The Leeds board don't like to do things fast. No resolution to the long running alioski saga, let him just go already, we need better LB option than him.
They even taking forever signing 2 big assets that have been at the club for 3 years in Harrison/ beilsa, get it done.
Hoping lots of behind scenes work going on and then the 3-4 players we need signed up fast.

The window isn’t even open yet mate and Gianni is only just back from euros, patience!
2.) 28 Jun 2021 09:49:14
They quoted all transfers would like to be done before end of June so they get a full pre season.
3.) 28 Jun 2021 11:23:11
Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
4.) 28 Jun 2021 11:33:55
Harrison done for 1st of July, also, a YEP reporter has stated that no signings will be made by the start of pre season.
07 Nov 2020 22:54:39
Conceding a few recently and think break is needed, hope can get a few back into squad.
Was Pablo dropped from squad because of his attitude last game when taken off?
Not many positives today, big one is we are in the premiership and that is amazing, 2nd is bamford finishing improving and the offside tough to take, pointing where he wanted pass.
Negatives, keeper getting beat at near post, costa and Dallas poor.
Also feel struik not a DMF, he was pedestrian today, sorry berm but you are wrong, we much better with Phillips and I think u know it. Is he the best defensive MF, no, but better with than without or until we find a better one, should have kept veira, big mistake. Let's hope Phillips back after break and be good to see Lorente play alongside of Koch.
1.) 09 Nov 2020 22:30:23
Meltdown How can the sale of RV be a mistake when we 1. Achieved promotion without him. 2. His absence helped see the rise of KP. 3. He's reportedly available for transfer again at only a 30% increase in price than the amount we sold him for. I like RV as a player but remarking his sale was a mistake just factually incorrect.
2.) 14 Nov 2020 06:51:24
we needed the money at the time and had we not sold we would have had to sell other players and who knows what impact that would have had on the team that went up. Same with Kemar by all accounts.
15 Feb 2020 07:41:04
Every game now going to feel tense, can't afford slip ups now.
Tough one for brom against Forrest, do we want brom to win and keep teams below at bay or can we still catch them for first.
My feeling is Forrest to beat them but we have to win next 2 at home.
Bristol invested well in window, unlike us!
They have some decent players, eliason, diedhiou, wells and have won 5 out of last 6
Going to plump for 2-0, bamford and klich.
30 Dec 2019 09:11:45
Rumors that Leeds not getting Brewster as he has got move to Swansea, does that mean we can get Ayew to rejoin bielsa?
1.) 30 Dec 2019 20:56:33
Let's hope for Harry Kane.
2.) 03 Jan 2020 06:49:34
Now that Clarke is back with Spurs Kane should be surplus to requirements so I can see that happening Bazooka.
27 Apr 2019 23:58:48
Time to tinker slightly with team, I would have Pablo on bench and try to rest him, play some part to keep sharp but maybe 20 mins. Don't think MB will but would like to see Izzy or bouguz in his place.
Would also drop Harrison and play either Clarke or Shackleton.
Be happy with draw against villa and then beat Ipswich, still need a point or 2 for 3rd.
Scary because other playoff teams in form but if we play at our top level can beat any of these, but can we do that over 3 games?
1.) 28 Apr 2019 07:23:23
Roofe, Alioski, Douglas all out - Leif Davis confirmed he's had surgery and is done for the year on Instagram too, while Halme, Termunzhukov + Nicell are seemingly injured too (didn't feature in last 23s game, in Halme's case a while) .
With that in mind, I think Bielsa will pick:
Casilla; Ayling, Jansson, Cooper, Dallas; Forshaw, Klich; Hernandez, Roberts, Harruison; Bamford.
Res: BPF, Phillips, Berardi, Shackleton, Clarke, Gotts, Stevens.
Others who could feature Brown, Edmondson, Diaz, Bogusz, Struijk, Odour, Hosannah.
I would personally go full strength for this game and if we're going to rest anybody do it against Ipswich, however if we do need to rest somebody then Pablo, Ayling and Pontus the obvious ones.
