VillaChris Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 He's listed as an RB Leipzig player again so I assume Leeds paid some hush money to end the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has single handedly changed the club from the owner to the youth team the whole culture has changed. People seem to forget/ignore that we got promoted signing essentially nobody. This is the same team considered barely good enough for the championship 2 years prior Kalvin Phillips has gone from bang average championship player to an England call up in 2 years, nobody could have seen that kind of growth and so much of it is owed to Bielsa. He's got nothing on Deano though obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes our recruitment over the last few years even more annoying. No vision at all. So have you seen De Paul play much? I have. He's absolutely fantastic. Would be a great signing for Man Utd, forget Leeds. Be remarkable if he goes there. Koch is brilliant for £13m. Everyone will be after him in two years. Young Croatian lad they're now after meant to be immense for his age as well, not seen him myself. Rodrigo for £30m is steep but they've gone big in a position you need someone who won't shit themselves when the pressure is on. Perhaps they don't want to be stuck with no strikers like we were until January. No surprise at all with their statsbomb link up their signings are on point. Hopefully we produce as well in the next two weeks. Be very surprised if they're lower than 12th. I think we'll have had a great season to finish above them. Not much, but who has. I've seen him play and he's a good player, but I think he will have a pretty rude awakening coming into the PL. My personal opinion is that Ben White is a bigger loss than Rodrigo and De Paul is a gain, if that makes any sense. And while I completely agree that the championship is a good league and the winners there should be able to avoid relegation from the PL, I don't think there's much chance of them finishing 12th. At least not based on their current squad changes. But that's me. I'd expect them to marginally beat relegation, but who knows. We'll find out soon enough.

It's hilarious. Especially as we predicted it. Couldn't get rid of them when we were both in the Champ. Wanking themselves off over Bielsa and telling us how to run a club. Then they absolutely bottled it like we said they would and we all said they'd disappear until they got promoted and looky looky, they're all back. It's really weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) When were Leeds last in the PL? *Edit, just checked it was 2004, looking at their league history always been a bit of a yo-yo club.

They’ve spent more of their history outside the top flight than in it, the myth of Leeds is strong and not backed up at all by history. But yeah they’ve a decent fan base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of Leeds and Forest, someone was flying a place around over the City Ground today with a banner about Leeds being champions, bit weird really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 On 30/08/2020 at 17:05, OutByEaster? said: Your answer here actually strengthens the point we're making - we didn't tear up a team, we came up without a squad - we had about nine professionals. We built from nothing and it was really the only thing we could do. It was reported as some sort of spending splurge for glory. Yours sounds like sensible spending to me - the difference is whether it will be reported as that or as some sort of mad transfer binge. In all honesty, any team that comes up and isn't spending a lot of money is likely planning not to stick around. If we spent 27 million on a 29 year old we'd be ridiculed. Leeds ? Cultured, creative.

TrentVilla Posted September 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2020 My prediction is predictions are pointless. Sheff United showed that last season. Leeds could ride a crest of a wave, they could do a Norwich or they could do what we did anything is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think they're a welcome addition to the Premier League. Wouldn't be surprised if they have a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
