    Good Morning Everyone

    Leeds Utd's centenary home kit has been revealed.

    It's a traditional all White (suppose it had to be.)

    They've kept the same badge which we've had since 1999 but have added a platinum trim celebrating 100 years.

    BPF modelled the keepers kit, which to me looks fantastic. Not too sure of of its practicality on a cold February's evening!

    What will his mum say?

    There were no appearances from Casilla, Roofe or Phillips!

    Thoughts?





    If Villa go big on Phillips, and we're talking over 20m, would you accept?





    Following his release from Chelsea, Gary Cahill is a free agent. The 33yo central defender's representatives have already alerted Leeds to his availability!

    Thoughts?




    I know the Jansson thing has been done to death, but try to make head or tail on Jansson's reasoning for choosing the bee's!

    Jansson on Brentford: ““My ambition is to play in the Premier League but I didn’t want to sit & wait for the right club in the PL to make an offer later in the summer and let this chance [to join Brentford] pass me by. I felt early on Brentford was right for me.”




    Hadi Sacko’s rumoured move to Denizlispor has hit a stumbling block regarding the fee!

    Perhaps Denizlispor thought Leeds were going to pay them 1m to get rid of Sacko?

    Morning all...

    I like the kit, I wouldn’t sell Philips for £20m I’d just give him his pay rise, if there was a better replacement for less who Bielsa has identified then that would be different. Sell Forshaw and give his wage to Philips.

    I’d guess deep down Pontus is gutted it was only Brentford that showed interest but he would be digging a grave for himself if he said anything else, we’re all different, I just wish Bielsa could have handled him different.

    Who hasn’t asked their boss for time off, they say no you get on with it, it doesn’t stop you trying. Cahill would be an expensive luxury would he not?

    I’m not concerned if we replace Casilla, Roofe would be tricky to replace at the fee being mentioned, I’ve said my bit on Philips but yes, concerns are there that they’re not featuring on the kit promotion

    Morning Ell and all. This time of year I try not to get too drawn into things as so much is just rumour. However, I still can't get my head round the pontus fiasco. I get why he has gone if Bielsa not happy but the fee seems pathetic and his comments about wanting to play in the premiership don't really stack up with Brentford. With all our other CBs out the door there must be a cunning plan in place which might resolve the crisis. I friggin hope so and for now I will trust this to be the case. If on the other hand no decent CB or prolific goal scorer is signed by the close date I will start to panic. Don't think cahill is the answer either.

    Morning all. We only want players who want to play for the club, if they want to play somewhere else they should be sold.Commitment is necessary.

    Good Morning to Matt Doc and co from a dull Bardsey
    Well we threw out the kitchen sink yesterday as well he will be joining Forest Green
    Our moto will be will the last man turn out the lights!
    The board are thinking of selling the name of the club to something more appropriate Loco United is the favourite one for me
    Cahill would cost to much and is 34
    PHILLIPS and Roofe will be gone soon I wonder what they will fetch
    We still have 2 loanee vacancies because I don't believe we will actually pay for anyone
    So a striker and a defender

    Whilst I agree in principle, I put myself in their shoes. Take Philips, you’ve done great for the club, you’ve not cost a transfer fee you’ve played 46 times last season and they offer you a new contract.

    You see it is less than Bamford who cost the club 8m he probably had a signing on fee and he played just 22 times.

    I’m just using this as an example, I’ve no idea what wages were on offer but you must look around your team mates and think I’m as important as them, I want paying the same

    Morning all.

    Sorry Ristac, but Bielsa handle The swede different?? I think it’s the turnip head who shot his big ego and mouth off once too often, do that with Bielsa and it’s the door, plus this will have gone through the team and reminded them of discipline.

    Morning all. Weather great, golf clubs dusted and back in action and my holidays a week away. The crap at Leeds is the only negative on the horizon so have reached a point where I dont give a toss who comes or goes anymore. Well likrly be back to mid table mediocrity for our centenary season and I am well used to that. FFP is the new fancy term for a club being broke but seems to keep many satisfied

    No exactly a punishment though it it.

    Go to a Championship rival and earn twice as much as you were earning?

    Let him rot in the reserves until we get a decent offer for him.

    One question I'll ask all of you.

    If Jansson was playing in the second leg of the play offs v Derby at Elland Road, would we have won?

    Let's remember:-

    Coopers mix up with Casilla

    Cooper giving away a pen

    Berardi getting sent off

    Morning all.
    Just briefly on the subject of players wages and differentials, before we condem a player wanting more money or parity with team mates maybe we should ask. "What would I do"
    All this playing for the shirt etc is all well and good in an ideal world, but the likes of Radz will try and get away without paying anything if he could. Also ask the question is Radz playing fair with some of our talent or just using LU as a shop front.
    This worm is getting ready to turn back into a doubting Thomas, still don't trust the guy.

    For what it's worth I think we would have won.

    Morning all,

    If money is as tight as it appears we should offload Casilla, if anyone is daft enough to take him, and put his £35k per week wages towards improved contracts for Roofe and Phillips.

    im not going to search for it but when you were swapping Rads for Cellino (both Italian people I knew much about) I did say you will lose all the crap lawsuits and **** that comes with mafioso Cellino, and your club will be far better without,,,But Rads does not have the Cellino's money,,,

    you all wanted the change.
    and here you are <ok>
