    Good Morning Everyone

    Leeds start their first of six pre season games this evening against League 2 outfit Forest Green.

    It is unknown what kind of team Bielsa will field against Mark Coopers men, but you'd imagine the pressure will be on the Whites to produce a good performance and comfortable win.

    It is thought that new signing Jamal Blackman will start in goal

    Thoughts?




    Boro have slapped a 15m price tag on Britt Assombalona. The 25yo Congolese International netted 15 times in 44 appearances for the Smoggo's last season.

    Value for money?





    We are no further forward to knowing who the two mystery Premiership and Championship players linked to us actually are.

    Who think's we'll know today?





    Derby are tipped to sign John Terry. So much for them being cash strapped....

    Good Morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey where we had some light rain overnight
    The players we are expecting could be 2 loanees Zouma and Kodjia
    I wonder why he sold 10% of the club to finance buying players so where are they?
    I totally agree we cannot pay these exhorbitant wages Bartley 28k a week Henandez 40k a week Vydra 50k a week what are these people on
    you can't blame them if clubs are stupid enough to pay it
    Derby who are worried about over spending now have agreed to pay Terry 80k a week considering his age they must be mad
    Assambalonga is not worth £15m I would sooner have Marriot I know he is untried but his wage demands will be miniscule compared to Vydras and he is hungry and at £5m worth the risk why we could sell Roofe and have change to buy Madison.Now that's what I call good business
    Forest Green another potential banana skin perhaps a defeat will get money out of their pockets

    Morning everyone, I know nothing.

    At least John Terry is well clear of LU, not my favourite person.

    Morning all, I just don’t get the Derby situation, in reflection if they are paying Terry £80k a week then they are mad, they could easily keep Vydra and up his wages and add Hernandez too and still be quids in.

    Are others over spending on wages or are we under spending? Yes I accept all the reasons why paying someone £40k a week or £28k a week is bad but do we want to compete with the big clubs or get left behind?

    The PL is a 2 maybe 3 tier division, the Championship is fast becoming a two tier, those that can afford the likes of players on over £25k a week and those that can’t. We’re fast cementing our place in the second tier of the championship. Why can’t we afford more, we must sell more shirts and merchandise world wide, we’re always on Sky, we have larger attendances than most, it’s sickening.

    Me personally, I’m **** bored of it, I’d take the gamble, spend big, I’m getting too old to wait another dozen years, let’s roll the dice.

    Good morning Matt & All
    These friendlies are all about match fitness
    Bielsa may get a shock after the first few friendlies
    He is not worth that amount of money
    I'm looking forward to this revelation from a comical angle, prepare yourselves for a visit to the Wiki site
    Where did that money come from unless they offload Vydra
