Leeds United have as many players in the latest Spanish squad as Barcelona. 😳😉😃.

Thought Barcelona have 3, unless of course your counting the lad from Levante who were linked with today, Campana is it.

Silvestri called up to Italian squad.

Delighted for him! Great guy, great attitude, and was always going to develop.

Very good shot stopper and I was always a big fan not greatly suited to championship football but then most modern keepers ain’t on his day he was a match winner.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2020 09:21:44
Couldn’t catch a cross, command his box and was nailed to his line. Faked an injury to be part of the Charlton six. Must have improved but he was not a good keeper for us.

Agree with Notts on this one. Can never forget him and his cohorts and their act at Charlton.

Good luck to him, but he is no Zoff, or Buffon.

As Bermo said, he didn't command his area, he didn't catch, and his passing ability from foot was non-existent. Not a Bielsa keeper.

Had one particularly good game against Middlesbrough if i recall and was an awful lot better than the guy they brought in to replace him (Wiedwald) . Was never that enamoured with the keepers we had post Schmeichel til Meslier. Lonergan first spell and Rob Green were decent but Kenny, Silvestri, Higgs, Turnbull, Ashdown, Rachubka, Wiedwald, Lonergan 2, were horrible tbh. Rachubka cost us a play-off spot in Grayson's first season. Turnbull got injured pretty much straight away and never once played I think.

With this Charlton sox. wasn’t beradi one of them? Beradi was quality for the club in his giving everything for the club but funny how some are forgiven and some are not.

03 Oct 2020 16:59:00
I was bang on rob greens case at first he was awful but by the end he was class week in week out. One game away against fulham he was a superman as good as display as I ever seen. Higgs was decent but made of glass the rest not up to much but I always felt Silvestri would do well aboard or in prem same with Kiko great shot stopper but rest of game suspect.

Little to No gate receipts this season for European clubs will mean it will definitely be a BUYERS market in the January 2021 transfer window

My TWO PREDICTIONS I strongly feel will happen in January 2021 transfer window.

1) Cash strapped Udinese sell Rodrigo De Paul ( possibly to Leeds but more likely to another club) for a maximum of £20 to £22 million half what they want now.

And

2) Michael Cuisance recovers 100% completely physically with no longer any medical condition and Leeds United sign him on a permanent transfer from Bayern Munich in the January transfer window for £15 to £18 million.


You heard it here first folks 😉.

Anybody else think 25m for James is steep, I'd offer 18 and move on.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

10 tops.

Manutd bought him for £15m

Has the lad do e anything to show he is worth anymore than that figure?

From the little I have seen of him (I generally forego Manutd televised matches unless I already know they've lost or are playing a team I believe will beat them) he looks like he is still playing at the level he achieved in his final 4 months of the Championship season. Very fast but no end product

In my opinion I believe Leeds would have signed him for the £15m last summer if the lure of PL Manutd had not been stronger. And in so doing we may not have bought Costa. To that end I still think he is worth £15m, until such time that Bielsa coaches him to a higher standard player

£15m, my final offer.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 17:41:13
£15m and a signed book off MB.

I’d offer a packet of quavers, and a quarter of apple cubes. no more. screw Man U!

02 Oct 2020 18:24:58
Come on Bright don't be silly. I would keep the Quavers and throw in some string and a marble.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 18:37:57
Red Devils will want their profit but he's not yet worth £20m+ so the optimal opening bid would be £16m with a final take it or leave it offer of £19m.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 18:52:19
Still of the opinion Manutd should just cut their losses on James

As it is we would have to fork out a big salary on a lad who hasn't done anything yet

Btw just saw Brewster has gone for £23.5m, to Sheffield U.
Watch a few of Swansea's games last year (checking out the competition) and I thought he looked reasonable at the Championship level. But I didn't think he was at the top level of that league. I thought Ayew was a better player than him in that team.

Makes £27m for Rodrigo look a very good deal now.

DJ has pace but as yet no real. end product; but if anyone. can improve him Bielsa can
£20 million max.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 22:34:21
The deal on Rodrigo, and all of the other signings, has been immense! It’s been a great window in my eyes!

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 13:09:09
Interesting last few days of window, ends Monday but can still go for Uk based players after Monday.
Will they go all in for de Paul now and pay asking price or look elsewhere, feel we really need that MF.
Still touting wingers and can't understand why we not after Benrahma, better option than damarie gray.
Nothing much recently on capt kerk, he has good stats for goals from wing and apparently very fast.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2020 14:01:03
De Paul. no chance
Radz quoted today in a radio interview stating he thinks that there won't be ant club signing De Paul this window

If they do buy a CM or CAM or winger and they are certainly needed I hope they can do so without this " buy back clause ' bs which sucks.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 15:36:52
It's a bit more like our normal transfer windows now with us trying to sign players with very little time left. Once again we are linked with every man and his dog. We probably going to get stung by having to pay top dollar as the selling teams know we are desparate. Cantwell and or James would be good buys, but not impressed with Gray from Leicester.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 15:56:20
Think we will look at Cantwell and benhrama after Mon deadline if no foreign players arrive
Nandez I think is MB 1st choice
Wat happened to Rafinha?

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 16:28:49
In recent years the end of the transfer window has been of more advantage to the buying clubs than the selling clubs

Transfer fees that were somewhat higher during the early part of the window tend to come down as you get near the final day. I was told that this is due to selling clubs needing the input of cash to last them thro to the next transfer window.

Any player that was desperately wanted would have been snapped up early in the window at full cost. Later the negotiating can really take place. Watch Levy go near the end of the window.

Confident we will get two more, but even if we don’t, in my view, this has Still been the best window We’ve had for many, many years!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 18:27:30
you've made some decent signings i think and in vital areas. Would still like to see a good midfielder come in but if we don't get any more I would be happy enough and see where we need to strengthen in Jan.

Feeling very excited about the Citeh game, these are the fixtures to savour. Playing Citeh at any time would be a test but they’re going to be really up for this after the Leicester thrashing.

Honestly, irrespective of the result we can only improve by playing teams of this level, i’d happily take a draw now but with Bam Bam in such form I wouldn’t bet against us to nick a win, either way just wow!

Beats playing Scunny away that’s for sure come on Bam Bam.

Not sure we will get any points from this one but it will be one helluva game.
Not going to be popular but I reckon 2-5 tbh.

Excited by Citeh game. but even with injuries, i’d see this as even tougher than the game against Liverpool.

They will be smarting after their thumping last week.

And Liverpool came to play their game and let their quality win it. Guardiola famously is a follower of Bielsa and will be doing Bielsa style thinking on strategy and tactics specific to trying to beat us.

Elland Road but without the supporters. this will be tough.

I’ll take any result better than a two goal against difference as positive progress.

Am hoping we can do better. capitalize on their system being broken. but deBreuyne and sterling are formidable.

Fingers crossed.

02 Oct 2020 18:13:32
It will be one of the best games the PL has seen for many, many years. I can’t bloody wait for it!

fluk it - bring em on. Fearless Leeds, let's go for the throat.

02 Oct 2020 18:46:09
To get anything from the game will need a big performance from KP. Toronto is right. KDB and Sterling are formidable. Unfortunately, I can see Meslier being a busy man in this fixture. No disgrace losing to Citeh. I see a 2-4 defeat.

Best of luck to cuisance. we’ll just move on.

Maybe Udinese will take 27.5.

Maybe we can get ox for free from Liverpool. And can swing a deal for Sessegnon.

Maybe, we can repeat the shock we gave Liverpool when playing Citeh this weekend

Maybe am getting tired of speculation . time to lock down and just play football.
