Emanuele Guilianelli report Daniele Baselli will be next signing for Leeds. CM and can operate on wing. Set piece specialist playing for Atalanta and Italy U21's. Known as "il figlio di Totti" in Italy, in English it simply translates to "the son of Totti". I like the sound of that!

Emanuele Giulianelli never said any of that

Recent speculation about him going to Juve so I doubt this is true :-)

No he didn't

But I don't think Baselli will come to Leeds #lufc

He said he is a good player but doesn't expect him to sign for leeds.

Daniele Baselli is a great player and Juve & PSG were tracking him previously. Would be great signing but the "Rossi" tag seems wide of mark as he's not scored goals

With a name like that should fit straight into our midfield 😆😆

Classy player, if we Adryan with Van the man Bianchi Mowatt Cook and a couple of young ones coming through our midfield starts to look promising. The two year deals do seem to be in line with Massimos plan of Premiership in two years then if not good enough they go, if not happy with new contract they go, no hassle of carrying deadwood into premiership. I don't think we have to have wingers if we have someone like Sterling who can play across the back of the front line, someone with pace and Sloth has it. I think we finally will get rid of last years team, Lovin it MOT

Agard apparently signing for Bristol City, a club on the way up no doubt.
Clearly shows this guy (or his agent) were in it for the pay day.

He should have signed for Fulham, successful club!
He and Ross could kiss the badge together .

Actually it had nothing to do with money, what it had to do with was LUFC pay a coach not a manager, the manager is Cellino, and Agard didn't like that.

Wrong, he's had to accept less at Bristol than he was offered at Leeds, he tried to mug Cellino off by asking for a lot more than he was offered. His greed backfired, Bristol are going nowhere

He also swanned up to his interview late! Who goes to an interview late & then demands loads of pay?

Leeds have surprisingly announced that Bellusci's deal has been made permanent. The reason for this would surely only be to free up another space for a loan player in the matchday squad as you're only allowed to have 4 in the 18. I'm wondering if this means the Adryan deal is getting very close?
Believable34
Unbelievable1
I think so mate, let's hope .
Perhaps M C has seen the error of his ways and keeping shut until the dotted line has been signed .
The player sounds and looks a real handful .

Could also mean there lininghhim up as Captain and if there not they should be
Agree1

I think teams are allowed 5 loanee's so Adryan and maybe powell or di gennaro we need midfielders so Austin, Murphy and tonge will all have to fight for their place instead and put in much more than sub-standard performances MOT
Agree0

New captain?
Agree1
Disagree0
Yes defo on the cards now but still no wide players the last team to get promotion with the diamond formation was Norwich and they had midfielders who could go past a player Murphey no not his game Tonge not his game, with the strikers we now have it's got to be 4 3 3. Where would Adryan play in a 4 3 3?

Damn, you all beat me to it!
I was going to say - next Captain, just after the Italian coach takes over

Out of the blue. bellusci has signed?! Fantastic work mc

Yeah I really like what I have seen, he tackles and holds the ball .
Agree1

Also according to reports has settled in well and taking control in training future whites captain!
Agree0

Like what you've seen? Didn't relies he had played yet as his international clearance hadn't come through.
Agree1
Disagree2
Yes I like what I have seen!
On another site there is footage of him, tackling and winning the ball then taking it forward and passing .
Not one bit .but many!
It also looks like he reads the game as he intercepts played balls .
Ok I have not seen him play for Leeds as yet but he looks really solid .
Agree0
Disagree0
The other comments coming out in rumours is that he has impressed in training and is taking charge of defence .
Which I for one hope is true, we need a strong character in defence who gets it sorted on -field, especially for set plays which seems to be are down fall .
Hope this clarifies my comments Martyn .

He has got to play instead of Pearce who is terrible! He was made captain and gets in because he is the best of a bad bunch, the man is the slowest footballer I have ever seen! He couldn't pass water and is petrified when in possession, Why everybody loves him is because he wears is heart on his sleeve and throws is body about to tackle, block etc and he's not to bad in the air, except in the opposing area when he seems to miss sitters every week! He does give 100% every game Tbf, on Tuesday the challenge for there 2nd goal was a penalty all day long with him diving in. Cooper and bellesci all day for me then give Wooton away to anyone who is silly enough to take him, MOT

Dogwise I once saw a trailer for a film called wild Wild West and it looked great but when I went to see the full film it was pants!, my point is we know nothing about him and time will tell. I hope he's fantastic as we could realy do with a solid defender he's left footed too so wonder who will be dropped now. Cooper or Pearce? Any thoughts?
Agree0
Disagree0
Totally agree Robbie .
Martyn all these foreign players are new to me, so if there's any footage I watch it, and yes you may see only the highlights of anyone .
I do not even claim to be a football expert, but we (Leeds) seem to concede to easy, so I hope this guy is the answer .
From what little I have seen of Cook why is he not being given more game time .

Leeds being linked with Marco Faraoni, right back for Udinese who was on loan at Watford last year.
Is this the end of Sam Byram? We don't need 3 right backs.
Believable24
Unbelievable10
I would say so mate. As much as love seeing home grown talent in the team I feel sam is very overrated, don't get me wrong he's a good player but if £8 million comes in for him then it's a no brainer. My prediction is out of all our home grown kids Mr Coook will be the one to pull on a full England shirt first.

I suspect Sam has already gone, in his head. Let's see what next week brings

Marco Faraoni is a left-back

Sorry checked and it appears he according to the site you may have used he is a centre back or right-back. Though if Bryam moved to right-side midfield and Berardi continues with Kung Fu tackles the club may need another right-back
Agree0

Defo need another left back. Warnock is a liability albeit he gets stuck in. Taylor is inexperienced at this level so he'd be a top signing imo.
Agree1

I think Byram has been awful so far this season the only player worst Pearce .
Not a captain in my book, Warnock was excellent against Middlesbrough but is slow and can get caught .
Agree0

He is versatile can play RB, LB, RM good option to have
