Watched the highlights of yesterday's game and must say I'm getting ever more excited about Joseph. He's looks like he's certainly been working hard through this summer, bulked up and very sharp.
Questions for you knowledgeable lot. If we get a striker such as smodicks, will he start over Joseph? And if he does start, could this be demoralising for Joseph having put all that energy in the close season and showing very good form in the preseason friendlies?
04 Aug 2024 21:45:53
Farke is gonner make do with MJ, JP and PB
No way a pricey player such as Sammi Szmodics is coming to Leeds this window.
04 Aug 2024 21:58:59
Szmodics isn't a striker. Problem solved.
04 Aug 2024 22:11:20
Szmosics not a striker. And thank god we not signing him especially at the the price quoted.
04 Aug 2024 23:03:04
Joseph’s very different in an out and out number nine. Looking immensely good and another great orta buy! How many rabbits can one man pull from a hat and still get slated
Genuine question
How much did orta buy gnoto summerville mes struijk Joseph and Rutter for and how much are they worth? Is like football manager with a squad for of wonderkids!
04 Aug 2024 23:24:47
Pierre Lasooggav, Cibiki, Ekuban, Felix, Grot
How many donkeys out of a stable before doors are shut Bermo?
05 Aug 2024 00:16:19
Chris indeed the list is endless of Orta duds . he particularly hasca penchant for gk duds : Kiko, Gashlier, Klaessen, Wieldwald
The irony of Berm rating Meslier who is a million miles from getting even one full international cap
Yet slated KP with a gazillion posts as pony . yet he still picked up 30 England international caps ☺.
05 Aug 2024 00:44:36
What brothers Chris and Baz say.
05 Aug 2024 06:10:22
Made my personal feelings known on Orta. Did more bad than good and the repercussions are still being felt two seasons later.
05 Aug 2024 07:01:54
Do some Google research and back it up by proving what percentage of “potential based” signings, actually deliver. What defines a good return vs poor return?
Can’t be done can it, so all arguments are relatively moot in this one!?
Yes, lots of duds. Yes, also many great signings who will / have more than delivered in football and financial terms. It’s all down to opinion, and positive/ negative outlooks this one imo.
05 Aug 2024 09:36:18
Agree bright it’s all subjective
Will say Chris you mention ortas flops
Lasogga was a loan so not an awful signing and we made money on grot and ekuban so not great sigings but if small profit made that’s not a bad one either
Baz the fact you rate Nigel martyn but then constantly say he don’t know what his talking about is the reason I give you zero credit when it comes to mes.
05 Aug 2024 11:01:30
Comparing Martin to Meslier is a waste of time, a goalkeepers role has changed so radically, he is almost part outfield player as well as goalkeeper.
It’s also a very hard thing to do and often leads to the opposition attackers profiting a goal if there is the slightest error.
Something Nigel Martin may have not been able to do effectively.
05 Aug 2024 12:04:28
Bang on, OP. Goalkeeper roles have drastically changed over the years. Same with CBs. Need to do the job that's always been asked of them, along with being able to distribute the ball effectively.
05 Aug 2024 12:33:58
OP its all been thoroughly documented before about Gash.
. not only is he mediocre at best at being a part ' outfield ' player
but he is also gash to mediocre in almost all aspects of other goalkeeping duties/ skills .
Its only " one on one" where he could be rated quite good
Champo gks saves per shot stats 2023/ 24 table comparisons Mes was wayyy down list in 17th out of 24
But even forget stats if you will.
watching him in 4 seasons of matches one more than knows enough of every strength and many weaknesses of Le Gash.
05 Aug 2024 12:41:05
Drastically changed Dill?
. passing ball out yes . but that's all!
And as you well know Le Gash ain't a good gk.
hence your frequent wishes on here for replacement/ upgrade gk ( to Gash)
05 Aug 2024 13:44:27
Great point role of the keeper and indeed football has massively changed
For the record I have never compared martyn to mes it was martyn who compared himself to mes and said mes was better
For me mes is 100% better in the air than martyn who was known for being useless on crosses. Both great at one on ones and both world class at shot stopping
Personally I would have to agree with martyn and I think mes is better but I’m swayed but martyn who probably is best placed to judge
I mean when it comes to how good mes and martyn were/ are are we going to listen to martyn or baz?
