Hearts v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Heart of Midlothian v Leeds Utd
Sunday 30th July@15:00 | Tynecastle Park

Leeds conclude their pre-season tour, with a 500 mile round trip to Edinburgh to face Heart of Midlothian on Sunday afternoon. Confidence will be high following their heroics against Nottingham Forest, as Daniel Farke makes last minute tweaks, in preparation for the season opener a week on Sunday, with the visit of Cardiff City.

Tyler Adams, Jack Harrison and Stuart Dallas are all long term absentees, whilst Junior Firpo and Cody Drameh are both carrying knocks. Crysencio Summerville picked up a concussion against Monaco last weekend, and as a precaution, missed the midweek victory at the Pirelli Stadium.

Sam Byram and Pascal Struijk both have the versatility to replace Firpo, whilst Luke Ayling and Jamie Shackleton will fight it out for the No 2 shirt. Sam Greenwood was pictured with his foot in a space-boot cast, though little is known about his injury, or when he'll be back. Illan Meslier looks set to play his final match for Leeds, before being allowed to leave once Karl Darlow arrives.

Cresswell and Cooper played well together at centre-back, which should allow new recruit Ethan Ampadu to bolster their weakened midfield. Assuming Summerville is over his concussion, Leeds have six wingers to pick from (Rutter, Sumerville, Gnonto, James, Sinisterra and Costa). As usual, Bamford will lead the line.

 

And Poveda.

 

I think we might be a little bit light on choices out wide.

 

He’s vying for the number 10 shirt with the new Buendia

 

Not long to go now lads. No, not today's respective jog outs - I mean the real thing next weekend.

Today, you've got Scottish Premier League side Hearts and we've got EFL League One side Wycombe - probably about the same standard of opposition eh?

 

Wycombe will be good experience for you for next season

Yeah, I know that's fightin talk but we won a game this weeks - which means we're invincible.

You you guys still have that transfer embargo because of not paying that £15m transfer?

 

Paid it all now but still under embargo this summer. Will be OK for January when Tan has promised a £100M war chest.

 

I hear your Chairman was taking legal action against Nantes. Is that still the case?

 

Yeah - that's where the £100M is coming from.........

 

You won't be able to spend 100 million without penalisation by the efl.

 

We're appealing that to Plaid Cymru.

 

Yeah, didn't think of that

 

Doesn’t matter. Ffp means nobody can actually pay money for a player or sell one either. You must give them all away

 

Don't you go bigging us up spunkhey them scottish clubs, are as good as the prem they keep telling us.

 

Leeds uniteds discount shop for players. Open every day for takeaways.

 

How dare they kick off at 3pm on a Saturday it's a disgrace.

 

So it's tomorrow then.. Just shows how much notice i take of pre season games.

 

Me either. Saw your earlier post and thought oh maybe I'll watch it this afternoon. Just logged in to find out you had misled me

 

Summerville at 10?
