Good Morning Everyone Stuart Dallas is back in the squad for tonight's Yorkshire derby at Elland Road You'll recall that his mother died last week. I'm sure we all wish him well. Borthwick Jackson picked up an ankle knock at the Walker Stadium on Tuesday night. He is expected to be out for a fortnight. This being the case, you'd expect Anita to start tonight at left back. According to the Daily Mail (so it can't be wrong, surely) Leed are tracking Sturm Graz midfielder James Jeggo. Hull City and Middlesbrough are also after the 25-year-old. Jeggo is out of contract at the end of this season and is said to have turned down the Austrian side's offer of an extension. He can therefore speak to other clubs in January regarding a pre-contract agreement, prior to moving clubs next summer - unless a cut-price deal can be struck before then. Former Tottenham Hotspur scout David Magrone has revealed Leeds United tried to sign England Harry Kane, but the Spurs manager at the time, Tim Sherwood, blocked the move. Speaking to The World Game, the former Tottenham official confirmed Leeds United were trying to sign Kane: “There was serious consideration among the hierarchy at the club to letting him go to Leeds because he’d been out on loan and had never really set the world on fire. Tim knew he was a Premier League player in the making, and really didn’t want to let him go, even if the chairman (Daniel Levy) possibly did.” It has been revealed that William Remy almost signed for Leeds in the dying hours of the transfer window. to Leeds United in the summer transfer window. L’Equipe claimed that Leeds and Championship rivals QPR were pushing to sign the centre-back from Ligue 1 side Montpellier on deadline day. But, when the window slammed shut on September 1st, Remy was still stuck with the Herault-based club. Though the 26-year-old, who has one cap for France’s Under-19 side, is far from a first-team regular. Remy has fallen down the pecking order at Montpellier. After making just eight Ligue 1 starts last season, he has not featured in a single top flight game in 2017/18 The former Dijon player has gone from being absolute mustard to marmite in a couple of seasons. His contract is up at the end of the season, so would expect him to leave in January for a nominal fee.
Morning all. January will prove to be an interesting window. Traditionally managers dont fancy doing business at that time. If were still around the playoffs, it will be interesting to see how much Rad is willing or able to throw at a promotion push and what calibre of player we pursue. By now,most players will know of the stability he has brought to Leeds and we surely will be a far more appealing prospect
Morning Eire. I do remember thinking back in the January transfer window that monk was not very well supported. I wonder whether that had any relevance to our timely demise after Christmas. I also wonder whether that had an impact on Monk's decision to leave?
Good afternoon To WJ HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND OUT OF BED Good afternoon to Matt and co from a lovely sunny day here in Bardsey I must say I have never driven so badly as I have today maybe its the medication I am taking but I have been lucky very lucky to day I drove like man of my age is supposed to drive lousy so lets hope I am a good mascot tonight Danny Ings is rumoured tyo be on our hit list for Januaryand WJ mentioned Matt Smith .Matt is better than Grot at present and would put fear into any defence at set piecesI have always liked the lad as I have pointed out on numerous occasions.So for a small fee why not Alex Macarthy is a must buy along with Joe Bryan Tonights game should be a belter Chris Wilder has done a great job wherever has managed so if we win this will give TC a lot of confidence Wilder plays to winand his win %is better than Jose
Just been looking at Sheffields season lost to Notts F Cardiff and a very disputable defeat at Boro where an og was given as off side! At home they have lost to Norwich nobody has scored more than 2 against them apart fr5om Leics 4-1 in the league cup so we have a game on our hands
Leeds Utd's CEO Kinnear said in a recent radio interview that the club was ready to strengthen in January ... firstly, this will probably be players they missed out on August should they be available ... secondly, the club will only add players who can improve the team as always with transfers, the player must be totally committed to coming, his club must be willing to sell and the money has to be right ... one of Monk's big stumbling blocks was that deals were just not possible to conclude in January for any of the three reasons listed above ... also, January transfers can be over priced because of the selling clubs' reluctance to lose players ... Sheff Weds went and gambled £10m on Jordan Rhodes and look how that's turned out Monk's sole motivation for going to Boro was money ... he saw a chairman with a fat parachute payment who was desperate to go back up first time of asking ... he knew he would be given a massive war chest and he felt that buying a squad was his best chance of success ... so far that has proven to be wrong, and now Monk has to show his talent as a manager or he'll be gone by January never mind asking Gibson for another £50m to spend we have seen far too many examples to know money don't buy you love, and that hard work and belief in what you're doing is vital if you want to succeed ... the good thing about Leeds under Radz is that there is a plan in place and there is a belief in the direction the club is going in ... Monk showed himself to be selfish, so never the right man for the long term at Leeds ... as long as EVERYONE keeps the faith and stands UNITED behind the club and the vision, then Leeds will return to the Prem stronger than ever and ready to challenge for a place in the top six Radz is God
There might even be simething we could take seriously in this if you hadnt constantly told us monk was the new messiah and the team he had the new barca.
A couple of mentioned January transfer money availability but I think you'll find we have the majority of the Wood transfer cash still available plus all the Bridcutt cash. Lassoga was a loan which originally had an agreed buy clause but since refuted. Cibicki next to nothing same with Grot ....
