[Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

[GT49er]

I bet the rest of the division are shaking at that line up, White and Dunk excluded. Maupay is hardly prolific, 10 goals was it? Leeds's priority is to get a centre back, a playmaker and a striker so Bamford wont be our number 9

Oh right, just that then. Easy peasy. I think they're on offer at Lidl's this week - and if you tell Lidl the price you think they should cost, I'm sure they'll agree to it!

 

[The Fifth Column]

You see, you have absolutely NO IDEA what the clubs / players / fans of the rest of the premier league, think of that line up. You are so out of touch with this level of football, that you really haven't a scooby who these players are.

Just for your education, though:

- Ryan is in the top 5 of almost every stat for PL keepers over the last three seasons.
- Lamptey has played 5 PL matches, and been MOTM in at least 3 of them, embarrassing Vardy for pace, along the way.
- Dunk and White, you' know of. Well done. Webster is as good potentially as either.
- Bissouma has run PL games against good sides, and is currently interesting Arsenal and Man City. He will play top 6 in time.
- Alzate was a full Colombia international at 19 years old. He will go to the very, very top. Incredible talent.
- Adam Lallana is another you might have heard of? He is a current English, European and World club champion?
- Connolly is a full international at 19, and is settling in nicely at the highest level.
- You'll do very, very well to sign a newcomer to the PL that does better than Maupay. Villa, West Ham and Newcastle spent £30-£40m each, on Wesley, Haller and Joelinton, and none of them came close.

I've left out of that line up, Joel Veltman (20-cap Dutch international and CL semi finalist last season), full Argentina international Alexis MacAllister, Colombia international winger Jose Izquierdo, Iran's best player Alireza Jahanbaksh, Dutch international midfielder Davy Propper, Ireland's best player Shane Duffy, former Barcelona right-back Martin Montoya, Austarlia international Aaron Mooy, Belgium international Leandro Trossard, England U21 winger Solly March, Derby player of the season Matt Clarke, and our own record top flight goalscorer Glenn Murray.

And before you think I'm overstating the strength and quality of our squad - I'm really not - a squad with that pedigree is simply ROUTINE in the Premier League. That's what you are about to discover.

Seriously

It might sink in when they get dicked 4-0 at home to Burnley, Sheff Utd etc. Jesus I think even Palace have a stronger squad and tons of PL experience to give them a scare

 

[peterward]

I'm pretty sure Bielsa will sign a contract, but to the outside world it looks as if he's keeping his options open. Maybe he knows the squad at Leeds doesn't give him a chance in the Prem, or maybe he's waiting to see if a bigger club like Huddersfield of maybe Hull come knocking for his services.

I reckon it will be done too, maybe even today/tomorrow now Koeman is confirmed for Barca..

and I honestly don't know any of the Leeds players names apart from Ben White and that bloke in midfield with the topknot type thing!

Top ranting!!

 

[miffy6]

Fantastic signing. Two footed and for a small chap good with his head. He can score all different kind of goals. Mix that in with some good quality goal celebrations and you have a superb signing. Only 23 also. Actually he had his birthday a couple of days ago. Now 24.

He seems to enjoy celebrating against Leeds.

 

[The Wizard]

‘Leeds priority is a CB, AM and a striker’

So pretty much replacing the whole spine of a team then, yeah?

I love this every year, it’s a rinse repeat cycle every season we survive, Villa fans, Norwich fans, Fulham fans most fans of teams who are promoted all get way too big for their boots and usually come down to Earth with a Big Bang, they will soon realise that playing against championship teams and dominating possession is pretty much an entirely different sport to doing it in this league.

I’d say being promoted as a team who have 70+% every week will actually make your first season much, much more difficult as you will be forced to change your style almost completely. Good luck.

You see, I could reel off their team, no problem. (or that of almost any other championship club). Unlike these trolls not everyone is so ignorant and arrogant as to ignore or discount everything outside of their own club.

Meslier /Casilla, Cooper, Berardi, Kilch, Davis, Ayling, Philips, Alioski, Hernandez, Bamford, Shackleton, Gotts, Harrison,

Why are you wasting your time with this? Ban the guy - he's purely here on a wind up. Not a very good one at that.

I was only about a third of the way down reading that when I gave it the thumbs up btw

 

[Northchatty]

Are you having a laugh. Given your current first 11 includes Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford, I think more people would be nervous about playing us than they would facing you. Ignoring the fact we probably still plan to sign three or four more players.

You really haven't been watching Premier League football judging by your comments. Lamptey was constantly praised by commentators for his performances at the end of the season. Bissouma was brilliant in midfield in the last three months of the season and Alzate and Connolly both developed a lot in their first season in the Premier League and will no doubt get even better next season.

This team doesn't even include Veltman and Propper (both Dutch internationals), Mac Allister (an Argentinian international), Trossard (who was called up for Belgium before he got injured last season) and players like Mooy, Gross, Stephens and Murray (who all probably have a lot more Premier League experience than anyone in your squad).

You might think Bielsa will be the difference and keep you up (or make you a top half team) and you may even be right but I would be worrying more about how my team's squad is currently weaker than it was last season instead of coming on our forum and commenting on our team (who stayed up comfortably in the end last season and have brought in/brought back Veltman, White, Clarke, Molumby and Lallana since then)

You have just contradicted yourself. So you will probably sign 3 or 4 players whilst you are also implying that Leeds will only have this team but now without White? You do know we now have around £180m in promotion money now. Leeds are not daft and will have to sign players to compete. Bielsa will attract decent stock without costing the earth. Spending £100m doesn't guarantee you success, any Villa fan will tell you that.

 

[The Fits]

Five minutes in to training White will have no doubt this is an entirely different level of football.

Aapo Halme? They let him go, to Barnsley, I'm afraid

180 million is it?

That's a fair bit further than anyone on Waccoe would get, I guess.
