Apparently Cody has double downed on his recent exit from us. He's reportedly cancelled or unfollowed many LUFC players as well as the official account of LUFC on social media. Some breakthrough season Baz for the lovechild? More like break-up. Think that makes us at least equal on the getting things wrong stakes.

Given MB’s comments, he has no future at Leeds, and for me, he can do one. Go rot in the championship with some run of the mill gaffer, and waste your potential. Misguided or arrogant? Dunno. But he can do one.

George : Drameh can still fulfil my prediction that he will have .
a successful EPL career. That looks perhaps unlikely now to be with LUFC certainly if MB doesn't leave LUFC end of season.

VO spent transfer fee of £1 million plus of LUFC money on Cody so hopefully that will be recouped if Cody were to move on ; so there was no need by Bielsa for the unBielsa like digs at Drameh in his press conference yesterday because that probably could hinder recouping all or more of the £1 million transfer fee expenditure

Cody wants to play first team football, more than fair enough, most footballers naturally aspire to do so, yet I wouldn't have chosen to do so under Steve Morrison and Cardiff, but it seems evident to Cody that square pegs in round holes Bielsa would rather play midfielders Dallas and Shackleton at RB than him.

Bielsa is definitely no Oleary/ Eddie Gray in giving our young players a sustained chance to shine; unless he has no other choice of player he won't play these young players for more than half a game, or a game at a time.

and Brighty I certainly wouldn't assign all blame to Cody; notorious El Loco with his favourites has form in unfairly dealing with some other players including LUFC legends.

Several outlets reporting Leeds have interest in signing Seko Fofana from RC Lens.

Not seen him play myself but Robin Bairner, who reports about Ligue 1 for Goal, had this to say about him.

"If Lens sell Seko Fofana to Bunrley (or anyone else) for €16.5m (£14m) , they're off their heads.

Fofana has been Ligue 1's best midfielder for the last year. "

Apparently £14m bid from Burnley already rejected, so price could prove to be a hurdle.

Got a feeling we’ve been out priced already. 😔.

He's the one player of all those linked so far that would tick all the boxes throughout the spine of the team. Can play as an 8, a 10 or a 4/ 6. Some of the highest performance stats in Ligue 1. "Rolls Royce" of a player, as they say.

if that's just £14 we might be in with a chance. i think we will go for as high as £17.50.

With them paying the plane fare Alfie 🤣.

Naturally Chris.

I’ve bought a double lilo to pick him up. With his legs, we’ll be here yesterday.

Worth £17 alml day him, ligue 1 bargain like Raph.
