Good Morning. It's Tuesday 29th March, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Radrizzani holds trump cards regarding Raphinha's exit Leeds Utd hold all the trump cards relating to Raphinha's future, whether it be at Elland Road or elsewhere next season. The Brazilian ace has been heavily linked with a Summer move to the Camp Nou. If the rumours are true, has already agreed personal terms with the Catalan Giants, even though he has over two years of his four year contract remaining. Barcelona see Raphinha as the perfect replacement for Ousmane Dembélé, who will depart in the Summer, leaving a big void. Obviously, with finances tight, they don't want to part with more than what they can get away with! How can Leeds play hard ball? Barcelona need Raphinha! He is that missing piece of the jigsaw. The longer the saga goes on, the more desperate Xavi gets. Also, Raphinha will already have one eye on the World Cup which starts in November and can't afford to be frozen out by Leeds or left on the bench to rot. This would be a risky strategy but would certainly throw a spanner in the works for Deco who may be plotting behind Leeds backs. Daily Mirror journalist has also denied rumours this morning, that the 25yo has a buyout clause in his contract, unless of course Leeds are relegated. please log in to view this image Leeds to target Aaronson and Garner in the Summer Phil Hay believes Leeds will renew their interest in RB Salzburg Midfielder Brenden Aaronson this Summer, and may also target James Garner too. Garner, 21 is a product of the Manchester Utd academy since the tender age of nine. He has played in every England age group from the Under 17's and is an exciting commodity. The central midfielder has enjoyed rave reviews from the City ground where he has spent this season. Aaronson as we know is an attacking midfielder, and actually played under Jesse Marsch during his tenure with the Red Bull outfit. Sources from Austria claim the 21yo is keen to join Leeds in the Summer. According to Hay "The intention is, or certainly was, to bid again for Aaronson. He’s interested in the move, he’s played under Jesse Marsch before and Salzburg are likely to be more open to bids in the summer than they were in January. It’ll be interesting to see who Leeds target. James Garner, the Manchester United midfielder who’s on loan at Nottingham Forest in the Championship and having a very good year, is someone I’ve heard mentioned recently." please log in to view this image Giant bucket angers Leeds faithful Leeds fans have taken to social media to express their anger following a Press leakage that a giant marble bucket is to be unveiled at Elland Road to honour former Manager Marcelo Bielsa. Whilst the 66yo Argentine was famed for sitting on a bucket in the dugout, most see the gesture as disrespectful and lacking class. please log in to view this image
Morning all. Is that really what the club had planned when they said they would install a permanent tribute for Bielsa or has 1st April come early this year ?
If this is true then I have to say there is a complete lack of understanding and respect from the club for a great man
JM needs to knock on Rads door and tell him to stop all this Raphinha drivel, put them cancerous agents that are slowly but surely going to drain clubs dry of there resources to the sword. Tell Phil Hay to fck right off and keep away from LS11 period. The main objective is to stay up this season and if Raphinha is not wanting to be a part of it he needs to be treat accordingly. If, and I do mean if Bamford injury was apparent and the medical staff knew then that is inexcusable and the head of the medical team needs replacing as soon as this season is over.
a bucket ffs, may as well put a costa coffee cup there...he may have run his course at the end but if that's really the best they can do for his development of run of the mill players into champions and a great first season back in the prem well it's piss poor....the bucket should be filled with piss and whoever thought of the idea should have it poured over them
Victor holds his head in his hands, Andrea shakes his head slowly from side to side. “Angus… you clown… how did you forget the fckng coffee cup?!?!”
Rob Price said: "As all of the stats show, Patrick has put his body on the line for Leeds United for a number of seasons, he has played with a plantar fascia injury for the last 12 months and despite treatment and a prolonged period of rehabilitation, the injury has progressed from a partial tear to a full rupture. "As all sports medics know, injuries to the plantar fascia are notoriously difficult to manage, but all concerned are confident that he will make a full recovery from this injury in good time,"
