Wtf? We flew out to him to hold talks. He didn't fly to us.

I made that last quote up . . . . . . . :) Curious how he pronounced Nottingham. Really bugs me when I hear Americans say it. I went to Notts Uni so I hear it regularly. The struggle to annunciate every syllable. "Nott-Ing-Ham" I keep telling them it's "Noh'ing'em" and more coll...

Hopefully, he gets fit and injury free again.

He did against Cardiff

Yes. Still think Wober was brought in to play LB this season. But is playing CB out of necessity. (A) because Cooper is injured and {B} because Strujik had a really rough time last time he played at LCB.

Good. I rolled my eyes at him quoting Obama

I think Bamford has to get at least 45 out of this game. Important to get more running in his legs and sharpness.

Exactly mate :tup: The fact that Ayling and Struijk are still part of the equation when we're talking about fielding our best right and left backs, is an indicator for me that so far Kristensen and Firpo are not what we'd hoped. So those positions still need to be addressed. Llorente being given a ...

Where's our best attacking option Gnonto in the above teams mentioned? Are we resting Willy? I hope he plays every league game for us between now and the end of the season. We should really walk through this one with the line up I listed. So, I'd be giving Willy a rest for a weak and give players l...

Failed another medical.

Great news. Honestly the karma is all on him. He was a sly b'stard when he was in talks with us.

1618559384782770179 It's not a problem. Just get Jesse on the phone and remind McKennie that if Jesse had had Rodrigo when he was younger then Rodders would be one of the best in the world. That could be you Weston. "We have Rodrigo at Leeds, and he’s 31 and I’ve even had a conversation with h...

Yanus Musah?
Giovanni Reyna?

Seriously. Both are fantastic young players. Gio Reyna better fits the model of a No. 10 that most fans on here have been looking for. Obvioulsy Jesse just wants 3 hard working midfielders behind 3 attackers.

Scum are a better team now too than they were pre World Cup. Shame that fixture got conceled when it did. They'll be a lot better now when we play them.

velo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:51 pm 3 il now, think it's game over for the tie

You think they'll rest players next week? Prioritize the league game against us?

McKennie -= Excellent signing. Doesn't matter what country he was born in. Shows great ambition by the club too. Harrison - Would love to see him stay as part of the squad but continually suspect he doesn't fit Jesse's style. He's got a year and change on his contract. Take the money. Accrington - 8...

Apparently going out to Luton on loan, bit shocked by this one, not bad back up, I know we are constantly linked with every man and his dog in this window, but, not more right backs. It's just a loan which (hopefully) means he still has a future with us. He can't get a sniff of the bench with Aylin...

Need Forest to keep this score line respectable. Need them in with a chance and going all out in the 2nd leg next Tuesday.

Much depends on fitness. Can see Cooper getting a good chunk of minutes if fit

It remains to be seen whether record signing Georginio Rutter makes his Leeds debut, though its more likely, he'll be on the bench, alongside Joseph and Perkins. Fellow youngster Darko Gyabi should start. 8 days until the next game after that. So I don't think there will be much of a look in for th...

Maybe he's better than you think
