Leeds United want Manor Solomon from Tottenham, only a loan, but he’s some player, suffered with injuries but apparently all good now, he reminds me of Aaron Lennon at his height, I will happily cover fuel costs if we can sign him.
1.) 22 Aug 2024 12:46:02
He would be a class addition, I rate him highly, exactly what we need.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 14:51:34
Agreed ????.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 16:52:27
Seems injury prone. Apparently he's made some questionable comments on Instagram as well (I don't have social media anymore so wouldn't know) so putting teams off him.
16 Aug 2024 14:32:24
Dill, do you know anything about this young Brazilian Winger Chelsea are trying to ship out due to their ridiculous number of players?
Angelo Gabriel £13million pound signing but never played a game - The 19-year-old has been on the fringes during pre-season and is widely expected to leave after the Blues signed Pedro Neto from Wolves.
There are also issues with Fifa limits allowing just six players to move on loan overseas from a single club.
Chelsea would also prefer to sell Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, Bashir Humphreys, David Datro Fofana and Kepa Arrizabalaga rather than loan them out this summer
There must be some serious bargains, loans amongst this immense squad compiled with literally billions of pounds?
1.) 16 Aug 2024 15:12:24
With £100 million can't we just buy Halaand? He's a Leeds fan after all.
2.) 16 Aug 2024 15:22:33
No mate, unfortunately not.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 16:43:50
Chalobah, Gyabi MK2
Broja! What way was he at St Mary's?
Could he work at Leeds?
4.) 16 Aug 2024 19:59:56
Ipswich trying to loan Broja according to SSN, Chris.
23 Jul 2024 09:47:01
Cody Drama! scheduled for his Hull medical today, lad has talent but has similar attitude to Spence. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him get a bigger move further down the line but will need to address his poor attitude first.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 11:36:57
Let the Baz posts flow…….
2.) 23 Jul 2024 15:01:39
1 Shame
2.Badly mistreated by LUFC
3.Davis, Dean, Framed. Cresswell. the list is endless
4.How much is fee as Leeds offered him a contract. so due compensation fee.
3.) 23 Jul 2024 15:03:33
Lovechild no more.
4.) 23 Jul 2024 15:14:05
Think Baz has become ambidextrous. Been vacant a few times over last couple days.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 17:44:50
In his statement on BBC, Drameh emphasizes that Hull made him feel wanted, they welcomed him and want him there. He also says he likes the owner and club management at Hull because they made him feel wanted.
There's no secret that cresswell and farke didn't see eye to eye and that's why he left.
Farke is a divisive manager, isn't he?
6.) 23 Jul 2024 18:21:30
He evidently sure if MOT.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 20:37:00
Don’t think Farke can be held accountable for Drameh tho.
8.) 24 Jul 2024 17:32:59
Baz you've named four players there who all had mitigating reasons as to why they didn't make it to our first team.
One who couldn't get into our first team and had to drop down a league to get game time before finally playing well. He wasn't getting into our first team so he didn't want to re-sign with us and we sold him as a result before losing him for nowt the summer after. That's football, it happens.
Another one who dropped down leagues to get game time as was nowhere near the firsts. Two leagues in this case. That's because we decided to pick and Englang/ Spain youth international as the better CF to integrate to the first team. Who now looks likely to be our starting CF.
One who's had two average to meh loan seasons in the last 2 years and is now leaving. Boo hoo.
And the last one who wasn't good enough to get into our first team. That after a season on loan where he also wasn't good enough to be a guaranteed starter at a lower quality team in the same league.
FACTS.
9.) 24 Jul 2024 17:38:06
Tbf Drameh did decent at Luton. I forgot about that loan, but Cardiff and Brum were average and meh.
10.) 26 Jul 2024 14:05:12
Err pretty sure that Drameh was voted Cardiffs plsyer of the year Dill? As well as Lutons player of season
So 'meh '? . think again buddy. ?.
11.) 26 Jul 2024 14:09:37
And Davis now playing in EPL, Cresswell Ligue 1 . both leagues higher than Champo Leeds
Dean now playing in equivalent league
Point was loan them out ok . bit don't sell them virtually give them away
Sorry Dill but think again ?.
16 Jan 2024 19:15:35
Everton could be heading for a fire sale, following the news today that 777partners takeover deal almost certainly dead in the water due to multiple financial irregularities in the states.
1.) 16 Jan 2024 21:22:10
Serves right. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.
11 Aug 2023 20:29:01
Gnoto statement from club….
The statement read: “Earlier this week, Willy Gnonto and his representatives were informed by the club that he would not be sold this summer.
“Following those conversations, Willy felt he was unable to play in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie with Shrewsbury Town.
“Despite training for the last two days, Willy has informed Daniel Farke that he still does not feel able to play this weekend and has not travelled to Birmingham for the game tomorrow.
“This is now an internal disciplinary matter and the club will make no further comment, other than to reiterate that Willy is not for sale.
Which translated means he will go but it won’t be cheap, liking this new regime management of the situation.
1.) 11 Aug 2023 22:20:38
Agree Class, everyone is for sale but we hold all the cards.
Long contract, no clause that we are aware of.
If you want him pay up. Right now if a kid is signed from Bristol for 25 mill then I want 35 for an italy international with EPL experience.
2.) 11 Aug 2023 22:41:06
Sue him and his family for contractual treason and unlawful business interruption for one hundred zillion pounds, compound interest, legal fees and luncheon vouchers.
3.) 11 Aug 2023 23:03:52
What Canada said 1 billion percent
And
What Georgey said 1 zillion percent.
4.) 12 Aug 2023 00:28:37
Georgey we need a Bounty Hunter ( what's Brighty up to? )
to rustle up absent without leave Gnonto.
5.) 12 Aug 2023 02:11:57
Baz If you want a bounty hunter, why will contacting a keyboard warrior help with anything? He's listening to the Balkan waves in his smoking jacket whilst wishing he was training Leeds mainstay Kalvin.
6.) 12 Aug 2023 05:46:21
He hasn't gone apologies, he just doesn't feel able to play whatever that means. The youth of today, honestly.
7.) 12 Aug 2023 06:38:13

