None of us know in any way how this season will pan out, ultimately they are 3 possible scenarios, top 2, playoffs or also rans. The most important things is we are building. Rads has been in charge not much more than a year, resulting in the club being in much better shape. We have cleared out all the dead wood and the current manager and coaches have the team and the under performing players playing much better. A few astute signings in Jan and again ( if needed! ) in the summer window and we have to be there or there about.

With Biesla now not having to spend his time watching Leeds United videos does anyone else here believe he may be turning his attention to watching videos of Championship/ Lower Premiership standard players with view to additions to the squad in January?

To me he comes across as a thoughtful and methodical individual. Hence the reason he didn't want to recruit in the summer. At that time he would have had no idea of the exact demands of this league and what individuals may dovetail. Now, with a bit of experience, he could be assessing our weaknesses and other players strengths

Would love to see Leeds go all out to hunt down a specific individual and splash the cash.
(I will always believe Bamford was bought because he played in a certain area of the pitch, was not overly wanted by his club, and was a reasonable price)
I can't remember us chasing after a target in many a year (Rio Ferdinand? ) . Most of our buys are just available individuals.

I don’t think the guy has much time off

He’ll be watching game after game

Ours
U23s
Opponents
Anything victor sends him

Guy is a total pro

Believe in Bielsa.

He def doesn’t seem to leave anything to chance.
Very smart man and so far is doing well.
I am impressed in general with how the team is playing and am hoping that the players keep learning his ways and improving.
I think he has the managerial ability to win the league, just not sure he has quite enough quality players.
But although they are frustrating to watch at times the defence is solid and they do give you the impression that at any given moment they can score.
They excite me with the way they play which is more than Christ or monks teams ever did.

I know following leeds is a religion Aus but who next a pope or a nun.

05 Oct 2018 18:10:21
Here's the plan! Simple! If we just win the rest of our games we win the league!
It's in our own hands, how difficult can that be? 😜.

05 Oct 2018 18:56:58
Blimey, why didn’t anyone else think of that 😜. Simples. Ever thought of being a footie coach?

05 Oct 2018 13:30:11
Southampton rumoured to be interested in Roofe. The way we are playing I can see a few of ours attracting unwanted interest. Unwanted by us on the terraces at least.

05 Oct 2018 16:28:28
all relative mate be happy to see anyone go for the right price as I think Rads will reinvest and MB and orta are getting in good players. question is what is a decent price for roofe, i'd take anything over 12 to be honest, that said I like roofe so happy if he stays.

05 Oct 2018 17:45:08
With you on that Bermo. Anything 12ish would be good business, but I'm not too keen on unbalancing the squad mid season, if we are still there or there abouts. Would take any new player months to get up to Bielsaball speed.

05 Oct 2018 21:35:49
If wood is £15m
Roofe is £25m

Or they can look elsewhere

KP £35m obviously 😜.

06 Oct 2018 02:41:51
I wouldn’t be accepting anything under £20 mill for roofe and £25 mill for KP.
I think the caliber of some of the teams looking will get us a better price. Not only cheapskate Burnley but tot arse south too apparently.

06 Oct 2018 09:49:06
im more conservative 5mill kp and 12 roofe, roofe has to go all season like wood to really command a fee I feel,

04 Oct 2018 22:47:30
seen england sqaud no KP so my bum is safe from the tatt for now. also sanchez first player born this century to play for england. god I feel old.

05 Oct 2018 05:23:56
Travesty of justice no KP.
Sack the manager.
I don’t think your bum is safe for long though bermo.

{Ed001's Note - is that a threat or a promise regarding Berm's backside? Sounds sinister...}

05 Oct 2018 08:10:14
I always worry for the safty of my harris Aus. in southgate my bum trusts.

05 Oct 2018 09:41:58
You planning a trip to East London Aus?

05 Oct 2018 07:38:21
Ed I agree, good job Auz is on the other side of the world, or is he!

05 Oct 2018 10:13:21
Speedyg already tatted up Berm's berm while in his cellar.

05 Oct 2018 07:13:27
Funny ed. I was referring to the KP tatt or maybe a KP branding iron would be more suitable.

05 Oct 2018 10:23:28
Think there’s enough room on berms huge rear for all of us. The Leeds team and his mate kp!

05 Oct 2018 11:42:58
speedys tackle did impress me far more than KP's but both have great ball control

there is room on my rear for kp's branding iron bt he has got to catch me first and I don't fancy his chances

in all honesty did anyone really think he would make the england team. I know I am harsh on the lad and he is a great passer but even his biggest fan must think he is a million miles away from prem and england team surely?

I am basied but think the prem and england talk is just fake news or lazy jurnalisim.

05 Oct 2018 13:16:11
I think Biesla is moulding him into a particular sort of midfielder and if he carries on learning and improving then yes. I can see him in an England shirt within a year.

05 Oct 2018 16:32:17
can't teach mobility, pace, accelration or make someone strong in tackle. for his strenhts they have really come on. My question would be this. Shevley don't get in the england team due to lack of mobility and pace. now for me shelvey is a better passer than KP and also faster, fitter and more mobile and plays at a better level so I can't see KP ever making the team

questions on Shevleys attitude where as for me none on KPs but still think him getting in england will never happen you can not coach speed.

05 Oct 2018 17:43:19
I think KP has more of a chance of getting his first cap before Shelvey gets his next. I'd also put KP in front of Henderson.

05 Oct 2018 17:57:19
If Eric dier can play for England so can the marvellous KP.

05 Oct 2018 19:35:07
Actually, you can teach mobility, pace and acceleration, hence the US Universities having well funded athletics programmes

They can even teach "strong in tackle" but that is as much muscle memory and brain reprogramming to a "can do" state

. but I still agree with Berm that the lad isn't at England standard. He is like a poor man's Henderson.

05 Oct 2018 21:37:11
Henderson makes decent relish

He’s no Milner though.

06 Oct 2018 09:52:02
Axe you can focus on that and make a slight difference but can't see Phillips improving in these areas enough. I can't beleive someone on here said better than henderson and Ed didn't jump on them. i'm sorry i know i am harsh on KP but henderson. next bamford (who I like) will be better than kane and harrision stirling.
