People will point to saving wages if Harrison is sold. No leeds will not save as the player coming in will want paying championship wages. Saying that he is the one i would sell.
Right now we have a shed load of wingers because YEP raving about Poveda. Lets be honest Poveda has all the talent in the world but no pace and not much end product. He had a few good games for Blackburn, then last season a couple of good games for Blackpool and even Big Mick refused to pick him, so just get rid. We have 4 prem quality wingers so something needs to happen and I hope we keep Sinisterra and Dan James. Summerville needs offing, Harrison? All these wingers in a Championship squad seems overkill
Cantona was a bad boy when we signed him. Lots of quality players out there if you know where to look.
With Rodrigo leaving we should definitely be in the market for an experienced Pablo type creative player. Anyone remember Samuel Siaz ? Well someone like him (not actually him) who gets you off your seat would be good.
Summerville is a great player with a lot of potential but we all heard the stories about him wanting to leave last summer, we saw Marsch say he had words with Summerville to get his head on football and not on fast cars. Last week I read a report in Dutch media about Slot trying to take him back to Feyenoord but the board said no and not at the £15m Leeds want for him. Apparently he upset the dressing room and a few big arguments with senior players, a fight and being suspended from training. So that tells me all I need to know. Sell him and Poveda We have Gnonto, Sinisterra, James and Harrison which is still overkill
Keeping those 4 plus Joffy, Joseph, Rutter and the much maligned Bamford would virtually guarantee promotion. Harrison will go though of that I’m sure and it’s probably just a case of him getting over his injury before he moves on.
If we can keep Sinisterra and Adams we should smash it this season. Have a feeling Harrison and Gnonto are going as we need some cash as don’t think these 2 have loan clauses, plus cash for Summerville
Strong characters like Summerville are what we need. A dressing room is no place for shrinking violets in a team aiming for promotion. That’s why keeping Adams is important too. Add Cresswell to the mix and you have three players who aren’t afraid to lambast anyone not giving 100%. Gnonto another one who would be great in that respect. It’s time to get a few leaders in the team.
Heard a story yesterday that FARKE doesn’t fancy Cooper and with Aylings shocking underperformance makes you think it could be time for Coops to go. If half the squad are former U23s it could mean a vice captaincy for Cresswell as he led that lot with distinction. If Adams stays he should be skip but Cresswell backing him…
More games in the Championship but played with less intensity. Add in that we should be able to dominate possession then we might just have better luck with injuries than in the PL where we were forced to try and recover the ball against much quicker and better players.
Morning all. So looks like we’ll break the 100 point mark this season. Love the idea of a stress free season at last
Maybe see how we start the season giving Farke plenty of time to assess everyone properly. Cooper could be excellent dropping back down a division or maybe the cronic injury he seems to have will prevent that.
Promotion automatically usually requires an average of 2 points per game. Don't be greedy brother Eire
As we stand our first XI currently looks like ..................New Dramah..Cresswell..Wober..New .............Adams.....Gyabi Rutter.........Harrison.....Sinisterra ..................Bamford I've left the goalkeeper free as it's clear that the club are open to offers and the same at left back with Firpo. I'd also expect another midfielder to come in, a playmaker and a striker. We're not too bad as we stand but there's obviously a long way to go.
FRke told the Leeds board we need to score a minimum of 75 goals for promotion, so that’s where we should start and Bamford aint the answer
