The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 10th June)

A not a very good 22 year old.

 

Another of Bielsa's gems.

 

He made up for it with Llorente and Raphinha so we'll let the old boy off just this once

 

Certainly was a weird one in hindsight, made out of desperation, perhaps El Loco is human after all !!

 

I wouldn't dare have a go at Bielsa, I'll always be grateful for what he's done. But he is not above critism IMO.

 

I was being a bit mischievous when I commented. I suppose I was trying to say that no one is above critisium.

 

Speaking about it for the first time? He hasn't stopped talking about it for the past 6 months!

 

Yes, do keep up old git.

 

Bielsa loves to play square pegs in round holes. We could do with a bit more depth in midfield, though we can't forget about Adam Forshaw. He was very good until his injury.

 

BBC pushing it on iPlayer, and website today.

Good, I missed it first time around so I'll give it a go later.

 

Do you not think Reid would be bought to play alongside Phillips and not instead of? Ala Dallas for most of the 2nd half of the season.

 

Scottish FA statement says players will 'stand up to racism' ahead of their Group D games. Scotland players will “stand up to racism” at Euro 2020 rather than take the knee before matches. ...

 

We’re getting there

 

Reed would be decent. He would certainly rival Klich for that midfield role. Not much between the two. I would prefer conor Gallagher though. He would instantly improve the first XI. Both of them have fantastic energy levels.

 

Roughly translated, this means that the Scottish players can go kick fcuk out of any english player taking the knee, and watch out if you're one of those air punchers - the bench will join in too!

If only .....

 

Read this interesting exchange with Beren Cross on LeedsLive. It's his last sentence that's the truly interesting bit.

Anyone else aware of this? I wasn't.

"Hi Beren,

IF the JKA case goes to a legal setting, surely the clause that says if Leeds were promoted by 30th June they had an obligation to buy him will be pivotal. In law there is no sentiment, or 'moral' obligation. Leeds weren't promoted by 30th June, so the obligation clause will surely be thrown out. Yes, it was due to unusual circumstances that they weren't, but in law that counts for nothing. FIFA's stance is baffling. They must surely know their decision will be overturned in the courts. Or are they hoping for a compromise payment from Leeds before a legal judgement?

  This is just it. That is exactly the fact Leeds are defending themselves on. If promotion was secured before June 30, he would become their player. As the club technically didn't secure promotion before then, they feel there is no longer any obligation and the deal ends. If FIFA have seen that defence and still weighed in favour of RBL, then it will be for CAS to decide in the future. Given RBL tried asking Leeds to alter the paperwork to suit the new season dates it seems they too knew the contract was worthless on the old dates".

 

I thought the same with Roberts his ship had sailed but they are still giving him a chance so you never know lol.
Time will tell I guess but I do hope myself this one has run its course. but, I doubt Orta and Bielsa will just discard a player they liked unless of course they think they can go bigger and better now especially if he comes available at a price in our range.

 

Good, and forward thinking....

Could be a moments reflection, putting hands together or whatever.

Taking a knee is submissive, its egotistical, its menial and god damn degrading.

The only people who deserve us to take the knee to them is our armed forces.

Just my opinion. Is Ell talking bol*ocks again?
