New away strip has been released and available on the Adidas mobile app. Dark Green and blue stripes with gold Adidas stripes. I think its nicer than the home one myself but I think the burgundy one will be even better.

Not a fan, didn’t like it when it came out years ago.

That’s a relief.
Important to look good I reckon.

I really liked the grey 1 last season, I know different makers, but I'm a traditionalist so why isn't our away shirt yellow.

Richie agreed last season was a great, like it a lot, But unfortunately it has to be changed for money to come in, can’t say I like the replacement much.

I with Alf on this 1, burgundy 1 is the pick of the bunch for me, and the navy track jacket, proper nice.

Track jacket is a thing of beauty, only let down by the lack of the Adidas originals badge. I also like the Tshirts with Adidas written in a box on the front and LEEDS UNITED written up the back.

Apparently Lionel Messi wants to work with MB again after he worked with him as a 16yo.

All we need now is a spare 600 million a year or whatever daft figure he is on.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Sep 2020 08:35:25
Well he can but need to drop money see how much he want to work with MB, But that would be the icing on the cake.

Staying at Barcelona now anyway by all accounts.

With all the U23 talent we are chasing (and signing) , what message does that send to some of of the existing, gifted players who did so well for us last season?

Not gifted or talented enough.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Sep 2020 03:39:21
I think it sends a message that we are up ourself and smarter than everyone else.
Which we are not.

I know Rodrigo de Paul would rather have Champions League football this year with Juventus. but worth noting, he’s got no guarantee of being a marquee week in week out player at Juve, they’ve not made an offer for him. and he was left out of the Udinese side last night.

Excellent option if can land him as King Pablo likely to be increasingly a creative second half sub now he’s 35.

Need the goalie thing sorted out as Meslier still needs a year or two and Kiko is still a bit “cupped up”. Wilson Alsomaybe an add. not so worried. icing would be another out and out high percentage striker.

Shame the Nations League is in the middle of last Two weeks preparation.

That's what I thought as well. Stupid to have the start of the Prem so close to the international break. Who cares about the awful Nations League anyway?

Like I say the keeper and defence touch ball more these days so it's hard to see what any new forwards are like but not many teams have 20+ goal scorers in in prem Bielsa likes work rate that's probably why we he didn't go for Ezzi he's cracker him but IAM surely we could have carried him tho any way we move ONNNNN MOT.

To fair to Rodders he did ok it's very hard to get int game as a forward when teams play tippy tappy football now days but he works hard MOT we need 2 or 3 more players tho.

Still intrigued about Bielsa and his contract. Obviously not just about him getting around to sign it!

I think the issue for us with Bielsa is that his age, distance from home and history of short stays with clubs fitted our goal of getting out of the championship but doesn't work as well with survival in the Premiership

How many more years will he stay, contract or no contract, 1 more, 2 at a pinch?

So the key to our medium term survival and growth in the premiership will not be Bielsa but who comes after him and how he builds on the Bielsa legacy. Bielsas job goes from winning promotion to securing premiership status, which in itself is hardly a Bielsa type challenge.

He wants one year radz wants two years.

I think his decision to only sign a one year contract is the way he wants to do it, don’t think it’s money nor anything personal to our club. Maybe his past history of contracts has taught him to do it this and this way only. Who are we to argue with the maestro. I think so long as he is happy here and continues to elevate the club he’ll continue for a while longer.
