something interesting you may have missed - Klaesson is to have his contract terminated at Polish club Raków Częstochowa after arriving at the club slightly overweight, but while backroom staff had formulated a plan to recover his fitness, Klaesson has recently been spotted by fans in McDonald’s. McKennie a possible influence?

He’s burgered a great opportunity there Alf, thought he would have relished the chance for first team football but sounds like he’s %#*^% on his chips on this occasion.
I’ll get my coat….

Victor Orta
the specialist in signing duff goalies ( 100% record 4 out of 4 whilst at Leeds) .
13 Aug 2024 16:07:16
Yes, he saddled us with the hopeless Kiko.
13 Aug 2024 16:13:07
Baz, I seem to remember you describing Darlow as a "Proper Goalie" when we signed him. maybe you're only as good as Orta at spotting them?
13 Aug 2024 16:51:04
Ani Darlow was competent enough at previous club but I was shocked by his performance in Cup and pen shootout for Leeds .
Regressive Leeds gks.
{Ed001's Note - he has always been poor. He was terrible at both Forest and Newcastle. He has not regressed, he is just rubbish.}
13 Aug 2024 17:20:28
OK fair enough Ed001.
. I don't know if you saw the Salford vs Leeds cup game particularly the pen shoot out but those were the worst attempts to save penalties I have ever seen from any gk in 60 years
Must be his worst game ever
#2 new goalkeepers please.
{Ed001's Note - I didn't but I am not surprised. Like I said, he is hopeless. I was shocked he is still at this level of the game, even as a back up. I would not be looking at him if I was recruiting for a League 2 team. I really do not understand how some goalies manage to fool people into believing they are any good.}
13 Aug 2024 19:07:01
11 penalties at Salford and he never looked like stopping any of them.
13 Aug 2024 19:31:13
As usual Baz changing facts so he looks correct. Darlow barely even played in the last 4 years or so (look up his stats) and good only to make up the numbers. Very odd kiko-esque signing.
13 Aug 2024 20:59:17
Was he competent Baz? 14 first team appearances in 9 years?
13 Aug 2024 21:52:53
Lol Alfonzo and Ani
Well .
1) Darlow is indeed competent of gracing bench . super competent in fact
And
2) I have seen him keep in a match for the florists or was it the geordies and he looked competent enough ( certainly not the goalkeeping train wreck of that Salford match )
13 Aug 2024 21:55:08
Absolutely ? blooming right LUFCfeath ✅️.
. my Grannie ( god bless her soul) would have done a better job with them penalties.
13 Aug 2024 23:26:56
On Conor's content creation channel (OP alert ?) , there's a fairly frequent guest on there, a former professional player whom played with Darlow at one of his clubs. He had a number of derogatory words to say about him.
13 Aug 2024 23:38:21
Silence is golden.
14 Aug 2024 04:41:52
My brother tried telling me he wasn't that bad a keeper and referenced him helping Newcastle get promoted, which was 16/ 17. That was his last good season and one that he played regularly in. 7/ 8 years ago.
Since then he's had pretty limited game time and hasn't looked convincing at all.
14 Aug 2024 05:51:03
I’m sure this post started off about the Big Mac KK? Agendas will agend tho!
As I recall, “some” also called for him to start ahead of Mes?
14 Aug 2024 06:30:50
There you go Baz, he is a pile of junk even brother George has confirmed that from his reliable you tube pals.
But it does raise the question why he was bought in the first place if he was so rubbish.?
I can understand some fans complaining that we don’t have a decent number 2 keeper if Meslier becomes injured. This would be a cause for concern if it happened and not Mez being our number 1.
It seems to me that the club is taking a chance that Mez doesn’t get injured and investing in cheap back up GK’s so to utilize funds elsewhere on the pitch.
14 Aug 2024 07:09:11
Worst 700k spent what a waste of money.
14 Aug 2024 10:44:43
That’s a very valid point OP, and should be of much more concern, to all fans, than Mes holding onto the jersey.
As an aside, Sam Johnstone has lost the slot at Palace, and is likely to move elsewhere in the PL, starting a GK merry go round! Maybe we will pick someone up out of that?
14 Aug 2024 11:01:35
Brother George. i. guess you. are referring to David " Browney " Brown
OP . the negligence of Leeds gk recruitment is astonishing. you may be drying your tears of disappointment yet again end of season in another " miss" campaign because of it.
14 Aug 2024 12:01:54
OP Yes I watched a couple of videos dealing with the subject and felt an instant connection with Conor and his guest via telepathy and not actually meeting or contacting them. Nevertheless, a lifelong friendship developed. Remember the universally accepted principle - watching a video during which an interviewee makes derogatory remarks equals friendship with the viewing audience.
14 Aug 2024 12:05:05
Baz Brownie is proper ? of ? imo.
14 Aug 2024 12:34:07
Arguably our demise last season was more due to us missing far too many goal opportunities rather than our defense structure.
14 Aug 2024 12:51:39
OP Agreed but the causation behind that was a lack of variation, lack of rotation and lack of playing Joseph.
14 Aug 2024 12:53:12
Err OP . not scoring . but also conceding plenty .4 at QPR .3 at Boro.2.at Watford, Saints. etc.
