Summer window

momentum is massive is football, and at the moment we are full of it

 

Mental that a £100m+ Real Madrid player is kicking about cleadon

even more mental that a future £200m Real Madrid player is with him

 

This. SAFC have always been a force with momentum behind us.

 

Very much this. We are a club on the up and it feels like it's been that was since Roberts scored that goal at Hillsborough

 

So... stefan johansen next?

 

My Leeds supporting colleagues are not so confident. They want Farke not Vierra. And with new owners and no manager yet with the transfer window open have they got a plan? If we were in that position we'd be going nuts.

 

Not getting raving reviews from QPR saying he's past his best

 

To put it very mildly.

 

Problem

 

Same here I thought 3 maybe 4 incomings to cover weak areas but we've done that already and the players we're bringing in are genuinely exciting. Makes you wonder what we've got lined up for the business end of the window.

 

The club is night and day away from what it was three years ago. We still had Parkinson trying to justify getting beat or scraping a point against League One ****e all while ostracising the most talented player at the club from the squad.

I love the direction we're taking towards this, its enjoyable to support us again.

 

No I wasnt, see later post. I coach primarliy u21 now. U18 last year. But I coach junior kids by invite for local academies. I have known heads of junior football for years and sometimes I get asked to help a group. I have coached for prem and championship clubs.

Small sided games are fundamental. It is not true to say those who are good in small games cant cope in big games. That might be true in your team, but it would be an anomoly. The evidence supports small sided games producing better players. Futsal is massive, as is 5 a side old school. Any kid playing on big pitches before they are 15 will stunt their talent in my opinion. Being able to run and jump is not how modern academies judge players.

Ths point is, irrespective of age group, technique trumps all, including athleticism / agility / physicality. Football is a brain game, not a stamina or phulysicality game these days.

In the morning at 9 I will run an u7 soccer school for an hour. That is my own session. At 11 I am with an academy with u14s running sessions on patterns of play in a 4/6 combination, by invite. People might be surprised at similarities in both for a coach. I hate posting about this sort of stuff, but bottom line I have been coaching for 10 years plus at a pro level. I have never been asked to be a physical coach, or agility, of stamina, but always a technique and tactics coach.

 

Strap yourselves in folks...

 

I get their frustration, they’ve just been relegated but the reality is they have numerous players that’ll get bought for large fees plus their parachute payments will allow them outspend probably all bar Leicester. They’re in a better position than at least 21 of the clubs in this division. It’s really in their hands how they go about the transfer window. They still have some very good players and I can’t see them ALL leaving.

 

More than 1 tomorrow?

 

The social media side is very much on point these days.
