Probably an upgrade on Strike at the moment who's currently our second centre back I would think..As much as I like Pascal to be a very good player in a year or two There has to be 2 center backs before the start of the season. I see Strujik as a 2nd back up at CB, and that he can cover the DMC rol...

Agreed. Bielsa has reportedly chosen 5 players in each target position ranging from ‘virtually impossible‘ to sign to very realistic: https://sportwitness.co.uk/argentina-marcelo-bielsas-demands-sign-new-contract-leeds/ I have much more trust in Bielsa’s choice of player than Orta’s. Of course, eve...

waaay too risky - they turn out to be flops a lot more times than they actually come off maybe one would be worth the risk, but a summer full of players from random leagues and you get yourself another batch of grots, ekubans, de bocks, sackos, cibickis etc. you cant really compare the step up from...

The only Horse's Mouth i ever heard from was Mr. Ed. And that guy was full of s**t

With Bielsa, we are a Premier League quality club by definition as we currently are. We will need very little to survive relegation next season. I say that because watching us play was the nearest thing to watching a Premier League team in this division all season. Our team is quality. I agree with...

Having said that, I'm kind of delusional about the Foreign Wonderkid model. Years of playing Football Manager - sell all the senior players, buy all the wonderkids, build a dynasty - make it seem a little easier than reality.

11th Sep 1976 THFC 1 (C.Jones) LFC O Crowd 34725. Can't remember a thing about it. When Leeds got relegated - I was only 10 - I took on Villa and Spurs as my surrogate teams. It want my choice, my mum bought me shirts that were on sale. Villa won the Euro and Spurs were the FA Cup team with Ardiles...

First game watched on telly: 1972 FA Cup Final with reception going in and out on a B&W TV at midnight Sydney time (7 years old) First game live: Pre-season 2019/20 Leeds Utd vs Western Sydney Wanderers So basically every time I've watched us live we've won silverware that same season!! Did you...

All have their advantages like you said Aging superstars: Zlatan is over the hill. Cavani would be great but it won't happen (someone will pay much higher wages than we can) Championship players: We should have Dan James already. The idea of signing the next James, Maddison, Maguire, Stones .... But...

Starter: Absolutely - would be a lock in and part of the future

Would pay £30 million max. I don't want us blowing the bank again like we did in the past

We should be looking for strong prospects overseas in the 10-20 million range. Quarta was a good player that's been talked about

Rating: 9+

Keep iproving the infrstructure of the youth set up and filling it with the best youngsters. That's the way forward, especially with FFP. For the same reason, I'm happy with sending out McAlmont, Gotts, Edmondson on loans with the hope they'll take the next step. Last years championship players will...

Did that come from a good source? Because I really don't see it. They just lost Lovren, which mains they need to had some depth at DC.

Sice he left, and is coming back, wouldn't he have to pass a medical?

The break probably hurt us more than anything. Promotion looked a certainty when the break happened. Then a couple of games after the restart, we'd drawn at home to Luton and Brentford were right on our tails. I think it was a neutral reset for everyone. But, I believe, if the break hadn't happened ...

Living the dream. Except I can't just jump on a train to go to games any more

Villa for Grealish?

Decent in the Prem but neither spectacular, probably talking £40mil plus for 1.

Yeah, I'd definitely take either of these over Grealish. Half the price or less.

Had a little read on Jonathan David myself. Its very impressive given his age, i imagine many of those bigger names were a similar age then and David is significantly better then all but Lukaku. He looks relly impressive from what I've seen so far. The drawback for me would be the fee - 23m. If you...

David looks like a really good player. He's not a striker, although he can fill in there. He's more of a No.10. I'd be happy with either him or Almada. They'd probably have to split with Pablo in the first season, although Pablo can switch between 10 and the wing. With Corberan going to Huddersfild,...

Yeah Great job Harry

Here's an analysis/scout report on Jonathan David, for those wanting to know more https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/jonathan-david-201920-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics Been reading a few reports this weekend and David looks really good. Almada looks good in same position fr...
