Rads spotted at Inter Milan, it's stated he doesn't get involved in transfer negotiations.
Big question is why?
Is he about to cash in his chips at Leeds and move to Inter?

Leeds1970

1.) 29 Jan 2021 00:26:57
He was at a meeting to talk about lost football revenue and how it could be resolved.


2.) 29 Jan 2021 09:06:44
Yes I saw that cover story and it well could be right, although it seems a long way to go for something that could be discussed over the phone or zoom.

One thing that is for sure is the reason he was there needed to be discussed in person. For me that tells a different story, as every team in the world is suffering a loss of revenue.


3.) 29 Jan 2021 15:00:15
Rads spends his time spilt between Leeds and Italy is my understanding 1970. Might have gone in because he was out that way anyway this week. He's big on networking too so turning up in person is a bigger statement (plus if I had a private jet I'd fly on it all the time too) .


4.) 30 Jan 2021 07:33:51
Essential travel.


 

 

22 Sep 2020 21:06:16
Looking like Mario and Llorente could be deals.
Maybe one more to come after that?

Leeds1970

1.) 22 Sep 2020 21:50:30
With 2 players possibly joining in quick succession, could be a case of Super Mario bros 😂🚗.

Looks like De Paul deal is taking a while to get sorted, not good.

Leeds1970

1.) 02 Sep 2020 16:39:12
Media reports that he prefers a move to Juventus.


2.) 02 Sep 2020 16:48:45
There are no real indications anything is wrong in the press, apparently a 35million Euro deal has been agreed and terms have already been agreed with De Paul himself so sounds like we could see something happen before the end of the week.


3.) 02 Sep 2020 18:17:40
Wouldn't we all George but other media indicating Juve aren't interested.


4.) 03 Sep 2020 15:16:02
Seen reports that he has agreed terms with Leeds and another he is holding out for juventus to come in and bid for him. If we are second choice then rather we look elsewhere, guy doesn't think we are worthy. Still think we need a decent back up keeper and another centre half. Would rather take Wilson from Liverpool for £20 million than spend £30+ on De Paul!


5.) 03 Sep 2020 19:34:57
Left out of unidese friendly tonight things may still work out for us you never know I hope he does sign MOT.


6.) 04 Sep 2020 06:50:57
Football doesn't work that way any more though Mezzer. He is Italian, Juve are their top club and currently dwarf us in terms of finances, trophy winning potential and Champs league football. Lad would be daft not to fancy a move to them but that doesn't mean it will happen or that he won't give his all if the 'dream' move doesn't materialise.


7.) 04 Sep 2020 06:56:50
Sorry meant he is in Italian football - De Paul is of course Argentinian.


 

 

29 Nov 2019 13:36:56
All the talk of Vydra deal already having been done, does that give the impression he might be training, if not with the squad, but to Balsa's guidance, fitness levels etc, so as to hit the ground running in January. get him up to speed in November and December
He scored 22 goals for rams in this league so knows what its about, he has also been well rested.
Is he coming as part of the final payment due on the Woods deal?
There appears to be yardage in this rumour.

Leeds1970

1.) 29 Nov 2019 17:46:04
Bit of wishfull thinking in there 70 but I do wish it was true. Get him and play him straight away.


2.) 01 Dec 2019 00:32:20
In a word, no.


3.) 04 Dec 2019 10:28:17
Apparently he’s not even on our list.


4.) 04 Dec 2019 13:46:36
Phil Hay quoted he definitely won't be coming!


5.) 07 Dec 2019 16:55:05
I wouldn't want him, don't think he is a premier league striker. Would rather we trusted Nketiah and Edmondson than spend heavily on Vydra, unless someone truly proven in the prem or much younger wit more potential than Vydra. His attitude when we tried to sign him initially doesn't endear him to me either.


6.) 08 Dec 2019 19:40:32
Much of the talk now is for Cenk Tosun and/ or Brewster.


 

 

06 Nov 2019 13:21:38
On the possible sale of the club to QSI, bearing in mind to take most of these stories with a pinch of salt. Saying that the story is not going away and at the end of the most recent article from L@Equipe the most telling line for me was.

