Read a brief interview with Farke yesterday saying that he’d like Wöber to stay and says after testing today, whatever that means? they can hopefully get him integrated in the the squad.
It did look like with his exclusion from the squad against Harrogate that he might not be staying.
You would have to admit that a back three line up of Rodon, Wöber and Struijk with Amps shielding them would be potentially a formidable defense.

If Farke wants Wöber and he wants to play for us I’m happy because that defense with the safe hands of Meslier who had 21 clean sheets last season should be quite awesome.

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Jul 2024 08:12:04
Ooh, I’m going to get such a backlash for agreeing with you OP! ???
But yeah, adding in two capable wingbacks like Bogle and Jnr, and then getting the best offensively out of the glut of talent at our disposal, then we begin to look like a strong unit.

21 Jul 2024 08:23:39
Agree with it being a formidable defence, OP. Just that last part feels like you're chumming the waters for Baz ?.

21 Jul 2024 09:16:56
Haha Dill yes i do enjoy to wind up Baz but to be fair he does the same to me.
I know Mez is not everyone’s cup of tea but I like him, he’s a good keeper who I feel will iron out those parts of his game that he does not excel at yet.

No harm in agreeing Brighty, Baz is not only the King of false prophecies but the Emperor of the WUM’s.
You say what you want my friend, take no notice of Merciless Ming known as Baz, he’s just a puppy who knows diddly squat about football. ?

Getting back to the football, yes It does look a fantastic defense and with new signing Bogle and the revitalized Firpo as our wing backs, it does look exciting .

Fingers crossed we’re going to get this done this season and do it in some terrifying style against our opponents at the same time.

21 Jul 2024 10:03:57
I can only apologise in advance OP, but I just cannot be excited about Wobers return. (Testing is the normal tests every player undergoes before preseason starts and Wober didn’t undergo them due to Euros)

As I written previously, I’ll cheer anyone in the Leeds shirt BUT I’d rather it was not a player who dumped us in our hour of need.

But where I really step on over to the dark side and (ouch) have to mildly agree with Baz is I still believe Messellier is the weakest link in our squad.

Now I’m not in the “Gashlier” camp as Mess is a fantastic shot stopper and does very well on one to ones.

But he’s never eradicated those positioning flaws for me, he’s not dominant enough on crosses, especially given his height and predominantly retreats backwards, towards his line and not forwards on crosses and set pieces.

I get he’s young and agree he’s probably five years of his peak but I have to say I would be delighted to secure a better keeper than we currently have, in my opinion.

But it’s a game and site of opinions and happy to eat as much humble pie as is necessary, but I would throw whatever it takes to get Patterson and be set in goal for the next five years.

Agree op on wober. I said when he first went out on loan that I wouldn't mind him back and he was probably the most English football ready of the group.
I never understood all the fist shaking calls of no loyalty at these loan players. Of course they had no loyalty to leeds. They had been with us barely a season. And offered a way out even before they came to Elland Road.
It was the situation at the time made by marshe orta and rads.
If wober wants a second chance and if farke wants him he will be a big plus for our team.
As for mes. I have to agree that he will make a great goal keeper one day but I still need convincing that will be in the English league. I think he still needs to command the box more. Every corner against us he is crowded by the opposition because they know he is not confident in the air. But I must say with a settled and solid back 4 last season he was much more settled and pulled of some amazing saves.
As has been mentioned before all the outgoings this year have not affected the core of last years team. So some decent signings eg. Bogle will only make us stronger.

21 Jul 2024 10:30:44
He ain’t changing now. It’s in his dna. His whole persona suggests he knows best.
So welcome wober back if it strengthens us but mez is never going to get any better now. Or maybe after he is 30 and realises everybody else knew best and was only trying to help him. Just saying.

21 Jul 2024 11:58:29
I really hope Wober stays . as we gonner need a very, very strong defence .

Mission each match :

no opposition shots on target

as Meslier nearly ALWAYS let's in the first shot.

21 Jul 2024 12:32:46
Wober is with the squad in Germany so this is looking hopeful. Firpo is too. I thought he was going to Real Betis. I wouldn’t keep him as a left back but he’s def an asset on the left wing in this division.

21 Jul 2024 13:26:21
Likewise Class I would also eat enough humble pie to stuff a horse with my opinions, just so long as we arrive back to the Prem and try to ciment our future back there .
I back what we’ve got because I don’t see any changes in certain personnel and as you rightly point out, if they are wearing the white shirt and give their max you’ll hear no complaints from me, even with the Wöber story i think at the end of the season we will see if he deserves redemption from us fans.

21 Jul 2024 13:49:53
A better gk than Meslier would make promotion much, much more likely though OP. we all want it!

You don't want yet another disappointment do you? ?.

21 Jul 2024 15:38:07
Our coach rates him, obviously you know more than he does!

21 Jul 2024 16:05:00
Perhaps, just maybe Farke does OP. but DF has made plenty of mistakes in his coaching career . this is yet another one!

Bottom line OP
no other club unsurprisingly wants to sign Gashlier! . no actual offers from other clubs for Meslier EVER! .

That says it ALL how gash/ mediocre Meslier actually is!

21 Jul 2024 17:34:11
De Zerbi wanted him at Marseille but they didn’t or couldn’t pay the 20 Mil Leeds were asking for him.
Try again Baz.

21 Jul 2024 19:01:13
Speculative guff OP
No quotes from De Zerbi

Clutching at straws OP . much like Mes.

21 Jul 2024 21:45:52
I’ll let you struggle then with the unnecessary frustrations and angst as Ilan Meslier our number 1 keeper for this season and probably many seasons to come. For me I’m absolutely fine with it and delighted he’s not leaving for Marseille.
Happy days ?.

21 Jul 2024 23:40:13
OP we all suffered " unnecessary angst" on bottling promotion last season thanks to Mes amongst others.

22 Jul 2024 06:35:22
I’m amazed that you admit there were others, perhaps all bar Dan James who didn’t bottle it I’d imagine, who did seem to go off the boil when he returned from his disastrous Wales international.
I think you prefer to single out Meslier because you feel it is he alone, the sole whipping boy that is the problem for Leeds Utd but you know deep down that you are wrong but you can’t admit it, hence now switching to saying that, some other players are the problem also.
Which one is it Baz? Meslier, some other players, Farke or everyone at Leeds United?

Your angst is yours alone, with Meslier and now some other players!?,
it’s certainly not mine.

22 Jul 2024 09:53:34
OP silliness. don't be disingenuous m. you have read my posts om last season's failure

1.YOU had angst end of last season ( we all did) . unless you really are a Wendy . possible
2.Mes was mediocre to gash . save per shot ratio 17th out of 24 Champo keepers etc
3.DF made bad mistakes and bottled it
4.CS and WG in particular went AWOL last 11

Aa regards DJ, . he was the best Leeds United player by far in playoff final.

22 Jul 2024 11:56:47
Yes Baz all that in your very myopic make believe football originated mind.
Good luck with that.

22 Jul 2024 15:39:42
DJ was mostly w ank after the Welsh lost in their Euro bid tbf, Baz. Looked dejected. Played decent at Hull iirc.