Norwich beating Hull 4-0 Josh Sargent scored again, that being said I thought we were by far the best team at their place too.
Positives to take so far is we are there or there abouts with a side decimated by injuries and some players (Rodon) a little away from their normally excellent performance levels.
Rest up get some players back and go again.
1.) 05 Oct 2024 16:50:26
My tip to finish in 2nd place Sheff Utd moving now into top 2 today
Looks like Berma considerably underestimated the Blades.
2.) 05 Oct 2024 17:30:02
Baz Underestimates, overestimates and welches.
3.) 05 Oct 2024 18:11:34
Indeed George
Sheff Utd have conceded just 3 goals in the league so far.
Scoring against them will be a challenge for Leeds United in 2 weeks time.
4.) 05 Oct 2024 18:25:37
Good post Class.
5.) 05 Oct 2024 18:40:57
I’m great
Other people are wrong.
6.) 05 Oct 2024 19:27:37

1/ 50 Berma

9/ 2: Ani
40/ 1 bar.
7.) 05 Oct 2024 19:28:28
Bazbot indeed ?.
8.) 05 Oct 2024 20:12:13
We will pump Sheffield utd. Leeds' biggest opponents so far have been Leeds.
No other clubs has played well against us. Burnley, Norwich, Sunderland, all played pap, we just weren't on form. When we find out rhythm - which we are not far off, the other teams will get walked off the park.
Our out of form B team emptied the league leader's stadium on the 80 minute mark.
9.) 05 Oct 2024 20:28:20
Nice to see AI operating just fine.
10.) 05 Oct 2024 22:22:37
Mo, I absolutely concur. I think we are by far the best team in this league based on what I have seen so far, we just need a little luck. We have the players, we have the manager, this year's league is weaker, we just need the rub of the green. Players will come back, red will become black, and we will be all in. MOT.
11.) 05 Oct 2024 23:16:51
Lmao ?.
12.) 05 Oct 2024 23:24:04
It was your alter ego one suspects! ?.
13.) 05 Oct 2024 23:32:05
I love baz bot by far my favourite poster on here
Sadly baz o can’t take credit for it. I’ve been out today enjoying my life and in big discussions about my next two films. I love that you think my life revolves around a you though. Very funny.
14.) 06 Oct 2024 00:39:16
Lol Bazbot . sorry
. I mean OP?
It may have been my alter ego
But latest odds now have you at 1/ 12 odds on .
After some big bets from Eastern Europe and China. ?.
15.) 06 Oct 2024 01:18:06
Good stuff Berma . is it more Guy Ritchie stuff or something new?
You were odds on fave after your literally hundreds of posts a few asking posters to refer to me as " Ipswich Gaz "
16.) 06 Oct 2024 20:45:38
How many films you made BazBot2000?
I’ve made 6 in three years, got three more lined up for next month, impressive and I’m not even a baz bot.
17.) 07 Oct 2024 00:50:53
Berma . good on yer
But as a huge fan of Tarantino
. QUALITY over quantity Berma everytime.
04 Oct 2024 22:32:59
Good performance, got the absolute best of the players we had available tonight, Rothwell excellent busy and always looking forwards, be surprised if Sunderland are up there come the end of the season.
Gnoto probably the best player in the division when he plays like this, simply cannot legislate for the very sad ending.
Whilst it’s true when keepers make mistakes and it’s often catastrophic when they do,
BA poor tonight but can be fairly easily replaced in his position especially when everyone is fit.
Our crime is we have nobody to challenge Messellier, Darlow certainly no better, Mahaddy has tonnes of promise but nowhere near ready.
Agree, with others don’t let that be the biggest event of the evening it does a very hard working and committed team a massive disservice.
I would still buy a keeper in January though.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 22:51:03
Class we don't need a keeper, I'll tell you what the weak link is. It's Rodon. Another player I like and who gives his all, but he is not a stand out defender. Struijk is by far our best, as is Mez as keeper. The issues we have IMO are in centre midfield.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 23:06:49
Well said Class; agree with everything you say. Obviously a very disappointing end, but this is a very hard working team that is starting to click. I was very happy with how the game was going. I think the team is starting to learn how to break these defences down. I know not every one listens to the Sky commentary, but if they do, in both the last two games, the commentary was claiming how difficult it was for Leeds to break these defences and within 30 seconds they scored.
