Good Morning. It's Tuesday 15th October, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Can Leeds afford to wait until January Darko Gyabi is being hotly tipped to have his season long loan with Plymouth Argyle cut short following the injury crisis at Elland Road, but would his return make sense? The 20yo has been in impressive form for Wayne Rooney's side, and even netted a thunderous 25 yard effort for the young Lions against Italy on Thursday evening. He has already accumulated over 800 minutes of game time for the Pilgrims, and is set to become Leeds first successful loanee (outgoing) in almost a decade. Daniel Farke is looking for reinforcements following long term injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilea Gruev, and has even been tempted to explore free agents. Cheikhou Kouyate had been training at Thorp Arch last week, and even underwent a medical, but since then, the trail has gone cold. Leeds would have to wait until January to recall Gyabi, or further explore the free agent route if the matter turns urgent. Losing over half their first team during the Summer was always going to be difficult to recover from, especially when replacements were left so late in the window. please log in to view this image Leeds tracking Cameroonian monster According to the Daily Mirror, Leeds are amongst a number of English clubs tracking the progress of FCSB centre-back Joyskim Dawa. The no nonsense defender stands 6ft 4' and is fifteen stone of pure muscle. Not only does this make it difficult for the opposition to disposes him but he uses his strength to out-muscle opponents off the ball. Leeds, along with Everton and Fulham have already sent scouts over to Romania to track the 28yo's progress. His attacking attributes have not gone unnoticed either. He loves to get forward, and is a formidable force in the penalty box, with seven goals in eighty games for the SuperLiga outfit. He has a £4m buy-out clause, making him a bargain, despite his advancing years. please log in to view this image
Evening all Looks like we are all getting fed up with these International breaks, I do feel Leeds needed this though with the walking wounded we have. Great effort Elland keeping the morning thread going with so little to discuss
Indeed, elland must pull his hair out when the boringly no interest international breaks are upon us perhaps when they come on the horizon a short interlude of another subject could be put in place...what? don't ask me
Just nice that we can get back to club football, hope we’ve not had any further injuries since our last game.
Oh lord, Charlie Cresswell has scored for the England Under 14’s or something, back into the Hall of Fame!!
Watched that game. About 200 in attendance. Gnonto was seriously average against Irelands u21’s. Not impressive and the penalty was woeful
