[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans
- Thread starter vagabond

Yup. Just think; he can either play his football for one of the truly iconic giants of the game, against the pulsating backdrop of one of the most vibrant, exciting and culturally diverse cities in Europe - a destination for those seeking stunning architecture, world-class cuisine and sophisticated night life. Or alternatively he can go to Barcelona.
Just spotted this in the Times. Amazing.

4th in Europe? That cannot be right, LUFC is the biggest club in europe so obviously their spending should also be number 1

I was just perusing the Lawro predictions table at the bottom of this page https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61493783 which shows how the league would have looked if he was always right.
I wonder how many Leeds fans will claim this table is the "real" one?

I wonder if that includes the £18.5m (+1m interest) that the Court of Arbitration for Sport has recently ruled that they have to pay RB Leipzig due to a loan-to-buy clause for a player that they didn't want to sign permanently?
Looking likely that Raphinha will be off very shortly. I can't quite get my head round the quoted price (£65m - £75m). Is he that good? There are some absolutely crazy deals around at the moment!

No he is not worth that much, only the elite will pay stupid money and they are welcome to him.

If they do get that much for him then we should be getting at least the same for either Cucu or Tross if they do leave us as they are both every bit as good if not better than Raphinha

Ex Leeds = at least double the money he’s worth. Always the way if you’re buying from the world champions of Europe.
Why does he want to leave now?
According to "The Plan" Leeds fans were so eager to share when they got promoted... let's see... last season was a top 3 finish and CL slot... so this season is... yes, here it is… "winning the PL without conceding a single goal, and being invited by FIFA to enter the World Cup instead of Argentina because we're so much better than any national squad."
Really don't get why Rapinha would want to walk away from that?

Some of his replies as well. Either a great WUM or genuinely mental.....I suspect the latter given who he supports.

Outside rural Russia or the US bible belt states it's hard to imagine you'll find a set of people as detached from reality as Leeds fans.
I've love us to sign this Camara guy, just really because it would amuse to to see their reactions when we beat someone to their signature.
But really, it's only relegation for them that would satisfy my desire for schadenfreude

The replies to this from Leeds fans is exactly what you’d expect. Textbook.

Apologies if fixtures, but has anyone read the 'Who is your club's best loan signing of the Premier League era' article, on The Athletic? Ours in Aaron Mooy (because he's about the only loan signing we've had in the PL). Leeds' is obviously Ben White. The deluded Phil Hay forgets that White was their best player 2 days after he joined them. He wraps up with this;
"What Leeds got was an exceptional ball-playing centre-back, perfectly suited to Bielsa’s style and ever-present through their run to promotion (even playing on the day when Leeds were in celebration mode and half of the squad appeared to be hungover). Arsenal bought him for £50 million a year after he went back to Brighton. Bielsa should have asked for a cut of the fee."
'LOL'

Bielsa should have given a cut of his salary to Brighton for enabling him to get the club he was managing promoted.
One of a few limited successes for the world's greatest coach.
Ben White never played for Leeds in the Premier League.
If it actually does mean, "in the Premier league era" (i.e. best loan signing since 1992) then we'd have a ton of better candidates than Aaron Mooy. Bobby Zamora, for starters...

How lucky are we that the magic dust of Bielsa didn't rub off over a whole season playing a division above where he played for Leeds for L'il Ole Brighton and enabled us to move him on for 50 million. Maybe they have a point
Wayne Bridge! ...............Glenn Murray too, and wasn't Vicente on loan too?
