Good Morning Everyone, Now that Pearson has gone, is Roslers position safe? Is Doukara the answer to Leeds lack of goals this season? When is the right time to give Bamba a week off to catch his brethe. Is Kalvin Phillips good enough to start? When is the right time to sell Byram?
Morning lover (according to my mis-key elsewhere that Glory's pounced on!) Rosler is more in trouble with me than Cellino atm. Our Pres has been quite restrained. I'm disgusted with him for caving under Twitter pressure to go 4-4-2 & get us our first defeat of the season. Once you fold, it's only a matter of time .... Doukara? Can't head a ball, unlike Wood. Oh, wait a minute ..... Bamba? Tbf, he's not had an absolute stinker yet. Nothing Pearce-like yet. I think team morale is probably more important at this stage. Philips? Love what the guy does, and the prospect of him becoming a future legend, but he is not the answer. Barton might have been. Nolan might be. But I guess we'll never know. Byram? As one of his biggest fans, I would not be sad if the lad moved on. But not for the reasons you might think! Sure, he doesn't really fit into a 4-3-3 well enough for me, but it's the way he is being messed about contract-wise that bothers me. The lad is Leeds through & through and still on boys wages. But Cellino wants him to take a pay cut 'like Murphy', who of course is still on much higher wages than Byram, even with the pay cut. Not fair at all, and I'm right behind the boy. I like the way he's standing up to Cellino. Hopefully Cellino will get a grip. If he doesn't, the lad should be allowed to move on, to get what he rightfully deserves. Tin helmet now firmly affixed atop of my head. Off to bed now anyway. TTN.
If it's announced that Byram has signed a new contract, he'll be leaving - so Cellino doesn't have to pay the high wages for long.
Good morning to Neil Matt etc from a dull Bardsey I would sell Byram to Swansea for £8m without hesitation and invest the proceeds in strengthening the team probably try and bring in Will Buckley I expect nothing but a win tomorrow as I am going to the game so no doubt this will bring out those lurking in the undergrowth if I am wrong Although I think Silvestri is a great shot stopper I would play Turnbull and get the lads head right again he needs plenty of coaching for catching a ball and distribution Off topic a friend ask me if I knew that a famous rock star age in his sixties was born in Bramley Leeds and was her cousin I was surprised to say the least when she told me who he was! Can anyone give his name
Morning all. My era Mike. I lived in Leeds in my early days so would guess at Tommy Steele. I think he married a Leeds girl. As for Rosler. he is as safe as his next result if past MC performance goes. If we do sell Byram in January then that indicates the ambition of the club for this season. !! Still mid table finish for me.
Tommy Steel did marry a yorkshire girl I believe but he was definitely from down south Its a very hard one but he is so well known clue his fathers Christian name was Heywood
I think possibly Dave you are thinking about one of the bee gees marrying a girl who worked at Batley variety club
Morning all Find it hard to believe anyone would pay 8 million for Byram in Jan when his contract runs out in the summer. Agree with 60 though if anyone was daft enough to pay it get Buckley in. A better winger then Sam imo.
I disagree with you on this point Byram at £8m I would drive him there myself only according to Ant it would take too long!
His statue is on display in Morley and East Ardsley have always claimed him as there own so I would suggest Wiki is wrong but then I would