"L'Equipe reached out to Radrizzani for an update, but they were told the Italian would not be able to comment on the ongoing discussions. "

If this is the case and while a sale might never happen, stating that Radrizzani would not be able to comment makes me think negotiations are currently taking place and he is bound by a confidentiality agreement, which is normal in these circumstances.

16 Mar 2024 14:54:20 Bermo, Not looking to get into a big debate would just like to note you say you saw Philips for what he was/ is My view on this is he is burnt out After Bielsa many of our players suffered this fate because of the intensity required by MB Then when players should have been resting over the summer Philips went to the Euros and was one of Englands best performers . While able to get to the level required to play at the top he couldn't sustain that physically, this is what Pep saw and then after this Philips confidence is shattered Needs a reboot but probably won't reattain those levels again For a period he was our best performer, probably Englands best midfield That's why City invested in him You cannot take this away from him.

Leeds1970

1.) 16 Mar 2024 16:37:12
Leeds1970 that Ipswich your taking about well I do hope?
But you your are 100% he look done in just not the same player he Wes sitting on the bench didn’t help, sad.


2.) 16 Mar 2024 17:27:06
70 I don't think burn out is anything to do with KPs demise. Bielsa took a championship midfielder and helped him get fitter than he has ever been put him in a rigid system in which he flourished.
The fact he lost his fitness and turned up to man City overweight made pep not use him.
In my opinion it's a loss of focus after leaving leeds. This led to him losing his fitness over the closed season and he has lost all confidence by not being played.


3.) 16 Mar 2024 17:42:15
Ipswich are making up ground on our goal difference it’s going to get hard now win win every game.


4.) 16 Mar 2024 17:57:30
Spot on Ben
Nothing to do with burnout

Injuries in 2021/ 22

Loss of Match fitness from not playing at all 2022/ 24

Loss of confidence from being hung out to dry by Pep . bad man management 2022/ 23


England player of tournament in 2021 got him his move to Citeh .


5.) 16 Mar 2024 17:59:22
Whitey . GD isn't important according to someone.


6.) 16 Mar 2024 18:00:22
Not trying to take anything away from him. Just saying I saw him for what he was and still is when many including pep couldn’t see it.

Phillips is a player who of you allow him to play he will dominate the ball and hurt you… he showed this a number of times. Best examples of this was against Everton and Croatia… both games he was sat back off of and he played well with his range of passing…. Not taking away from him.

He is also a player who is too slow to be effective if you play against him. Mount showed that in derby game, Scotland showed it against England, man you showed it when he was at fault for 4 goals in 45 minutes!

He is not a dm… he is slow, easy to by pass and can not read the game… annoyingly I can not post videos on here but using footage on motd I showed 80 examples where he was at direct fault for being out of position and gave away a goal or free kick which led to goal.

Trouble is without that analysis which I had and showed while at leeds he looked like world beater because of passing not a useless player.

I saw this, called it out, showed this through analysis and now he doesn’t have rice next to him or playing in a leeds system which allowed him to be useless as Belisa didn’t care about defending everyone can see what I saw.

So not taking away from just saying as they say in the London Underground. I see it say it sorted…. all my what’s app groups that can see my footage and commentary (which is not suitable for under 18s or any of humanity) all praise me for this.


7.) 16 Mar 2024 20:14:33
Baz mate I no but if they keep banging them in it could well be.


8.) 16 Mar 2024 20:53:51
While I agree with some of what you say Bermo Phillips is a good player. He is slow and players can breeze past him but David Batty wasn’t exactly quick either. I believe he is more suited to international football with the slower pace and having more time on the ball.
As for having numerous clips of his ineptitude you could do the same on almost any player. Ronald Koeman was such a player. Unbelievable at certain parts of the game but on occasion could be a liability.
It’s all about opinions I suppose? You actually said before Shackleton was a class act and was way better than Phillips but I see Jamie as much as I like his endeavour a league 1 or at best Milwall level player.
Not taking the piss with Milwall bit by the way!


9.) 16 Mar 2024 22:07:49
I agree cork Phillips is good at what he does but too weak in the modern game because of his skill set.

I adore batty (who was a lot quicker than Phillips but then so is my nan and she died last year) but would batty suit the modern game.

Pace is so important now, high press, quick turn over etc all kill you if slow. That was always my point… if you let Phillips play he will kill your… but it’s Beth easy to take him out the game.

