Breakfast Debate The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 15th September) - Winger has played his last game for Leeds

Post by Ellandback1 »



Good Morning. It's Thursday 15th September, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road...


Winger has played his last game for Leeds

Football journalist Dean Jones has insisted that Dan James' time at Leeds Utd has come to an end. James, 24, never quite made the grade at Elland Road following his £25m move from Manchester Utd last Summer, and packed him off to Fulham on loan twelve months later. Although Leeds are believed to have received a hefty loan fee from the Cottagers, they are expected to make a loss on the Welsh International, especially when you take into account the sell on fee Manchester Utd have.

This isn’t looking for him to improve. This is looking to get him out of the squad, so I think Dan James and Leeds, that story seems to be over now.




Threat of relegation caused LUFC hierarchy to cancel end of season party

Due to the threat of relegation last season, Leeds did not hold their traditional end of season dinner, nor did they hand out a 'player of the year award'. The first team squad, and coaches, did however receive a bonus of £48m for staying in the top flight, with the majority of the hand out going to the senior players. If truth be told, and injuries aside, most players under performed, begging the question whether they deserved the bonus, just for doing their jobs!

Leeds didn’t hand out a POTY award last season or hold their traditional dinner. They decided that because relegation was so much of a threat, awards weren’t something they wanted to get distracted by. Unusual, but in the circumstances you can see why they felt that way.




Leeds set to be hit with hefty JKA payout

Elland Road journalist Phil Hay has revealed that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is still in the process of calculating how much of the £18m, Leeds should pay back to RB Leipzig for the services of Jean Kevin Augustin. Although expected, this will come as a major headache for the Leeds Utd hierarchy; who were hoping to avoid payment, due to a loophole regarding dates their lawyers had found.

Having spent what seemed like an eternity chasing Che Adams, Leeds finally turned their attention to JKA, and with only a few days of the Winter transfer window remaining (anyone else feeling a touch of daja vu), agreed to take the former PSG man on loan, and make the move permanent should the Whites win promotion, which of course they did. Unfortunately, JKA turned out to possess as much talent as a dead tortoise, and within weeks, regretted their decision. According to Hay...

The last contact I had from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was on July 5. The email indicated the award was “being drafted” and said: “It is not possible to predict how long that process will take, so at this time we are unable to advise as to when the final decision will be announced.” Since then, no further news. As for Augustin, he’s at FC Basel in Switzerland.

One Orta error after another in other words... What funds the club have had available have been decimated by his frequent blunders. That includes all his duff La Liga signings which were overpriced and came with extortionate player salaries. Rodrigo, Llorente and Firpo are costing the club about a million a month in wages, and at least one of the three is always injured at any point during a season.

One might ask how Orta retains his position and no doubt astronomical salary for being such a failure.

All the decent signings in the summer were down to Jesse due to his previous RB experience.

As for paying out £48m in bonuses as a reward for most of the players underperforming last season - it just shows how obscene the money is in football.

THIS THIS THIS THIS ^^^^^^ I'M ALLOVER THIS ^^^^^^ :tup: :clap: :clap: :clap: :tup:

Shouldn't this flop JKA be our man if we have to pay up ?? I don't understand the rules and regs?

48m ??? How did they arrive at that figure?

And yes, who the hell is holding Orta's feet to the fire, i'm of the opinion people are scared of him, he's an utter failure everywhere.

And if we lose money on DJ, how the hell do we still have to pay scum ??? Shirley that's only if we sell on for profit ??

But probably another of the clowns magnificent bargaining tools, the daft gormless fcker.

I'm not an Orta apologist, but I think you have to give him Sinisterra.

DJ was 100% Berts in my eyes, but Berts not responsible for going getting him and his contract, he hasn't the time, that's the gift of the gab clowns job, which he fcked up 3 times !

I can imagine Bert watching DJ play against us for Swansea and probably thought....' that kids got some effort and speed in him, i could use him, instead of cheesebiscuits, Grot, JKA, and all the other gormless bastards this clowns got here'

We don't know, but what if Bert said ' i could work wonders with him in the championship if you can get him cheap"

We already know Bert had to do a firesale to raise his own cash ffs....Viera etc

It would be interesting to compare and contrast other team’s purchases by their equivalent of Orta.

On the face of it we seemed to have spunked away lots of money over the last few seasons.

If by Radz’s comments that we are a selling club we certainly need to be more successful in the market. Is Orta the answer?

Everyone wastes money on the TM.
But our team isn't any worse than last season despite selling our two star players.

It was Orta's job to come up with 3 possibles, Bielsa and Orta deserve the blame for JKA.

Bielsa was solely responsible for James.

I do think that we are overdue a couple of decent first team players coming through our academy by now.

It doesnt seem the likes of Greenwood and Gelhardt have made it yet, especially when you see other clubs field 19, 20 and 21 yo regulars who have come through their academies.

Chelsea had 6 involved yesterday and Citeh has 3. If these mega rich clubs can have academy products involved, then how comes we don't even have one?!

Because the mega rich clubs keep the cream and sell the rest at a profit to poor relations like Leeds, obviously.

True, but that still doesn't explain why our production line has dried up. It seems all our eggs are on Archie Gray now.
