  1. I dont think he'll go at all till the following summer. We've already brought in a big fee to be used in summer, will be getting a few smaller ones too. His feet are firmly on the ground and knows that playing every game here is more valuable than going to sit on a top sides bench won't be pushing to go.
  2. You've WAY undervalued him there.
  3. He had a hamstring injury that put him out for a couple of months, but has still started 29 games this season. Missed 13 games. Not amazing but stones missed about as many and has far more of a history of recurring issues.
  4. Their best one plays in Italy but isn't fancied for some reason 🤷‍♂️
  5. Greenwood disappears a lot from an attacking and possession point of view but I've said time and again that his work ethic and pressing is amongst the best in the team. Obviously you don't get by on that alone at this level, but it's a very valuable skill to have in the modern game.
  6. As good as It gets mate. Simply put they need to win this tournament or Southgate has under achieved.
  7. Imagine having 700 right backs and having to fall back on konsa! You'd have to hope that walker isn't anything serious because if he missed the euros your chances would decrease significantly imo. He bailed yous out over and over in the last few tournaments. Your best player at the world cup and it wasn't close.
  8. Personally, I think his form dropped around the time we were running the 11 that were starting games into the ground when we had the worst of our injuries. And since then he's been in for 20 mins here and there. But I guess you could accuse me of being glass half full with that assessment, but I think it's fair.
  9. I dont get this whole apart from his freekick narrative. Greenwood has 5 goals and 3 assists to his name - a goal contribution every 230 mins and 8 times as many contributions as anyone seems to want to give him credit for. Jones is on 5 goals and 2 assists, a goal contribution every 276 mins. Obviously anyone with eyes can see greenwood's all round play doesn't approach Jones, but he's also 2 and a half years younger and no one is criticising Jones's output yet people are beating Greenwood with a stick for his - it doesn't make sense. I think he's had an inconsistent season, but I rate h
  10. Most other countries wouldn't care I would wager. You'd get a few far right nuts who might but most people have bigger concerns than a flag.
  11. 1.5mil is a good deal for him I think given potential upside. We spent that on silvera I think and he's shown more than him at times and is younger and English. Wages I agree with. But I also trust that we won't be spending stupid wages on him if we do sign him, the club seem to be past the days of giving out big wages for players. If he does come I'll be assuming Leeds are subsidising some of the wages and it'll be at a good level for us. Don't get me wrong, not clamoring for his signing, but I still think it could be a clever one.
  12. I hope so but I personally haven't seen any improvement in his all round game at all.
  13. If he's out for a while I guess we'll be seeing Greenwood or Silvera. Both will be playing for their future imo so hopefully at least one can step up.
  14. Losing vdb, forss and mcgree in 4 days, honestly I wish this season would just end. Its obscene
  15. He's a sub because he's a young prospect. He's only 21 and yet has made 40 appearances across club and country at senior level this season. The club at the top of the bundesliga. Regardless of the fact they're mostly sub appearances that's very impressive for a 21 year old and he will be in far higher demand than a middling championship team.
  16. Dahoud was a free transfer, so likely on a huge whack.
  17. Silvera is 23 and has played at a very low level his whole career and has played in 35 matches this season. Not the same thing.
  18. I'm not saying we should sign him, just that people need to stop judging 18-21 year olds as being good enough or not for the rest of their career when they have a tonne more development to do. That includes our own players because they get wrote off way too soon Too often here.
  19. He's scored 9 in a *** team this season and is now an England u21 regular. And most importantly he's only 21! You always seem to get a glimpse of a player and make your mind up instantly and then don't change it, particularly young players who have loads of room for growth.
  20. We got over 3 mil for crooks who has significantly less quality and is older. Even if the only serious interest in mcgree is from the US (it won't be imo), 4 mil is way too low. 7-8 for me.
  21. But you can't discount those 4 teams when analysing how strong a league is. last season 5 of the top 6 positions were up for grabs realistically. This season its 2. That makes it inheritantly harder to get promoted.
  22. I think you're being unrealistic about how promotion sides are created in this division without parachute payments. You can't go out and buy "top end championship " players without spending an absolute fortune. You have to sign players with potential that have been discarded elsewhere for whatever reason and develop them in house and then develop them. It takes time. Honestly I don't know what you want us to do here. Do you want to spend beyond our means and try to desperately get up?
  23. The three teams that came down are stronger than the 3 that went up and the 3 teams that came up from league 1 are stronger than those that got relegated. Not sure where you're getting that the rest are weaker from. Some teams are worse, some teams are better than their own versions from last year but it's a fact that the 6 teams that came into the league are better than the 6 that left.
  24. We need a few but it's nowhere near as bad as it was last season imo. Going by 2 players for every position and assuming carrick wants to go back to 4231 with the right players, bold where we need a player - Gk - Dieng, glover LB- engel, bangura Cb - vdb, Clarke, fry, lenihan Rb - RB, ayling or Smith. Cm - Hackney, new cm, new cm, barlaser Lm - mcgree, silvera 10 - new cam, azaz Rm - Jones, forss St - ELL, new striker, coburn That's 3 starters and 2 to challenge to make what I think would be a competitive squad who can make play offs if thi
