Good Morning Everyone,

Quite frankly I'm relieved that we do not have a midweek game this week, and will be able to concentrate on our lunchtime kick off at Pride Park on Saturday.


It does not look good on the Fernando Forestieri transfer front. Rumour has it that a move to Leeds is not high on his priority; we'll have to wait and see.

Lewis Cook revealed that he learned a useful lesson following his sending off v Doncaster a few weeks back. "I got a bollocking but after that the manager was great with me."

Surely Cook will go straight back into the starting line up.



Who are our best 4 / 5 midfielders?



When was the last time we dominated a midfield?

Erwin, Cook and Murphy all played Sheffield United last night. The Whites ran out 2-1 victors, Erwin impressed a lot of people.




The Tour de France has reached Est's party of the World. Give us a wave Est.

Good morning from a very sunny Matt and co sorry I am late but have had my usual discussion with Ristac I think its safe to say we disagree on most things starting right here .He states its a shame about the lad I say we should not entertain him period .Anyone who doesn't want to join our club for whatever agenda they have are not fit to wear the shirt .I remember many years back when you were still in short pants Matt and Glory and Ristac where still un born .We tried to sign Duncan Ferguson from Dundee United .He was also wanted by Rangers unfortunately Dundee took the stance they would not sell him to Rangers and so we had a Mexican stand off
Ferguson came to Leeds and his excuse was he didn't think his racing pidgeons would settle here .This went on for 6 weeks eventually Dundee capitulated and sold him To Rangers
This is the scenario with Foresteiri he wants a severance payout I say let him go elsewhere I did say let Glory show him the retail outlets in Leeds because he seems to be an expert on shopping centres but it would appear his heart is elsewhere .No move on get someone who wants to wear the shirt with pride
BTW the anti christs amongst us are not crowing so much now I notice as we appear to be prepared to spend MONEY
BEST midfield Murphy Aeyemi Dallas Cook and AN OTHER! Not signed yet
 
Maybe you put it out there that you had a £3M offer accepted knowing full well that he wasn't interested in a relegation scrap!!

Cellino wouldn't do that would he? <whistle>
 
Morning all ... truth be told we outplayed Wednesday's midfield but lacked an Attacking Midfielder joining up play in the final third, which is why Rosler is after Forestieri so if this deal falls through then expect another target to surface besides Limbombe who is a wide man ... Blazing Squad played well last night, Murphy scored a screamer and dominated midfield, Cook looked lively but rusty in patches, Sloth was up and down the park without influencing much, Erwin looks like Lee Chapman with Viduka's touch and scored a beauty

Youngsters who are going to star for Leeds if they continue improving are Skelton (CB), Coyle (RB), Purver (DM/CB), Denton (LB) ... Dawson can play for sure, but he still gets knocked off the ball far too easily, and took a serious fall onto his shoulder which raised fears that the previous injury that forced him to miss most of last season may have resurfaced again

Agree that the big positive is Leeds are willing to spend on players, and it clearly shows ambition for a promotion challenge THIS season along with a belief in Rosler to get it right ... a win at Derby on Saturday will be exactly what we need to give us the confidence to take on all comers and set us up for consistent performances

You would have thought that as its being held in Spain it would have given the useless **** a bit of a clue <laugh>
 
BTW ........... got my tickets for MK Dons, sat in home end no doubt with 5000 other Leeds fans who can't get away end tickets ... there are still a lot of home tickets available, easy to get if you use HP postcode in address ... a Spurs supporting mate is going with a bunch of other Spurs and his Leeds buddy ... MK Dons may end up with 20 supporters in the stands at this rate .... seems everybody wants to see the Leeds when they're in town, and we're not famous anymore (apparently)

Morning all and everyone,
Agree with Elland, we are in need of a break from mid week matches, no excuses from Roslier over tiredness this week.
Agree with Leeds60, forget the Watford lad, if that is true what was stated then GTF.

See we still have the following of those pesky Wallies, maybe not next season from division 2 <whistle> <laugh>

Totally agree Billy about Dawson needs to beef up I think a year out on loan will do him good suggest Crewe they have the right knowledge to bring him on

Indeed mate - if we hadn't promoted 6 players from our U21 team and spent £6M like Leeds have, we might have more than 4 points <whistle>

Didn't you have any good players to promote instead of the crap ones who can't handle league 1.
Maybe they will come good and find their level next season in league 2.<ok>

I'm a big fan of Coyle and Purver. Both seem to the basics very well and Coyle has something about him - Purver is one of those who does the dirty jobs nothing too fancy but very effective.

Whats happening everyone. Don't know whether Cook will go straight back in the team or not. I think Murphy partnering Adeyemi is probably more likely. Good to have him back available though because I thought he was exactly what we were lacking against Sheff Wed.
