    Good Morning Everyone

    Bellusci has been told to find a new club by the club's hierarchy!

    And the reason???

    His spat with a small group (of around) 50 pissed up youths who thought it would be amusing to spend the Guiseley game abusing the central defender!

    I'm not saying Bellusci does not deserve it. One incident that comes to mind was following Steve Thompson's dismissal in May 2015, there was an altercation between then Captain, Bamba and the Italian.

    Bellusci thought it was funny that Thompson had been sacked; Bamba lost the plot and chased him all round Thorp Arch, unfortunately not catching him.

    Has Bellusci been a trouble maker in the past - yes!

    This was two seasons ago though!

    Has he kept his nose clean since coming back to ER - yes!

    All that I am saying is that Bellusci should have been given a last chance imo.

    Agree or not?




    Should players (such as Bellusci) be booed?

    If you pay your money, should that be your choice?

    Or

    Should you get behind your team no matter what?

    Thoughts?




    Saiz is set to FINALLY become a Leeds player today. Ezgjan Alioski, better known as Gianni to set to follow.

    Gianni is versatile, and can play as a winger, attacking midfielder, forward or left back (but not all at once)/

    Will the ink dry before they get on the plane tomorrow?

    Morning Elland and all. Glad to see the back of both Taylor and Bellusci this summer. Both disruptive in deifferent ways. We move on, lots out there as good or better and we have the money to go get them.of course, a decade ago, we wouldn’t have been aware of any of the goings on without social media

    I've had experience of Bellusci like problems in my working career. Always best to draw a line and start afresh, for both parties

    Wish we had another CB otherwise looking forward to it this season

    Morning all, I felt we were just a bit light at CB before Bartley departed, I was open minded to Bellusci and wondered if he had a part to play, seeing he hasn't and with Coyle out on loan we desperately need to sign someone.

    Pontus is out suspended, we have nobody to partner Cooper, we can't use Ayling unless the plan is for Berardi at RB and Denton LB but a Cooper/Ayling/Denton partnership doesn't inspire me.

    The good thing is Radz keeps everything close, no leaks from the ER side of things so I wouldn't mind betting we have a couple of defenders lined up.

    Tommy said he had to tell Bellusci he had to leave, he said it was hard because he had given 100% since coming back & was doing well. You assume the fans views have won over Radz so they offloaded him. Fans have a right to boo when thye see non tryers but someone who usually gives his best but is booed by a few fans for something none of us are 100% aware of what happened is crap.

    Another big day today with 2 players coming in with Alioski supposed to be one of them. I can also see som eplayers being told to look for other clubs as the Austria trip will only have wanted players going.

    Greene, Roofe, Klich, Erwin are on the plane, so looks like Erwin is wanted but what about Antonnson who fired loads of blanks last night again, even though he scored one. Should have had 6 & Tommy said he was upset at not hitting the traget more

    Bullusci not worth the risk Imo,could have done a job but could have let other teams score if he felt hard done by.Not worth the risk,send him millwall,where all the washed up players go.<laugh>

    Morning all. A solid enough win yesterday. But the fun will really start when the team kick off in matches in Austria. Will be very interesting to see who doesn't go to Austria, as well as discovering whether or not the two Irish lads travel, go out on loan before progressing to the first team, or be moved on

    Stokes only got 25 minutes but sounded like he was putting himself about and was unlucky not to score. O'Conner seems like a good prospect especially as we seem light at the back now, although Tommy has said we are looking at a couple of defenders. Tommy obviously sees the wings as being the best route of attack which means we will be playing some 4-4-2 for a change as well as 4-5-1, but Dallas? Last night we created many chances but Antonnson fluffed all but 1. He got into those positions but will he be here this season

    If Antonsson is lucky, he'll be sent out on loan to get game time. If he's not, he'll be sold

    Morning all.

    Always liked Bellucci as a player and I'll never forget that charge up the field against Wolves when he chipped the keeper, it came back of the bar and then Ant volleyed in the rebound. Ultimately though we lost that game 3-2 as Deaney destroyed Bellucci, Bamba and Wootten at the back for pace. Also that amazing free kick will live long in the memory, though not actually there to witness it.

    Fact is though we are on the up and Rad is quite correct to offload him. Everything and everyone is in positive mode and that's taken a lot of hard work and correct decision making to bring about. It would be absolutely madness to allow one player's spat with a few fans, which in all likelihood would continue to undermine all that progress.

    Morning All

    As many of you will have guessed i'll be glad to see the back of Bellusci and it looks like he's going to Greece. As for should he get booed wasn't he part of the sick note six? If so then he deserves all the **** thrown at him.

    I read today that we're in for some Argentine called Muchacha or something. He's a CB who plays in Chile but there seems to be conflicting rumours about that 1.

    If Erwin is going this summer, bit sad for him but that's the way this game goes. He could go down to Oldam or Oxford and make a success of himself of he could be the Scottish Mike Grella

    Good question but impossible to answer right now.

    One thing for sure is that there will be massive competition for places and all the guys are young and hungry for success.
