The Breakfast Debate

Good Morning Everyone

Huddersfield will face Reading in the Championship play off final on Monday 29th May

The dog botherers won when Forestieri failed to convert his spot kick.

Sheffield Wednesday should have bought more strikers!!!

Seriously though, they have four of 5 top strikers at their club. How can they afford to keep going?

Why have they not come unstuck under the FFP rules?





It is expected that Bellusci will stay at Empoli on another season long loan until his deal expires at Leeds Utd.

Probably for the best?





Looks like Leeds want to keep Sacko!

Thoughts?





Oxford are interested in signing Lee Erwin. Leeds deem him surplus to requirements after a spell at Oldham

 

Players out on loan

Botaka released so no cash from him.
Murphy
Bellusci
Erwin
Dave
McKay
If Bellusci stays in Italy we make zero from him but dont have his wages, Murphy should be worth something but will Burton buy him, Erwin was never going to make it so zero for him, Dave will be a freebie to Ipswich but what about McKay on loan in Scotland?

The players we brought in are a mixed bunch. Barrow & Grimes were garbage so a waste of wages, Big Alphonso I would have back, Sako not sure but seems we want him, Bartley would love him back, Jannson we need to finalise this deal as he on paper is back with Torino

 

Lots of comings and goings this week but we obviously screwed up with some of the kids as they are get released. Finishing a bad bottom of the U23 league shows how weak we are. Yes this new league benefits bigger squads as a reserve team whereas we are used to academy teams up to U21 standard, but we need a plan for the kids, we either have an academy or we dont? Cellino and Bates have decimated our brilliant much copied academy model, but replaced it with nothing

 

Morning all

 

Morning chaps. Re released players and loanees gone back, deals not finalised, virtually non existent academy, It feels like were starting all over again, not for the first time. On the plus side, Im really enjoying the teams beaten in the playoffs and reading smug tweets from their fans from a week back when they were sneering at us. Are Wednesdays strikers really top quality? If they were, surely theyd have managed to score against us and score more than one goal in three and a half hours against Hudddersfield?

 

I wouldn't keep Sacko tbh, his crossings aren't the best and he tends to take on 1 man too many, he's got lots to learn yet. We need a winger who can not only cross, but also knows when to put it across the edge of the penalty area around the D.

We lack shots on goal, and on target cos we kept playing the ball mostly down the wings, more balls towards the D would generate more shots and increase our chances of scoring.

We also need one or two attacking mids who not only have a good shot on'em, but also know when to make defence splitting passes.

Last season we lacked strike power and midfield experience, or midfield domination.

Not really surprised it's Hudders v Reading, I mentioned the playoffs have a habit of springing surprises.......

 

I hear Mooy from Man City (aka Huds) is available to buy. He would add a lot to our team

 

Good points but they need the supply too.

 

They only managed to score three penalties from five last night. Maybe manager should have had all five strikers on for last five minutes although Forestieris was poor

 

no surprise here iv said for months Hudders will win the playoffs and when elland put up the odds I said Reading were worth a shout at 5-1
I'm glad its them 2 both have prem standard stadiums not old relics like the other 3

 

Good afternoon Simon, I thought Liverpool purchased him. Perhaps you're right.

 

Leeds have paid the first installment to Torino for Pontus Jansson

 

Afternoon pal. Could not agree more. I put money on Reading.

Will ask FIFA to confirm but essentially, Leeds see no reason why Jansson's permanent transfer on a 3-year-deal will not happen in July.