It was always going to be a tough 3 games and I think everyone should agree, we were easily good enough to win all three, despite big players missing and definitely still not reaching the levels I think we can. Several players still not at their best yet.
Feel for Mes; he gets a bad rap regardless, so this was doubly bad for him. Thought it was good to see the team support him.
3.) 04 Oct 2024 23:40:37
Have to agree to disagree on Rodon and Mess I’m aftraid HSpoke, what’s that saying form is temporary but class is permanent.
Rodon agreed, is way out of form, but he was our best defender by miles last year, and he will come good again, I’m sure if it.
Sadly in my humble opinion, Mess has a number of technical flaws (positioning m, high balks in his six yard area) which he’s truly never been able to eradicate, solve, consequently there will almost certainly be other “glitches”.
I like the young man but as a goalkeeper unit (including coaching) we’ve fallen short for a number of years now, and for bookies favourites we must be stronger in that area, but I doubt we will sign a keeper in January so he’s our number 1 for the foreseeable.
Put another way, how many championship sides would take Rodon from us? How many would take Illan?
4.) 05 Oct 2024 00:05:59
Fair post Class.
5.) 05 Oct 2024 00:10:26
Very rarely disagree with your posts Class but respectfully i do so on Meslier, sorry mate but my opinion is that you are totally wrong on wanting to get rid of our number one.
I don’t think Farke either has the same opinion as you and others I’m sure.
I’m totally behind Mez and back him 100%.
6.) 05 Oct 2024 08:19:29
Terrible look at end
Meslier smiling+ joking with Sunderland manager
I know he knows him personally, but after calamity of season like that it was a slap in face to travelling support .
Have a bit of savvy Ilan, . don't be on TV smiling 90 seconds after that fark up .
BDo it off camerA in changing rooms
Wily fantastic last night
BA woeful as usual.
7.) 05 Oct 2024 09:01:57
Fair enough OP fine to have different opinions on our very young keeper, you make the most valid point that Farjey rates him best keeper in this league so nothing is changing there.
I rate him one of the best shot stoppers and 1v1 keepers in the league but overall I think there’s already five, six better keepers than ours in this league.
28 Sep 2024 23:28:19
Just back from granddaughters birthday so never saw any of the game, have watched the (very good) goals, so sounds a very strong performance.
Delighted AO had some decent minutes sounds like he did well just hoping Amps not as bad as press reports.
Carrying a few niggles into next couple of games maybe the despicable International break will be helpful in terms of player recuperation.
22 Sep 2024 11:20:14
Not sure why there is such a level of shock at posters making strong comments around yesterday’s performance.
For the people who say first and foremost or the only thing that matters is the win, enjoy your weekend…. brilliant great.
But please don’t deride posts from people that made that substantial journey at significant cost of they’re right to say…. for them what they invested, it wasn’t great.
If a win is the only thing then great, but if you’re one of those people who want to see exciting attacking football, yesterday was certainly not it.
I watched the whole game, well I say I watched the whole game however, for the first time in three years or more I was switching between the cricket and the golf rather than watch us play in that way.
Brilliant effort by the likes of Firpo and amazing finishing for both goals but had Colwil not skied his shot when completely free on the edge of the box when it was only 0-1……well.
We look like a team completely devoid of confidence and ideas. Managed by a coach (possibly unfairly) who is under significant pressure to get a result…. nothing else so fair play to him, mission accomplished.
But today, I’m still genuinely glad we won but I’m not proud or excited by what I personally watched yesterday, and as for poor MJ…
What chance does the lad have? He makes so many runs in behind but the ball never comes in, I counted seven times when we were attacking we had three vs seven and they only had 10 men on the pitch.
Our magnificent away supporters let Farke and the team know numerous times what they thought of the lack of intent, and Gruev apologising and saying calm down after our second goal was not a great look.
MOT but please make this a turning point in our performances from now on.
1.) 22 Sep 2024 14:19:57
Good post Class
Class I have a question for you
do you think ( some ) posters keep quiet on you posts rather than openly disagree with you?
Very few if any on here ever challenge your points of view.
2.) 22 Sep 2024 14:49:52