I was talking to a millwall first team player about shacks. I said o rate him… he does nothing well but does everything well enough

He said the same… in teaming he was a terrier that no one could beat, he can mark, he can tackle and is quick and mobile enough to do a job… just not flashy enough


As dm shacks offered more than Phillips but in modern game style over plays substance sadly.


10.) 17 Mar 2024 00:27:19
Berm you are very critical of kalvin.
How can he be so bad if he has played in a euro final and a world Cup for England? Yes he is and was limited in his abilities but in the system he played he was a good solid player.
In my opinion the only factor was the best version of kalvin was the version that was super focused and bielsa fit. When that kalvin left the building he was spent.
Every dog has its day but some have longer leashes.


11.) 17 Mar 2024 08:19:19
Agree with you Ben, Kal was a good player with Bielsa and his game. Fitness was the key word for Phillips and he hasn’t been the same since. You could say with all his injuries that followed were a cause of that period with Bielsa’s hardcore training.
He may be a spent player now but he most certainly wasn’t then.


12.) 17 Mar 2024 09:11:01
Maybe ben but I never rated him…

For me like beilsa too many focus in the strengths so didn’t see the weaknesses…. Rose to tied glasses… with both Phillips and Belisa I saw and appreciated the streanghts but unlike most also saw the weaknesses and felt over all the weaknesses outwieghed the strengths

I was very vocal about both and predicted both of the overall weaknesses and downfalls…. I got a lot of flack on here and rightly so


However years on it turns out I was right with both … of course they have good points but the bad points mean they have no place in the prem.


13.) 17 Mar 2024 12:41:56
Yes I know and read most of your posts on kp and bielsa before I joined this site properly. I too could see the good and bad parts of both parties. Kp was never quick enough or skillful enough for a top champions league like man City and had rodri in front of him. I often questioned his inclusion in the England team, but with the Southgate tactics, he was suited to that role where most of the play was in front of him.

A 100% fit 100% confident and 100% focused kp was able to overcome his shortcomings. I think maybe his mindset on leaving leeds may have reverted to the championship player that bielsa found 4 or so years ago. Bielsa's coaching and fitness regime was in my opinion a perfect storm for kp and I really don't know if he will find that storm again.

"Sky Sports asked a member of staff at Leeds United how to go about making peace with supporters, according to Phil Hay. "

Allegedly these are some of the Leeds fans grievances and feel free to add any I've omitted

Alongside the rearranged fixtures at very unsuitable times to travel to the likes of Plymouth
Maybe they should stop commentating on our games with such obvious anti Leeds bias
The reporting of the Bielsagate by his mates at Sky on behalf of Fat Frank was another stitch up

With an election coming up all the local representatives should also be canvassed to make representation on the fans behalf to Sky to assist in this matter.

Leeds1970

1.) 18 Feb 2024 14:23:04
The glariringly obvious anti Leeds bias of their "commentators" and " pundits" is the main one.


2.) 18 Feb 2024 14:38:24
Well said Baz :)


3.) 18 Feb 2024 15:20:32
Yes don goodman and Andy hinchcliff just don’t like Leeds and any 50/ 50 decision is always against us and they go over the top to explain why. Two muppets who shouldn’t be allowed to commentate on Leeds games.


4.) 18 Feb 2024 15:36:30
Anti Leeds punditry whether it’s Sly Sports, Talk Sport or any other has been around for a long time.
It’s not going to change anytime soon either, that dirty Leeds tag will never go away, it is derived from that even though that 50 years or more ago.
But we don’t care. Fkum.


5.) 18 Feb 2024 21:04:50
Don Goodman should NEVER Be allowed to commentate on a Leeds game . He just cannot hide his hatred .


6.) 18 Feb 2024 21:49:10
Personally I quite like it when the like of Goodman n Hinchcliffe commentate on Leeds as it degrades the whole show. They represent sky and totally make fools of themselves.
I’ve watched Leeds games in company and neutral football fans hear the same anti Leeds bias we all hear.
MOT.


7.) 19 Feb 2024 07:44:18
I quite like shouting at them, whether it’s a stream or a repeat. Gimme my free BG Sports coverage every time! One of the pundits over here is actually a member of the Leeds United Bulgaria Fans club I’m part of, which is the other end of the scale in terms of bias! ?.


