Good Morning Everyone The option to keep Bielsa at Elland Road expires in seven 7 days!! Bielsa and Radrizzani have been locked in discussions all week about the Argentine's future. It is believed the 63yo has given Rad a wish list of players and facility upgrades that he would need in order to secure a return to the promised land! Lets hope Radrizzani has leaned by his mistake with Daniel James and does not wait until the last minute! Pierre-Michel Lasogga has been released by Hamburg. The former German U21 forward scored 19 goals in 31 appearances last term. Unfortunately, this was not good enough, and Hamburg were relegated! What would be the biggest obstacle? Wages or Lasogga surviving pre season? Conor Shaughnessy will play his last game for Hearts tomorrow against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final. The 6 foot 3 central defender is looking forward to coming back to Elland Road. It will be interesting to see how the youngster has progressed since his loan move in January! Given the choice would you rather have Halme or Shaughnessy step up to the first team this Summer? Kasper Schmeichel has been talking about his time at Elland Road:- Schmeichel said on Joe Hart’s Youtube series Gloved: “I remember about three weeks after joining Leeds thinking, ‘What have I done?!’ “It was just the wrong club for me at that time. It was very clear, very early on that it was the wrong club for me. “It was a club where I was not accepted and with my father’s history, it was evident among the fans that they did not approve of that. “I just didn’t feel welcome at all at the club, by the whole club, that’s the manager (Simon Grayson) as well. He didn’t give me any kind of confidence. “I had a decent season, I thought. I didn’t set the world alight but I had a solid enough season, but I did not enjoy my time there at all. It was a really bad time. “Then I was at home in Denmark (for the summer). Sven called me and said: ‘Do you want to come to Leicester?’ “But then after I’d spoken to him, I thought: ‘I’m moving, moving, moving. I need to stay somewhere. People will see me as this guy that will play here, play there. I need to tough this out. I’ve got to stay.’” But while Schmeichel had chosen to stick with Leeds, he claims a transfer was being organised behind his back. The goalkeeper added: “About two weeks go by, I’m in Copenhagen still when one of my friends rings me and goes: ‘Congratulations!’ “‘What do you mean?’ “‘You’ve moved to Leicester!’ “‘What do you mean I’ve moved to Leicester?! How do you know about that?’ “‘It’s all over the news.’ “I was like: ‘Yes, get me away.’
Morning all.... Worrying times whilst we wait on news of Bielsa, I didn’t dislike Kasper because of his father, I just didn’t think he was that good at the time, I think he is talking **** in the interview. Which defender, I have no idea and please no to Lasogga.
Wasnt it Schmeicals old man who urged him to come to Leeds or am i getting him mixed up with someone elae?
Errrr I think you will find Hamburg were relegated during the time that Lasogga was playing for ourselves. He just scored 13 league goals ( the other 6 were in the cup) as Hamburg finished 4th in the German Second Division. Have you decided to have a change of career Ell, and go from estate agent to daily tabloid journalist given the accuracy of your facts As for Lasogga, I have no problem with him, followed him from when he first played for Hertha Berlin, however don't think he is the type of player that Bielsa would be looking for to improve our team, so I will have to say no thanks. As for who ever steps up to the first team, I don't care if its someone who has been on loan or someone from the U23's, all I care about is whether they are good enough, thus don't think there is any point in stating a preference for a particular player. As for Schmeichel, he admits he didn't like it here and was happy to leave, so why moan about something from 8 years ago.
It was indeed. From what I remember flapper was at Notts County and hadn’t done too well there so couldn’t believe his luck when Leeds came in for him. Ungrateful bastard.
Morning all. A few things I wanted to say but Ill keep shtum in case of offending anyone. Suffice to say Eires very pissed off with the running of the club. At least Ive a few good concerts coming up in next few weeks and eldest lass getting married in three weeks, so aside from Leeds, all good
It took some doing to be as thick as that one eyed gold salesman gordon Brown but the hunchback has achieved just that what a ****ing waste of oxygen
