South Africa first off this weekend and wonder how serious the story of Leeds and Celtic fighting over Luke Baartman?
The 17-year-old has also picked up two caps for South Africa’s Under-19’s.
Baartman predominantly plays as a striker and he is being backed for a huge future over in South Africa.
Cape Town Spurs CEO Alexi Efstathiou told SNL24 earlier this month that he thinks Baartman has ‘got the X-factor’ and has ‘that little bit of something special’ in his game. Efstathiou added that he knows interest will come but Cape Town Spurs don’t want to see Baartman leave just yet, having seen him rise through the ranks.
Baartman allegedly scored 84 goals in one season for Cape Town Spurs and we could see him with Celtic or Leeds in the near future.
Lewis Bate’s contract is up in the summer so what will we do. Leeds United rejected numerous summer bids for Lewis Bate from clubs outside of England, according to Football League World. The online source has reported on its website [21 November] that one of those clubs would have offered European Conference League action to the young midfielder.
Going to be interesting to see who we bring in after Xmas which should be loans. But if they are loans with a buy clause if we get promoted, it will give us a steer about how serious we are about staying in the prem this time. Lets say these loan players are from top half prem clubs and first choice for us, they will be youngish with huge potential. Will we cash in on the likes of Gnonto, Meslier etc?
Story about Jo Paintsil doing the rounds in Belgium because FARKE wanted him in the summer and he wanted to come to Leeds but the deal fell through as his club Genk stalled and were trying to sort a new contract for the player. He’s still at Genk and scored 5 and has 4 assists so far this season, which isn’t bad from the wing. If hes still wanted it must mean we are losing a winger or two?
Real Betis have been told the price of Marc Roca as they want him permanently. Apparently they are not happy as his valuation has gone up and if he carries on in the same form to the end of the season Betis won’t be able to afford. Football outlet in Spain says his value is more than Betis can afford if Leeds are promoted and Betis hoping that Leeds are not promoted as Betis stand a chance of another loan deal? However the same journo saying there are other La Liga teams who are looking at him and may put an offer in?
Matteo Joseph Fernandez scored a great goal for England U20s on Monday night in a 2-3 win in Germany. What will happen to him come June?
Darwin Nunez praising Marcelo Bielsa for asking him to do something that gets him a lot of goals and will help Klopp and Liverpool. Another 3-0 win in the South American World Cup qualifiers sees Uraguay in 2nd place just behind Argentina and opening a gap to the rest. Bielsa now has a 75% win ratio for Uraguay.
With Georginio out tonight it means Bamford gets a chance to shine but won’t last 90 so Joffy will also get a go. It must be last chance saloon for these 2 and I was Gelhardts biggest fan and expected a lot more from him. Paddy has done nothing for 2 and a half years so not expecting much from him. FARKE has spoken about Joffy as a 10 so maybe I would prefer to see Pirro at 9 and Joffy at 10 and Paddy benchwarming.
