He's having teeth whitening, cheek implants, nose job and a hair transplant. They want him looking good for the great reveal.

anyone seen that story about Bouy? - we brought him in, he has never played for us, he refuses to play for us or train with us and has no desire at all to play football. he is just sitting taking a wage, travelling back and forth from Holland and we can't even get rid of him with 2 years left on his contract.

wtaf? what a waste of time and money and they can't even terminate a contract with someone who refuses to play football. He probably gets paid more than I do per week and does literally nothing. He would soon fall back in love with football if he had to serve burgers at McDonalds I can tell you. Meanwhile we are paying for another 'one for the future' that is already a has been.

Classic Orta.

If he refuses to play he'd be in breach of contract.
Club simply have to say arrive for work at x time and if he doesn't would be in breach som could terminate the contract.
Where'd the info come from?

It’s already with the legal team, or so I read, and I think there is more to it than meets the eye. He’s basically gone on strike, but will be made to pay his dues in time.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 22:55:31
That’s what I thought Canada but evidently we can’t shift him and he refuses to come to a termination agreement.

Alf, it depends on what agreement we want.
We would have the right to simply fire him, but for arguments sake let's see he wants to go to another club and we won't let him so he does his strike thing maybe we won't fire him as he could then go to the other club for free. Maybe we are not prepared to allow that.
I would assume we can simply not pay him but retain his rights if we don't fire him.

If Bielsa doesn't trust some of the U23s then why, oh why, does he not send them out on loan to get some competitive experience?

Noticed when we do send players out on loan they rarely come back.

Adidas!

surely that will bring some money in?

23 Jan 2020 20:58:29
Would we get more money if we were in the Prem?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 21:18:51
dunno leodis - maybe the deal has a clause in it so we get more money if we get promoted as there will be higher, worldwide exposure.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:33:09
18 games left to play . currently on 52 points so need another 38 to guarantee promotion. so really can only afford to drop another 16 points . five more defeats . really need to go on a winning run.

Bowan has to get done, simply has to.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 15:40:01
Get Bowen. He would be our best signing in years. Not an out and out striker but can score lots and set up Bamford for tap ins that even he couldn't miss. His value will go up. Get Bowen please! Get him, we go up. It's that simple to me.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 17:43:27
According to news no bid has been received from Leeds for Bowen, don’t get Radz at all with his last minute deals.

23 Jan 2020 18:43:00
Troy Parrot at Spurs should be looked at.

So we are now going overseas to find a striker, All PL ones don't want to come or are two expensive let's see what we now get .

Probably the best place to look rather than pay over inflated prices over here.

I am sick to death with it now.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 14:25:44
Pleased about it to be honest. Better than paying £20mill for someone who hasn’t even scored in the PL! Well over priced, so I hope we have walked away from the Saints!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 16:11:21
Like bamford.

We bought a striker from overseas last window called Mujica and he is still overseas.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 18:35:58
Chris chill out it’s no different to every year.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:29:11
Mujica has had his loan terminated as he can't score. Missed a sitter at the weekend and left the game in tears so his loan team had enough and sent him back. I think he is going out on another loan but the solution to our scoring crisis he does not sound like.

another Orta classic.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:46:02
Def Orta masterclass alf. can't even get in U23s. A lad named Amor came with and heard nothing of him either.

At what point is Andrea ever going to turn to Victor and actually ask him, How many of my millions have you now wasted on donkeys Victor?

Agree0 Disagree0

Predictions for the remainder of the season guys? In my view we will limp in around seventh or eighth and Bielsa will no longer be here by season's end .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 11:54:46
Top 10 finish for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:53:24
Fatigue for me is the biggest problem. We have 18 games left. 87 to 90 points is a realistic target for a team in this position. One who has all the credentials.
Who goes up will all come down to the last few games, so you need to be in the mix. Two decent players in the next week and the players allowed to rest up more between games and its still on.

Have the players got the bottle or will a repeat of last season be the easier option for them to take. These types of bad habits are hard to shake.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:58:08
Top 2 for me, we are by far the best footballing side in the league and with a decent striker we will be fine.
The pessimism from supporters has an effect, you only have to work with someone that is negative to know how that effects others.
So what I am trying to say. We are 2nd, we can't win all the time, it is frustrating i know, but you would pay to go on a flat roller coaster would you! 😉😉😉.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 13:05:40
Top 1 for me.

Agree5 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 13:36:09
Promotion, if we sign a couple or three this window. We NEED a back up striker, or we’re stuffed.

£50 says we won't win the league Cork, payable through PayPal end of season? Come on what you say?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 17:10:45
Depends on whether we bring anyone in or not. At the moment top two as that is where we are and teams chasing us have not been very consistent. Brom as well not showing much of late. Could be us and Fulham or us and Brom as long as its us. A little winning run and it all turns on its head. that's why we have to start winning.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:22:43
I do think we can turn this around but a couple of new faces, one being a decent striker would make a world of difference.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 20:47:58
Top 2 but only if we invest in a quality striker, if not and just bamford, won’t score enough and playoff position.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 22:14:04
With quality signings including a striker possible top 2

. but could still bottle it even then it finish 3rd or 4th

No striker signing then 7th.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 22:28:01
What kind of fan bets against his own team? £50? You are having a laugh mate. wouldn't bother having a wager with you mate as youd probably pay in installments!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 09:02:04
You would think with the implications of FFP crippling Leeds' ability to sing a proven PL striker or pay decent money to get someone in, that more emphasis would be put on bringing through/ developing players?

Gray came through for Burnley (i think) Adams through at Birmingham, Bowen's come through at Hull, we have a great academy! If we can't sign em why aren't we developing them! So frustrating.

Let's see what today brings.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 09:50:03
Gray joined Burnley from Brentford and probably joined Brentford from another club. Bowen started at Hereford. You raise a fair point but the examples would suggest that perhaps value and quality can be found in the lower leagues.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 10:12:16
Philips came through at leeds, Clarke came through at leeds, Milner cane through at leeds, kewel came through at leeds, rose came through at leeds, smith came through at leeds, what’s your point.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 10:26:18
You’re right. We are light on strikers coming thro from the academy!

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 11:35:52
I think Che Adams came from Sheff Utd.

Ffp is Radz lie a smoke screen we sell 30 million pounds worth of players in the summer and get a couple of loans in . come on guys smell the coffee.

23 Jan 2020 13:58:27
I smell the coffee, half of that 30 mill will go on Costa.

£15 million for a Costa Coffee? . I need to lay off the caffeine.

At the end of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 17:13:31
Kumwanda, Haugland, Edmo, KunT, Would give any of these the odd game and all strikers.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:25:04
Costa's cost will be amortised over 4 years.

The books show that 80% of our revenue goes on wages so if that has increased this year it can easily swallow up £30mill (which will also be amortised btw - we don't get it all at once)

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 21:56:59
Would be better to ask this question on 1st Feb after the transfer window.

IF and it's a big if Leeds do actually sign a quality striker ( and a couple of others ) possible top 2 but could still bottle it to finish 3rd or 4th

Without signings 7th.

Georgie, every game I have a Korn album queued up ready to go for when we dominate a game, miss a hatful of chances and drop points to a scrappy set piece goal or a refereeing mistake. My neighbors think an angry teenager move in here at Christmas.
