Good Morning. It's Thursday 11th January, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Burnley open to offers for Welsh star Burnley would be open to cashing in on Connor Roberts according to an article in the Daily Mirror (so it must be true). Rumours circling around Elland Road suggest the 28yo is keen on a move to West Yorkshire having fallen out of favour at Turf Moor. The majority of his eight starts this season occurred much earlier in the season, and if truth be told, his form was awful, affording him a miserable 6.00 Whoscored rating; but at least he'll be fresh. The 28yo was one of the first names on the Clarets team sheet last season, but has failed to even make the bench in recent times. He's close friends with fellow Welsh International Joe Rodon. This should at least make his settling in period easier. If a deal is to be done, it will happen quickly. Burnley want to reinvest in new players, and the clock is ticking...... please log in to view this image A massive gamble It's looking increasingly likely that Connor Roberts will be a Leeds Utd player before the end of the month, but is it a calculated gamble worth making? The 28yo was one of the first names on the Clarets team sheet last season, but his form has undoubtedly dropped since then; he's even failed to make the bench in recent times! Farke will be pinning his hopes that Roberts will rediscover his mojo, and help Leeds to a top two finish come May. Should Leeds be setting their sights a little higher than a Burnley reject or will Farke unearth an absolute bargain? please log in to view this image Leeds remain keen on Cherries duo Daniel Farke remains keen to sign David Brooks and Chris Mepham from Bournemouth this month according to various reports in the media. Leeds were initially also interested in the services of Kieffer Moore, but with Bamford back on song, and although he too is Welsh (a requisite for this transfer window), it is believed the gaffer is no longer looking for a forward. Mepham 26, operates as a burley centre back. At 6ft 4 and 88kg, his physical strength and aerial dominance would make him a strong contender for any Championship outfit. With Cresswell and Cooper being linked with moves away from Elland Road, Mepham would add both experience and stability to the Leeds ranks. He has 44 caps for Wales. Brooks is a playmaker, a position that Leeds have had problems filling since Pablo left for sunnier climates two and a half years ago. His creativity and vision would make a strong signing for any second tier club, so we shouldn't be surprised that Southampton are also in the mix. Brooks is 26, and can also operate on the right wing. He's made just two starts this season. please log in to view this image
I watched some of this on twitter yesterday, I didn't think I could dislike Jesse any more than I did, he is a complete fool When he joined Leeds he was told he had an 84% chance of relegation but he decided to join despite getting offers from teams challenging for Europe
He didnt do himself any favours. Just like when he was the manager, he could talk the talk, but actual walking the walk totally clueless..
I think, the 84% chance of relegation is all newly promoted teams in first three years. He was in year three so the chances were less and he spent a fortune. Simon Jordan pulled him up
Hilarious. Mind you, wouldnt have minded his paycheck from that shower of **** time he was in charge, along with the payoff he got. Clueless one way to been rich the other..
He really is a complete bellend. Not really beating off the offers of a job it seems, probably thinks this puts him in the shop window.
