Was at the Farsley game today.. Me and my mate were talking to a south African guy who was the agent for the 2 trialists and Max Gradel. He wouldn't tell me the names of the trialists other than they were German and the lad who played up front was an ex Stuttgart player and he was 29. I tried to prize info out of him but he said if Leeds didn't want him, be was off to Blackburn to have a trial there. I asked about Max and if he wanted to stay. All he said was 'we'll see' he did indicate in a fashion it was all down to £££ though. The lad who played up front was very good and he scored a hat trick. Grella got the other in a 4-0 win.. Saw Somma too but not to speak to.. By all accounts Mendy is a non starter...For now. He has gone back to France.

Another nobody like Becchio, or Snodgrass, or Gradel...

Becchio 2 in 3 striker at previous club, Snoddy highly rated Scot youth, Gradel stared at L1 level with Bournemouth on loan from Leics, these guys migt be alright but the others weren't nobodys
Agree0

If i remember correctly in the early 2000s we had a team of somebodys but look what that got us nearly no club and league one for a few seasons yes we need to spend what we can afford but not on has beens
Agree0

I was also at the game and can back up original poster as I was stood a few feet away.
Agree0

Becchio & Gradel were nobodies. Luz has been fairly prolofic beforehand
Agree0
Disagree0
Yep we should only spend what we can afford.
Trouble is we can afford millions but our Chairman will only spend pennies.
I'm still shocked when anybody trots out the old line about how paying an average Championship wage is somehow the same as paying £7m for Seth Johnson. are some of our 'fans' really so simple?

I was also at the game and both the german players shone throughout. Only Farsley but Felix put all his goals away well good to see he wanted the ball at every opportunity MOT

According to the YEP tonight (Sat 06 Aug) Mendy is back in France but a deal is being looked at :)
The 3 trialists at Farsley are named as Ibrahim Maaroufi & two Germans Rot-Weiss - striker Felix Luz & midfielder Dennis Grote.
Of the 3 (on paper at least) Grote looks best.

He was average... The striker was the best ..

Great if Mendy signs.
Its really obvious that with the defence watertight, an abundance of quality centre midfielders and McCormack & Paynter scoring goals for fun what the side is really crying out for is a 4th winger, especially one who has played the last 8 years in the mighty Czech league.
If Mendy signs he's a cheap replacement for the departing Snodgrass.
Why on earth would we have a squad with 3 right wingers (4 if you include Max) and only one right back and 2 centre midfielders?

Luz and Grote are s**t
Is it a joke????????????
MOT from Germany

Sick to death of s**t freebie bates out get behind this drive bates out or we will be back in league 1
Agree0

When will you idiots get it into your heads that there is no point in a 'Bates out' campaign as HE OWNS THE CLUB The only way bates goes is if someone buys him out.
Agree0
Disagree0
Having watched him play LIVE for the Brisbane Roar back in 08/09, he's a bloody naff player
slow as all hell and very wasteful - 9 goals in 45 apps sets that out clearly (in a league where it was about league 2 football at best)

Half-time ... Farsley 0 - 3 Leeds. Grella and trialist got 2. (looks good)

Both players looked ok Felix knows how to finish
Agree0

Actually Luz scored 3. I was at the game, he looked very sharp but it is hard to judge because of the level of opposition, would probably put away the chance paynter fluffed tho

Montgomery & Quinn starting for Sheff Utd so I guess they are not signing for Leeds this weekend

Lol Montgomery told us to get lost last year when he saw the wages on offer.
Can't blame him.

Gradel and snoddy both started but i wouldn't 100% rule them out of going, especialy after that performance snoddy's head was in the premiership and gradel not much better tbh
