IF WE GO UP WHO IN THE FIRST TEAM SQUAD IS GOOD ENOUGH
meslier? Think so
Ayling I'd give him a chance
White, let's break the bank and keep him
Cooper, NO
Phillips, yes
Klich, premier league mmmmm not sure
Shaks yes
Berardi, no
Douglas, maybe
Alioski, not sure
Costa, jury's our
Harrrison, I think yes
Hernandez, maybe a little old
Bamford, mmm no
Roberts, young enough yes
The rest I'm not convinced . Be a struggle in Prem I admit .

Mighty Alioski is PL quality now. He's matured. Your analysis that apart spot on other than a little negative toward Klich. We're going to need 6 players. 2 central defenders, 2 midfielders one central, other a number 10 and 2 new strikers. Provided we shop at the right venues, that's likely to mean transfer fees in the region of £90m.

17 Jul 2020 08:57:09
Unfortunately with Orta in charge it is more likely that we will waste £60-£70 million on absolute garbage with maybe 1 decent signing in their midst.
Agree0
Disagree0
17 Jul 2020 08:59:06
Pretty good summary, we have to keep Meslier. Klich has great vision, a cultured player who I believe will flourish in the prem. Ayling and Alioski yes. Strangely I also think Bamford will be better in the prem, could be the making of him. Robert's is too inconsistent so not sure, Harrison could be good but also needs a bit more consistency. I believe our game will suit the prem perfectly and you may find players who struggle a bit in the frenetic arena of the championship will shine in the premier league. The future is bright, the future is White. Keep guzzling siblings.

Bright He's Leeds through and through albeit via commercial conversion but even you can do better than spend £3m costing us exactly £1041.67 per second on total sheet and potentially get us locked in to spending another £19m on the same total sheet. Orta's transfer record more miss than hit which only heightens the genius which is Marcelo Bielsa. To enter the final game of the season as guaranteed league leaders with only Paddy Van Bamigoal up top (as opposed to more prolific strikers) illustrates his brilliance. Radz must persuade him to stay on for Premiership stability followed by Premiership dynasty shortly after. Bielsa's brains really shone through once he made some practical modifications to the playing style. He deserves considerable plaudits.

We hammered Stoke 3points, we were second best all day today 3points.
I’m not going to criticise one bit, nerves tension got in our legs (that’s the first time we were not the fitter team) but we did what we had to do.
Barnsley had nothing to lose and everything to gain, we had everything to lose and if we gained well it was only bottom of the league Barnsley.
One point IF the other two retain maximums which as we have seen today, in this league is never guaranteed.
Brilliant, very proud of our team celebrate a job well done today and where we currently sit, rest and we go again, #getpromotiondone.

Thought we were a little nervous today but you got to give it to Barnsley they put up one hell of a fight, sadly for them they are where they are because for all their efforts they can’t finish.
Very disappointed that Bamford wasn’t able to bury his big chance of goal, any natural goal scorer from his angle would of shot across the goalkeeper, not his near post.
Well all I can say is Up the Whites and down the Champers 🥂 as someone has already commented.

His professionalism could never be questioned I suppose.

16 Jul 2020 22:32:25
come on. let's forget he is leeds through and through. let's forget his effort all that stuff. as a player he was a 2nd rate right back. grayson saw he was not good enough and got alying in. somehow since he has been an awful left back and centre back. he is just not a very good player. he has cost us and been poor at this level. why talk about him at leeds in prem? what role could he play at the club at that level. ball boy. bloke in kop kat costume? not sure but tell you this. it ain't on the pitch.

He’s been playing CB Bermo, and doing it well. You really need to clean the grease that‘s adhering that chip to your shoulder. He’s been awesome this season, when called upon, and I think the facts say that we haven’t conceded a goal when he’s played.

Phillips not playing so we have to get the old Beradi is crap nonsense again. Do me a favour and change the record.

I don’t think it’s necessary to belittle the man, we all know this is the end of his contract with Leeds Utd and at 31 this is as good as it gets for the fella. I clap my hands and thank him for his service to the club and especially for his undeniable commitment.

Monk signed Ayling
Berra 14 clean sheets at CB now
A defence is a unit, he steps in when asks, never whinges, always contributes
Does a job, gives everything for the shirt
Rather have him than someone more talented who doesn’t put in a shift
Players like Berra are priceless, every single one of the squad recognise this as do the back room staff
He deserves respect.

Fair play Barnsley but I never realized we could be that bad. Way off the pace and I’d love it if Barnsley stay up even though doubtful. As berm says three points is exactly that and what was needed because if we play like that again we’d be fortunate to get another win.
Always thought Roberts has potential but he’s had maybe seven starts on the trot now and has no way whatsoever taking his chance.

Reminded me of us at times the chances they missed. Average age off 22 the whole team. If they keep hold off most they be up again next year and keep manager. Good too watch. Just not against us.

It is reported that at 5.00pm Matt Hancock will announce some new rules regarding the virus. Rumour has it that as a one day only trial all home teams will have to socially distance themselves from the opposition when not in possession of the ball. If the opposition has possession of the ball no home team player be nearer than three metres to any away player. A penalty will be awarded to the away team whenever and wherever the infringement takes place. It is seen as an important health and safety assessment and taken in full consultation with the EFL. Hope its just a rumour but anything is possible.

THIS is it. Tykes basically have to get three points to have any chance of survival. Even if they beat Florists a point from us and the Bees will not be enough. Still think they will park the bus hoping to keep us out and then try to play the last 20 if still scoreless. Bam Bam needs to score (looking back at some of his misses is incredible - many were harder to miss than actually score! He is either really unlucky or just a plain useless finisher. Sniffer would have had 35 this season! ) Any way enough of me drivel - prediction 3-1 and up we go.