Love to see Shack get a start on the right wing. MOT ALAW.
2.) 30 Apr 2019 14:20:42
I dread the "same team again" statement but I think he is not a man for change. Personally I would like to see Odour for Harrison and, if necessary, Edmundson up front.
3.) 30 Apr 2019 20:21:49
We need to secure 3rd. No time for tinkering right now.
4.) 01 May 2019 11:12:40
Apparently efl brought a new rule in that teams have to play there first strong team. Was due to the dog botherers making 10 changes on the last game and affecting the relegation places. Not that it affects owt this year as the relegation places are already confirmed.
5.) 03 May 2019 20:49:00
Give the under 23’s a run out again Ipswich.

I liked team selection from off, was hoping Piroe would step up but didn't, disagree with Farke and time for Joseph to lead line.
Thought Gruev and Roberts good but a few players very off, Rutter was terrible.
Strange subs, still using Barn door bamford is a mystery, had a huge chance and hits his shoulder, he is poor and costs us time after time.
Think Jan window biting us, needed a creative MF and goal scorer, if we had got Keefer Moore, big chance.
Poor slump since international break, 5 games and only 5 points and we were lucky to beat Hull.
Have a good break now and need to improve, luckily Ipswich and Leicester stumbling but saints back in form and back in mix.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 01:20:42
Farke gave a 30 minute speech to a reporter back in 2023 that Piroe was not a striker number 9.
Yet he then hypocritically played Piroe at 9 instead of an actual nunber 9 in MJ.
He then bizarrely takes off the best players today in WG, IG and CR. and loses us the match.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 07:00:34
Best player today and top 90 min points scorer for Leeds was firpo. Why he took him off I don’t know. I like byram and he is a better defender but not attacker. We needed a goal. No idea why he took off gnonto either. He seems to be clutching at straws with no game plan. Rutter and gray and amps were way off form today.
19 shots. 6 on target 0 goals.
V
3 shots. 2 on target. 1 goal.
Not sure if I mentioned before but do absolutely not ever let Bambi put on a Leeds shirt ever again.
Joseph and Anthony tbh must be well peed off.
From tearing it up pre international to complete crud after.
The wheels have well fallen off.
Gonna be a roller coaster last 3 games of which there is a good chance we won’t win any.
Luckily ips and Leicester have similar wheels.
Anyone for Southampton as champions?
We need to get back to form and now.
Criticism of Farke is deserved. He is the man in charge and although he has done better than most predicted it still dosent excuse him from being slated for obvious errors.
You are correct too baz. Spent months telling us Pirie was not a striker then plays him instead of Joseph.
3.) 14 Apr 2024 09:10:30
We couldn’t spend in January, so that puts that to bed.
4.) 14 Apr 2024 14:08:13
Really Bright .
Leeds were very close to signing a CAM in Amari . no plsn B alternative looks foolhardy now in hindsight .
Keiffer Moore on loan in Jan would have helped Leeds be way ahead of Ipswich
Funds were there to buy. a CAM in summer and bring in a loan in Jan.
5.) 14 Apr 2024 15:04:06
By spend, I meant “buy”.
13 Apr 2024 13:29:45
HT, lots of possession but they had best effort and good save by mess.
This is a massive chance to put automatic promotion in our hands but have to beat this relegation side, not great and need better 2nd half.
Joseph in for piroe for me early 2nd half, not 74 mins farke.
09 Apr 2024 22:27:56
Twice now we haven't taken advantage, didn't when ipswich beaten too, not firing when it counts and should be beating sunderland at home. Bamford brings nothing and how many years he's haunted me, unsure why Bielsa and Farke rate him, he doesn't even hold ball well, slow and on $50k pw. Now need watford to do us a favor. Thought ref poor, couple pens and only 3 mins.
They had better efforts and hit target more than us.
1.) 09 Apr 2024 22:48:54
READ MY LIPS! DF WILL COST US PROMOTION!
2.) 09 Apr 2024 23:01:21
Not just MJ issue
The lack of any threat from our free kicks and corners is abysmal.
