The Breakfast Debate

Good Morning Everyone,

Bailey Peacock Farrell has penned a two year deal at ER.

The 19 yo told the OS:-

"I`m delighted to commit my future to Leeds for another two years,"

"It`s a massive club and it`s a great privilege to be a part of it moving forward.

"I was never in doubt about where I wanted to be or where my future lies. It was just about getting the final pieces sorted - now it`s all done."

I'm always dubious of people signing two year deals. It was at this time last year that Lewis Cook signed for two years. A year on, we are now terrified that he is going to leave in the Summer or lose him for next to nothing.

Thoughts?


Should each club have a quota of homegrown (literally) players that have to play each week, even if that number was as low as three. It would mean that English clubs can weed out overseas crap that has somehow made its way to our shores (because its cheap!)

Who would you pick up?

Rotherham have released an entire ex Leeds team....

 

Blimey, look at some of those goal keepers that have been released from the Prem :-

 

Morning Elland and all. Length of contracts don't worry me as they are worthless pieces of paper where clubs concerned. Still good to see a few young ones signing yesterday, hope they all turn out to be world beaters. I see England have kicked off their Euro campaign early

 

Morning Eire, yes, heard two England fans sent home for fighting...

 

Morning all.

 

Wotzup Boggers

 

Lucy Ward finds out her settlement today having won her sexual discrimination & unfair dismissal case v #lufc last month.

 

Not much Elland. I doubt we could afford too many of the released players, but maybe Monk can persuade Cellino to do a deal for ad DAM or an attacker.

 

Come on, own up. Who's Simon involved in the trouble in Marseilles?

 

Derby released Warnock,surely not,according to Glory he's still a world beater lol

 

Michael Carrick just extended his contract at MU

 

Jeez Elland, didn't you have nothing to do for a couple of days....

I'd be grabbing Becchio, would be good for our promotion push. He'd be eager, enthusiastic and pushing to prove a point, plus, he's a work horse.

 

There is a few players I'd take in that list but not as many as normal

 

You back home already Thought your euros might have lasted longer than that Chesh

 

I'm sure Becchio would love to come back to Leeds, but is he fit enough and young enough to deliver what he did before he left us?

 

... No

 

I've heard the knackers yard have made enquiries

 

No

 

Thanks for that Forza. If true, we clearly wouldn't be putting in a bid/pursuing him

 

I hope not Boggers we don't need Rotherham's cast offs, same goes for the other five ex Leeds players they're getting rid of (if you include Jerome Thomas)
