Good Morning Everyone According to a German Journo, Leeds are about to dip their toes in the second tier of the Bundesliga. And there was us worrying that we were going after Serie B players! We got our hierachy all wrong! Ronan Murphy@swearimnotpaul Leeds United are closing in on Union Berlin defender Kristian Pedersen, with Bild reporting that he's set to move to the Championship. The former Demark u21 player is predominantly at Left Back, though he can play as a left winger! Where does this leave De Bock? What about Pearce, Denton and Berardi? The Abel Hernandez saga continous to rumble! You'll recall last week thay BetVictor suspended bets on the Uruguayan joining Leeds after reading a fake Phil Hay tweet on social media. Bets have been reinstated, and his odds of joining Leeds have been slashed from 10/1 to 2/5. But on Tuesday afternoon they reinstated the market with Hernandez's odds of being a Leeds United player slashed. He is now 2/5 on to be at Elland Road next season, with Leeds as the heavy favourites to win the race for his signature. Thoughts? Put these full backs in order!!! Dorigo Mills Sterland Harte Kelly
Also appears that the American lot the 49 era are the new part owners of Leeds with 10% share. The 9m to go towards transfers. Does this mean every time money is required for transfers a new partner will be brought in I wonder. Could lead to an interesting consortium in a couple of years
No nothing of Pedersen so probably unfair to judge although going for players for 2nd tier European clubs does make you wonder have we learned any lessons from last season. Don't rate De Bock, Denton isn't good enough yet & Berardi is only back-up for me I don't believe I got our hierarchy wrong please log in to view this image
Concerned about his fitness, played under 100 games in four seasons My Hull season-ticket holder friends don't rate him but Hernandez has to be better than the League One strikers at ER now
Why are our best full-backs not on this list Matt ? OK out of those five : Dorigo Sterland Kelly Harte Mills
Think Denton will be on his bike as hes now had plenty of chances to break through and is now behind a 17 year old. Thanks Tyler good luck. LDB and Pederson will be the 2 LBs if Pearce doesnt sign and if Pearce does sign he cant do a full season starting hes a baby and needs bringing on gradually. We will know the clubs ambition as soon as we see which striker (s) they bring in and if the big name signing is going to be revealed it will be next Friday if the 10 day story is true. Everyone on holiday right now so a slow time on transfers. Anyone see Hecky with his wife and kids on sun loungers on the beach getting a barrage of questions froma Leeds fan, felt sorry for him and wife
Morning all - more info about the investment in Leeds from 49'ers going to be on Talksport sometime after 10. Nutty Jim White called it "major investment to be announced" to us that's the £10m I suppose...?
So we have the San Fransisco 49ers owning a 10.6% share in the club and the injection of cash goes towards player buys. Radz obv realising that owning 100% of a Chapionship club pays peanuts but owning 80% or 90% of a Prem club is a lottery win. We shall see what happens
Morning all Let's not judge this Danish lad before lands at Leeds/Bradford Airport. He might actually be a hidden gem, granted if Orta's found him then I'm not gonna hold my breath. I do think that LDB prob is going out the door and we'll prob cash in on Pearce however I get the feeling that we'll see a lot of changes over the next few months when It comes to playing staff. The deal with the 49ers seems interesting. 9 million for 10 percent of the club. The 49ers are a big enough entity not just in the NFL but the world of sport hopefully he can give some seriously needed **** on the board. Hopefully we can bring a few more people in to the hierarchy if the club so Radz stops making stupid decisions like letting Orta sign the likes of Hecky and Grot
A word of caution before everyone starts getting in a frenzy about the 9m, remember as things stand it will be Orta spending it so will either equate to a quality British striker or six serie b players. Hopefully hes learned or even the 49ers bring a bit of professionalism to player recruitment
Wouldn't be surprised if we see some players come in frim MLS now we've got an American link to the club now
Morning. So we are going to end up with a faceless foreign consortium that changes its make up if we need a cash injection. Farnan, Verity and Pearson would have been better than this drip drip bollix. The only positive about Rad was supposed to be no compromise at least that's what chesh was spouting. This won't end well.
Morning all. Denton will be moved on I Think, Berardi too wants out imo, he is better on the right anyway, De Bock needs a few games to show what he can do, which leaves Pearce who could be off, Everton are after Joe Bryan so he may not be going there, that makes us looking for a Left Back. Would like to see Hernandez but not sure he come here. Dorigo Sterland Kelly Mills Harte.
morning all. The first priority should be to get the defence right. Its no good having the worlds best attack if you have the worlds worst defence.
Good Morning to Matt and co from a very cool Bardsey where has the sun gone? Pearce by all accounts will sign after returning from France and it was reported that prior to PH giving him a chance the odds were that they were letting him go on a free at the end of this season .Does anyone know what they are doing down there as soon as I saw the lad you could see he has great potential unlike the following who have none Felix Lonegren Cooper Anita OKane Sacko Ekuban Antonsson Murphy LDB Best Fullbacks in my 60 odd years has to be Reaney and Dorigo Hernandez provided he stays fit should provide us with plenty of goals and lets face it we don't have any that can score in a brothel Pedersen is a junior international for Denmark young enough and no doubt cheap enough should provide cover for Pearce
