Well well well, more problems in Turkish football and betting EUFA will be lenient as usual. In a cup game between teams I can’t even begin to pronounce, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The club President of one club and his minders came onto the pitch and punched the ref to the ground. His minders then beat the crap out of him whilst on the ground breaking bones and a lot of damage. All Turkish football was postponed, but not for long. Greek football was cancelled last weekend due to serious fan problems in the previous matches especially around Athens. Police are sick and tired of being injured trying to keep rival fans apart.will EUFA do anything because you can bet if it had been over here we would be banned from European comps. Turks and Greeks mixed up in trouble, well I never. One of the problems with Farkes lack of a rotation policy is that some players will never be match fit. Just my opinion, but when he has players coming back from injury he breaks them in easy which makes sense but with players who never get a go he says nothing. Jadon Anthony only started once but done a few games off the bench, but Illia Gruev a Bulgarian international gets zero or a couple of minutes, when is he ever going to get matchfit? Was he a bad buy, or has he a bad attitude or just ignored? Think my point was proved on Tuesday night. Last season LEFT BACK Leif Davies scored 4 goals and had 14 assists, this season so far he has 9 assists from only 20 games. His club 10 points clear of Leeds. We also got rid of Niall Huggins and we saw how he performed against us on Tuesday night. The club must surely be stupid if we do not go out and bring in a good left back next month. Marsch got rid of 2 of the most promising left backs in the country and left us with only Firpo who hasn't really been fit since he arrived. Charlie Allen, Diego Montiero, Darko Gyabi, Lewis Bate, Sean McGurk,, Leo Hjelde, Sonny Perkins, Mateo Joseph Fernandez , Chris Kleassen, Charlie Cresswell. Do the club have a plan for these lads as they ain’t going to just sit around and maybe play a bit of U21 football. We have recently sold Leif Davies on the cheap and allowed Niall Huggins to sign for Sunderland, 2 very good LBs even though we have no LBs at the club. So the plan for kids got screwed up recently and it would be nice to know if we have a new one these days. The Perkins loan has been a disaster and needs terminating, but what then? We saw what happened with Cody Drameh and we also allowed young Max Dean to join MK Dons last season and he’s now scoring goals, yes we have other strikers but young Max has massive potential and yes we have a big sell on clause, but strange decisions made when Marsch came in so hoping we have sorted it. The most hilarious bit of football news this week was Wayne Rooney saying he is pleased that Tyler Roberts is back in full training. “he’s a player I tried to sign when I was at Derby, so know there’s a player in there, we just need to get him on the pitch” hahaha In the news: Charlie Taylor to Leeds, Archie Brown to Leeds from Gent. Djed Spence to be Leeds new LB. Aaronson back to Leeds from Berlin. The strangest story though is that Bournemouth and Leeds want to terminate agreements for Sinisterra and Anthony as neither loan has worked with both players not getting enough game time.
Anyone interested in the future should have a look at our U18s who are down at Norwich KO at 5pm you can watch it here and we get to see young Pirie who’s on the bench but will play the 2nd half and looks like Charlie Cresswell is playing. https://www.youtube.com/live/rwfcUPc1u80?si=JTtp7REooI2QA-UM
Hopefully, Aaronson's agent is working as hard to get him another loan, as he did when he bailed out in the summer. I believe the club would have to agree to have him back, as it was a season long loan with no recall, they'd be mad to even think about it.
Its Alfie Cresswell and hes a greedy little fker, but Leeds one up early on and some decent prospects including young Alfie
International loans can be terminated during any transfer window, by either the player or the club he was loaned to, even if the loan is only 6 months into a 12 month deal, unlike domestic loans, where both clubs have to be in agreement. However we would have to be compensated financially, but we cannot refuse to inter grate him back into the club, unless of course we can arrange another loan for him.
With Aaronson's stock falling further during his loan spell at Union Berlin it's hard to see any other alternative to him ending up back at Leeds. Most likely that will happen in the summer when it becomes clear that no one is going to offer anything like 100% of the money he was on in the PL with us. Union Berlin will have to pick up the tab this season but after that it will be down to us, although if we don't get promoted he will have to suffer the contractual wage reduction.
Norwich 0-2 Leeds Utd. Some interesting kids on display. Charlie Crew possibly best player on the park and young Cresswell a good CB (funny that) his captain another CB even better. (trousard) the kid Wilson up top a real handful and scored a Beauty. The kid Pirie is different gravy. Most of these kids were 16/17yo
Nice one Doc. Certainly looks like our Academy attaining Category 1 status is now starting to really pay off. Unfortunately though the Matthew Murray inner city site has been scrapped, which is a shame as we could have worked much closer with the local colleges and the University from a city centre location.
Jeez there are more stories on the Jadon Anthony going back to Bournemouth as not happy getting no game time and Bournemouth wanting to swap Sinisterra and send him back? What are peoples views on Sinisterra as I know we were all loving having him back and looking like he was staying……. Yes it could all be all bollox and jungle drums usually start with a made up story, but we have guys who live down that neck of the woods who may have hear something. Bucks & Elland for a start?
Just can’t see Sinisterra coming back, he threatened the club with legal action so he could leave. Can see that Jadon Anthony might want more game time but it bloody annoys me that players don’t just work harder to play better and take their chances when they get in. Also Bournemouth didn’t want him so why would he think he’ll play more there. More I think of it the more I think it’s bollocks.
Yeah makes no sense to me either, but it’s all over the place now. I know Andoni Iraola wasn’t happy about Sinisterra not been fit enough to play when he arrived and he had already got a big problem with Tyler Adams after spending £24m on a player who is still not fit. Sinisterra was supposed to be a starter but has only started one game. If Leeds are really talking about recalling him it must follow that we are offloading someone? Where does he play wing or 10? Just makes no sense
If there is any truth in the Aaronson and Sinisterra stories, could it just be the club wanting to get them another loan to somewhere where they play and have some decent performances which should increase their value or at least not go down in value?
Sinisterra has played for us and Bournemouth this season, so can't go on loan anywhere else, so he's not coming back, Antony probably came here expecting to be a starter, the form of Cree and DJ have scuppered that, I'd imagine he's not happy sitting on the bench but pretty certain his time will come for game time.
Prutton not holding back at calling Farkes remarks about Sunderland parking the buss as rubbish. Heres a bit: The Sky Sports host, writing in his column for the Yorkshire Evening Post (16 December) labelled Farke’s remarks as “rubbish” and “inaccurate” and claimed that Leeds United are in for a long season if they can’t find a way past teams who are going to defend as Sunderland did. He’s right though because we are struggling to find a way through and tend to go backwards a lot…..
Nothing rumbling down saaaf mate. A few Bournemouth fans have liked what they have seen of him, so the usual why isn't he starting, he must have a bad attitude comments flying around.
