Good Morning Everyone No sooner was the ink drying having completed the signing of Barca forward Rafa Mujica, than yet another signing emerged from Camp Nou. Guille Amor, son of Barca legend Guillermo Amor has joined on a free transfer. The 18yo will go straight into Mark Jackson's development squad! It's good to see that our scouting network are busy picking up young talent, but I can't help but question why players with so much potential likle Halme, Diaz and Wilkes have been shown the door so quickly! Obviously, not all players are going to make it, and I'm sure mistakes will be made along the way Ollie McBurnie, released by Leeds when he was 15, as he was deemed too small. netted 22 times last term. He is now set for a big money move to the Premiership. On the flip side of the coin Nicky Ajose, a highly rated winger we picked up from Peterborough has just been signed on a free transfer by Exeter City. Are Leeds fringe players good enough? Do the following players need replacing with better talent? Forshaw Dallas Roberts Berardi Leif Davis Which youngsters from the U23's do we expect to see break through this season, and at who's expense? Garry Monk and his agent are being investigated by his former club Boro! The pair are accused of deceiving the club to the tune of millions of pounds! Boro are investigating a host of transfers completed while Monk was manager. They fear Monk's dealings were not protecting the business interests of the club. Its a real shame that Leeds are not doing the same with O'Leary!!!
Update on Jansson. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/f...s-Jansson-pre-season-training-transfer-update
Morning, Tyler Roberts is a great talent who will prove to be much more than a fringe player in this coming season. In my opinion
Morning all Anything that's happened this Summer is because Bielsa wanted it to happen and when it comes to players leaving we need to accept its because Bielsa has decided he wants to play a certain way, or he doesnt like the attitude of certain players, he looks at the 'group' holistically to make a team from an aray of jigsaw pieces. None of us can second guess him and maybe things will become clear at his first presser. I still cannot see how he can let Wilks and Diaz go but I dont have his eye or experience, so again I will just let him get on with it. I have to say that the kids coming in are better than top notch and some of the babies are already training with the U23s and some of the new U23s are training with the first team already. Players from the U23s to make it will be Edmondson, Kun very soon and Mujica a front 3 to do serious damage. I also see Jordan Stevens either making it or going out on loan to gain EFL experience for next season return to ER. Clarke Odour is a very quick winger, Bogusz and Liam McCarron will be there before long too. Wilks needed to prove he was a better player/prospect than Edmondson, Kun and Mujica and we forget that the highly regarded Sam Dalby may also be sold on too. Wilks has a season and half of EFL experience behind him and won rave reviews at Doncaster, but is he able to do Bielsaball? Leif Davies will be a baller and will stay and learn and maybe even learn a new position. Roberts will be given another chance this season, but for me Dallas, Forshaw, Berardi need moving on. There's talk that Costa will be taught how to play No10 as Bielsa has twice done this with flying wingers who then scored plenty of goals and created loads. He's also then able to completely change tactics and formation fast which we couldn't really do last season. Such a pity that the dick Saiz didnt want to play Bielsaball because he has been given 11 days to find a club or report back to TA. Makes you wonder how he would have fared last season under Bielsa.
That Saiz thing shows how ridiculous player power has become. He could report back two stone overweight with a bad attitude and we still have to pay his wages. Very wrong in my opinion. Any other line of work, hed be sacked and rightly so
This is in now way a criticism of Bielsa just a bit of fun. Which players do you think may have improved and done a good job but were released/sold etc. Coyle Wilks ideguchi Cibicki Halme
Good Morning to Matt Doc and co from a dull Bardsey Are the rest of the team jealous of Pontus with his adoration from the fans I wonder but we need him at Bristol Of the players you mentioned Matt Davis and Roberts should be given another chance Monk has now 2 clubs baying for his blood Brum and Boro seems that Steve Gibson sees anomolise especially over the sale Of Fletcher at £6m over £5m over paid for him
I suspect that's a rhetorical question Doc. All did well on loan, well except Ideguchi who did his cruciate ligament or similar but was doing OK until then. If the man thinks we have better then I'm not the person to disagree but a couple could have been given a better chance, IMHO
What do all those players have in common/ They all were not given the opportunity to show what they can do on the big stage! You can add De Bock to that list.
To be honest I don't know how many he started, it felt like a lot but I suspect it was a bit like banging your head against a wall the pain stops but you lose count.
LDB has even struggled back in Belgium and didnt play as a starter in many and was usually a sub if he even got in the squad, so proves not good enough. As Eric said Ideguchi was doing great out on loan and if you remember this time last year Klich and Ideguchi were brought into the main group after showing well in training. Bielsa chose to keep Klich and loan out Ideguchi. Cibicki has played every game for the 2 clubs he was loaned to and has scored goals and created goals and has proved to be one of the best players in Sweden right now.
so just a quick re cap you have brought in a decent winger, you have no goalscorers roofe and bamford no goalkeeper Harrison crap back other unknows white or something Pontus and Phillips leaving deffo relegation your form after spygate was terrible and your squad is now weaker ?
