Good Morning. It's Friday 4th December, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road. Forshaw out until next season? Bielsa delivered his pre-match press conference for the Chelsea game yesterday. We heard that Llovente is expected to participate in one / possibly two U23 games to raise his fitness levels before being unleashed on the first team, but there was bad news for Shackleton, Hernandez and Forshaw. Here is Bielsa's presser in full Clear sign investment is on its way It's looking increasing likely that the San Francisco 49ers, led by Paraag Marathe, President of the NFL giants are to make a substantial further investment in Leeds Utd. Marathe has been keen to increase the 49ers stakeholdings on the West Yorkshire club since their initial investment in 2018. He was quoted back in September praising Messrs Radrizzani, Orta and Bielsa for the success they brought,to a club, previously a sleeping giant. Sharp eyed LUFC fan Legsy @LEGSYN8GELDERD spotted the 49ers have created a hedge fund, with an Indefinite amount of money in it. They have called this account Leeds II. Do Leeds need this money? Is cash flow short due to Covid 19? Are funds being put into place for the January transfer window? Could this be the first stage of an audacious take over bid from Marathe? please log in to view this image
Morning all I reported on yesterdays morning thread about the investment obviously nobody read it. Think Forshaws career is over at Leeds now and will never get back full Bielsa fitness, so just a case getting him back and some U23 games and then sell him on. Feel for the guy as it must be heartbreaking not being able to do your job and enjoy being in the Premier league, but cannot afford passengers.
Niall Huggins has been given his first oro contract and will be at the club until the Summer of 2023. This is another kid who gets better and better every time I see him. Pace and skill by the bucket load and can now play LB LWB, LW, AM
Stories coming out that Robin Koch has missed most of the training this week which is a bit worrying? so where is everyone as nobody seems to be posting for the last couple of days? Xmas shopping, moving into different teirs to abuse pub rules?
Afternoon all... For me, Pablo hasn’t played a part of this season, Shackleton had one good game and Forshaw wasn’t even part of the promotion winning team so their absence won’t be missed. If we’re going to have three players injured we could do a lot worse than them. I’m looking forward to seeing what Llorente can do, he’ll be like a new January signing
Forshaw spends more time on the bench in the treatment room, no good for us whatsoever! There must be another player out there who is fit & possesses decent quality we can sign in the January window There is no guarantee he is premier league level let alone whether he plays again We shouldn't be depending on such unreliability, we are not a Football League club anymore
Sadly my local and none of the other traditional pubs have opened. Not worth it with the substantial meal rule in place