Excellent ? post Class. It brightened the weekend.
3.) 22 Sep 2024 15:31:41
Not sure really Baz, Berm challenges me pretty strongly at times but I support his movies so it’s mostly fair. ?
In all seriousness challenging opinions and views is what makes a thriving banter site, I’ve confirmed I’m the worst for predictions on the site so there’s plenty to challenge.
I suppose I always try and debate the opinion, the view but never criticise the person just, because they may disagree with my own view.
Like Hess, he made that trek to Cardiff, paid his money and had every right to say he found it less than amazing overall, but rather than asking him why exactly some people respond he should be happy and how 3 points is the only thing, that’s based on the person responding view not on what Hess highlighted.
I think I probably agree with Brighty and Opti nearly everytime but on this point I don’t, I thought for a lot of that game we were not certain to win, but it’s fine to differ.
But hey anyone is welcome to challenge my views knock yourselves out. It’s just a viewpoint after all, never personal.
4.) 22 Sep 2024 16:06:46
Interesting reply Class. Thanks.
Are Berma's Guy Ritchieesque movies any good Class?
5.) 22 Sep 2024 16:37:20
He’s not bad ya know, mind you we was already dead long before he had worked it out, but they’re an entertaining watch all the same ?.
6.) 22 Sep 2024 16:43:10
Cheers class
To be fair I often agree with you but sometimes do disagree however I do it with respect as I think you come across as a good bloke, passionate about leeds and have a great knowledge of football
Baz you won’t like my films mate. See while I have won countless awards and had so many great reviews comparing me to guy Ritchie, Martin scorescs and tarentino
My films are made on for between 40k to 280k where as snatch was made for 10 million 20 years ago
So although I’m clearly immensely talented and respected by critics to the uneducated eye comparing me to Ritchie is like comparing farke to Belisa. One had the money the other didn’t.
7.) 22 Sep 2024 16:55:52
Most folks accept Classes posts because he is expressing his opinion as exactly that, opinion. He also is consistent in what he says, polite and level headed. He doesn't spend 90% of his post deciding other posters and their opinions. He isn't provocative and doesn't set out to wind up for the sake of it.
and there is a pleasing absence of emoji.
8.) 22 Sep 2024 16:59:23
Very fair perspectives Class, and I also tend to reply to yours and anyone’s posts that spike a response. That said, and taking into account Baz’s observations, I’m going to ignore the specifics, and not respond any further than this, so that Baz can feel his much needed warm fuzzy feelings of being partly right!
9.) 22 Sep 2024 17:10:22
Berma, au contraire
remember Corks post last season on fave musicians, films and directors
We have same tastes in music and film
We both love the Greatest Showman Ever Mr Freddie Mercury
And thd Greatest Diretor Ever Mr Quentij Tarantino
. so if you have even 1% of Tarantino talent . kudos.
10.) 22 Sep 2024 17:51:37
Dont often agree with you Ani . but me being always fair I do fully agree with your portrayal of Class .
11.) 22 Sep 2024 18:34:30
If you read the reviews for my work it is arguable that I have as much talent as Ritchie, tranentio and scoreesse. I have been compared to them and Pinter many many times. I just don’t have there money so my films can’t really be compared.
Bit like farke and bubs
Or Wilde, the Ipswich bloke, franke who I adore and pep. Pep not as good as the others as he has the money so the job is easy
Making a film for 10 million twenty years ago can’t be compared to making a film last year for 280k so to be compared to them is a huge compliment
Farke getting us in playoffs or when warnock kept us up far better than besila getting us promoted or not th in prem in my opinion due to money and circumstances.
12.) 22 Sep 2024 19:13:59
Very fair post, Class. As always. Can't argue with any of that.
13.) 22 Sep 2024 19:27:21
Bermo's talent only second to his modesty ?
His films definitely worth a watch if you like British gangster films.
And if you watch Gangster's Kiss you will see a very handsome Yorkshire chap in certain scenes. As well as DJ I'm in it somewhere as well.
14.) 22 Sep 2024 19:29:30
Berma . as it happens I have been reading the reviews of your latest film.
Hmmm Ill leave it at that . ?.
15.) 22 Sep 2024 21:06:33
Baz if you’ve read all the reviews from bermondsey tales you will see why I’m tipped to be in the mix for a bafta
My point is this. Frake is better than bubs.

