Good Morning Everyone, Swedish striker Marcus Antonsson looks set to sign for Leeds in the next few days. The 25 year old will undergo a medical, and become Leeds first Summer signing before the end of the week. Oxford United are holding out for 3m for talented striker Kemar Roofe. This could be a major stumbling block for Garry Monk. Monk's pursuit of Ashley Fletcher is gathering pace. The youngsters contract runs out next month. Leeds will have to pay manchester united compensation. We have missed out on Tommy Elphick. The Cherries defender has signed a 3 year deal at Villa yesterday afternoon. Meanwhile behind the scenes Ben Mansford has been named Chief Executive at ER with current executive director Paul Bell to remain at Elland Road but focus on commercial matters. Mansford, who was formerly an agent with the Wasserman Media Group and a solicitor with Leeds-based Walker Morris, was appointed as chief executive at Barnsley three years ago. Cellino Commented : “It’s important that we continue to grow our football club on and off the pitch and I believe that Ben has the skills required to help us achieve our targets. “Ben’s arrival will now allow me to focus purely on my role as chairman and the running of the club. I look forward to working closely with him and Paul Bell at this exciting time for Leeds United.”
Morning Elland and all. Had to double check there to see if Id made a mistake and logged into a morning thread from a year ago. But what the hell, here we go on a brand new adventure. Great performance by Wales, winning their group and thrashing the second best team in it last night, glorys words, not mine
Morning all, Antonsson expected to sign on Monday now by the end of the week, usual stuff then Like Eire said, feels just like last season
Morning Eire, well done to Wales indeed. If, and I know it's an if, but if England can be more clinical in front of goal there is no reason why they can't win it. I've seen nothing from other teams that scare me. We are being linked to some god players. Let's hope we can sign them...
I am cautiously optimistic about the coming season.We have some good young players who I believe will respond to Garry Monks coaching.We need some good early results which hopefully will bring confidence and consistency. Confidence seems to have been in short supply at Elland Road for some time, but it can improve a teams performance dramatically. It is not easy to feel optimistic under Cellino because you never know what's round the corner. I get the impression that if he was kidnapped the ransom note would say "if the money was not paid the kidnappers would release him".
Jeez I hope we can sign some god players, we'll be unbeatable and invincible, maybe we could get a god coach as well, Revie would still be interested.........just a bit of fun Elland.
One of the good things about England finishing second is the team we will face, either Hungary, Portugal, Iceland or Austria.
Just thought I'd try some predictions in the Euros, which I'm going to bookmark. 1. Rep Ire won't beat Ital 2.N.Ireland won't beat Ger 3 Wales won't qualify for the last 8 4 England won't win the tournament..........
