I'm just asking would anyone like to get adryan in the summer he looks a good player and only 19 would be a big star in the further

JJBNMC

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes certainly he's a class act

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you think we could get him or a player of his skill?

Hi Survivor

Good to see you posting again

LUFC ALWAYS

MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

They have a few out of contract players in June, in pretty sure Cellino will move for two at least. Ekdal is highly rated too, so is Adryan.

take your pick of their squad hopefully :)

Agree0 Disagree0

I would take ekdal and adryan both if we could them two with ross we will be back to the top in no time

JJBNMC

All
going by car on Tuesday to Brighton
anyone give me an idea of best place for parking?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

In their goal

Agree0 Disagree0

Interesting theory re goal. But you'd have to move it at half time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can park on coombe road near the universities for free then get the number 25 university bus up to falmer where the stadium is

Gosh Nick Harris from the Daily Snail really doesn't like us at all does he?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Simple answer is no!
Have seen other articles from him which make me think that. Patrick Collins in Daily Snail has admitted he doesn't and he is 1 of their chief writers so probably true of most there!

Agree0 Disagree0

Who does outside of our fans. JD

I am not surprised to read all these stories in the press supposedly from Massimo telling all and sundry of his plans.
I think we should realise most of it is for the attention of the FL
Sorry Massimo I love you but don't like rubbish.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I would imagine its more aimed at the fans, the FL would not take any notice, they please themselves and have more than likely already made a decision. Good you are back survivor

Agree0 Disagree0

Survivor
good to see you back.
did you take a break in the canaries last year . and did you speak to a leeds fan there. ?

Agree0 Disagree0

SURVIVOR
You said on rumours page 9 players out and more in, now your saying on banters page Massimo full of lies for FL?

Make your mind up m8

To the Leeds fans who travelled to Yeovil yesterday You are awesome.
As long as I live I will never understand how you all give everything to support Leeds.
No other club I. The world has support like Leeds and you deserve everything.
Let's hope you get it.

Cellino's comments in The Sun on Sunday

"If I was running a Fiat 500 in Italy, now I have the chance to run a Ferrari. I want to forget about Cagliari now. My heart is with Leeds."

Fair play that man!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

MBH do you believe him?

Watching Dundee Utd and taking a look at GMS. He's a bit similar to Sam, in that he gets forward and also tracks back to defend and would be an improvement on Stewart. Has a great turn of pace too. I think we should go in for him in the summer. Imagine Sam and GMS on either flank terrorising defences.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I watched that game for that reason also. He did look good. Atleast his tricks will keep us amused for a bit, he's good to watch alright

I keep reading that Cellino is going to purchase ER as soon as he is given FL approval, this is a monumental move and will provide a massive step towards becoming a self sufficient football club and not only that if this does happen it will prove Cellino's intentions towards Leeds United. let's hope he keeps his word

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hope he does keep his word in purchasing ER.
If you think about it he will recoup his money in NO TIME as the rent is astranomical.

Andy MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Cellino needs to buy ER due to 2 mil rent per year otherwise Leeds will never comply with UEFA financial fair play rules next season

Went yesterday, amazing fans at one point I thought my mate was Casper the ghost he was that white . He will take a jacket next time!
I do think Brian is the man for us, but when we were playing well in October / November we played a 3-5-2 . The fans demanded wingers we have gone to a 4-3-3 . I would of liked him to keep the 3-5-2 we looked stronger in the key areas of the pitch . Defence looked strong with a quality signing at centre back we would of looked great . Midfield looked ok and we passed it through midfield, just felt we needed a holding midfielder so rudi could go box to box . Someone like trotter who went to Bolton or frimpong now at Barnsley . Against better teams we are not strong enough in midfield . And on the counter we look weak . Yesterday at 2-1 I thought we always looked like we could concede and that was playing Yeovil . What's people thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We didn't play 3-5-2, we played 5-3-2 as the right and left wing backs rarely went past the midfield. This left us very narrow in the final third and relied on counter attacking. When teams worked this out we were easy to beat. The current tactic can work but we need better midfielders, the game is won or lost from there

Agree0 Disagree0

It was 451!


