Paul Madely. One of the most versatile players ever. Could play anywhere, and play well. Jimmy Armfield gave him a blank peice of paper for a new contract, and was told by Paul to put whatever he wanted, because Paul just wanted to play for Leeds United. ❤️.

Given the speed of Leeds - next year sometime (maybe)

I think they're going to unveil it on this season's first proper signing. So it'll be the end of January! 😂😂😂.

23 Jul 2018 21:02:31
Maybe when they find a player who deserves to wear it.

Reliant on the new Badge I presume Martyn and I think Kinnear is trying to buy a new owl of eBay as comms have been down a good while now!

Agree0 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 22:53:21
So apart from Orta, Kinnear, the badge, the kit, transfers and their communication, what else is available for them to screw up?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 18:40:15
I have no inside knowledge, no sources, no nothing. However, I feel we're going to get two big signings this week, like big signings. They will also be wearing our amazing new red and white home kit😂.

Has Emma signed a new deal?

I don't normally push any particular name that we have been linked with but as Arsenal is my second team and having watched him a few times I must say; go for Reine-Adelaide. He has first class touch, pace and can play in a number of positions. He looks to be surplus at Arsenal so Marcelo just give them a call.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

23 Jul 2018 21:17:42
My first thought mate, was "second team? What? ". But then I thought for a second, and one of my Grandads was a huge Sunderland fan, and I went to see them in the milk cup final in somat like 83 I guess, without checking, and yep, I have a second team too, for family reasons. Anyone else wanna own up to a soft spot?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 21:34:14
I have a soft spot just beneath one of my elbows, does that count?

23 Jul 2018 21:35:11
Are there not any alternative words we can use. ?

Victor Orta, genius or flop?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

23 Jul 2018 19:00:20
Depends how you look at it I guess, his budget will come
From radz, if he’s instructing him to find top players and get them to accept 20k a wk then it’s not going to happen in the modern game.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 20:32:24
I think I know the answer already but can I let you know in a couple of weeks?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 21:09:21
I say genius. Getting paid to acquire carp players can't be easy to attract employers and they continue to employ him gainfully.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 21:30:53
Genius. Sold a vision that a strong U23s will mean that the club don't have to buy players in the future and therefore he can't be proved right or wrong for at least 2 more years. Unfortunately Radz misunderstood and thinks it starts this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 18:13:31
An apology from Leeds about their shoddy streaming of pre season games.
Typically they blame someone else for the shambles. I'm your customer so sort it out and stop passing the buck!

If only we had a owner with his own sports media company, that might be the answer.

I wish he signed new quality players at the rate he signs TV deals, we would be promotion material!

Forget incoming transfers, forget urgent need for central defender, target man and winger, anyone fancy a round of golf? 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

23 Jul 2018 18:06:15
Good idea, my golf is far better than our recruitment drive although that’s not saying much! I’ve always been good on the 19th, perhaps we’ll see our scouting team there. I sometimes think they wear beer goggles when picking players to sign.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 21:03:29
Not at the moment pal.

23 Jul 2018 11:09:55
I think it shows how much we missed Ayling last season. seems he is clearly our most consistent solid player . which is concerning . I'll be honest right now I'd probably only wanna keep BPF janson Ayling viera roofe and Roberts from current squad plus the 2 new boys we got on loan . I wouldn't miss them if any one else in squad left.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

23 Jul 2018 11:35:47
Including Forshaw whom you excluded from your retention list?

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 11:46:22
Lol. Wats Roberts done to deserve being kept? He maybe good but has not proved his worth. I’d also keep Berardi Saiz and Forshaw.

Agree2 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 12:14:30
Yes I forgot foreshaw apologies . Roberts has t done anything no but he has been injured all season so I can’t base it on his last season so he at least deserves a chance.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 13:13:52
Ayling had a few stinkers last season.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 17:12:19
I remember everyone fearing him to bits wex.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 21:24:17
Bloody hell! I agree again Martyn! Many did tear in to him, but we fell apart without him. The bloke has football ability oozing, and might make a great captain, outside of those already mentioned. He looks to be enjoying playing again, which makes a big difference.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jul 2018 10:08:58
Looks like one of Cellino's old targets will be joining the dog botherers for 10m this week. Anthony Limbo. That could've been our 7m profit had Massimo reached further into his pocket.

Again, not a great result against a lower league side. Before u say it, I know it's just a pre season game and trying out different players etc but worries me.
Lack of transfers also a big concern, my only comfort is that MB has loan players lined up from city and spurs ( Foden, Foyth etc) ? But I would have thought they'd be over and getting time with the team.
I like he getting rid of some players but unsure why Coyle and O'connor went. If no further players brought in, then we a mid to lower half table team but I feel it will only take another 3-4 decent ones to make us playoff / promotion contenders?
1 big CB, a flying winger, a pacey forward and maybe a big target man?
Got to keep the faith but less than 2 weeks to go, sure it will all happen next week?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

23 Jul 2018 07:47:34
How do we know he has loan players lined up from spurs and Man City? . just rumours at the moment.

Agree1 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 09:13:02
I think at the moment we are relegation contenders. Need 3-4 signings to aspire to mid table mediocrity.

Agree3 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 10:24:53
Would not say relegation Speedy but def lower half of table. Recruitment really worries me. We have signed another goalie, why. We have BPF, Blacman, Miazek, and Huffer who i think is one of the most talented young ones i have seen for ages. Why are scouting more goalies when we need a striker and defender. I have to think that its all about future profits and not about what's best for the squad. The 5 mill from Wood sale looks to have gone to pay off ER purchase. The two share sales prob gone to Aser investors and season tickets to pay Bielsa salary. I honestly do not expect us to spend more than 4 mill if that this window. All the talk of signing Vydra and Abel etc was just that, talk. Hope i get proved wrong but can't see it with only two weeks left. Sure we will get even more young ones who have potential but we need at least three with experience through the door, unlikely.

Agree1 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 11:49:32
It’s a tough league bige. Think you bring optimistic with league position!
I’m really not sure what’s going on with transfers. What i am sure of is that we are looking like complete amateurs that have most def not planned this pre season out at all.

Agree1 Disagree1

23 Jul 2018 13:29:04
Agree with speedy, this league is getting tougher season on season and we aren’t keeping pace with it. This may change yet as transfer window not closed yet. Could be a scrap to avoid relegation.
Bringing in players on loan contracts doesn’t work and isn’t the way forward for us. I find it difficult to believe that players don’t want to come to Leeds United as we are the biggest club in our league, in the UK, and in the world (yes bias with some eggageration) !
The silence from the club is unreal, zilch communication with fans.
If we get hammered by Stoke and Derby I think Radz, Orta, and Kinnear should have an escape plan to get out of ER at final whistle.
Think Derby, Florist, and Stoke will get promoted. Just IMO, not saying I’m right with any of above.
LUFC.
