Good Morning. It's Friday 19th July, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Auf Wiedersehen Rasmus Rasmus Kristensen is set to undergo a medical later today, and will join Eintracht Frankfurt on a season long loan. At Championship level, the Dane would have been an asset to Leeds; the boards decision to allow him to go out on loan will anger many, and ramp up recent tensions with those who believe the Leeds board are weak and inept. Eintracht Frankfurt have a voluntary option to buy Kristensen for £15m according to Fabrizio Romano, a clause no doubt inserted to save face. There is not a hope in hell that Leeds will complete a deal with any club for that amount, let alone with a savvy outfit like Frankfurt, who only last season stole Robin Koch away for nothing! please log in to view this image Takeover may force Leeds to abandon Bogle bid Leeds are no further forward in their bid to bring Sheffield Utd wing-back Jayden Bogle to Elland Road, according YEP journalist Graham Smyth. The Whites have already had two bids in the region of £4m turned down, by the delay may be out of both clubs control. Takeover talks with a US based consortium could very well put a spanner in the works, and with only 22 days left until the season starts, Leeds may be forced to abandon their plans and look elsewhere. Smyth said: “I wonder if the Sheffield United situation is making it more difficult to get things done, in terms of buying their players. “It’s a bad look for them to agree to business that a direct rival believes strengthens their promotion bid. “But if [Bogle is] not willing to sign a new deal and Leeds is the best offer on the table, they might just end up deciding to take it. This takeover is still very much in the ether. I have heard on numerous occasions that it has held up business for them this summer.” please log in to view this image Whites set to scupper Hornets bid to sign Ballo-Toure Leeds are set to scupper Watford's plans to sign AC Milan left-back Fode Ballo-Toure, and instead bring him to Elland Road. The talented left-back, has only 12 months left on his contract, and is believed to be keen on a move back to England. He spent last season on loan with Fulham but was used sparingly, amassing just 226 minutes of game time all season. The 27yo, once tipped to become ‘one of the world’s best’ left-backs has great pace, loves to get forward and has great blocking skills. Leeds have turned to the Senegalese International following news that Junior Firpo could be set to re-join Real Betis, seeing out the last 12 months of his contract in Southern Spain. Rumours suggest the Italian giants will accept an offer in the region of £2.5m. They had already accepted a similar bid from Fenerbahce, but Ballo-Toure has his heart set on another move to England. please log in to view this image
Morning all. Why do most players who sign for us seem to hate the club so much. They can't wait to get away at any cost.Can we not find a few who actually like or respect the club. Bit fed up of players treating us like ****. I hope every single one of their careers meet a dead end when they leave
Morning all Because we treat so many players like ****? We’ve always turned on our own, Chris Wood a huge example not too long ago. Bamford another, Firpo and even Meslier. We don’t show many players any loyalty, look at Ayling and Cooper always giving 100% yet for a couple of seasons there have been calls to ditch them as dead wood. Seriously mate, you need to start looking at football from an employer and employee way or it will frustrate you for ever. Accept there is no loyalty in football and that’s both player and fans (fans when it comes to players). Has money ruined football YES Will it go back to the old way NO It’s accept it and enjoy what it is, or find another sport to follow because we can’t change it
It's top division football they want, which is quite ironic,it's because the majority were so **** at their jobs was the reason we were relegated
Very good points. Must admit Im far more interested in amateur sport these days for those very reasons. Love the concept of a young lad growing up playing for a club and sticking with them for their whole career. Refreshing
Not sure Rasmus going will anger many at all, the vast majority of things I've read were of the opinion, just let the useless ****er go, regardless, as he's not even good enough for the championship.
Good afternoon everyone We will take a credit card , seeing as though that's how Everton seem to get by
They don't "hate" Leeds United Most players that are signed are simply "mercenaries", they would just as soon sign for another club if it was more beneficial to their interests When being a Leeds player is not in their best interests, they will look to leave. Why is this so hard for you to get ? You take the same view with any company you work for. When it's better for you to leave and join another company, you will do so.
Agreed with your post other than they are not “mercenaries” either. As you point out they are simply employees of the club that would accept a better job if offered.
