I sometimes wonder if you watch Leeds. You certainly don't watch the u23s or u18s if these comments are anything to go by. Take your first paragraph. It's clearly a claim that we should have retained Clarke, Halme & Oduor. You must be the only 'supporter' that thinks this. * Halme presented an ultimatum to the club. No player is bigger than the club. Are you saying we should have kept him on the bench this year as a backup CB? Or do you think he should have been playing in the first team? He'd never trained far less played as a DM, so he would never have been cover for Phillips. Forshaw was. McCalmont cover-in waiting. * Clarke. Really? Selling him is the best bit of business we've done in years. We even brought him back on loan (which totally undermines your initial argument) and he failed to shine. That's an ironic remark, btw. A light has to be switched on to shine, and that's not something you could say about him. Struggled to get a game in the u23s. * Oduor. FFS, getting desperate now, aren't we? If he was so good that you thought he should be retained, perhaps you could share with us the multitude of games where he displayed this. Good luck finding them, btw. More chance of finding the holy grail. And yet you'd rather we retained him? For what? FFS, I give up on you. Captain Jackboot now seems more rational than you & he should be in a straightjacket.
We play many players in different positions, Halme plays defensive midfield for Barnsley, are you saying Bielsa isn't good enough to spot that but should play an attacking midfielder there who can't defend. Clark Odour MOM against WBA not good enough for you to think he could have been good. Do tell us who are the massive amount of U23s who are championship standard, as I've not seen any. If a player wants to go Barnsley for a pay rise, you think they are such a massive club we are not able to say no ? There's very little loyalty with footballers, how many of our team would want to leave for more money ? Every player we've been linked with apparently wants to come Leeds, how come they haven't ? because there clubs said no, just like we could have, should have, we are supposedly building a team, but we aren't we are selling every player we can.
He bases his personality on the SNP guy Blackford and thinks if he shouts the loudest it makes him right, but like Blackford, no one takes any notice.
Fine, Matey. Over your way Feb 8th. You'll need to come visit our hotel (all inclusive, so free beer!). It's the San Antonio Spa down close to the bus station in Bugibba. If my wee pals are there, FFS, don't try to out-drink them. Well, not at your age! I personally can't cope these days. This photo was the last time I was out. We'd been on it since the afternoon & this was us stocking up for the bar closing at 12. ....
Jock would be nice mukka im at st pauls bay 5 mins from san Antonio we must go for a ruby in Grannys ?
Hate to tell you this, but it's Corberan that coaches the u23s, not Bielsa. He's got enough to do with the 1st team. Surprised you know so little about our club for someone with moans so much about it. I'm still waiting to hear why we shouldn't have sold the other 16 whose sale you objected to.
That's strange as him and you told us he works with up to 35 players a day, is he training another team as well as us ? or were you lying to embellish your story at the time. I didn't say we shouldn't have sold the other 16 players, you just made that up, it's called Jock bullshit, I said we should have brought some replacements in, as we've got no fooking players Do you have imaginary friends who are Leeds squad players.? It would answer a lot. Lol
Can't imagine me posting anything like that with you, OSD. You seem to like our club & talk sense! Chesh used to once upon a time. As for Thorpe Arch, if you drive out from Wetherby towards Walton (Thorp Arch trading estate), you turn right immediately before entering Walton (watch out for the 30mph speed cam!). The prison is signposted, and it's a few hundred yards along Walton Road, on your left. That's where you park. You then walk up the steep-ish hill just over the road & simply follow the crowd to what ever pitch is being used (it varies). Happy to accompany you if I'm going too. Just let me know. One thing - you'll be exposed if it's bad weather. You'll be standing on grass & there's no cover or seats. u23 fixtures: https://www.leedsunited.com/news/academy/25243/under-23s-fixtures-announced u18 Fixtures: https://www.leedsunited.com/news/academy/25246/under-18s-fixtures-announced
Deffo! Last time out with Mrs WJ, we ate almost every meal there. Brilliant! Will pm you a reminder closer to the time.
I think you'll find that Doc quoted Bielsa on the 35 players thing & you objected to whatever he said about it. Bit of a pattern developing. Are you Clivetime in disguise & trying to hide it by just moaning about everything instead of specifics? Certainly looks like it. Just for you, a summary of some Academy basics, that everyone else appears to have grasped..... u23 101: Every season, clear out those that you don't think will make it with the club to make way for u18 promotions, new u23 signings etc. u18 101: Ditto, but replace u18 with u16 etc. u16 101: Ditto, but u14s for u16s etc. u14 101: ..... You got the picture yet? Every club discards players they don't think will make it. Sometimes you get it wrong, like we did with David Seaman.
No he said it then you explained how he works with up to 35 players a day. 1-were you lying then. 2-were you lying recently when you said he only trains the first team. 3- were you lying both times as its a compulsive thing.
