Can see Piroe at 10 on Sunday, Rutter is well off the pace and needs a rest. I'd go Roberts at RB for his experience and leadership if he's fit enough. Bamford absolutely starts if fit as does James. We need experience in this team.

We've also missed Strujik if truth be told too.. he'd have given us options at left centre back and been able to put Ampadu into midfield to bolster it. I think Gruev hasn't been 100% fit either, he's not covering the same amount of ground.

No Bam Bam for both the Norwich games.
I do think we look better when he plays even though he misses more than he scores.
Be tempted to offload him next year due in the main to the money he earns and his injury record.

I'd get rid too. misses too many games.
just back from city. another cup bought for. very impressive team but they probably spend more on the under 18s than many championship sides spend on the first team. bought one of our under 15s not long back for a few million quid. cherry pick all the best talent

How did Cresswell and Crew perform last night?
It`s a shame teams like City are allowed to spend that amount of money.
Maybe at that level it should be salary capped to make it an even playing field for all teams concerned.

Yea, Finlay Gorman. He's a generational talent. They definitely need to look at amending the rules. City's academy is ridiculous.

If Leeds don’t go up this season it’s very difficult to see them going up again in the foreseeable future.

There are alot of players on the books who we will lose money on, if we can get any money at all. Wober, Koch, Llorente, Aaronson.

The sale of a few of our crown jewels should we fail in the playoffs will significantly weaken the squad without the requisite reinvestment due to above said nooses.

Leeds will then be competing against teams fresh from the PL with full parachute payments. After season 1, every season you don’t go up makes it progressively harder. It took a miracle from Bielsa before.

It’s now, or they are stuck.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat May 11, 2024 4:39 pm  

sorry but rubbish.

koch is o.o.c. lose nothing. only aaronson could be a big loss. summerville and rutter will bring in big bucks.gray at £40-£50m pure profit too. Still get parachute payments next season albeit reduced. if we don't go up next year THEN it's looking like a longer stay.
don't forget owners can put in 'loans' which doesn't count on ffp. the 49rs are mega rich but the plan is get leeds up, stabilise, then sell to someone as rich as city's owners for big profit. that's how they work

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sun May 12, 2024 10:11 am  

looks like a 4-3-3.

I suggested gray as an extra midfielder. glad farke listened to me.
