Oh and Wakey, throwing out shyt comments about traitors is bollox mate. Our 23s were shafted last season because of the problems within the first team. They all knew their own plan for developments and it was snatched away from them and were refused football. They were not allowed to play for the 23s so stagnated and the team suffered and were relegated. Drameh said no I was promised football and not getting it. Summerville also tried to leave on loan, Gelhardt wasnt used that much either. So a shyt season for the whole club because of shyt decisions made at board level and the manager. Have you ever been promised something by your boss and then he didnt do it?
****ing hell, I said this last week and got told I was too pessimistic. If the signings are worse than Koch, Bates or Klich in midfield then we better hope Phillips doesn't leave or get injured.
In addition to my previous reply. We were very critical of "Square pegs in round holes" last year. The general consensus was that we need a bigger squad or just a bit more depth. The club admitted the mistake themselves and have started to rectify the situation by 'padding out' the squad somewhat. When everyone is fit we now have two senior players for each position with the exception of LB and striker (as far as I can see). Some transfers work, others don't. Especially when you shop at this level. The players are out there, you've just got to hope the scouting is good.
I'm wondering if they're looking at Hjelde being the LB cover for now. Played a season there in the SPL (Ross County?), & should know what to expect in the PL by now.
Ayling and Dallas won't start the season so they both have to be marked down as (fringe squad players) as there's no guarantee they can play a major part of the season. Dallas might never recover to his full potential from his injury, Ayling was already on the slippery slope so we can't carry players hoping this will/could happen. We were their last season and need to learn from it as it nearly cost us our Premier League place. keep them if we have to but we can't rely on them. I'm a bit disappointed the rumour going around we aren't looking for an established LB. I agree with Forza I'd be very worried if he is still our main LB. I've got nowt against the lad he just isn't up to standard. Give him time some people say he's been here a season and he's never improved, he's injury prone. Can't mark, He's slow and a walking time bomb with yellow cards which means he can't tackle. everything you don't want as a Premier League LB. Maybe a slower paced football country will suit his style more. I really hope the rumours aren't true and we are chasing a LB. I like the 2 lads from RB Salzburg. Roca on paper looks a good signing but I'm worried about how much football he's played of late. but if Munich liked him, he has to have ability they don't sigh shyte. but then again we could of said the same with Firpo from Barca. I would love to see some Premier League proven players next. As on Phillips and Rapha it needs sorting ASAP. we can't wait and dilly dally till the first couple of the weeks before the season starting. they are either with us or without us it's a simple question as that to both players. If they want to stay sign another improved contract to scare the vultures away if they want out let them go but warn them it's on our terms.

Should have been sent off before this, for the assault on Raphinha, playervand club not under investigation, so with the non red card and the yellow, is the ref?
Romano has stated yesterday that Leeds are in discussions with PSG and they believe Kalimuendo is the answer to their striker problems. 12 goals from 32 games is a great result in the top French league. Reports are suggesting Leeds have already lodged a bid for the 20-year-old which is believed to be worth in the region of €20m (£17m). He has been highly rated by the talent scout Jacek Kulig who called him ‘absolutely deadly’ on Twitter having hailed the striker following his hat-trick against the Netherlands at U17 level. However, with just 19 goals to his name in the French top flight, could this be the man to improve Leeds in front of goal following their struggles last season?
