Seems to be a lot of interest in mez. Might be able to get few mill for him and even struik to spurs for 25. Snatch their hand off. Where on his day he is able. Easily replaceable for 15-20. Could be bit of in and out January. As we always say. Get it done early as poss.

Agree8 Disagree0

28 Dec 2024 00:53:28
Be flabbergasted if Arsenal, Man U, Spuds " interested " in Mes let alone make an offer. even as a number 2

Mes going back to France next summer seems distinctly plausible and likely.

28 Dec 2024 05:12:56
What if the replacement for Mez is worse? Is he really that bad that it's worth the risk?

We are top of the table. Let's keep Marching on together; one squad, one club, one Leeds!

28 Dec 2024 05:49:53
Are we not able to buy a good goalie mot?
You see flaws in our management and scouts?

28 Dec 2024 08:54:34
Evidently not Aus .7 years of Kiko and Mes .

28 Dec 2024 10:30:27
The likely scenario for Meslier is if we are promoted he will sign a new contract, if we don’t get promoted he will possibly want to leave.
In the scenario of us getting promoted and Man U or Arsenal wanting him as a second keeper is a no go for Mez as he will want to be first choice keeper.
Voila, in a nutshell.

28 Dec 2024 11:28:40
If mes leaves, we need to find a solid championship goalkeeper

Maybe listen to the players, coaches, managers and pundits and buy whoEver is the current best goalkeeper in the leauge. I believe they do a vote on this, not sure who the winner was… oh no wait a minute.

28 Dec 2024 11:54:13
Managers or manager berm? One makes sense. One is ridiculous. I would say there are minimum 10 managers in this league that would beg for our defense and work rate but not goalie.

28 Dec 2024 12:49:23
Indeed Aus. even League 1 teams would not beg for Mes. he will go to one fairly mediocre French team who have not done due diligence / research on his actual performances past 4 seasons

OP. IF Mes is our 1st choice gk in EPL Leeds going down. voila in a nutshell.

28 Dec 2024 13:40:10
Aus, we can buy a good goalie if a good goalie is a good goalie.

What if he doesn't gel or the playstyle doesn't suit? Do we want to take that risk while mes is doing so well?

28 Dec 2024 14:13:05
All those clubs in for a dud keeper can’t be that bad really. Just look a one we sold because his dad played for MU and was so small not bad after all was he. Just saying??.

28 Dec 2024 14:48:28
Berm I like your post generally, but if you’re referring to last years ‘ Golden Gloves Award’ for Messellier?

Mess actually shared the award with Stephen Pears of WBA, the award is given for the most clean sheets in a season, of course keepers play a big part in that but we know WBA (Bartley) and Leeds had extremely strong defences.

And obviously there will be a correlation between number of shots faced for all goalkeepers in the Championship with keepers in weaker sides naturally facing many more.

Johannson at Stoke brilliant keeper a steal at £1million has a plus goals prevented score of 7.6 this season currently holding second place (Pears is currently top 7.9) so his expected goals conceded against the ratio of shots he has faced is positive, incredible.

Stoke sacked their Manager after losing to us, they are an incredibly poor side but blessed with an excellent keeper.

By comparison we are top of the league with the best squad and our young keeper has a goals prevented score of - 1.0 and currently sits in 14th place.

Now he is joint second in clean sheets, (13) one behind Blunts and Cooper (£2million) on 14.

Brilliant we are top, and brilliant Illan saved that early chance which turned around our away form but Victor Johannson has performed significantly better over the past two seasons, and has never won an award.

Statistics can be read many ways but I believe many recognise there are better keepers in this league than Illan.

Brilliant post Class
All gone quiet on team Berma ?.

28 Dec 2024 15:28:30
The irony is if true Man U and Arsenal interested in Meslier means that he is too good to be at Leeds.
What is in a nutshell is that both of our opinions will always be at polar opposites and I’m certain that it is the sole thing we will ever agree with on this forum.

28 Dec 2024 15:48:45
OP comedy gold ???.

28 Dec 2024 19:27:37
Class post Class ?.

28 Dec 2024 19:29:40
OP No-one is too good to be at Leeds. ????.

28 Dec 2024 23:07:04
It’s funny that Stoke City have conceded a shed load of goals this season and according to certain critics none of them were the fault of Johansson but his defenders. On the flip side when we were in the premiership, equally we conceded a lot of goals but they were all the fault of Meslier and not our worst defense ever. !
You can make a carrot look like an apple if you really want to believe it so.

28 Dec 2024 23:31:15
No just to make clear

Mes won goalkeeper in team of the year, this was voted by all managers, players and some selected pundits

He won the vote as most experts voted for him, this is not up for debate but fact. If they know more than us mere fans then mes is good or clearly rated by the majority of players and managers he comes up against

This is something many fans choose to ignore as it goes against there narrative when facts are more football fans fail to understand the goalkeeping position as it is unique

I played in goal and I agree with the experts but then what do we know.

29 Dec 2024 00:19:42
OP and Berma

the only 2 Leeds fans who rate Mes. # world class # no ?.

29 Dec 2024 00:33:10
Take stats over so called Champo football player "experts" opinions ? any day of the year

They probably all voted Mes from merely watching the Leicester Leeds matches.

29 Dec 2024 07:16:11
Baz you can’t look further than that ever present misty fog in your head. I look at the people who you can really call the experts, they all don’t paint Meslier with the same brush as the people who are pseudo experts like you.
That being all his previous coaches and the pro’s who have played with him, not some bloke in his armchair repeating the same vitriolic bile of some content creator.

29 Dec 2024 09:02:09
No OP Big Sam wisely DROPPED liabiility Meslier IMMEDIATELY ( 196 Leeds games 281 goals conceded. 60% plus concession of first goal conceded

Shocking stats of nearly 1.5 goala conceded every game! ?.

29 Dec 2024 09:09:04
. and OP as for so called " pseudo' experts.

Ie around 90% of football fans who defnitely recognise a pony player when they see them such as Meslier

The good news is that upon promotion to EPL . the SF49ers at Leeds United will most DEFINITELY be replacing Meslier with a far superior goalkeeper. (thus ending your Mes OTT rating OP)

29 Dec 2024 10:05:06
Quoting the desire of managers and coaches without having been one.
Most managers would willingly accept that defensive unit as a whole, which includes the GK. the communication and understanding between those 5 is critical in every second of the game. For every save that a new keeper could make, there is the potential for a concession due to a lack of understanding or awareness that changing personnel can cause. That takes time to build.
Before answering, I know Mes has made mistakes, and no, I would prefer a new, top class keeper of the Nigel Martyn mould in the PL.

29 Dec 2024 10:22:52
Yep Big Sam, the best coach we’ve ever had for that long period he was with us, say no more if that’s your back up plus your 90% made up fans who want Mez out, did you do the expert research on that as well Baz ?
I’ll put my house on it that Meslier will not be sold if we are promoted and I don’t have to use words in capital letters to know that.

29 Dec 2024 11:43:02
We shall soon see OP

Put your estate agents on speed dial from June lmao?.

29 Dec 2024 12:15:41
Berm when did Illan make the Championship team of the year?

Mads Hermansen (Leicester) won it last season
Ben Wilson Coventry won it season before that.

29 Dec 2024 13:46:48
Class you are 100 % correct indeed re the EFL official Champo team of season. Meslier was nowhere near getting in it

Nuff said.

29 Dec 2024 14:58:10
Think that was Null said.

29 Dec 2024 15:35:19
Nah OP get yer spectacles dear

By the way OP your estate agents? would like to arrange some viewings.
