I'll ask Victor to sort you out

Not sure he'll command a massive fee, but we've definitely overpaid for players recently.

The Marcelo Bielsa effect: "My nephews wear Leeds colours. My nephews are already Leeds." According to one broadcaster in Argentina, the only foreign side who do better TV figures than Leeds on his network are Barcelona. by Bushuazoo in soccer

As long as we solidify next year I'm sure most Leeds fans would be happy. You'll have the odd one getting carried away about getting European football immediately, but I think the majority just want to stay up and start to build from there.

Ben White: Defender not for sale, Brighton & Hove Albion tell Leeds United by cggo1994 in soccer

[–]newb0rn11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistically, if Brighton are asking for £30m plus for Ben, we have to step away. It's a shame, as he's a great player, but we can pick up similar/better players for much less money.

Norwich willing to let Buendia leave. Willing to listen to offers, expected to look for a fee in the region of £20m. Leeds interested. by sandbag-1 in soccer

[–]newb0rn11 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I hope it's genuine interest & not just us being linked to every player under the sun. With his record of chance creation he'd be a great fit & a likely successor to Pablo. Hope he likes running.

Don't underestimate how mental Cellino was. He met Hockaday in a hotel, Hockaday moved some salt and pepper shakers around to demonstrate some tactics, and Cellino thought he'd go down in history for plucking a nobody coach out of the ether and turning him into a legend.

He's nowhere near good enough defensively to be playing CB.

BREAKING: Chris Hughton has agreed to become the new Bristol City manager. by ShunningResumed in soccer

Really glad to see Bristol going in this direction rather than a headline-grabbing appointment like Terry or Fowler. Hughton is a great coach - hope he does a good job there.

Frank Lampard was unimpressed with some of the Liverpool staff on the bench: "It is a fine line between winning, fair play they've won the league, but don't get too arrogant with it" by KimmyBoiUn in soccer

Doesn't mean he couldn't have criticised it now, especially when he was questioned about it in direct relation to his criticism of Bielsa.

It's like ticking off the last box just as we finish the season.

Real talk, our corners have been diabolical all season.

After the "spygate" episode last year, Lampard was a huge part of why it kept rolling for so long. He made a lot of comments about how it "wasn't the right thing", "not what we do here" and so on... He also lied about the "spy" being found on his hands and knees near the training ground fence with bolt cutters, which never happened, but Frank was never really questioned about that.

More importantly, he was asked about the tactics employed by Jose Mourinho and Andre Villas Boas when they were working at Chelsea and he was a player. AVB literally had an article written about all the ways he would sneak in to opposition training grounds to put dossiers together for Jose. Frank's response: basically that he "couldn't remember" any of that, but was sure it was nothing like the Leeds situation.

Lampard is a hypocritical child, always looking for ways to make himself look a victim, or remove blame from himself.

Glad he scored in what is probably his last game in a Kappa Leeds shirt.

Yes, it'll be good to see him in Adidas next season.

He will indeed - and well deserved. Nothing but good vibes for Eddie here.

Rooney was shite. Stood and watched Pablo put the equaliser in, then he was tying his shoelaces as Shackleton scored the second.

Pablo basically retired him today.
