Hi people. I am a new poster who has followed your posts for a long time. Followed Leeds for 45 years but felt less able to comment as I don't attend many matches anymore. However am going to forest green on Tuesday and interested to see how biielsa sets the team up! I know I may be naive and optimistic with reference to transfers but surely there is no mileage in getting a world class coach and then not buying/acquiring decent players. Could it be that our business is more private and we are not going for the media/agent friendly options that seem to be consistently referred to on other sites. Anyway many thanks to you all for providing me with info/entertainment for so long. Mot!

Ive never known a football club as desperate to offload a player as Carpi, even amid reports we've ended interest in Mbakogu, idiot press are still claiming a deal could be done in the next couple of days, the hope being his sale will fund their own transfer plans, stll knowing Ortas track record who knows, so c'mon Leeds get a top striker in and finally put this to bed, sick of hearing his name now.

So what we are saying to BPF is; yes I know what we all said about you last year, but this year your just not good enough and we are replacing you. So get used to the bench you will be seeing a lot of it in the next few years (uless you move on and we lose you)

Leo I welcome Blackman. Competition for a place. We once had 2 quality keepers vying for No.1 spot, 17 years ago. Didn't damage us then. Goalkeepers can lose form and get injured just like outfield players. It's a good move.

13 Jul 2018 13:58:50
I am all for competition George but this I do not see as competition or any help to BPF whatsoever. A better choice in my eyes would have been Fraser Forster, Southampton, offered on loan. I have no problem with Blackman as a GK I rate him. My concern is for the progress of BPF.
Agree1

13 Jul 2018 14:17:30
Leo That's what coaching is for. I'm sure Abad will handle the goalkeepers professionally. A rival for your shirt is part of the game. Has to happen to BPF some point in his career, may as well be now. I'd rather Blackman than Forster who is more senior, paid too much and could be disruptive. I just hope we land a couple of central defenders who will assist either of these developing goalkeepers keep clean sheets.

13 Jul 2018 15:38:18
Having taken more time to think about it, I think they will be sitting down with BPF and saying "look, you started last season as third choice, you are now vying for number 1, and a certain number 2. Keep developing, and you will be rewarded duly. " I think he will defo be playing the cup games too.
Agree1

George didn’t that happen to him last season, didn’t he wait his turn, and only after the other clowns failed he go in and did a bloody good job.

Not sure of your point Whitey. LUFC requires a goalkeeper because the others they had on their books were complete garbage. Miazek becomes no.3. Blackman shall become no.2 albeit with a realistic chance of no.1 at some point in the future. It's the correct motivation to BPF as opposed to saying to him keep your performances sharp because this German 30 year old isn't breathing down your throat because every football to him is like handling a bar of soap and this 38 year old never was has been called Lonergo who can only kick a ball as hard as I can urinate isn't breathing down your throat either. Who would you rather they go for? Be happy we are securing quality not dross.

Blackman is a better keeper imo. Bailey as back up /competition Makes sense and will probably get us about 10 more points than last season. Whilst BPF came in and did well, we still kept conceding in games. Blackman will dominate the box more.

13 Jul 2018 19:53:36
Blackman will start as No. 1. Chelsea would not have loaned him out to sit on the bench.
