Andre Grey, Che Adams, Dwight Gayle all slip through.

bowen 3m just to loan.

16 Jan 2020 21:57:52
Snap him up now. £3 m could turn out to be a bargain. 🤞👍⚽️⚽️.

16 Jan 2020 22:26:22
OMG, 3 mill now what could that equate to come August, as Derek Trotter always told us, he who dares,

16 Jan 2020 22:26:45
Not going to get any forward in and going to get spanked by QPR.

17 Jan 2020 00:32:21
Love to see Bowen in the white shirt but can not see it happening. If we had gone for him in the summer like i told them to we may have had a chance. Clubs not going to loan players like Bowen out at this stage. Might agree to sell him but we will not put money like that up front.

16 Jan 2020 19:00:14
As I'm from hull and all my mates rave about him and never shut up about how good he is and how Man City are going to fork out 50 million for him one day, I want Bowen more than anyone. 3 million loan fee is an awful lot considering we have 19 games left and he can't play 1 of them (against hull) . Almost £200,000 per game. Now if he scores 10 goals between now and the end of the season it's worth it. The obligation to buy should only be if we go up IMO. But if we do I think you can slap another £15 mil on top of it.

On another note woy at palace stating he'd let benteke go this window for £500,000 loan fee. There's a lethal goal scorer in there, more so than Tammy Abraham was, just hasn't worked out for him since he left villa, that may be the cheaper option, but it's a question of wages and would the player drop down a level to refind his form?

16 Jan 2020 19:24:33
will benteke make belia team. is he wha belisa wants?

also have it from a good source at top of palace that they would let him go if someone covered most of his wages to free up there bill. that is a lot of money though and is he past his best?

could be leathal but not in a belisa team.

16 Jan 2020 19:38:46
No need for Bowen buy to be conditional on promotion.
He would be worth 15 mill if under contract.
People only holding back trying to get him on cheap IMO as his contract is running down.

16 Jan 2020 20:20:03
Bowen would be a great signing.

16 Jan 2020 20:46:00
Benteke would also be fantastic, and he's not over the hill yet, big strong + fantastic In the air

Something We haven't seen since Chapo.

16 Jan 2020 23:45:37
Bowen’s contract not as close to running out as it could be. Half a year left with an option to trigger for another year so a year and a half if Hull want to hang on to him.

17 Jan 2020 07:50:56
Benteke will get you goals, the same way mitrovic will get you goals. The benteke option seems more logical to me but you make a good point about would he fit a bielsa system. Time is running out at the way he spoke yesterday, only the players we have fit a bielsa system and whoever it is will need to get up to speed.

Derby charged by EFL for breaching FFP rules.

16 Jan 2020 18:25:56
Fooooking loving it, about time, no doubt jim white will defend them tomorrow on talk sport with his pall morris.

16 Jan 2020 19:01:45
And about time too!

16 Jan 2020 19:25:38
dont love it richie. derby have been found guilt and the punishment is leeds to be docked 15 points.

{Ed025's Note - love it BW..

16 Jan 2020 20:24:40
Lampard at Chelsea should also be charged.

16 Jan 2020 20:26:15
Now let’s see what the punishment is, they might make them play all there under 23 games behind closed doors.

16 Jan 2020 20:27:25
Derby FFP charges # Karma # Joy

NOW can that very nice EFL do the same for Brentford Forest, Fulham and oh yes the Baggies too😊😊

# promotion sorted 😊.

16 Jan 2020 15:43:00
Clarke signs for QPR. What's the betting that he plays at the weekend and has a blinder against us?

16 Jan 2020 17:01:22
And scores 😬😬.

16 Jan 2020 17:02:40
Pretty sure Clarke won't go straight into their first eleven. but expect him to be on the bench

. wish Clarke well but hope he has has a stinker against Leeds if he does play

Leeds need the 3 points big time .

16 Jan 2020 16:51:39
was thinking the same, it would just about rub salt into the wounds should he get the winner.

16 Jan 2020 17:45:53
Now chasing Jarrod Bowen from Hull allegedly, loan to buy.
Hoping Proveda signing announced in next 24 hours or would worry it’s another one who’s got away.

16 Jan 2020 20:26:31
Clarke scoring NO chance, my granny would save it.

This is for those who attend ER regularly.
How many of you have ever worked with/ listened to or read about sports psychology?
I had little knowledge of anything to do with it until my youngest was competing at a very high level (it made a huge difference to his performance level, he ranked 6th in Canada and beat an Olympian at 16!) .

I'm certainly no expert but please do a quick google on 'sports psychology negativity from supporters' and see if any of it resonates.
Wondering what the ER atmosphere is like and whether any of you believe our negativity (fans) could be affecting the performance of the team. How does it compare with away games?

I believe Brits in general are negative and us Yorkies are even worse than average so just wondering if we are part to blame!

16 Jan 2020 15:27:30
I’ve only been 3 times but are the supposed beat fans in the land now why our team can let in goals and not score?
Easy. Nobody go.

16 Jan 2020 15:33:04
I think psychology has a huge part to play and ER is not a place for the faint hearted to play. that is sometimes why certain players fail when they come to Leeds and others flourish.

16 Jan 2020 15:36:53
Canada, This is a very important and relevant philosophy in sports. The negativity of anticipated bad luck and failure actually helps to create them because it contributes to us not putting our best foot forward. It blocks the flow of positive energy and directs the Law of Attraction to attract negative consequences rather than positive outcomes.
From fans to players to management absolutely 100% it has an effect.

16 Jan 2020 16:10:51
Aus, luck can cause the initial issue (or simply a mistake or off day) which can affect us as fans and we can then further make things worse by showing our frustration and nervousness.
That's why strikers who are on a roll often continue, confidence. Similarly slumps can go on too long.

16 Jan 2020 18:10:06
firstly canada well done to your boy that is a real achievement and well impressed!

i posted something a while back the crowd definatly can affect in any sport (and in my industry as well) but it is not just the neigitive i think the positive is just as bad

leeds are going up. top of the league. all puts pressure on the players

i mentioned before wall v brighton, gulls were wining and singing going down. wall sung so are we. the wall players lifted it was like the pressure went. wall won the game and went on a run and stayed up


id like to hear a lot leeds leeds going up and more marhcing on togheter (which must lift the players) and even maybe more leeds falling apart again as it might ease pressure

on another note. cry your eyes frank lampard defiantly lifted derby. he who laughs last and all that.

16 Jan 2020 19:07:04
I think each player will react differently.
I always do well under pressure, some dont.
We all feel pressure for different reasons.
Dont have answers just generally think positive is better.
For example next time Bamford misses a sitter why not sing:-

'The next one's going in,
Next one, next one's going in'.

Would show belief (even if we doubt! ) And hopefully help confidence.
