    I thought it was Rodrigo, Llorente and one other who approached Cooper as club captain to relay their concerns

    I just hope this is lazy journalism otherwise we’re going to end up with a complete squad assembled from the MLS and any team that starts with RB

    According to Transfermarkt, the Whites are interested in signing Philadelphia Union left-back Kai Wagner, who has emerged as one of the best in his position in the MLS


    Firpo flop
    Part of the MLS All-Star team in 2021, the 6-foot dynamo could be quite an upgrade for the American head coach at Elland Road.

    Across 104 appearances in Delaware, Wagner has delivered four goals and 13 assists, averaging a direct contribution once every six games, which is a pretty respectable return for a full-back.


    Meanwhile, the former Wurzburger Kickers ace ranks favourably compared to his peers in the division. He is amongst the top 3% for key passes (1.88 per 90), top 4% for passes into the final third (4.35 per 90) and top 4% for goal-creating actions, so whilst he may not always get an assist, he’s evidently a threat in attack.


    Also via FBRef, Wagner is pretty solid defensively, having averaged 2.43 blocks and 9.61 ball recoveries per 90, too.

    His arrival in west Yorkshire could finally allow Marsch to axe struggling first-choice Junior Firpo, who has often looked lost down that left flank for the Premier League strugglers this campaign.

    The former FC Barcelona man ranks outside the top 11 of Leeds’ best performers and has often been criticised for his inconsistent performances.

    During a thrashing by Manchester City, Firpo’s defending was described as “schoolboy” by ex-goalkeeper Paul Robinson, whilst the Mirror’s David Anderson dubbed the £10.8m-rated flop a “liability” to GIVEMESPORT recently.

    Didn't this Wagner thing crop up before the Brentford game?

    It went quiet on that front after we stayed up so I assumed we had moved to another LB target

    Barcelona have given up on Raph as they can't afford him and turned their attention to Angel Di Maria

    3 players have signed for them but cant be registered due to La Liga salary rules. Christianson and Kessie signed on frees plus Sergi Roberto signed a new contract. Its a joke. Xavi has so far told 10 players to look for clubs, but also have massive earners like Memphis Depay, Frenke De Jong, Ousman Dembele and more to get rid of for cash, but Dembele will leave for free and save wages. This club is propped up by huge debt into over a billion. We went under because of a fishtank

    They managed to mug us off to the tune of £10m for the useless Firpo so we’ve done our bit to help them.

    Speaking of Firpo, anyone see the story about his wedding. He streamed his wedding on Saturday live on insta, and some Leeds fans crashed it to speak to Raphinha and asking him to stay. Loads of Leeds players were present on-line watching the wedding, even Dan James from the welsh squad and Leeds fans asked him to go and Rapha to stay. Sure Mrs Firpo enjoyed her wedding day <laugh>

    Funny about Raphinha but out of order with James if he was actually watching, no need for that.

    It's how Barca works. They go for the best who they can't afford. Unfortunately they don't have the Spanish Royal family bailing them out unlike Real Madrid

    The Daily Mirror believes that Liverpool are interested in Phillips while multiple outlets are saying Liverpool will be offering cash plus Minaimino for Raphinha

    I always blame orta and to his credit he takes it well. Jesse has done his job keeping us up.