 

 

02 Feb 2024 10:16:51
Horses for courses and there is still a long way to run in the league.
Let's see where we are at Easter and then the run in down the final stretch.

Looks like the 49'rs are running with a 25 player squad . Hopefully building on quality rather quantity.

There are probably about 6 more to go from the championship squad as not good enough, with a further 6 to go if promoted as not good enough for the premier league squad .

How would the current squad do in the premier with 6 additions .

What we have at the moment is probably half of what we need.

Leeds1970

1.) 02 Feb 2024 10:53:40
Wouldn’t worry about the squad being good enough for the prem tbh. got to get out of this league first and that transfer window tells me ( untitled to my own opinion ) that we ain’t going to be back in prem for a while. Team 11 good enough for champ. Maybe 13 good enough for champ. But the best will be gone come summer meaning. Make yourself comfy.


2.) 02 Feb 2024 11:15:36
2nd paragraph 70! ✊???✊?
Spot on, and that’s the only way to run a viable football business.


3.) 02 Feb 2024 14:30:23
What Aus said

It will have to be re building in less than 4 months time if Leeds fail to get promoted

Rodon, Summerville, Rutter definitely gone

Ampadu, Struick, DJ and Gnonto probably

Bottom line : Last Summer window wasnt quite good enough nor has Farke been quite good enough with crucial careless dropped points away defeats.

Very high standards required this season.


4.) 02 Feb 2024 15:52:05
Baz - if we don't go up then the 69ers should stick to our guns and hold out for a reasonable price, unless our former bearded friend included a take the p155 clause in their contracts. Gnonto, Jimmy, Rutter and Sini should command £100m between them. Amps, Stuijk and DJ I can see stayting. Rodon - not sure if he'll be tempted to sign a perm if we don't go up.
Bloody Leicester having the season of their lives (not including the Prem winning season) have ruined it for us!


5.) 02 Feb 2024 16:42:21
Fair enough post ILK.


6.) 02 Feb 2024 18:30:08
No big deal if we have to rebuild this summer. First and foremost promotion or otherwise, we would be doing so anyway, since they’re all only championship standard according to most here anyway.

Secondly, Farke built a new team in about a fortnight last summer; so with a bit more time (for everyone involved) , nothing to say he can’t build a promotion / EPL surviving team.


 

 

25 Jan 2024 12:05:34
Looks like Farke has the ability to get the best out of players with a number of examples in Bamford, Firpo, James and Rutter .

These players are contributing more than most on here would have thought they were capable of .

Shows what a good manager/ coach can achieve.

Leeds1970

1.) 25 Jan 2024 12:51:05
Or they are good players and have found their level.
Bamford has always been hot and cold average.
Let’s not get away with ourselves.
Farke is best manager we’ve had since Bielsa but don’t over do it.


2.) 25 Jan 2024 13:30:39
I think very highly of Bielsa and what he did with the squad he inherited, unfortunately the big achilles heal in his methods of extremely high intensity football ended up burning the players out. The injuries and burnout we could not cope with because of a lack of investment in the squad.

It's a big "if" but if Farke can get us up and followed by mid table stability, I would most likely rank Farke above Bielsa.

One good thing about Farke is, he's been down the home stretch a couple of times before and knows what it's about.

There is a lot of football still to be played, there will be some freak results plus some ups and downs .

One game at a time and each game as it comes.


3.) 25 Jan 2024 14:02:57
Good posts 1970!


4.) 25 Jan 2024 14:04:42
Aus you really can't throw Bam Bam a bone can you.


5.) 25 Jan 2024 15:05:52
I think farke has benefited from us getting 1-2 years worth of better players with the prem money etc. Plus one or to promising youngsters have come of age. Bielsa had his main squad and then average championship players in reserve. Bielsa's squad could not cope with a few injuries were I think farke squad probably could.
I would like to see this squad as a bielsa team it would be cracking.


6.) 25 Jan 2024 15:05:52
Farke should never be ranked nor talked about in the same sentence as Marcelo Bielsa! I Don't care what he achieves! He is a good manager BUT ranking him against Marcelo Bielsa! NEVER!


