matches which is better than Pardew did, I would welcome Moore with open arms at Elland Road!

Believable8 Unbelievable3

08 May 2018 09:28:29
To be honest, why not? his record is unbelievable and he's been very good with young players in the past. plus he looks like he knows how to help alioski bulk up a bit.

Agree5 Disagree1

08 May 2018 21:11:26
Darren Moore has done an incredible job galvanising that squad that couldn't even buy a point previously much like Nigel Pearson did a number of years ago and they didn't give him the job either. Moore deserves it and it is a no brainer to me that he should be given the chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2018 07:11:44
Looks to me like hecky will be with us for start of season otherwise he would of been fired yesterday . so i suppose we got to give him a transfer window and the start of the season to see what he can do with another batch of below par players that Ortiz wants and hecky has never heard of

Believable3 Unbelievable1

08 May 2018 07:30:28
Looking like that. Really nothing we can do. It’s radz and Orta that need to lift their game now and buy 3-4 top notch players and then we can say to heck. 6 games to prove yourself at beginning of season. We have about 6-7 worthy of a start next season and about 8 worthy of a bench spot. We need to fill the gaps with quality proven hungry players.

Agree3 Disagree1

08 May 2018 08:29:49
You could buy 10 top notch players Aus but if they don't wanna play for snakeybottom then it's pointless

Agree1 Disagree2

08 May 2018 09:28:39
We need 10 but I will settle for 4!
I’m 80% convinced heck’s isn’t the man for us Martyn but we were trash when we got him. Admittedly he has done nothing since but even Winston Churchill couldn’t have rallied that bunch of girly wimps. He is going to get more time so going to have to give him benefit of the doubt for first 6 games. Before that though I want radz and Orta to prove their worth with notable signings.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 May 2018 13:01:38
Very true Martyn. its been seen so many times recently that players just stop playing for a manager. Pardew, Ranieri, Mourinho (at Chelsea) if the players don't take to him, he'll be the one to be sacked. maybe we do bring in these big names and they tell hecky to do one. he's never worked with players as big as jansson Hernandez and saiz before, even lasogga, and to be honest I'm not sur ethis is his level. we can wait and see though.

shame about barnsley going down, always did enjoy beating them and I'm not sure itll be easy for them to come back. The fact they've gone down makes yiadom and Lindsay seem more likely to come to us. To be honest I think i'd take bradshaw and mcburnie too (even though he's at Swansea) my fear now is that monk takes mcburnie to brum, its almost written.

Hernandez said PH was a key factor in him signing up again. ?

Hey Leodis, Cheers for your reply. I have seen the kid Ideguchi play in Japan and also watched him tear Australia apart in the Asian cup. I know that this football is not as strong as the Championship but the kid is a class above where he was playing. He has a good head on his shoulders and a willingness to work. Will never be the worst signing and I'm sure he will surprise, I hope so anyway
