With Bielsa bringing White in it must mean that Aapo Halme is going out on loan. White is for the first team where Aapo Halme got to last season, so Bielsa must want him out on loan to give him more experience. Hugo Diaz has been released which means on Pascal Struijk as a CB for the U23s and Halme needs more than another season in the 23s. We also have Liam Kitching back from his loan with Harrogate so maybe he and Struijk together. O'Connor given a free transfer and looks like he se with Nessy
If we sell Phillips to Villa we will pass Kalvin on his way down as we go up. I say this because its now been confirmed Villa are under formal investigation under FfFP. They lost £51m last season but under the 3 year accounting cycle they are well down. Amazing that both teams in the play off final are fkg cheats. It turns out that a few weeks ago Villa sold their stadium for £56.7m to themselves. Derby sold theirs to the owner and actually declared a profit for the first time in years. Birmingham got a nine point deduction, Derby will g more this season and Villa could get 12 points deducted firing them straight back down
Looks like I was right about Aapo Halme as he is having a medical in Barnsley ffs. Seems Bielsa prefers to sell him and already released Hugo Diaz so love to know what the plan is
It’s official, Shaun Harvey has been terminated at the #EFL. The man who gave us the Caribou Cup draws at 4am, clubs not fulfilling fixtures, record financial losses, Checkatrade Trophy against Premier League kids, clubs selling stadiums to themselves & Ken Anderson is no more. please log in to view this image
Isn't this a formality which should be expected? His leaving was announced some time ago, so this is just formal paperwork, is it not? Must be honest, I got momentarily quite ecstatic when I read that he had been terminated. Guess I read too many spy books, eh?
To be fair I would have probably supported that statement before Phillips excelled in his new role. I'd be gutted to lose him
Unfortunately I'm not a sad individual who bookmarks comments and retrieves them years later to prove my point. I'm going on what I remember happened when Viera was sold and the typical reaction of a certain section of supporters at that time. A player can play out of his skin for most of the season, have a bad game or two and supporters call for his head. Utter joke. We had the best season in fecking years and there are still people moaning before even a ball has been kicked before the new one starts. I trust Bielsa and I'm waiting to see who we have bought and sold for the start in August before I comment negatively or positively.
Sod that. Bamford will get 26 next year, Costa will rip the Champipnsjip a new one, Phillips & Jansson team of the year partnership at the back and the mighty Leeds going up as Champions. Did I miss anything?
I didn’t rate Phillips when he first came into the team. Thought he was dreadful. I think I was right... he was dreadful. Some saw a talent I couldn’t see. Fair play. Now I would be really sorry to see him go. I always liked vieira, but his passing was hit and miss, needed time to develop. Phillips more important to this team at this time.