7.) 25 Jan 2024 15:49:54
Hooksie the vehement protestations made me chuckle .
The Bielsa fanatics are definitely that: " fanatical "


8.) 25 Jan 2024 16:01:29
What my man ??? says. Farke getting best out of Firpo and Bamford because they've finally returned to full fitness and they're playing at their level. As for James, he's finally matured and is imo a mid grade EPL quality player. As for Rutter, he's class and is now accustomed to the English game. Farke has had something to do with it but not as much as you claim. His treatment of CC (not the poster) has been well below the decent standard.


9.) 25 Jan 2024 16:49:02
I do believe that Farke’s methods has helped to bring the best out of some players that haven’t been realizing their potential. I think if he does get us up this season it should be considered as a major achievement considering the state of our depleted squad and not really knowing wtf was going to happen until the end of the transfer window on the 1st September.

As for Cresswell George, fans have just got to accept for whatever reasons they are, he doesn’t fit in or is not ready to play to Farke’s methods.
Farke has offered him to stay at the club to try and improve and adapt.
Managers have to make these sort of decisions, I’m sure it doesn’t make them happy and I’m certain there’s nothing personal involved.
A manager or coach can not be successful if he puts sentiment first.


10.) 25 Jan 2024 17:13:24
DF public rinsing of Cresswell wholly unnecessary.


11.) 25 Jan 2024 17:14:29
OP So let's see him on bench for Pilgrims then. Few minutes wouldn't hurt?


12.) 25 Jan 2024 18:26:53
Regrettably on this site if something goes wrong it's Farke's fault and if something goes right it's nothing to do with him. Go figure.


13.) 25 Jan 2024 19:34:18
So true Alf, got no time for it.
It’s amazing how many pseudo professional football coaches there are on those keyboards at home.
Public rinsing, really? Pfff.

15.) 25 Jan 2024 20:00:01
OP Baz could be typing away from Lancaster Gate. Baz is very knowledgeable as are others on this forum. Some humility and appreciation required from you methinks.


16.) 25 Jan 2024 20:10:43
Farke didn’t open his presser with comments about Cressy, he was asked a question. Should he lie, or be honest!? I know what approach I prefer.


17.) 25 Jan 2024 20:40:21
OP yes public rinsing OP. not quite at the levels of your and Mr Cuppas hero Bielsa rinsing of Drameh though.


18.) 25 Jan 2024 20:43:09
Indeed Georgey, the 'rose tinters' might think they know it all but they evidently dont.


19.) 25 Jan 2024 22:07:53
But you obviously do Baz.

George I think if Baz is entitled to make spurious comments about Farke and Bielsa on this forum then surely I’m entitled to challenge him?
Besides Baz has belittled and mocked the large part of my posts on here, he can have bit back. Or do you think that Baz should not be challenged because of his apparent superior knowledge of football?


20.) 25 Jan 2024 22:46:35
OP my comments are certainly not spurious/ fake. the Bielsa interview especially. Anyways . opinions differ on this.

But in reality . FACTUALLY ' spurious' would be your erroneous counter claim yesterday for example that Preston could never get thrashed (when in fact they had been thrashed multiple times this season) . even you then admitted and conceded that your claim was fake/ spurious.

I do generally enjoy your posts OP especially the unintentionally amusing ones ?.


21.) 26 Jan 2024 05:33:48
For those demanding it I ask, who on any given week, are we dropping so that CC plays. Who shouldn’t have played against Norwich so that he could?


22.) 26 Jan 2024 05:54:12
Make it up Baz why don’t you, never made the comment that Preston could never take a thrashing. It was unlikely that we would smash 5 goals so easily against them as you predicted by they we were beaten by them the last time we played them.
Unrealistic wouldn’t you say?

Unintentional amusing posts is exactly what I’m saying that you generally take the piss out of most of my posts. But that’s ok by me because I will continue to challenge your spurious posts, especially the ones against Farke and Bielsa. ?.


23.) 26 Jan 2024 06:11:20
Ani no one has stated Cresswell should be a 1st team starter

He imo should/ could be on bench as right footed RCB option.


24.) 26 Jan 2024 06:40:50
Exactly Ani!


25.) 26 Jan 2024 08:30:33
At the end of the day, it’s dark,
Farke will not sanction Cresswell to leave for a pittance and nor will he unless there is a suitable replacement for him in this window.
Its very evident that Cresswell is not in Farke’s plans and will be moved on at some point, that’s football.


