Hi all. Just been browsing a few sites reporting rumoured signings etc and i bet that this bloody McBurnie type character decides to showcase his talents this weekend. Then sign for someone else.

he's a Leeds lad so you would imagine he will be keen on joining to prove we were wrong to let him go as a youngster.

A jocular comment and i still get a thumbs down beating. Not even allowed to be happy. Boo hoo. Boo hoo hoo. Boo hoo hoo even. At least it's not personal. The detractor appears to have a pip at all of us.

If he has any sort of love for Leeds he will pick up a knock in the warm up or volunteer to go in goal.

Heard it all before that this player or that player loves leeds, is a Leeds lad, or been a fan since childhood. Then come the new season they are lining up for another championship club because they been offered better money. Stockdale for instance. Let's get real guys, we can't compete with some clubs in our league let alone playing wages some from Prem clubs are used to.

We were never in for Stockdale - how was that the players choice?

It was rumoured that we were looking at him towards end of last season when his contract was ending at Brighton. He made it well known that he was Leeds and would love to play for us. What I am saying is we get linked to lots of so called Leeds loving players only to see them turn up at other clubs on better wages than we pay.

Your rating for Allerdyce Ed? i thought you'd have been a fan being a Red

{Ed001's Note - a lot of my family and friends are or have been employed by Everton, so I have no dislike of them. Just so long as they don't beat us! You were right though, that was what I expect his rating to be.}
18 Apr 2018 16:50:57
I don’t think he has done that bad myself Ed - they were en route to be relegated before Big Sam took the helm and they are top half now. I think Everton are in a similar situation to us in that they spent a lot on a load of dross and one can’t polish a turd.
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - I think people forget that Rhino had turned things around already before Sam came in, as the Scam Artist took credit for the win Unsworth got, without any input from him, in his final game. Performances had picked up under Unsworth and they were going the right way, that was not down to Allardyce. In fact, since he has got his feet under the table, their performances have got significantly worse.
You are right, you can't polish a turd, but Allardyce has been covering himself with glitter for years and people are falling for it.}

I'm a turd polisher by trade, and without wanting to sound like I'm bragging, mine come out very nicely! 😏

I think we have enough potential talent on our books now. We need some 25/26/27 year olds who've played at a higher level than us.

Totally agree SG. We need some experience to compliment the youth, and an older one to be the leader! A Strachan type personality.

It would very unpopular but Joey Barton would be that kind of player.

Barton is the type of player that would probably be a cult hero for us. He has made enough money maybe he fancies a challenge and some way of leaving a legacy?

No he won’t. Been appointed head coach off Fleetwood. On 3 year deal. Wants to have a go at coaching. I would say he will be a nightmare too play under if you don’t work and put the efffort in. Hey. Maybe he should have came too us. ⚽️⚽️👍👍

Trying to process the information and developments. On questions like are the younguns coming good. Is the 5 yr plan starting to take shape. Has orta bought well enough after all. Has heck bought into radz plan? Is rad going to keep both of them. Who do we need to buy. Is next year the year when we keep a few of the good senior players. Blood four or five younguns and buy 2-3 good first teamers. And expect to finish mid table with a very young team? If this the case. Bfk. Connor. Pearce. Pontus plus 1. Forshaw. Viera. Plus 2 yonguns. Roberts plus a younun or new one. Still have sauz. Aluoski. Hern. Phillips. Berahdi. As back up. Poss roofe although lots will disagree. Then the following season push on. If this is the plan. I can put up with one more moderate season. But a little bit more info from radz etc would make me feel better. Or maybe his 5 yr plan changes every few months.

Good post Aussie. I too am happy with the noises coming out of Elland Road and we seem to be slowly turning the juggernaut around. For me the keys are continuity at the top. Blooding of the young guns, now and the signings made in the summer. Even so I am beginning to fill with optimism for next season. Mind you I probably said the same thing at the end of the last three seasons.
