    The majority of Leeds fans feel different to yourself in regards to Wood, Adryan and Antenucci, professional coaches seem to too. I admit I am an armchair fan (like yourself) and from what I have witnessed in televised games Wood was head and shoulders better than Antenucci and there wasn't a midfield player more deserving a starting position over Adryan.

    Wood will start more matches on the pitch than the bench unless we are about to sign a £5m striker which isn't going to happen, you complain there is blind hatred for Cellino, I suggest you look deeper at what Wood offers the team <ok>

    Hey'up Ristac, no malice pal and respect your opinions,

    I know you keep saying the majority of Leeds fans about most things, but I have to disagree, Leeds fans are still split over a few issues, including players.

    There are more than me that realises Wood is not what we need for a serious promotion push, Antenucci had a much better head football wise, and imo was a much better striker that wasn't used properly, but we've had that problem since Grayson fell in love with Beckford and Redders (hardly a professional coach) fell in love with himself and his academy boys. When coaches play favourites, others get pushed to side, irrespective of score as we've seen with Redders, Rosler and Evans.

    Those so called professional coaches are no longer with us, and didn't stay long, reason for that was we weren't doing too well while they were here.

    Redders is out of work after Rotherham realised he was no good, Rosler is out of work since leaving, but has been linked with a lower league club I think, and Evans is supposedly moving to League 1, hardly signs that they set our team on fire, if they did they wouldn't have moved on, would they?

    Adryan, imo, and some other fans was a great future potential for us, if he goes on to become the player that some former great players believe he can be, then we're going to regret it.

    Antenucci was a fans favourite, maybe not with the Cellino haters, but he was a favourite.

    From what I've seen of Antonsson, he scores his goals similar too Antenucci, he uses his head and doesn't get flustered. Looks like he's going to sign and I doubt Monk is bringing him in to be a bit player or bench warmer, same goes for Fletcher and Roofe if we get'em.

    However, I do concede the Championship is a whole different story for the 3 mentioned strikers, like any player, home grown or from overseas, they'll have to prove themselves.

    Which ever way you look at it, we're supposedly going for a serious promotion push, and favo0urite players etc should be playing second fiddle to what the team actually requires to make that push......:emoticon-0148-yes:

    How many times have you seen Wood, Antenucci, Adryan and Doukara play? Not on the TV, actually in person

    You seem to forget that it was Cellino that dumped Antenucci so guess he agreed with the coaches.
    As for Adryan, I refer you to my earlier post <laugh><laugh>

    Don't be a dipstick all ya life..<doh> Cellino has his over 30 policy, which I disagree with, but he has it. That leaves the two mentioned goalies out the equation.

    Seems Elland thought our first signing would be a player not a suit too!

    Whatever, looks like a few months in Dave's Dubai Bootcamp wouldn't go amiss - built like the old Peter Kay
