Junior Firpo wife posted a picture of herself, Junior and their two kids (faces blanked out) on social media wearing their Leeds shirts with the tagline “Premier League Here We Come” Suggests he might be about to sign a new contract. He has had a great season but I fear PL is not his level and he does break down quite easily
All depends on who we can get rid of in summer. As Farke alluded to in interview, we were skint in January so not a. Lot will have changed. Expect a few 5m pound hopefuls incoming. At least with Farkes excellent record at picking up such players we might still be ok
I have no doubt that the 49ers are ambitious but they will have it planned out. At this point we can level up on what we've got.. Burnley helped with that yesterday evening but we can't go stupid a start moaning when De Bruyen goes to the MLS or Saudi Arabia. We're realistically not going to get that, There are realistic talents out there that we can get our hands on. The aim is to level up over the next few years. We need to use the Red Bull scouting network to find talent in the less popular leagues. This BS about spending £150 million to survive annoys me. Don't spend big spend smart. We got Tanaka and Bogle for what £10 - £11 million last summer
And how many names will invest now were in the Premier League. The clubs Value has doubled. Skint... I don't think so... more like the owners were holding money just in case we ****ed it up again.
Everyone who invests eventually takes more out of that’s where the cash will go. More hands in the pot. Imagine the dividends our hundreds of investor golfers basketballers and comedians will take this summer. Might be enough for a new contract for Darlow left
I get that but now there's the insentive to put more cash in to get a bigger dividends when we get into the Europe in a few years.
Those investors don’t even know where Europe is. They’re all yanks and not great at geography. only interested in their cash. But like I said maybe a few young Tanaka signings is the way to go anyway
And this is my point don't sign big sign smart. There's enough talent out there in the less glamourous leagues to make a good push in the Premier League. The popular idea that you need to folk out 100s of millions is stupid. Spend wisely
Congratulations, hope Daniel does better in the PL with you than he did with us. He is a genuinely nice guy and we still love him.
I’d have him as a squad option and if rumours of Ben Davies are true that’s 2 left backs sorted. Think smart signings but not expensive will be the likes of Longstaff at Newcastle, just solid PL players that have done it there. No frills but can do a job. Obviously need to spend well on a 10 & 9 and an experienced keeper but the rest should be fine with what we have.
It would seem Farke didn't really want Schmidt or Ramazani, he is also quick to move on players who will not feature, Drameh and Ayling and the Spurs RB loan spring to mind not to mention Joffy. With that in mind, it might cause a bit of a complication on new signings as I'm sure we will be looking to use the Redbull scouting network It would be so cruel not to give Farke another chance in the PL but myself and many others are already convinced he won't be good enough so do we give him funds to blow and be in the same situation as we were with Jesse. I do feel Farkes level is the Championship, I might be doing him a huge injustice It's going to be an interesting ride going forward and who knows what the right answer will be. If Farke starts offering the likes of Byram and Bamford new contracts and thinking Junior will be good enough for the PL then we are in bother.
Well that explains why Schmidt wasn't given a chance this season. Farke didn't want 2 players. Well that's good I didn't want him as manager. I very much preferred Viera There's a difference between cruel and humane. Let's put Farke out into the field before we have to shoot him in the head so to speak. I wouldn't let him have too much of a say in the transfer department. I'd bring someone in from the Red Bull Network to act as DOF and tell Farke to coach the squad. He gives Paddy, Firpo and Byram new contracts and then we have no chance of staying up. They'll be clogging up space that better players could use
PL players out of contract this summer, any fancies ARSENAL Jorginho Thomas Partey Kieran Tierney ASTON VILLA Kortney Hause Robin Olsen Bournemouth N/a BRENTFORD Josh Dasilva* Ben Mee Christian Norgaard* BRIGHTON Tariq Lamptey Tom McGill James Milner Joel Veltman CHELSEA Lucas Bergstrom CRYSTAL PALACE Nathaniel Clyne Will Hughes Remi Matthews Tyrick Mitchell Luke Plange Jeffrey Schlupp Joel Ward EVERTON Asmir Begovic Dominic Calvert-Lewin Seamus Coleman Abdoulaye Doucoure Idrissa Gueye Michael Keane Joao Virginia Ashley Young FULHAM Tom Cairney Raul Jimenez Kenny Tete Adama Traore Carlos Vinicius IPSWICH TOWN Cameron Burgess* Massimo Luongo Axel Tuanzebe* LEICESTER CITY Daniel Iversen Jamie Vardy Danny Ward LIVERPOOL Trent Alexander-Arnold Vitezslav Jaros MANCHESTER CITY Scott Carson Kevin De Bruyne MANCHESTER UNITED Christian Eriksen Jonny Evans Tom Heaton Victor Lindelof NEWCASTLE UNITED Martin Dubravka Mark Gillespie Emil Krafth Jamaal Lascelles Jamal Lewis John Ruddy Fabian Schar Callum Wilson NOTTINGHAM FOREST Ola Aina Willy Boly Wayne Hennessey Harry Toffolo SOUTHAMPTON Adam Lallana Joe Lumley Jack Stephens Kyle Walker-Peters TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR Ben Davies Fraser Forster Sergio Reguilon Alfie Whiteman WEST HAM UNITED Michail Antonio Vladimir Coufal Aaron Cresswell Lukasz Fabianski* Danny Ings WOLVES Craig Dawson Mario Lemina Pablo Sarabia Nelson Semedo
Honestly that list don't look too good. I'd take Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney from Arsenal then Callum Wilson from Newcastle And that's at a push
This is more like it pay divis and sign older players and on leagues finest. Keep the money for the 49ers investors as it's only fair.
For me, if a PL club doesn’t want them, then we shouldn’t either. If a PL club wants to keep them, we either can’t afford the fee which would be demanded, or they’d not wish to join a non established side. Of the Championship teams that might miss out on promotion, there are no players I’d want. Ipswich might have one we could take, but I’d certainly not take anyone from Leicester or Southampton, I’m not sure about their keeper If any player is valued at £50m he is not going to want to join us, Delap is available at £30m and there is already talk he wants to join a team who has qualified for Europe, he’s also not a team player and not always first choice I’m not against an out of contract player, I do think we’re going to be shopping abroad
