ok just did a post inspired by mr happy's weakest leeds line up and did worst leeds in my time as fan so thought I would do a positive one of best leeds team in my time as a fan (too much time on my hands and now have baby fridays have gone from pub to this)
Lukic, Dorgio, Mills, Woodgate, Fairclough, McCalister, Batty, Speed, Bowyer, Viduka, Chapman
Subs, Martyn, Strachan, Hasslibaink, Ferdinhand, Kelly
Manager sir howard wilkinson
others thoughts and best teams, must all be from since you have been a leeds fan so no revie team unless you was in the stands cheering them on)

Great selection Bermondsey….well thought out selection mate. Would only differ in Strachan edging out Batty, and Tony Yeboah instead of Chapman. If only we had that line-up against Watford!
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah strachan for batty was hard one for me but thought we needed someone to win the ball and loved yeboha but his form went down hill a bit and fancy champam and viduka would work well together. I have given this too much thought
Agree0

My personal favourites:
Martyn
Woodgate Radebe Ferdinand
Dacourt
Speed Strachan McCallister Kewell (I know that won't be popular)
Viduka Hasselbaink
Subs: Robinson, Dorigo, Haaland purely because of Keane incident:), Batty, Bowyer, Milner, Yeboah
Worst team:
Rachubka
O'Dea Roque Junior Lucic
Olembe Johnson Korsten Chapuis
Ricketts Paynter Showumni
Subs: Warner, Capaldi, Carlisle (really can't stand always whinging about something), Gregan, Wright, Hunt, Poleon (I definitely know this won't be popular but is honest opinion.)
By the way we'll beat Watford 3-1 if not 3-0 :)
Agree0
Disagree0
If only we had one of those players in our squad now. Thought it's nice to see that the J B M's worst team is still worse than what we have at the minute.
Agree0
Disagree0
Martyn, dorigo, ferdinand, woodgate, Kelly, kewell, bowyer, mccallister, strachan, yeboah, cantona. Subs, lukic, radebe, sterland, batty, speed, Sheridan, viduka.
Agree0
Disagree0
Good God, I must be really getting old. Don't remember half of these players - and my best would include Bremner, Giles, Eddie Gray etc. etc.
Agree0
Disagree0
I just missed out on Sheridan but my step dad always raved about him and Cherry. Sterland was close in on my team and cantona was amazing but was mainly a sub for us. Anyone see the section on Yeboha on 50 MOTD programme good to see just one section about a player and it was Yeboha. and he didn't even make my team!
Agree0
Disagree0
You cannot have a worst team without Thomas Brolin.
Agree0
Disagree0
Speedy. may be getting old but had a chance to see true leeds great. only chance I had to see them was old videos (not DVD which makes me of an age I guess). Still anything bremner could do Palmer could do better :)
Agree0
Disagree0
Forgot about cherry, but defo one to be considered, your step dad knew what he was talking about bermondsey, missed yeboah on motd, but should've had his own show on goal of the month when he played for us!

Mr happy put a fun banter post about best leeds team he could field at the moment and it got me thinking and I have given this some thought my best leeds team. all the these legends have worn the famous leeds shirt in my long suffering time as a fan. this team would make any team tremble. with laughter
Paul Rachubka, Stephen Crainie, Roque Junior, Wooten, Armoundo sa, Seth Johnson, Neil Killkenny, Michael Rickets, Derick Lilly
Subs, Jason Brown, Enochi Summowni, Danny granville, Thomas Brolin, Jodie Morris, Alan Wright
Manager Sir David Hockaday.what a team I send a challege to find a team that good, they have to of worn the shirt since you have been a leeds fan (all of mine have been since 1996 even thought I started MOT'ing in 89, the first few years were kind if only I knew what lied ahead!)

Enochi Summowni (ha ha ha ha)
What's that coming over the hill - it's Enochi Summowni!
Brilliant call only surpassed by Thomas Brolin in my opinion! Paid £3.999.999 over the odds
Agree0
Disagree0
Paul Rachubka, a name to strike fear into any team.
Agree0
Disagree0
I felt sorry for paynter was good in league one but injured and never really fitted in, shumomini got my vote as he was bad in the league below and for that reason only. Brolin was close but he did score 4 in his first 8 just went down hill after that. Paul Okon must be bad I don't really remember him! and sticky showing your age a bit ain't you? think some of your names were before my time

Hi guys I'm from halifax and need people to go to games with, I can't afford too often (saving up for a house with the lass) but is there any pick up points or meeting places I could easily link up when I have a spare £30? Would be nice to get to a game as none of my mates are leeds for some reason.

