So instead of a brilliant Bartley Pontus partnership a year ago we’ll likely have a pair of kids on 2k a week trying to do the same job. Can’t beat it, that’s the Leeds way
If one is knackered and one does not want to play for Leeds so be it .
 
How u keeping Neil. I’m in west of Ireland on business followed by pleasure with mrs Eire hopefully
All going well. Had 6 weeks in between holidays, so decided to move house to fill the gap. Only I gave myself 4 weeks to do it, so a bit of a challenge. Do-able, but stressful. What a plonker, eh? :D

I've only ever been in Dublin, and can't even remember the score far less anything else. <cheers> I've always wanted to go over & do a bit of proper touring. And drinking. One day! The west coast I've never considered, simply because no-one's ever mentioned it to me before. Wexford & surrounding area has been highly recommended, and I've got an old workmate that lives in Bray. Seems really nice there too, so should really make that a priority. So, where to go on the west coast? I'll bung it on my list. Current thinking is that a motorhome is the best approach, but happy to be corrected on that one.

You can’t go wrong visiting counties Clare Mayo and Galway. Also roads are quiet for the most part so motorhome ideal

Apparently all got a little lost in (google) translation. Someone asked a Swedish Leeds fan what he meant and they said

I would tell him you can talk to your agent as much as you like,but you have 3 years left on your contract and you're going nowhere unless we say so.

A good plan and usually works very well <laugh> you know full well once rad smells cash he’ll have him out the door quick as a flash to the first bidder. That will then be followed by the usual spate of comments that he wasn’t any good anyway

This was the reason for getting all the players on 4 year deals,unless a massive bid comes in I don't expect us to sell.

There’s another reason. The four year deals make it more attractive to the player and agent to sign. 5m plus will land him no prob. If he wants to go and rad wants the cash, how likely would we be to keep him. Cellino made Taylor play out his contract and he was no use for the season

Don't agree about 4 year deals being more attractive for the players to sign,short contracts give players all the power.

The players get the best of both worlds. They hold all the power anyway unfortunately. I don’t blame Pontus anyway. If he can’t see the club progressing and he should know, he’s hardly going to finish his career there if he can get a better deal elsewhere

He has no say in the matter,if we say he stays,he stays.