Byram---Hoofball--Pearce--Warnock


Kebe-Mowatt-Rudi-Murphy-Stewart


------------McCormack

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree we need a quality central defender but we had one until marius signed an extention to his contract . what happened to him
?

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair to Marius, he came in straight away to the team without having any pre-season training or match fitness. He always set to struggle after a few games, he just needs a bit of a rest. He'll be back in 2-3 games.

Agree0 Disagree0

Quality reply no.2!

Agree0 Disagree0

3.5.2 Worked quite well for a while when we had 2 wing backs and no wide midfield.
Forget the Sheff Weds game where we played 5, 4, 1 with 2 full backs and 2 out of practice/fitness wingers. No team plays with wing backs and wingers/wide midfielders! Full backs and wingers yes!
BM just had a mare that day!
I do think in most games we will need 3 central midfielders so either 3, 5.2 with wide players who can defend or 4, 3, 3 with the wingers supporting main striker. With 3 central midfielders 2 should be looking to create/support attacks at all times and 1 holding. 4, 4, 2 will work against the lower end teams but not the top teams.

Following on from below post
Stuff the conditions. We were run around by wigan and second half couldn't score
A few players were ok
Most were headless chickens
Im not settling for that rubbish
A lot needs improving
And mcd

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Maybe that's the issue you watched the wrong match. I think you will find we played Yeovil Town!! 20 shots on goal from us and certainly not given the run around, ridiculous conditions where neither goalkeeper could kick from their hands against the wind! Good result MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

You were watching a different game to me then, I watched Leeds v Yeovil! What do you mean you are not settling for that rubbish, are you going to support another team? well in that case you are not a Leeds supporter so bye bye then. We were poor in the first half but BMc made a change at half time and we dominated the second half.

Agree0 Disagree0

Run around by Wigan? couldn't score second half? Are you Farnan or Flowers? Silly sausage

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeovil mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think we can take much from the performance yesterday.
Conditions were unplayable at times and I have to say I was happy being 1 down at half time. Knew 2nd half would be better with the wind.
thought Kebe byram and murphy showed some glimses of good link play, but really you can't judge anything from that game. Pitch looked very poor too.
Great 3 points to be fair

Agree0 Disagree0

HaHa! Good response from the 1st reply. Wigan! What a laugh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wigan?
AUSMAN youve gone quiet all of a sudden lmfao

Agree0 Disagree0

Wigan. Yeovil. Wats the diff. Both crap
Yeah. Kebe. Byram pearce and mccormack ( sort of ) played ok
Really worried about lack of organisation. Ok, look maybe conditions were bad but jeez, that team will never get promoted and if it weren't for italian, we would be out of prem for another decade. I would think players would be playing for their futures now, but that game was way worse than I expected. We have better players now than last season but no better football.

Agree0 Disagree0

AUSMAN
Is that your own hair or have ya got a WIGON lol

What's cellino's and his families net worth anyone no? Rather them than fernan

Believable0 Unbelievable0

1.5 billion

Agree0 Disagree0

ED posted it recently. £1.2 billion. JD

Agree0 Disagree0

Reportedly around 1.3 billion

Agree0 Disagree0

Cellinio is worth £ 800 million and his family billions

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Feb 2014 10:05:35
1.3 billion although that will take a hit, if what the papers are saying with regard to the actual state of leeds finances this morning!

Agree0 Disagree0

His family is worth 5.8 billion

Agree0 Disagree0

"1.3 billion although that will take a hit, "

er, 1.3 billion is 1, 300 million pounds?

so if you took 100 million pounds out of that it would more than buy Leeds twice over, along with Elland Road, Thorpe Arch and all the debts we have?

How does that equate to a 'hit'?

Maybe a small dent?

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Feb 2014 08:50:02
1.3 billion that will take a hit! I was joking! It's a play on word with regard what was in the press!
