Bamford was obviously very happy to leave. Getting 10 million for him was good business imho. Link to post Share on other sites

If they'd got so wankered on a Thursday that they had to call off a game on the Saturday I think Gibson would've sacked Robson on the spot. Gibson/Lamb first contacted the FA at 10am on the Friday before the game was due to be played on the Saturday, I don't see why with this amount of notice the club doctors/medical team couldn't have had any hung over players on saline drips to re-hydrate them long before kick off. Fair enough, probably rubbish then. Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty funny that they fed him the line about wanting him to be their main striker. Also laughing at the fact they thought they'd taken away our best player. But, no sour grapes from me. I'm indifferent towards Orta anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Orta who. I liked Bamford and better used would have made a bigger difference but as in football players come and go and the club moves on. Link to post Share on other sites
ABH 468 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 What else is interesting is Leeds decided bamford was there number target so Orta called bamford to see if he would be interested in a move. Isn’t that tapping a player up? Link to post Share on other sites

Skinemrippers 894 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Just thinking about the amount of players we’ve had in last couple of seasons deemed not good enough by either the manager or the fans who are now regulars in teams doing much much better than us. Besic playing for Sheff Utd tonight, Harrison, Foreshaw, Bamford all in the starting 11 for Leeds most weeks. Fredericks a regular for West Ham. How do we keep getting it so wrong? Even Orta who many supporters blamed for our PL failure is an integral part of the Leeds set up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Even Orta who many supporters blamed for our PL failure is an integral part of the Leeds set up. Sometimes players can suit one team, style or manager and not another. Sometimes players gel well with other players better. Saying that though, I can't think of too many players who have come here and made their previous clubs scratch their heads. Maybe Besic the first time, Gaston and Bamford in his last couple of months with us? Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 You know when we signed Harrison on loan I thought we had him on a 18 months loan deal so understood why Pulis never played him as was allowing him to settle but then summer came around and he was off what a waste of a half season wage and probable loan fee Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Apparantly there are only 12 people living in Benin and the former player/coach is now just coach, so they have called upon Big Rudy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 482 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Looking at the expected goals table (if every match was settled by XG) put together by experimental 361, we are looking a bit healthier but still a bit off the pace. https://experimental361.com/2019/08/31/expected-goals-league-tables-30-aug-1-sep-2019/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
