Demitri_C Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I think leeds need about 7-8 players. 40m on augstin and costa is a collosal waste of money. Leeds fans wont enjoy premier league much with signings like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt can afford many big players I thought Costa was £16m and Augustin was only on loan and has already gone back? Either way, £16m for Costa shows how comparatively cheap our summer signings were.

Leeds are going to court to try to stop the transfer as the season has gone past June but Leipzig are saying its the clause in the contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 How many games did Augustin actually play? Bielsa will certainly have to overlook his Bamford obsession as he won't be good enough at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Best case scenario they are forced to sign Augustin, Bielsa get's angry and walks and they appoint some Shouty McShoutface plonker with no handle on tactics Edited July 13, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I wouldn’t have minded Leeds going up, but now it’s likely we’re going down, it’s really pissing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds were a midtable team before he took over. Compare that to us who had played in a play off final season before Dean took over. Bielsa has done an excellent job.

Zatman Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 2002 World Cup would be his biggest bottle job of all or the 2004 Copa America. Promotion from the 2nd attempt in the Championship might be one of his greatest managerial achievements ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Wouldn't be surprised if he got them promoted, decided he's done his job and then resigned, he's the kind of manager to do outlandish things like that. Certainly wouldn't be surprised if he left them before the end of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Getting Bilbao to europa league final and copa del rey in same season wasn't too bad, they haven't won a trophy since the 80s. Anyway....Leeds are probably similar to us in a way. Got some talented players like Kalvin Phillips and Klich but they are short on numbers. Their bench had I think 4 teenagers on it so they'll struggle if they get more injuries in the premier league which is always likely with the intensity. Edit: 5 as Ian Poveda is on loan from Man. City. He's another they got in January who's barely figured. Really interested to see who they can attract particularly in final third as they obviously need better than Bamford and their wide options aren't brilliant either. I actually think of them all Brentford would do the best of the promoted teams if they make it. Hopefully Huddersfield can grind out a draw v WBA.

PaulC Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Think they are in a stronger position than we were and Norwich. Will need to invest wisely but could see them doing a wolves Edited July 16, 2020 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that bamford, augstin and helder costa being their strikers. My God that is a awful attacking group. I do rhink if thwre wss no covid they would have bottled it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with no transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
