    motleedsnews on Kristensen

    Too good for the Championship

    Relegation from the Premier League is always a tough bullet to bite, especially for a club the size of Leeds. But Kristensen was one of their star players last season, with an impressive three goals and an assist – applaudable from a right-back in a struggling side.

    Hopefully some of you are now realising how good some of our players actually are and when you add in all the U21 talent it's an absolute travesty that we didn't have the right coach to make the best of them.

    Ultimately that was down to Radz for sacking Bielsa and Orta for not having the right candidate to replace him.

    Our players that seem to be in demand are;

    Kristensen
    Drameh
    Koch
    Llorente
    Firpo
    Adams
    Roca
    Harrison
    Gnonto
    Summerville
    Rodrigo

    Please take note that there are 5 defenders on that list from the team that conceded the most goals in the last 2 PL seasons.

    One of the worlds best Under 21 midfielders mate, madness to let him go. No way will Mourinho, Klopp or Pep even consider us if we are letting talent like that slip through our fingers.

    Lord only knows why Arsenal weren’t in for him, could have done a deal involving Oodegard and they wouldn’t have had to shell out much.

    I blame the owners, the future owners and their grandchildren, it could only happen to us, what a **** show. How the **** do these idiots make their billions? <whistle>

    I've seen the light. They're all in demand because they've improved since the end of the season without any managers ruining them.

    Or maybe its because they're cheap?

    Radz doing what the 49ers should have done and made a statement to the fans by signing Pirlo as the new Samp manager. Seria B side gets Pirlo, championship side gets FARKE? Must have paid Pirlo a lot but straight away the Samp fans are loving Radz and now have high hopes. We still don’t know what the hell is happening here and the players are back at TA in a few days

    Pirlo I’m pretty sure was a ****ing disaster in his first coaching job, the new Italian Frank Lampard maybe <ok>

    Lost 8 games out of 52, won 2 cups and finished 4th in serie a before being sacked. Maybe as coach of Juventus you would expect more, but not a total disaster either

    We may end up keeping Kristensen as Roma are refusing to have an obligatory buy clause next summer. They want him and will pay his wages and a loan fee but want to then send him back. Llorente this time has a guaranteed £8.5m buy agreement on top of his wages being paid and a loan fee. So unless things change Kristensen stays unless someone else comes in for him. For me he’s well suited for the Championship….

    I’d keep him and Drameh he can be an emergency CB and let Ayling go. If however we need to raise funds, Kristensen can go without having much of an impact on the team

    Why would we have to raise funds. Aren't this lot poised to throw 400bn at the project. Wouldn't make sense

    We’ll still need to make sure we are within FFP rules, we need some new signings, I don’t see the point in paying wages on three RBs
