The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 6th July)

Young Sean McGurk is about to sign and should be having a medical now or first thing tomoz. This is another outstanding talent from Wigan so Gelhardt will know him well. 18yo attacking midfielder and has played first team for Wigan. He goes straight into the 23s

Matt Cunha will not be joining Leeds according to the players agent. He said Victor had spoken to him a month ago but Berlin were wanting £30m so Leeds have not been back in touch. So now down to 4 wingers Madueke, KK, Lang and Cornet

 

Rodrigo looked a hell of a striker at the back end of last season.

Gelhardt looks the real deal. I want to know if he can handle the step up.

I'm not sold on Sam Greenwood just yet. He can strike a dead ball but I don't rate him in open play.

I'm still adamant that Bamford is a poor footballer but to be fair he has forced me to shut my mouth after his last season. Hopefully he can improve again.

 

Looks like Victor Orta is a superstar and knows how to get a deal over the line before other top clubs even moved

 

I think we will get to see the likes if Drameh, Summerville, McGurk, Miller, Greenwood and Gelhardt in pre season games

 

That's my point ref bamford if anything he is a 10.

 

Orta is just class

 

Ruis is on the bench for Spain tonight.Llorente that is.

 

Just another two to eclipse Merckx. If he doesn't get a knighthood from this I give up.

 

Not ours mate, its marcos llorente from Atletico madrid.

 

Diego is ours?

 

Shirt numbers of note for the new season:

• 3 Junior
• 19 Rodrigo back with his fav number he has had everywhere else
• 10 Raphinha…… I wonder?

 

There are two

 

Bielsa thinking of playing Raphinha in the 10 and have a new winger perhaps? Interesting

 

When talking about Firpo, Balague said: “When he was at Betis he looked like a very happy, brave full-back who went forward very often, in a team who were playing three at the back.”

“It really suited him. He defended decently but attacked much better. He’s been incredibly professional the entire time. I think the managerial instability didn’t help.”
Attacking football is what Marcelo Bielsa lives and breathes. It’s a brand of football he’s used ever since walking through the doors of Elland Road.

You don’t suspect that will change anytime throughout the remainder of his reign at the club.

As a result, Firpo can be a fantastic signing for Leeds United under the stewardship of the Argentine.

His attacking thrust is unquestionable and would be a welcome addition to a side who are bonkers in the final third.

 

Yeah Mate Raph has been training in the 10 kit so looks like he's owned it on return.

 

Yes mate you are right.