Looking forward to a good win and performance tomorrow which should provide a welcome break from the doom and gloom merchants. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome wasnt built in a day but didn't it pretty much fall in under a year? That said I do trust our Italian to lead us to better days

I never want us to lose but perhaps if we do we might all get a break from all the mindless optimists who seem to be in complete denial. There's a big difference between 'doom and gloom' and being a realist Mr P.

Udinise vs Cagliari! Only joking that's what I thought it may be at the beginning of season though! Will be a tough game but a real test of where we are. Nervously anticipation probably sums it up nicely.
Agree0
Disagree0
Agree about the realisim. makes me laugh how some people post on here like they think some of us want leeds to lose. I hope we win tomorrow but if I had to put a score on it I would say 4-0 to watford. hope I am wrong but can't see us getting anything. all about being realistic with some hope. on the same note I got a lotto ticket but not expecting to be a millionaire

Ah I thought your first game was Bolton ausman. Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself buddy. Oh and you are diversity in its finest sense! An english man named ausman with a Chinese child! Good man, I think your affine example that leeds fans seen a bunch of racist thugs like people like to portray us! But anyway is it your lads first game?

Sloth and Adryan, or Sloth OR Adryan - what do people think? Both sound better than most of the midfielders we have at the moment, and at only £600k for Sloth that sounds a good deal.
Believable0
Unbelievable0
22 Aug 2014 15:23:08
Adryan could very easily become our best player by a country mile. He's got bags of potential and has shown it in Brazil's youth squads. I don't know about Sloth though
Agree0

Sloth was picked by the Danish FA in the star player team 12/13 so can't be that bad.

We currently have 9 recognised centre midfielders and looking to bring in another 2, in the form of Adryan and Sloth, taking us to 11.
The same could be said for the guys up front, Ajose, Poleon and maybe Atenucci can double up as winger, but the rest are out and out front men (Smith, Hunt, Morison, Walters, Doukara, Sharp) so 6 strikers.
At the back we are looking balanced, in terms of numbers and positions. There may be a question of quality but the back four of Byram, 2 from Pearce, Cooper, Bellusci and Warnock on the left looks OK. Taylor, Berardi and Wooton as cover.
I understand we are looking to move a few on and am all for building a squad as we ned it to challenge for the seasons, but at present it is looking very very unbalanced and until it is built to a level where we have sufficient cover in all positions, we will be stumble along in the next few fixtures playing the diamond formation which doesn't work. Then we will have to wait for the guys to gel, so for the next 10 games I can't see us winning more than 5.
In conclusion, can we please sign some WINGERS, think of the children damn it, we need WINGERS

Got a bit bored so decided to put a "worst case scenario" team together. I know White is in there and not long back I said we should be using him, but we'll put his inclusion down to popular opinion. Cairns, Killock and Berardi are untested, but warrant inclusion for now at least.
Shouldn't be knocking the lads I know, but it's in my nature to be cynical and I ain't changing that now.
Anyone do better?

The Hock announced the team has been hit by a Virus! I'm not one for excuses, but could there be something in that? After all Smith, Murphy, Bianchic & Byram were that bad on Tuesday there could be something to it. OK, so I'm looking for excuses :)

Steve Evans on the Agard move to Bristol.
A bemused Evans said: “Wow – you turn down Leeds United and drop a league and go to Bristol City. That’s no disrespect to Bristol City, they’re a wonderful football club, but I am surprised.
“I find it surprising that you would turn down a household, worldwide name in Leeds United and go to Bristol City.
“You can go to the wildest place in Africa and when someone says Leeds, people know Leeds United, don’t they?”
Wonder if he wants another job?

Was a good winger but at 33 he won't be running at full backs for 90mins, will be the same as putting Tonge out wide IMO ;)
Agree0

Good point about not being able to cover ground for 90 minutes however I think worth a shot to come off bench for 20 minutes if need a goal. offers something different and was class, not that long ago he was in line for an england call up like warnock and he has done good job for leeds why can't etherington?