3.) 09 Apr 2024 23:06:25
Df will cost us promotion?
That’s a joke right he has been class we shouldn’t even be there.
Also the only thing costing us promotion is var
Two stone wall pens one the worst I’ve ever seen not given and the ref bottling it for a second yellow when he kicked out on bamford
We have been great! It’s a hard leauge, the quality at top of championship is better than bottom of prem
Farke is amazing
Just hard playing 12 men most weeks.
4.) 10 Apr 2024 02:12:50
' Farke is amazing '? .
Tell yer what genuinely is amazing if McKenna guides L1 Ipswich to Champo title over 3 premier league budget teams Leicester, Leeds and Southampton
# perspective # realism.
5.) 10 Apr 2024 06:54:23
The biggest questions for me re Ipswich, are quite simple.
Does every team in the league set out to play them in the same was as they do us and Leicester? Time wasting, fouling repetitively, 11 men behind the ball; No.
Does that then give them an advantage? Yes.
I would go as far as to say that Ipswich are not seen as being as much of a threat, and a better chance at 3 points, so teams play more openly against them, even now, while they are up top of the division.
Has McKenna been amazing; probably yes. Do I rate him in the same bracket as Farke? Most certainly not, and not by a country mile.
6.) 10 Apr 2024 10:25:10
Good teams and good players with the right attitude, desire, nous find a way to score.
07 Apr 2024 00:56:53
was it the away kit or just one of those games, after ipswich got beat, this was a massive chance, now need results to help us.
We have been off since the break, not great against Watford and flattered with Hull win.
A good day for leicester and still going to be twists and upsets, just hope this not our next slump?
Onto the next and least we in the top 2 race which we'd all have taken in december, we can still do it ( but please rest bamford)
1.) 07 Apr 2024 06:54:10
Well said Melb!
2.) 07 Apr 2024 17:21:22
Not sure about twists and turns
Would not surprise me now if the top 5 finish as they currently are.
01 Apr 2024 22:23:13
got away with that, not on top of our game and think 3-1 totally flatters us.
But i guess, win ugly and move on.
Really feel we missing Gruev and hope he can get back for next game, Mf overrun tonight.
Thought that barn door bamford miss was going to hurt us, how is he still first choice. Farke needs to start with Joseph, has pace and strong.
GD also better with that outstanding goal from James and may be crucial.
I'm stating that Ipswich will get beat by Norwich, maybe just hopeful.
1.) 01 Apr 2024 22:58:47
Well after the terrible Norwich performance today, I don’t think Ipswich will be worried. I hope you’re right though.
Despite the result today, Southampton looked the most accomplished team in my opinion of the top 4. I think it’s the playoffs for them now though; they probably will be favourites.

Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
Melbourne white's banter replies
13 Apr 2024 06:18:22
Totally agree and need to take advantage of leicester slip up, they still have 2 tricky games.
Would like roberts and Joseph to start and maybe rest kamara and use gray.
Will we ever score from a corner?, going to be crazy and state it will happen today.
12 Feb 2024 09:45:54
Agree boys, some of them are young and have been very impressed with summerville’s goal scoring.
Rutter too playing very good stuff but does need to work on hitting target.
I really thought last summer when we bought a player ( i’d not really seen) . who has scored 20+ in last two seasons, he’d be the missing piece.
02 Feb 2024 03:34:13
Not my job to sign players but if it was i’d sure be scouting for improvements.
Possibly Danny ings, origi, Kiether moore or that young liverpool forward from prem.
I would have tried to push sale of Gnoki to west ham and tried to get cornet and johnson.
22 Jan 2024 06:06:42
yes Baz, their goal derailed us, so i guess a great win.
G- is this benson any good, i’d prefer a CMF over another winger and i hope a RB arrives too.
18 Jan 2024 22:07:43
kock, maybe it’s because we’re so far away that we haven’t heard of any players coming in?
Can you confirm who has arrived in the nearly 3 weeks of window.
