    Good Morning. It's Monday 18th November, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

    Leeds ready to pounce for Liverpool starlet

    Leeds are ready to reignite their interest in Liverpool starlet James McAtee, with Arne Slot believed to be amenable to letting the 22yo out on loan in the New Year.

    The Whites enquired about the England U21 ace during the Summer, only to be told he would be staying at the Etihad. With just over 300 minutes of game time under his belt this season, the red side of Merseyside are keen for him to gain more first team experience, even if it does mean dropping a division.

    McAtee has the versatility to play wide on the wings or as a No 10, which is where Leeds see the most value. He spent the last two seasons on loan at Bramall Lane, but with Gustavo Hamer firing on all cylinders and already having five players on loan (the maximum allowed in a matchday squad), its unlikely they would come into the equation this time around!

    Wober completes 90 minutes for Austria

    Max Wober completed 90 minutes of game time for Austria, his first outing since undergoing knee surgery at the beginning of October.

    Despite remaining benched (domestically) for the last three games, Austria Manager Ralf Rangnick threw the former RB Salzburg defender straight into action, and wasn't disappointed! He even contributed to the only goal of the game as the 'Wunderteam' ran out 1-0 victors over Slovenia.

    His return to fitness has come at a good time for the Whites. With three games in six days, not to mention a hectic Christmas calendar, being able to call on the versatility of Wober, especially when Junior Firpo is suspended for the next two games, is reassuring!

    Has Farke got top flight credentials

    With odds continuing to fall in favour of a Leeds Utd promotion, the club will want to take a long hard look at their Manager, to figure out whether Daniel Farke is the right man to lead the Whites in the Premier League.

    Under Farke, Leeds has shown signs of improved team cohesion and player development. His style of play, which emphasizes pressing and possession, might be adaptable to the Premier League with the right squad adjustments.

    Many believe he would have earned another shot in the top flight if Leeds go up, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's the right man for the job! Their options will be plentiful, but only if they reach the promised land of the Premier League.

    Morning all

    Farke - If he is coach at the start of next season, it means we have been promoted.

    He isn’t the right man for the PL though

    Morning all,

    Wober will return from international duty with a ‘niggling’ injury which will keep him out till the January transfer window.

    Forget him.

    Morning all. He's likely not but we now know from our last foray in the promised land, Farkes probably as good as well get. We attracted some load of rubbish after Bielsa

    Did anyone see the amount of coins, lighters and other debris around Karl Darlow's penalty area during the Turkey v Wales match.

    The Turks are absolute animals.

    Morning all,
    Victor Orta has revealed in an interview that he turned down the chance to sign Gyorkeres for Leeds for 14m€ as he didn’t think he was worth that money.

    I think you give Ell too much credit.

    Sometimes, although rarely, you might not be the dumbest in the room.

    IF we get promoted (big hurdle first I know) the board need to be bold and attract someone before the preseason

    It’s much easier to attract someone then with a transfer window, preseason and level playing field than being in a relegation dog fight

    Still ongoing isn’t it? I don’t pay too much attention to the international games but I know Tanaka is playing for Japan in China tomorrow.

    Anyone sent a thank you letter to Sky for giving us an extra day after the Internationals?