26.) 26 Jan 2024 12:06:03
No OP that's NOT what you said at all:

Here's exactly what you said in quotes

' I know you like to think easy games exist in the Championship Baz but I am sorry to inform you there aren't any. Beating 5 nil or whatever thrashing you thought we might bestow on little ol Preston, that my friend was never going to happen against a team that play the way they do. '


27.) 26 Jan 2024 12:08:30
. or Cresswell is loaned out, because as Aus correctly points out Farke will be sacked during next season if it looks like Leeds United aren't getting promoted.


28.) 26 Jan 2024 14:53:14
All very quiet on the OP front lol .


29.) 26 Jan 2024 18:32:02
I think it’s time to let things go now. It ain’t good reading anymore, as there is always an underlying spike / jibe which isn’t necessary. Suck it up, and move on.


 

 

19 Jan 2024 09:34:42
Coops made too many mistakes, he had a lot of ingredients, but the one thing he didn't give the fans was confidence.
Therefore he falls into the class of good clubman.

Aside from quite a number of categories of dross.

There are four categories of quality players
Journeymen
Good clubmen
Great clubmen
and then legends

On this side, match winners, be that defending, attacking or in goal is a very big criteria to be classed as legend .


Very few players since the Revie era are Legends.

Leeds1970

1.) 19 Jan 2024 10:11:04
Agreed 70. Like many "football" phrases, used too cheaply at times. Though there are some that no one will argue about the rest are fodder for sites like this.
Try picking a legends side and see how many arguements spring up.


2.) 19 Jan 2024 11:37:05
That’s a very good run down of categories 70! Totally agree!


3.) 19 Jan 2024 12:13:25
Good post 1970, although I would argue there’s a 5th category. ’why the heck did we buy them? ’.

On a serious note, Sorry to see Coops go, heart in the right place and would definitely like to say thank you for your service to the club - good luck with the rest of your career.


4.) 19 Jan 2024 13:06:00
Coops I think will be remembered in the future as a legendary captain just because of how he helped lead us back to the prem. As with a few of bielsa's team they were part of a legend.
As with bit part players for revies teams or wilkos they be only remembered by being part of that team.
In my opinion not one of us will say in years to come that coops was a legendary defender or player but he will inspire legend.
Legendary is not best or top of rankings it is someone who is talked about and stories of their derring do is recounted in hostelries and inns by Old men to young men in a vain attempt to show that in my day things were much better.

Yes I saw that cover story and it well could be right, although it seems a long way to go for something that could be discussed over the phone or zoom.

One thing that is for sure is the reason he was there needed to be discussed in person. For me that tells a different story, as every team in the world is suffering a loss of revenue.

Chris have you a decent source for this, rather than just journos rehashing headlines from other sites.

Think JC's advisers were trying to play one off against the other to get as much out of any deal as possible. Don't know if Clarke actually wanted to go, so they had to start a blame game to sell the move to JC, running Leeds down to sell the idea of the move to a reluctant JC might be one way of looking at it. Who knows? One thing that must be remembered is no one is bigger than the Club.

DF, didn't have the players to keep Norwich up, not his fault imho
Same Bielsa, just didn't have enough players with quality, did well with what he had.
It's not like they were underperforming under Bielsa,
Similar now with DF.
What we have or keep needs supplementing with 6,7,8 top quality players.

To go, Darlow, Coops, Dallas, Byram

Maybe Shacks and Geldhardt, Bamford, and Piroe
Leave that to DF

Wober, back as utility back and holding midfield cover.
We then need
Keeper
Two fullbacks,
Attacking Mid like Pablo
Winger
Goalscorer
Replacements for Piroe, Bamford, if moved on.

Wober as CB and DM cover would be the best of them.
Would be very happy to keep everyone we have and look at replacing the following
Cooper, Dallas and Darlow who are now past their best so Wober alongside a keeper and FB would make sense .
Then its just an upgrade on Shacks for a AM, Gelhardt for a goalscorer and maybe another winger instead of Anthony .

Will they cash in on some of the jewels we have is another question .

They are better staying with us than going to a bottom half prem side . Really unless a top eight prem side come in they should stay with us because I believe we are on the right trajectory to become a top 8 side .
