Tuesday's Breakfast Debate....

Post by 1964white »

Good Morning Everyone

Leeds are in pole position to snap up Spanish attacking midfielder Samu Saiz.

Even though a host of clubs are after the former Real Madrid player, it seems few of them are keen to match Leeds bid of 3.5m euros, and none are prepared to match Leeds wages of 1m a year :shock:

Does this show intent or is it a big risk ?

Very please to welcome back Leeds United Ladies in our family

Leeds Utd Ladies play in the Women’s Premier League Northern Division One, and will play their home games at Wheatley Park Stadium, Garforth and two fixtures per season at Elland Road.

Leeds United Ladies first team will also train at Thorp Arch and wear the same kit as the men’s first team.

Leeds United Managing Director Angus Kinnear said: “We are pleased to welcome Leeds United Ladies back into our family, the women’s game is growing in popularity and rightly so, there are some very talented female players in this region and across the country.

“It is important that the club is represented in the leagues and we hope this move will encourage more young girls to get involved in football.”

Is this a good move for Leeds United & shows we are progressing as a whole?

I'm hoping both moves are showing good intent and that both prove to be well worth the money and the risk

I think the Leeds ladies move is a very interesting (and welcome) decision. If for nothing other than the fact the new owner isn't penny pinching as past owners have with casting out the ladies and is trying to rebuild the Leeds united family.

It's probably a good move but I really don't like watching women' football.

That's a good honest opinion.
Most of the time I don't either, but I enjoyed the US ladies winning the World Cup a few years ago so it's specifics for me.
Hell, half the time I don't like the men's game either - last years Euros was a prime example of boring crap - 95% of the games were played not to lose by at least one of the teams and sometimes both. I can see why you don't rate some or all of the international stuff.

I might enjoy some of the Leeds ladies' games because of the shirt - at any rate I'm glad they're back.

Not my scene mate however ladies football is a fast growing sport therefore a club with the stature of Leeds United should have a ladies team as is the case with the other big clubs
