Not sure what was more disappointing/ embarrassing tonight.
The performance of the lads
Or
Kiko as captain.
On the plus side I listened to it on Radio Leeds instead of paying the £10 so it could have been worse 😂
Congratulations to Hull btw.

Villa sign Martinez and Kiko captains Leeds all on the same day.

envious of the former, and the latter is deeply concerning

We are now again a Premier league team

We are Leeds United.

We deserve/ need a class goalkeeper m.

Perhaps not all is rose as we would believe, didn’t show up at all. Some players still not ready still one for the future.

Bazooka, it's amazing how other teams to about their player recruitment compared to us. Seems that teams like Villa, Sheffield Utd, Everton and even Southampton identify a player they need and get them in, we supposedly chase a player for weeks and struggle to get anywhere. We can buy lots of young players with so called potential to stock our under23 team, seems that we do this with ease.
I know we are looking at bigger transfer fees due to being in the premiership, and have to spend wisely, but other teams seem to chase the same players as we been linked with like Watkins and manage to pull the deals out of the bag.
We spend too much time chasing players from abroad who are unlikely to come while the players under our noses are being snapped up by other teams in our league.

That was excruciating. None of them came away with any credit in the bank . The youngsters clearly aren't ready . But for me the biggest disappointment was TR who is quickly turning into some kind of circus act with all his fancy flicks and no end product . Oh and obviously Casilla was a predictable disaster who needs his contract paid up if necessary . We have no strength in depth that much is obvious . We are a handful of key long term injuries away from relegation . We must not waste the next three weeks of this window . Stop messing around and pay the going rate .

Indeedy RHC the long term underinvestment in proper squad players is going to really be plain to see now in the big time . I know posters will tell me that Bubs only wants a small squad, but that is not going to work in the prem, we need cover in depth in key areas of the 1st team, if bam +rodi start firing blanks where are the goals then coming from? Kiko is not worthy of a prem place, pascal is still learning, and Pablo is pushing on, we need new faces in all those areas for starters .

We’ve gone out at the same stage at home the previous two seasons and in the scheme of things especially THIS season and personally I think it’s a blessing in disguise.

Absolute garbage tonight but totally agree about a blessing in disguise. We can't afford to spend time farting about with cups.
Staying up is the main priority. Everything else is a bonus.
Getting beat and playing rubbish still feels lousy though class.

16 Sep 2020 23:07:19
Oh it was garbage YC but again that may help recruitment decisions. Do not understand the likes of Douglas not grabbing the opportunity but it explains why he doesn’t get a run in the first team.

Hope MB tears them a new one after that, but remain convinced it’s still a blessing.

Read today Dele Ali needs to. e away from Spurs and Mourinho to re ignite his career, it so obvious to me, they loan Bale then loan Ali to us, give him a year with God, then see what a player he becomes, by end of season Mourinho will be gone.

Massive opportunity for Casey and Cresswell tonight . Maybe we don't need to spend big money on centre backs after all?
Really like to see Rodrigo get off the mark tonight and players like Poveda and bogusz give Bielsa a selection headache for future games . I'd like us to go far in the cups to give game time to these guys.

Yes I also thought he was the better of the choices we have been linked to. Honestly can't see us signing another keeper though.

Starting to feel slightly underwhelmed now by Leeds first team recruitment so far

Envious of Villa signing Watkins and now Martinez both players desirable especially the latter

It sucks (as Villa with that Sheff Utd goal. standing should have been relegated) so would not have been signed either.

16 Sep 2020 18:51:09
I wonder wether Kiki is digging his heals in and refusing to leave, another quasmin boey or whatever he’s called.

The JKA bizarre conundrum rumbles on.

RB Leipzig resurfacing today making legal threats in the media about taking Leeds to court over their ' contractual obligations' over JKA

I wonder if there is more to this in his contract than we know as Leeds appear to have no intention of making payment and several months have passed without Leipzig actually carrying out their legal threats.

And what about JKA? Is he training with Leipzig or what?

Either way this sorry affair is a reminder to me that Orta made yet another pigs ear of a player recruitment decision.

Think it a bit like the Messi saga. All about timing. Messi didn’t get his release clause cause too late. We didn’t get promoted until beyond normal season so dosent count.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 14:36:43
If they really had a case they would have dragged us through the courts already, my bet is he had play so many games to trigger the clause too. There commenting on us splashing the cash because it’s not going to them and they need it. Empty threats imo.

Yes Aus and Martyn good points.

16 Sep 2020 17:59:47
For a ( then) championship club to spend that sort of money on what was a once very highly rated player was actually one hell of a coup and statement of intent

This was one of the mostly highly rated players in Europe not long ago

Wasn’t like it was Luke Varney

MB clearly said si por favor


He arrived unfit but keen to play for the club

At some point Leeds cooled on the idea be it for medical or temperament reasons

Hope the lad sorts his career out.

Transfer wise I would go all out for De Paul . The guy is a machine who will give goals, assists and do the dirty defensive side which Pablo, Roberts, Benrahma, Kent, Buendia and Wilson will not do . £35 m well spent . With the balance I would not buy Gvardiol . We don't need a left sided CB, we have Coops, Pascal, Davis and Casey . We actually need cover for Koch as to pull over KP or Ayling would severely weaken us and we only have young Charlie Cresswell . I would also use our last loan spot for an experienced keeper and send Kiko the clown on his merry way .

Believable3 Unbelievable0

16 Sep 2020 09:51:09
I agree currie I think De Paul and maybe a natural poacher striker and a good solid centre back would complete it for me but what do I know. If I knew half as much as bielsa I’d be making a hell of a lot more money than I do as mere mortal.

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 09:59:55
RHC, I absolutely agree with you. From the stats I have seen this guy is the sort of player we should be looking at for our club.
I don't know the guys psychology but the number of assists and goals suggests he is a forward looking player, but the number of defensive contributions and won tackles must suggest he rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in too. A SIDE BEFORE SELF attitude in my opinion. Perfect for the small close squad that Bielsa is seemingly trying to create. A bit of Klich, mixed with a bit of Pablo, and a dash of Kalvin.

And at this point I agree with one of Bermo's recent posts in which he alludes to using Pablo more effectively. At the moment he is are one true 'playmaker'. Having Gotts, Stevens and Shackleton on the bench doesn't give up that like for like player (yet! ) . Having a central midfield four of De Paul, Henandez, Klich and Phillips gives us the option of 2 DMs, 2 No8s, and 2 'playmakers' off international quality.

And finally Ester.

The young Croatian centre back.

If a youngster doesn't have the desire to pit himself against some of the best forwards in the world, doesn't have the desire to be coached by a recognised world best coach. Then maybe his mindset is not right for Leeds Utd or the Premier League no matter how good his physical attributes seem to be.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 10:28:04
Good post Axe except the part about ' shock jock ' Berm. as in his two recent posts he alludes to selling Pablo to a championship team. blasphemy!

I take it Axe that is not your thinking of using Pablo ' more effectively '