22.) 23 Sep 2024 08:44:51
Baz you’ve once again derailed a thread started with a well written post into a Baz conspiracy theory that “people who have similar opinions don’t get the same style of response as when I post them” (read your posts and then other peoples and you’ll see why) followed by an attack on Bermo’s career (and seemingly making your mind up without actually being willing to do any research or fact checking (ie watch any of his films) - sound familiar? )
I’ve long wondered what you do (or did) for a living that makes you so well positioned to tell everybody (various board directors, club scouts, DoFs, medical teams, managers, players, investors, film directors, every poster on the board etc) that they don’t know what they’re doing and you know better? I’d love to see what your reaction would be if somebody criticised your work in the same way you seem to think is fine.
23.) 23 Sep 2024 10:01:48
Baz you and George have dished out a more than a fair amount of impolite opinions to other poster’s opinions, especially you, I suggest if you feel the response to you is unfair, then don’t dish it out in bucket loads.
If it’s called Banter then your version of it is a bit disrespectful at times. Nobody is right or wrong on this forum and Class is our model poster for purveying his opinions, take a leaf out of his book.
24.) 23 Sep 2024 10:43:25
Brockers film critic reviews give one insight into its worth investing 3 hours of one's life watching a certain movie
I would much rather rewatch the truly great scriptwriter and director in Tarantino and his films rather than the self proclaimed Tarantino Scorcese Berma and his films.
25.) 23 Sep 2024 10:46:21
OP you've said many a time you lurve to focus on my posts
I am not complaining though, bring it on fella ?.
26.) 23 Sep 2024 10:47:54
I’m on the long list baz but for the record don't think I’ll win.
Guardian do hate me but then they are going to I write working class stuff
Cork I didn’t direct a gangsters kiss. In my opinion that’s my worst film by a long way
I directed bermondsey tales fall of the Roman Empire.
Reviews on IMDb here. The film was compared to snatch, lockstock, the Krays, goodfellas and godfather part two by critics. I was compared to Ritchie, Scorsese and tarebtino many times by the professional critics. Again context my film cost 280k in 2024 they made films for multi millions 30 years ago
27.) 23 Sep 2024 10:59:06
Thanks Brockley and op
I have tried to respond but the Ed’s won’t let me post a link but please all feel free to Google bermondsey tales fall of the Roman Empire on IMDb
It was the film I directed (I didn’t direct a gangsters kiss which I think is my worst film bu a mile)
On IMDb you will see every professional review likening the film to snatch meets goodfellas and the krays meets godfather part two, the best film in its genre for two decades. All professional critics words not mine
Many professional critics have likened me to guy Ritchie, tarebtino and scoressose again there words not mine
If anyone cares to read it’s all there on IMDb. Baz take five minutes rather than slagging me off?
{Ed001's Note - it gets caught up by the spam filter Berm, Ed33 should find it eventually. Apologies mate.}
28.) 23 Sep 2024 11:31:06
Berma
I idolise Tarantino he is a frigging genius. so do forgive one
BUT NO ONE is like him. great like him. No one even remotely close imo
I do wish you great success though .
29.) 23 Sep 2024 12:18:11
Baz, you’ve outdone yourself, taking needless swipes at a guys career. Just because what he does falls into the public domain, doesn’t give you the right to take a swipe at his work on a feckin footie forum!
Perhaps as Brockley suggests, you could enlighten us as to your career, your profession, and how successful you have been to be in a position to judge others in such a way? Then perhaps we will all be big enough to say “you know what, I ain’t perfect, so who am I to judge on something I know nowt about”. Something you clearly lack the ability to do.
30.) 23 Sep 2024 12:55:04
I’ll give Bermondsey Tales a watch Bermo. I do love proper London gangster movies.

