I know this has been covered before but just watched Take us home on my own, wife in bed,60 years old and tears streaming down my face! Such emotion! Bits I had seen before but all put together, too much for the old boy to take!

30 Sep 2020 07:22:20
Nothing wrong with that, I was the same! Emotional stuff, means a lot!

30 Sep 2020 09:44:14
Makes you so proud too be a white. I bet no one has watched it without a wee cry or tear. Lol. 😆⚽️💙💛.

30 Sep 2020 10:29:13
Me too, like a baby i was. I think we are so passionate and emotionally involved with our club it's like a religion that you would do anything for.

29 Sep 2020 20:59:14
Anyone else think it’s a huge blessing in disguise to be out of the EFL Cup? Personally be happy to let the youngsters have the FA cup games for this season.

Anything to reserve our first team energies for the Premiership is fine with me.

30 Sep 2020 06:41:47
Staying in the Prem has to be our priority. Hopefully the second string will take us far in the FA Cup though.

I'm hoping we get Cuisance. Not a better player than De Paul but better for us. We're playing quite well with a misfiring number 10. What will we do when we get the right one? We'd be quite unpleasant to play against my guess with the right number 10 learning from Bielsa, young, energetic and hungry for success. I think De Paul would interfere with the success of other players in the team. His heat map monumentally impressive but could be too many cooks (not Lewis) if he joins. Cuisance is the right move in George opinion. Then get James or Kent and we will surely challenge top 4.

29 Sep 2020 19:39:04
Interesting point of view George, not sure I agree but has he thinking at least.
How you know DePaul is a better player than the French lad I don’t know.

29 Sep 2020 21:55:21
Corky I can't know for certain but my guess is that De Paul more complete player given his extra years, international appearances and higher valuation. However, that's not necessarily what we need. From the sound of it, he might over dominate and unbalance the play. I think this Cuisance could be the perfect Pablo replacement.

30 Sep 2020 12:06:14
Fair play George. Interesting perspective, as Corky says, and you clarified the point very well, too.

29 Sep 2020 17:22:25
Cuisance signed and Sessegnon on loan, please:

DePaul as a last ditch £27.5M take it or leave it Udinese or enjoy being being stuck with two salaries when you could hardly afford one.

I don’t want Kent, he’s not sounded keen on Leeds or fighting for his spot and he’s one who has basically only played division 1 football with a kilt on.

Other reservations. James does not come with an option to buy on the loan. Sessegnon either. this makes us paying for the privilege of turning around their careers to help Mourinho and The team that shall not be named. That doesn’t feel right.

Cantwell swells the squad. but not an upgrade on Klich, Pablo or even Dallas let alone holding options on being played out wide.

Think Tyler and Adam F’s time in Leeds shirts are shortening.

? Casillas might have been made captain versus Hull after hearing he’d be leaving so as a gracious act by the players and Bielsa?

The challenge with the chops and changes is keeping the squad interpersonal dynamic and team spirit while integrating the new signings.

Bielsa can do it. In him we trust.

29 Sep 2020 18:44:19
I agree with regard to James. I don't like the idea of strengthening a player to hand back to Man U so would rather go for someone with a loan to buy or who wants to play for Leeds Utd.

29 Sep 2020 19:21:31
Sessignon loan with a option to buy
Please.

29 Sep 2020 16:59:22
This Cuisance bloke better COME and be sensationally GOOD!
Bayern Munich owe us big time from 1975!

29 Sep 2020 17:57:59
DocN Don't get me started on 1975. They could give us all their players on frees, put the club into voluntary liquidation and confess to criminal conspiracy but it still wouldn't suffice.

29 Sep 2020 18:48:00
So are you saying you don't like them then George?

29 Sep 2020 19:21:37
Correct. If there was ever a stonewall penalty you'd teach referees and incorporate into VAR algorithms, it'd be Beckenbauer on Clarke. That was just one of the paid for, unfair decisions. Cheats do never prosper. There needs to be a sports hell. I'd run the football one. I'd savour the 1975 culprits. No mercy, just more heat. Clear enough now, Alf?

29 Sep 2020 22:36:05
A night which summed up LUFC'S regular misfortune in those days. Gut wrenching.

30 Sep 2020 11:24:30
Bayern

Never forget
Never forgive

Our legends were cheated of their rightful place in history.

29 Sep 2020 11:08:28
Imagine if we actually got
de Paul
Cruisance
Cantwell
Dan James
I think realistically 2 out those 4 could join.

29 Sep 2020 11:46:00
Unfortunately FA rules specifically forbid 15 players on the pitch but otherwise, it looks good to me.

29 Sep 2020 13:19:27
Think it will be cruisance and Kent. Prob get them both for about $36mill.
I’d like de Paul but not at too high a price.

29 Sep 2020 15:55:26
Word around the camp fire Victor is at ER with a new recruit, 🤞🤞🤞🤞.

29 Sep 2020 16:29:15
I think it’s Cruisance.
