Good Morning Everyone Liam Cooper was not risked for the Swansea game as a precausion. The 26 yo skipper felt a twinge in his leg, and Bielsa decided not to take a risk on him. It is unknown whether he'll be fit for the Norwich trip. Bielsa has revealed that he took Phillips off after 30 minutes of the Swansea game as he feared he may be sent off. Kind of makes sense. Oriol Rey is being linked to a return to Spain. Spanish outfit Deportes CMM report Rey is wanted by Segunda Liga side UB Conquense. It is unknown whether its a loan or permanent deal.
Good Morning to Matt and his posse from a slightly sunny Bardsey I know WJ says Bielsa says we don't need another CB but we do if we are going to get promoted and an enforcer would be a good addition as well Villa got their man from Lille ahead of us and are now going to sign Bolasie from Everton S trikes me that Villa really don't know what their strongest team is and what about Fair Play rules McContract is still getting 40k a week for nothing! In the league Brenford have started of strongly and so have Bolton We have now been linked with Reece Oxford another up and coming Youngster
Morning all. I'd definitely take Reece Oxford leeds60, he'd add a bit of height to the team too. We seemed to be massively lacking that against Swansea.
Reece Oxford looks like a goer according to a couple of places/ This kid struggled to make a breakthrough at WHU because of Collins? Well Collins has been released and as far as I know is still available on a freebie. The kid is a great prospect though and think would be good for us
Morning all, Reece Oxford would be a great signing and could offer the cover for both Mids and Central defence. Are we still on the search for a Winger too? Have to say I find it hard to understand how Aston Villa are able to trade as they are. Bolaise must be on close to £100K given his huge transfer from CP, hopefully he is not the player he was after the injury as he would ghost past players at his peak. Need to have one of Pontus or Cooper back for the weekend. Fingers crossed we pick up Oxford and Forth and we can have some options in the centre. Will miss the weekend as I am at Big Feastival, enjoying the worst weekend of the summer in a field!! woohoo. Free booze all weekend will make up for it. MOT
Good morning Matt & all Just goes to show how we are short on recognised centre-backs though, the disrupted rhythm of our style of play due to round pegs in square holes probably cost us two points
According to reports Leeds have accepted a bid for Pontus from Russia ? https://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/pontus-jansson-nobbade-jattebud-fran-ryssland/ if true Saiz will be next
Looks like the Wednesday results went our way, with only Bolton making an impression on us by going joint first, but with a lower GD. Friday sees Boro v WBA, that'll be interesting.
I believe Bielsa believes in small squads to bond the players better unlike Villa who just go out and get 2 more midfield players where he will play them will be a mystery he already has Houriane and Grealish etc and an abundance of attakers
Evening Eric. The story that is breaking is that according to the Swedish press (Expressen), Russian club Krasnodar tabled a £5.1million (60million Swedish Krona) offer accepted for Jannson in the Summer, but the Swede did not want to leave Leeds.
I said recently there is a problem with Pontus and so the only surprise to me was they agreed a fee of just over £5m for a world cup player are we skint?I think he is worth at least twice that
