New Era - New thread.

have at it guys.

I have taken the older thread off sticky status and its now locked but still available to look at if the Bielsa feels ever get you.

ESR

Haha well done mate much appreciated.

Graham Smyth saying this morning in YEP Gnonto is not showing any willing or pushing to leave the club which is great news. He says Leeds want to sell Summerville and Messlier as great profits to be made but as yet no offers for either on a permanent basis. Firpo also want to sell. Want to keep everyone else if possible. No offer for Messlier could hinder their keeper search as they don't want to spend if he won't be going but i'm sure that one will play out ok.

Also interesting line about the 49ers investment group that some in there have mega mega deep pockets financially and expect to really flex their muscle in the prem league, they are a bit tied up with FFP in the Championship however.

1st week shirt sales for this seasons kit have put Leeds in top 6 in the entire country. The deal with BOXT is a new record for anyone outside the Prem. All very good news indeed.

I'm not a 49ers guy, but in America they really do know their onions in a very, very competitive environment.
Hopefully they can bring some of that experience to the UK.

Looks promising so far...

looking forward to going tomorrow. hopefully a decent showing.

Thinking of taking my little ones to first trip to watch Leeds

Anyone know if the Shrewsbury game will sell out? Tickets are out Monday and not sure if any will be available ?

Also best place to sit with little kids?

family stand is a great view if you're at least halfway back. or north east corner.
it will probably come close to selling out but I think season ticket holders can buy upto 10 tickets. if you know one ask them to get yours

correction. it's my leeds members who can buy extra tickets. you should be fine though

ht 0-0. look very organised. everyone knows his job. promising

Sounds like Wöber is off, and Adams and Harrison out until September.

yep. not sure about cresswell on today's performance

Be a shame if Wober goes as probably the only decent defender we have.
Agree Cresswell looked poor and has played so much better for Millwall.
I said the same thing that we looked organised but lack any real quality.
Gray again looked the business.
James and Bamford 2 of our most experienced players again didn`t do it for me.
I reckon we need a LB, 2 midfielders, a winger and a centre forward and if Wober goes we need another defender.
I would play Ampadu in defence when Adams is fit.

Wober must have a clause in his contract. Bloody orta and radrizanni incompetence strikes again. Be interesting to see if it’s a loan or a full transfer if he goes. They’ll prob try go for Nat Phillips now.

We need a good goal scoring centre forward big time. A number 10, midfielder, a centre back, left back, goal keeper as a minimum. Ampadu and Adams will be the holding midfield. Farke likes to play with two holding.

Really nervous about our season start… we could struggle to score goals. Can’t shift firpo on because he’s injured yet again. Good news in a way regarding Harrison and Adams being injured as that means they won’t be sold but they’re not due back until September!!

Hell of a lot of work to do. No transfer money incoming because of the incompetence of the previous ownership which makes the rebuild even harder because of FFP.

I'm not too bothered about Wöber going. He'd be good in the championship, but he's not exactly irreplaceable.

he is a million times better than strjuik or cooper

Our best CB by a mile (Ampadu could well be better but he’s earmarked for mid)

The bar is very low though

I bought a £50 membership and then bought tickets today rather than waiting for general public sale ....went for East stand lower tier (L34 or something??)....the main thing is to give the kids the experience without too much swearing in the crowd(my kids are quite shy)....they are used to the North stand at Headingly....would you say about similar ?

not really. you'll still get the language but it's not as bad. enjoy it

Indeed but I still think he was a decent centre back who’s premier league level. He told the club he wanted to leave apparently so tbh good riddance he clearly wasn’t up for it. I’m a little surprised though given the new owners financial clout going forward. I think that’s all Marschs signing gone now apart from Sinesterra Adams Gnonto.

The worry for me is the lack of experienced players.
And the ones with experience I would be quite happy to see leave such as Ayling, Cooper and Bamford.
As you guys have already mentioned Orta/Radz have completely ballsed up giving out ridiculous contracts to players where we cannot recoup any funds.
It also means we will struggle to bring in players due to the Fairplay situation.
I feel sorry for Farke taking on a very difficult job.

It’s looking like a very tough job for Farke to get us back up first time of asking. Piroe looks too expensive because of FFP.. Struggling to see where we will get the goals from. There’s a lack of quality in midfield, Gyabi was woeful when he came on at the weekend. He’s a long way to go.

Yeah its gonna be a tough ask.

This time last week the resident Leeds Utd supporter was cock-a-hoop with Wober and Adams pledging their future to the club, one week on and wobers off and theres bids flying in regarding some others too. Stupid flipping contracts mean we have to release them if they want to go. Madness, like trying to build a castle on shifting sands. I really dont Envy Farke this year at all.

I said a few weeks back we would do well to get in the top ten this year and that was with Wober and Forshaw staying plus 2 or 3 decent signings.

you look at the squad with wober gone and who has a better squad? Leicester? possibly.
we need incomings. I don't buy ffp excuse.
