Good Morning. It's Thursday 17th October, and here are the Leeds Utd headlines...
Too much spin from Chairman does not go unnoticed
Awarding winning Leeds United fanzine 'TheSquareBall' has hit out at Leeds Chairman Andrea Radrizzani over his tweet belittling a Leeds fan and trying to nullify Eddie Nketiah's comments to Sky Sports on Tuesday night about his unhappiness about not getting first team action.
Noel Whelan - Radrizzani too generous with long term contracts
Soccer pundit Noel Whelan has taken a swipe at Andrea Radrizzani regarding his Interview with the Times and the mistakes Leeds had made regarding our transfer dealings and the contracts that players had been handed.
He’s basically talking about the players not in the side. You’re looking at Vurnon Anita, Eunan O’Kane, Laurens De Bock, Jay-Roy Grot, Pawel Cibicki, Ouasim Bouy, Yosuke Ideguchi, Felix Wiedwald. They were all handed long-term contracts, and in some cases, Leeds spent major transfer fees.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga was also on big money when he was with us. There were a lot of deals that didn’t work out. That happens at every club, but I definitely think Radrizzani was too generous with long-term contracts for players who hadn’t proven themselves. He knows that as well. Plenty of them are still at Leeds, or out on loan, because we can’t get rid of them, or find someone willing to pay the same money. That’s embarrassing.
Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mirror, Leeds are in contract talks with Berardi over a new two year deal! Thoughts?
How important is 3 points on Saturday?
Leeds have won just twice in the last seven games which has seen the Whites drop down to 5th place. Another loss could potentially see Bielsa's men drop down to mid table. How important is Saturdays game?
Does Bielsa have it in him to change tactics, and even swap the team about? Would he rather fall on his sword rather than change?
With the squad we have, are we better equipped for promotion than we were last season?
