Good Morning y'all Its Friday.... Lewis Walters, the talented 19 year old wingers is fit again, and it should not be long until we see him on the bench. Walters featured in pre-season with the first team, only to suffer a knee injury, that then required surgery at the start of the campaign. Redfearn this week confirmed he is back healthy again, and giving him an extra option. He said: "Ideally we could have had some attacking width, somebody to take people on in the final third especially at home. "I'm really pleased Lewis Walters is back to the fore, because he's somebody who is that type of player." Not such good injury news for Aidy White. He has to undergo a second ankle operation shortly. Is there any hope for White? He is still just 23. Which of the following players who have been on loan at Elland Road should Redfearn sign on a permanent deal? Beradi Bamba Del Fabro Benedicic Bianci Sloth? N'Goyi Antenucci Montenegro Adryan

Morning all, Aren't Berardi, Antenucci & Sloth already permanent signings? And maybe Bianci? I honestly can't remember. I'd take Bamba and possibly Adryan full time in addition. Speaking of Bianchi, are we going to see him again this season? I liked him, maybe a rest has done him good and will come back stronger for it? Looking at the table I'm enjoying the top 6 currently. It's certainly refreshing to have a few different teams up there and not all the 'big boys' (would obviously prefer leeds up there though!)
Morning Elland. I'm with Orion. Bamba and Adrian should definitely be signed. As to the others, I would need to see a lot of them before we sign them
Good morning to Matt and co from a very frosty but sunny Cote de Bardsey# Ant and Sloth Bianci Antenucci and Beradi have already been bought I would like to see us sign Fabio Bamba MONTENEGRO I have a gut feeling with this lad for some reasonalthough I have never seen him play for more than 5 minutes the rest its up to MC but you have missed Cani from your loanee list Granddi not seen him play or Zen again not seen him play but I do find it strange that he wasnt sent back to Milan when he got injured White I am afraid will not play for us again the lad has got to many injuries for me let someone else take a chance Adryan on this one I agree with Chippy god forgive me but what lost it for me was ducking out of an header against Fulham when being brave would have given us an equalizer
Morning all We should have got shut of White a few days ago. We've now got Parker mark 2.Lucky enough he's contract is up at the end of the season so he'll be shown the door. Not much point keeping him. I've said it before, I wouldn't be surprised if Benedicic and Del Fabro sign on Permanently as they're under 20 and could be used as ones for the future.
Morning All, I believe we've got 7 loanees atm - Montenegro, Bamba, N'goyi, Cani, Del Fabro, Adryan, & Benedicic. Keep - Bamba & Del Fabro - both slotted in seamlessly in the back 4 & played better than expected. So much for needing match practice! Probably let go - perhaps I'm being unfair, but in the games I saw Benedicic play, I saw someone in midfield who was afraid to tackle. We can't have that. There was little else of note. Undecided - Montenegro, N'Goyi, Cani, & Adryan - how can we judge them when they've had so little game time? (I know Adryan's had a lot more time than the others, but he's never been fit enough after missing the pre-season). Walters - hadn't realised he was a winger, tbh. Hope he gets some same time soon. White - should have got rid before he got injured. I was never a fan of his (to put it mildly), except for his first ever game, where he was absolutely mesmerising on the wing. Unfair to compare him with Parker. Parker was a good player & loved Leeds.
Hopefully, Phil Hay's got it right. If so, Jerome should be hit with a long suspension for being a serial liar. How can he be taken seriously now? Will the FA listen to him next time? Should they have listened this time? Hope everyone winds him up remorselessly with racial abuse in every game he plays from now on. Then he'll find out what it's really like.
Totally agree with you WJ on this as I said if I were him I would avoid playing at ER or Millwalland I think he should be suspended for at least 8 weeks this would send a clear message to anyone else trying to plkay the race card.It works both ways I believe that tomorrow could be quite nostalgic for me AS i believe that Brentford in1951 was my first game at ER
Defender found not guilty of racially abusing Norwich City striker Leeds United defender Bellusci cleared of racially abusing Norwich City's Jerome please log in to view this image Giuseppe Bellusci has been cleared of racially abusing Norwich City's Cameron Jerome. Credit: PA Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci has been cleared of racially abusing Norwich City'sCameron Jerome. Canaries striker Jerome reported to referee Mark Clattenburg that the Italian had directed a racist slur in his direction during an altercation in The Championship match at Carrow Road in October. please log in to view this image Jerome immediately reported the incident to referee Mark Clattenburg. Credit: PA Bellusci was subsequently charged with misconduct, but always maintained his innocence. The defender would have faced a minimum five-game ban if found guilty of the offence, but a Football Association disciplinary commission cleared him of any wrongdoing at a hearing this week. "Giuseppe has made it clear from the moment the incident happened that he did not use racist language, and the FA commission has found that to be the case. Leeds United is a fully inclusive organisation and through the efforts of the Leeds United Foundation aims to work with every aspect of our community by celebrating diversity and recognising cultural differences. The club is proud to work with many areas of society to improve social cohesion and social mobility and has strong partnerships with community groups including the Chapeltown Youth Football Development Centre and the Hamara Centre in Beeston. Leeds has a diverse, multicultural community and we are committed to supporting everyone who can benefit from a link with our football club." – LEEDS UNITED
As in potentially good player who was injured and we kept on the books. I could have used Somma as an example.
Love it. FA have implied that they still might not drop the charges and are waiting written reports. WTF! apparently the FA use the whole 'no smoke without fire' notion when it comes to racism, despite how ever much credible information to the contrary like a 'not proven' outcome from a independent regulatory commission. What a farce English football is really! FA Statement from their website: The FA has today issued the following statement in relation to the Giuseppe Bellusci case, as heard by an Independent Regulatory Commission. Director of Football Governance Darren Bailey said: "We acknowledge the decision and we’ll take our time to assess and digest the reasons behind the verdict. "We will of course await the written reasons of the Independent Regulatory Commission, but it remains essential that The FA continues to bring forward charges where we believe there is a credible case to answer. "We fully and promptly investigated this matter from the moment it was brought to our attention and this underlines our commitment to the reporting process, which has been strengthened by both The FA and Kick It Out over recent years. "We note that the Independent Regulatory Commission stated that the complainant was a truthful and honest witness. "I would stress to any players involved in incidents where they believe discrimination has taken place to report it to us immediately. The FA has clear procedures on how to do this for those who wish to make a complaint." Read more at http://www.thefa.com/news/governance/2015/feb/statement-bellusci-charge-060215#SG7mXUqmsygD1tX5.99

Not sure who you're referring to, or why?
It's great news he was cleared. After watching the clip several times after the so called alleged incident, I never believed it from the off.
If I read Orions link properly, Bellusci asked for a personal hearing, which I believe brought about the independent regulatory commission; wouldn't this have scuppered the FA as don't they normally conduct their own hearings. Bellusci may well have opened the door for any other falsely accused players to request a IRC hearing, love it. Found the link on twitter (Adam Pope) conversation between pope and Bellusci's lawyer ref the case. Good listening and some good points made. Jerome upset by IRC decision........shame. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...ppointed-with-fas-bellusci-ruling_203800.html Norwich City disappointed.......shame shame http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/...sfully_appeals_racial_abuse_charge_1_3946492? note the small article on kick it out.
