Dnt know why we got rid of matt smith anyway baffles me? And yes recall ajose let's see what he can do with a run in the side

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think he's on loan until the end of the season. So I assumed that means we can't recall him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Smith was poor, only half decent in the air

Agree0 Disagree0

SMitch

Smith poor? did you watch him last season? We had an average side last year yet apart from the odd game (at home anyway, won't comment on away games as wasn't there) he did pretty well. Sure not a world beater but he did score.

His stats was 20 starts + 19 as sub in league, scored 12 with 8 assists so what is wrong with that my friend?.

You have to have a team with different strengths in it, sure he was slow, not that great ball control (could work on that) but he was often effective in games and with Mac badge kisser an effective partnership little man/big man like Toshac/Kegan mould.

We should have kept him end of, stats back it up, if only Morrison could score like him to back up some of his other play but he can't.

Going for 2-0 to us Saturday, hope I can park my car as fair is there, always causes problems.

Agree0 Disagree0

So good he couldn't get in a poor Fulham side. His touch is awful hence he breaks down many attacks. He's only pro as he's seriously tall

Anyone know if there's been any more development on a new LUFC badge logo? There was lots of rumours last summer of Cellino changing it for a new kit. Also, any kit rumours, manufacturer?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Leave the friggin badge alone!

Agree0 Disagree0

Bic, I wasn't advocating changing it, just asking if anyone had heard anything 😃

Agree0 Disagree0

yes new badge good way of getting money as then we all have to buy new shirts etc

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2015 15:31:55
Ah but free shirts with season tickets - big fan of nostalgia lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2015 08:48:41
yes but this year it was old shirt

Just a thought & I know it's hypothetical but I wonder where we would be in the league if we had Smith & Ajose leading the line for us. Don't get me wrong at the time they went I wasn't that sorry to see either of them go.
I think maybe we overlooked Smiths goals last season due to Mcbadgekissers total but I'll be amazed if any of our current strikers get double figures this season like he did. Unless Morison has a spurt! Ha Ha, sorry made myself laugh with that stupid comment!
Also I don't understand why Redfern can't get Antenucci to do the job that Morison is doing. I'm sure he could do it & HE MIGHT SCORE A GOAL NOW AND THEN! Sorry didn't mean to shout :)

I like Antennuci but he is not disciplined enough to play front role on his own as he likes to wander. Unfortunately Antennuci does not win many aerial duels however I could see him as an attacking midfielder in a 5 man midfield

Agree0 Disagree0

Never saw the logic in selling Smith. Granted he wasn't the best footballer ever but he worked hard, scored goals & wanted to play for Leeds. He should have been kept. I wasn't too upset about Ajose leaving but he seems to be doing well at Crewe. I'm not one of the fans who instantly decides a player is awful just because of where we have signed him from or after he's played a game or two for us. If we can recall him then he should be given another chance (look at Murphy - who'd have thought it!?!?!?) as we have no real width anyway unless we play people out of position.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2015 09:54:14
does morison win headers no does morison run around chasing the ball no

Agree0 Disagree0

Have we been doing better with Morrison in the team? no - oops sorry. Make that yes

Agree0 Disagree0

Grip
We have won a few games. Goal keeper and defender have let less goals in than opposition!! Bonus!
Midfielders have assisted defence. Come up with a few goals and helped strikers to score. Job done!!
Striker. ??????? Oops!

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2015 16:19:12
so speedy all you do is go against what every one on here says so morison must be top striker and his goals for LEEDS are there for all to see

Agree0 Disagree0

No upup. There's nowhere I've ever said I thought he was a good striker or centre forward or that I'd select him. What I have said is that if we win I couldn't care less if he plays or scores. I don't understand why there is so much moaning and complaining following a very rare away win

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2015 13:34:46
Get Lambert in now!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

12 Feb 2015 16:00:03
Lol. More like can't talk to him until after Easter due to the de facto owner being compelled to take hibernation. Nice idea while it lasted.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why? Villa barely scored and he wasn't a fan of bring through young players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Got Norwich promoted with ease, done seriously well with those. Out of all the top sides, how many of them use youth players? Exactly, they're not essential.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2015 20:03:20
So? Norwich was ages ago. Chris Hughton and Malky Mackay were both league winners, yet are currently struggling in the bottom 4. Leeds are heavily reliant on youth development, so that is an important distinction.

Agree0 Disagree0

Players I would keep or buy mirco bamba sloth adriana (if he starts to produce ) beradi nt sure bout rest!

For me what has Adryan done not only here at Leeds but anywhere in the last 3 years?

I think it is just cause he is from Brazil that we all think he will be great but from what I have seen on the pitch he is soooo lightweight it is untrue.

I don't get it I really don't in terms of all the fuss over him, if he was a boy from Crossgates we would not pay him any attention, maybe I'm missing the point but for me his days are numbered so let's get rid

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Feb 2015 08:07:51
Agree with DG. We haven't seen enough from Adryan to justify paying £3m in the summer for him - at the moment anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2015 13:18:13
Speedy I think most of our italians apart from silverstri are loan with view to permanant deals at end of season and by that time our transfer embargo will be over which means we are in good position to only keep want we want and get rid of dross and bring in others to fill gaps that's how I read it anyway mot

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Only Adryan, Montenegro, Del Fabro, N'Goyi, Bamba, Benedici on loan. Rest are permanent

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2015 14:36:05
I can't see us keeping Adryan. Shame really has we haven't really seen his full potential, but with him not even in the squad and his parent club wanting around 3 million (I think it's about that), I'd be surprised if we stumped up that kind of money.

Agree0 Disagree0

JT. I think you are correct. And Benedicic unfortunately never had a chance due to injury so he will be a non starter as well

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Feb 2015 08:57:41
how many of our players are loanees & how much would it cost to buy them all in the summer, just to maintain our current squad?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

12 Feb 2015 10:27:19
how many of the loanees are actually playing or have played more than 10 games

Agree0 Disagree0

V good question Snutt
I'm guessing we won't want to keep them all, but there was so much transfer activity, I've no recollection of who we bought, loaned, or loaned with a buy out option. Info would be much appreciated