Cheers thank ms Ed and completely understand
Thanks also cork and Celtic
Baz if you read the many reviews you will see I’m not self proclaimed Tarantino others, many others have said it about me same with Ritchie and Scorsese. Unlike you I don’t blow my own trumpet but I do enjoy the praise from my work which I am very proud of.
33.) 23 Sep 2024 16:19:10
George yes but briefly however I have worked with seven of the cast of lock stock and snatch four of whom are close mates of mine.

Well as a firm reinforcement of my managerial expertise Stoke sack their coach.
I had originally tipped Schumachers Stoke to be a dark horse team this season mainly because I thought Stoke outplayed us at home last Season in a very competent passing team.
He was promoted with Plymouth originally scoring goals for fun playing an exciting expansive style of football.
But he’s gone, Stoke have won twice in five and remain in the Carabo cup but he is an early casualty, after Saturdays 1-0 defeat away at Oxford United.
On the plus side, it maintains by prediction ratio at a firm 100%…. wrong again!
Seems a good coach, think he will come good in time but this (for me) Championship shows again why it’s the toughest league in the top five leagues anywhere in the world, not technically the best but certainly the toughest.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that decision too! Can only guess there was something else bubbling under, and they were waiting for a suitable opportunity?

Think if it’s a very quick appointment Brighty says they already had someone lined up.
Can see David Moyes managing in the championship for someone this season.

I admire your honesty Class - if you can predict a few more for me I'll have a bet the other way:) )
You are quite right though, he's a decent coach who should have been given more time but as Brighty says, was there something else bubbling under?
Tough league whichever way you lay your bets!