Personally I don’t listen to baz on anything certainly not goalkeeping.
05 Aug 2024 14:11:37
Berma
OR
you can actually watch games properly. lol.
and listen to Leeds youtubers and 90% of Leeds fans re Gash
The number of times Gash let's in first shot on goal is astonishing!
World class shot stopper ?
#Berma riduculous hyperbole.
05 Aug 2024 15:19:07
Baz I’ll explain this again…. Martyn said that about le gash… not me
I don’t listen to YouTubers I don’t listen to fans… I’m listening to martyn a point I’ve made clear but clearly you seem to miss?
I don’t know if you’ve missed it to spark a row between me, it seems there are certain people you target on here for conflict or if you genuinely don’t understand it.
I will say this in all honesty you seem to want to start conflict which is something my mum did. If you ever feel the need to reach out and talk to someone I can be really good for mental health in case it might be needed, it might not I don’t know you well enough to say but it’s cmsomethinv I’m very passionate about since my mother passed away
If you need someone to talk to mate please reach out mental health is not an illness or something to be ashamed about and conflict is not the way forward mate
All the best either way mot.
05 Aug 2024 19:30:56
Baz I like you just the way you are.
05 Aug 2024 19:59:11
Cheers Georgey ?.
05 Aug 2024 20:55:58
There's a lot more to it these days, Baz. got to position themselves for regularly taking passes, coming much higher up the pitch so they can anticipate and sweep effectively, better distribution us a must.
When Martyn was about it was pretty much just goalkeeping duties and launching the ball up the pitch.
05 Aug 2024 22:45:40
What exactly makes you tubers the great and all knowing oracles of football?
They are just like ex footballer pundits just trying to make themselves popular by just repeating the same nonsense garbage that other pundits spout out their back sides, only at least ex pro’s have played the game. As far as I’m concerned the you tubers also repeat what some other you tuber said only those parrots don’t even know what they are talking about.
I now understand why your knowledge of football is so basic when you make references to you tubers as your source of information about football.
Try supporting the team you say you love rather than referencing certain players with crappy derogatory names.
That’s schoolboy stuff in my books.
06 Aug 2024 01:13:46
OP I particularly recommend Ger of The View and the analyst Locky. both are excellent. Kagey is quite good.
Ther certainly don't spout " nonsense garbage " . and as you say you have never watched them OP. how would you even know?
06 Aug 2024 04:43:21
What Baz said.
OP
Isn't this forum itself a slight written version of such sites? A multifarious blog if you will. Why seek to stifle different opinions and possible stimulating debate?
We can't all predict Top 6, champions, O'Leary misfits and so forth. Some of us are realistic fans.
06 Aug 2024 06:50:27
It’s my opinion George isn’t that what this forum is about?
You and particularly Baz appear to enjoy making other posters feel they are stupid because your view is the correct one when it is most definitely not, in my opinion.
You also George repeatedly post, "what Baz said "
Why not share with us your opinions on our football club instead of Baz’s recycled and regurgitated YouTuber opinions. Surely you have views which are different.
06 Aug 2024 07:29:18
OP I find that I'm in agreement with Baz opinions and his perception of facts around 95% of the time. Most of the time in respect of an issue started on a thread he posts just before me. I simply corroborate his view rather than regurgitate or duplicate (which would be unhelpful and plagiaristic) . There have been a few occasions we disagree which can result in most stimulating debate or humble mutual respect. Suggest take leaf ? out of my book ?.
Fwiw, I believe we are only 3 right signings away from winning this league but they have to be the right ones. Blades are our main threat imo.
06 Aug 2024 11:26:38
Cheers Georgey.
06 Aug 2024 13:13:37
Facts my Backside, carefully sourced from YouTubers ?
Prefer to take a leaf out my book thank you.

06 Aug 2024 16:33:51
Some of these YTers have a following in excess of a regular attendance on a match day at ER. Have they also been deceived like our Baz?
06 Aug 2024 21:32:55
George that’s why too many people are like sheep, why believe one person’s opinion as true just because he has a media platform.
Think for yourself.
06 Aug 2024 21:50:36
They are YouTubers for effs sake! Their knowledge and experience, barring one or two, is less than some on here. Half of them repeat each other, and people who watch more than one therefor see two or more say the same thing, and assume it’s factual. Gullibility for sale!
