Really starting to dawn on me that we won't be getting in a replacement for Pontus or rather that White is the " replacement" . This is based on the fact that the club has known for some time about Pontus and no one has come in and we haven't been linked to anyone by a serious journo . Plus the fact Bielsa likes to get his key business done early in the Summer . All I can say is this is totally misguided of the club and naive of MB . This season is his last chance to get us up and if he goes into a 46 game champ season with Cooper, plus two green CB's in White and Struik plus the makeshifts , it is an absolute massive gamble . We will be reliant on " outscoring the opposition " rather than winning low scoring games and can see us like last year ending up chasing games after letting in soft goals . The long ball / set piece exponents will be rubbing their lips! This is about realism, not negative or positive before anyone starts . And before the usual " positive " posters start screaming let's give the young guys a chance . You just can't be doing that if you are really serious about getting out of this division! It's actually not fair on the young lads . The only conclusion being if we don't get in a proper replacement, then this regime is not serious about promotion and whilst I will continue supporting the team I love, I certainly won't be getting my hopes up for our promotion prospects .

if we don't get in cb it is a disgrace and we do not want nor deserve to be promoted

facts last year defensively we were weak, cooper just ain't up to it, ponuts arguably our best defender, last year we played full backs in centre back and it cost us promotion

what are leeds and mb thinking, it is not on to us fans.

I completely agree RHC. About time u spoke sense😀.

No quality experienced CB may mean no promotion. I am still hoping we are going to do some more positive business, but not holding my breath.

The only happy people will be Qataris. Stepping in to buy a Premier team still in the Championship and only paying Championship money.

I've been getting slated for pointing out Radz lack of ambition for Leeds United for along time now. RHC this was evident last summer and again in January.

16 Jul 2019 21:12:54
And I fear the qataris are not coming.

Made this argument as soon as PJ was sold. Glad everyone is starting to realise, an injury to Coops or supsension puts in the mire.

They never were just paper talk. Leeds will be sold off
In shares and split up into different companies just like Bates did. It’s sad but that is where we are.

The CB situation is pure Bielsa! Last year people were moaning about the lack of CB cover and what does he do, release Diaz and sell Aappo, part of a successful under 23 defence and then he sells paudie and Kitching as well. On top of that Shaunessy appears to be one of those looking for a club.

If you try and understand him, he doesn’t feel the same way about the CB position as many posters on here. He thinks it’s possible for players in other positions to adapt. He obviously likes the look of White who is very much a Bielsa style player, young, keen to develop and good on the ball. He also seems to think Struick is the one of the 23s who has come out of the last year much stronger.

It’s interesting that neither of Struick or White have gone on tour, I suspect there will be a lot of work going in on them this week and I hope we get the chance to see them play together.

I think we will still see at least one more CB come in, but given the way Bielsa works, it’s likely to be 2 from Cooper, White, Struick or Ayling to start against Bristol, which will be a pretty good first test for them!

Great mixed metaphor RH!

17 Jul 2019 07:45:04
Alf your the only one that noticed my BOJO like unintended blooper of a mixed metaphor 😜 Spanish really hope your right about another CB .

17 Jul 2019 07:48:26
Maybe that's why even though he plays great football he hasn't won very much.

17 Jul 2019 10:15:26
Its not White i am worried about, rate the lad, its lack of height and the probability we will lose one through injury or suspension. Coops is not great, Pascal i like but we need more than him as cover and as we have no one in academy to step up def need to get one in. No good putting midfielders and full backs in there.