Oh happy to post my lottery numbers Cleggy just stay well clear.
5.) 16 Sep 2024 13:20:03
Is he our next manager.
6.) 16 Sep 2024 15:52:10
Hope not but Moyes will never drop to the Championship in my opinion.
7.) 16 Sep 2024 16:08:25
Moyes was coaching in Champo and L1 from memory with little ole
Preston OP
Bielsa and Wilko agreed to join Super Leeds in this league . why not Moyes?
8.) 16 Sep 2024 16:40:22
Oh wasn’t suggesting Moyes for us, just see him topping up his pension fund in the Championship this season, bearing in mind my predictions record.

Mate appreciate your honesty but you may not be wrong sometimes things just ain’t a good fit
Hecky is a great manager and done well at all his clubs but was awful fit at leeds you could also argue Howell at Burnley I think.
10.) 16 Sep 2024 20:49:33
Does happen with certain managers at certain clubs, for Mourhinio all the time more recently.
11.) 17 Sep 2024 14:51:38
Jose Mourinho new Leeds manager?
He's managed everywhere else at this point.
30 Aug 2024 22:50:03
Yes he signed club have also confirmed that ends Leeds transfer business in or out for this window.
30 Aug 2024 13:52:30
Think this boy could be a superstar for us, your patience is starting to reap rewards Aus ?.
24 Aug 2024 11:43:42
Not a risk if he’s a loaner he would just return but he is a terrifically talented player on his day and may bring a little X factor with him, certainly worth a shot.
19 Aug 2024 13:09:17
Wasn’t it Antonson? Ended up going to Blackburn didn’t he? I recall he was a hard working industrious type forward, sadly was unable to score goals.
13 Aug 2024 16:39:56
Cheers Ed, for that excellent breakdown of some exciting young prospects, sort of understandable as to why Slot hasn’t rushed to the transfer market himself to date, if he already has some potential nuggets in the academy.
{Ed001's Note - the academy is producing a lot right now - but it should be pointed out that a large portion of them were recruited nearly fully developed, such as Nyoni, who was signed from Leicester. He looks to be the crown jewel.}

What a CV player and what a team, transformative for how football was played, Cryuff took this style of football onto Barcelona and everyone has been trying to copy ever since.

Surprised Wall didn’t come back for young Charlie on a permanent contract, he is the epitome of the blood and guts centre half they live, and has a goal or two about him from set pieces.
Actually think championship is his maximum level at this time as mobility and ability with the ball at his feet would require significant improvement, to get beyond Championship level.
Lovely lad and heart on his sleeve every game and will have a steady rather meteoric career I believe.
06 Oct 2024 13:02:57
Think he could be an amazing player in the championship and has great experience to help younger players, not sure we could manage Bulgarian and scouse communications at the same time.

Good article, again, it shows how it is almost impossible to get promoted to the EPL and stay there, after one season you either need unlimited funds, amazing recruitment system (Brighton) or an exceptional coach (Thomas Frank) Brentford.
Which in reality, almost certainly means the coach and players who got you promoted in the main will probably have to be jettisoned, if you are to retain any hope of beating the drop.
I see the EPL as a premium business model (like F1) where they have to maintain the illusion of the opportunity for all teams competitors to join the elite as if we really only watched the top six every week viewing figures would be hit, hence the drive to create a super league in the first place.
Nothing wrong with that, it’s open transparent and can be wonderful especially if you are an established top six side, just personally I prefer the unpredictability, cut and thrust of the Championship.

Fair comment, It’s true Baz I’m normally very glass half full and I do not derive any sense of pleasure from criticising such a young keeper. I thought we had the next Courthois on our hands after Illan’s debut at Arsenal.
But for me Baz he’s just never kicked on, I fully accept he’s played behind some woeful defences and yes I’m first to admit my hero Bielsa was to blame for a lot of those heavy defeats.
He just worries me every game and that’s just my personal view, but I know he doesn’t mean to do these errors it’s just a mystery as to why Leeds United coaching staff, recruitment team seem to struggle in such a critical area of the pitch.
Michael Cooper signed by blunts from Plymouth for £2million (rising to a maximum of 4million) has some of the best stats in the championship this season and he’s exactly the type of young keeper we should be targeting for me Baz.
