Good Morning Everyone,

Due to a power cut at Griffin Park yesterday, Leeds were unable to complete the signing of Stuart Dallas.

But fear not folks, they have put another 50p in the meter, and we are all set to announce a new Dynasty at Elland Road, Wingers!!!

Sources at Elland Road say we may not have finished yet....

Cellino is back in England today after a break in Sardinia, and rumour has it, he could yet finance a further arrival.



Tommaso Bianci underwent knee surgery at the back end of last week, and will be out of action for the next six weeks.

His latest problem is less serious than the cruciate knee injury that ended his season last February, and the Italian is keen to get back on the pitch :-

“I want to stay in Leeds,” he said. “This year we have more experience, especially the international players.

“The first year was difficult – getting used to a different culture and the type of football.

We understand how they play football here in England now. It’s better for us. I think we’re going to have a very good season.”



At the end of last season, if you knew we would be in the position we are in now, both on and off the pitch (infrastructure and squad), would we be in better or worse situation, than you'd have imagined?
 
Good morning to Matt and co on my wedding anniversary 34 years where does time go .Its bright and sunny who do you think we are going to sign Buckley?
Yes another wide boy all change for the better I think and yes I believe a top 6 finish is well within our grasp look at what Brentford did last year all we need do is get consistent

Not forgetting that Max Gradel had a medical last night at B/Mouth and will sign today kerching £1.4m for us thanks. That cash pays for Dallas or a n other.

Very optimistic right now and being sensible should show me that I'm fooking stupid and should calm down. You know things are on the up when Eire feels good about ER.

Morning Mike, a lot of it is about attitude, and I believe Pearson will have to babysit Cellino to keep him in check. Events of the field have, no doubt effected performances off the field in seasons gone by.
 
good morning from Florida
I have also read Bianchi`s interview, and like Matt this one sentence caught my attention
“The first year was difficult – getting used to a different culture and the type of football. WE understand how they play football here in England now. It’s better for US. I think we’re going to have a very good season.”
He uses the word`s WE and US, is this the injured six?, was there a split dressing room, and who would you take as the gang leader.

Morning Doc, see if you can transfer a bit of that optimism to Glory lololol....
 
Morning all,

Very happy with the signing of Dallas... And if the rumours are true I hope we sign another wide man.

Looking forward to Saturday now! I'll be taking up my new seat in the Bremner suite!

MOT!
Morning Double D's

Bremner suite, yer posh git!!!

Envious pal.

Morning Rusty, you alright pal,

I was thinking the same thing....
 
Yes everything is ok just bad case of insomnia or pre season nerves, always get home sick at this time of year.
Mighty pleased with Rösler, he can talk a good fight, and seems to be very professional
More new fresh young blood coming through the door, but I hope he does not forget about the academy
 
Rusty I was trying to make the same points yesterday regarding a new season for the international contingent. Duke played well at the weekend and I think Sloth will get to show his International credentials this season and even Sylvestri is trying to learn how to dominate the box and he had a decent first season. The new signings mixed in with the likes of Cook, Mowatt, Byram, Taylor and a revitalised Murphy, and competition for places at the back should mean we do some damage for a change

Watching vids of Dallas, he should fit in really well, cannot wait for this heavy metal fußball from Rösler ,
 
I just hope we hit the ground running this season. A couple of decent results would work wonders. My fear is a slow start and Cellino getting rattled, Cellino needs to see that his back room appointments are working.

We know he isn't a patient man, I just fear he could have a tantrum and usher them all out the door. Dallas and anyone else possibly joining now will need a week or two to settle in, I hope Cellino gives this new set up some time.

I agree 100%, I can see us looking really fast and positive going forward, I just wonder how we will cope on a fast counter attack, especially if Silvestri keeps coming out his area.

Not sure if anything's been announced yet but I'm working in London and one of my guys is a Wall fan and told me they have Morro back in the fold? Guess it's a loan move but hope we are not subsidising his wages
