Good Morning Everyone, We are two games into the season, and I'll be completely honest with you, I do not have a clue who our strongest starting XI are! Are other clubs in the same position as us? How do we think other clubs would view the signings we have made this Summer? Would they be jealous, or would they point the finger and mock? Late last night it was reported that Rotherham and Leeds had agreed a fee for Kieren Agard. The 24 yo winger is keen to join the Whites, and it looks like he'll have his way with a fee believed to be in the region of 1m agreed. Do we need any more signings? Looking at the bookies odds last night we were (on average) 3/1 to get relegated and 14/1 to go up. With the amount of transfer activity we have had, surely they'd be no way we would go down???
Morning Elland. You can forget the relegation word anyway. Not a cats chance in hell. Refreshing thing about our signings for me is the age profile. All seem to range from 20 to 25 years of age. Most only approaching their prime and all would have resale values if they don't work out. Cellinos plan for promotion within two years seems to be well on track. Can't believe I'll be working away tomorrow and will only see a recording of the boro game. Whatever our best team maybe, hunt isn't part of it and hope he's not in squad tomorrow. I suspect he won't be
Good morning to Matt and co from a hazy Cote de Bardsey I didn't realize Matt that we had actually agreed a fee for Agard I think this will be financed by Byrams sale I expect that for later next week as Berardi will be suspended for the next 2 games at least Will probably need another right back to cover Sam hence Hock said a couple of signings My team for tomorrow Silvestri Taylor cooper pearce byram Agard Bianci Doukara alose Sharp and Smith
Morning Eire, imagine if Hunt starts tomorrow Surely everybody must feel the same way. Why don't the crowd turn on him, like they have done with so many others?
Morning all you hairdressers and Eire. Can't wait for tomorrow, I will try and get an early night, but I'm like a kid whenever I go to ER and won't be able to sleep. I'm not even going to try and name the team for tomorrow, I'm just going to wait and see. I still think it's going to take a few games to gel, but I'm feeling a little bit more optimistic. I hope Sharp has a good game, he comes across as a sound, decent, hard working and honest player. Taxi collects us at 4.15 am ffs I CAN'T WAIT.............LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS.... PS...Morning Leeds60...
Like the intro Shaks have a great one tomorrow, I'm mad jealous, can't even see it live on the box ffs, bloody work
Cheers Eire. Hopefully you can make the Fulham game, I can't commit yet. If I can win 50 euros I could at least book the flight and then worry about the rest later. 3 of my lads are over, the eldest is going mad because he can't go, you can imagine the slagging he's getting...
Morning all. Like the look of your team 60. Only problem is, Doukara is probably a better forward than CM and Sharp may not be match fit yet. I think we also need some steel in midfield. So I'd swap Doukara for Sharp. Put Sharp on the bench, and stick Austin in CM. Cook will also qualify for a place on the bench, as will Poleon and Mowatt. If the Agard thing goes through and the other CB is done, I really think that's enough for now. The Hock needs to establish his best XI with 5 good subs pushing hard for a starting place. All in all, its great to be a Leeds fan at this time of the season for once. No dodgy chairmen. No questions over selling our better players leaving us short. No iffy signings that "can do a job" or will help the squad but aren't good enough to start. What fun.
Besides Billy Sharp we have bought nobody of note, unless you are a Italian 2nd tier football observer or a L1 and L2 football league anorak. I believe every fan from every club in the championship will be sniggering because although we've brought in 10 new players they will have only heard of one of them. I think we are assembling the most fantastic squad and I like the way we are going about it, however I have reservations about our coach and his mate because they have never dealt with so many good footballers. Hock needs to find out who can do what and put the jigsaw together in an effective way. Hunt and Morison need to kept away from the decent players, and we need to start playing decent attacking football and getting results. You need to start right now Hock because the clock is ticking and you are the weakest link. I hope you are able to do what you tell us you can do, because not seen any evidence so far
Morning all (and haidressers assistant Shaks) ... some good points made (thanks again elland for our morning fix) ... Mike your team looks a lot better without Hunt in it, and our only hope is he pulls a hammy otherwise I fear he will be in the squad tomorrow ... Doc you are correct about the weakest link, so let's see if Hock can step up ... I'd love to see us win well tomorrow, but its going to be a really tough game, this Boro side have settled under an excellent coach ... can't see us going down, but then again seeing as we'll only be a match for most teams when we get it right, it may not be impossible
Morning all! I'm getting rather excited too Shako I may even treat myself to one of the new away shirts as soon as I get down there!
SQUOTE=leeds60;6903549]So have a bet on NOT getting relegatedwhat are the odds?[/QUOTE] 1/10 seems about the best. only you and the estate are rich enough to make it worthwhile. Start saving you are coming to the Fulham game.... You and WJ can share a taxi, lots of drinking.
Cooper has been brought in to play on the left side of the two center backs, another words its Pearce or Cooper who play alongside Bellusci. My Team v Boro: Silvestri Bryam Bellusci Cooper Talyor (But think Warnock will play) Bianchi Austin Murphy Ajose Sharp Doukara Think they should give Boro a good game
Cellino, when compared to Ridicule, Papa Smurf and whoever it was from GFH, is an absolute saint by comparison.
