Good Morning. Its Tuesday 14th January, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Clarke to sign with QPR, just in time for Saturday Will Jack Clarke come back to haunt us? We won't have to wait long to find out! The 19yo is joining QPR just in time to face the Whites on Saturday at Loftus Road. To say the York born winger has a point to prove is an understatement. Was he given an opportunity to prove his worth under Bielsa - absolutely not! Whilst its fair to question Clarke's attitude since his 10m transfer to Spurs, I look at Bielsa and see an incredible Manager, with tunnelled vision. Exactly the same goes with Nketiah. Whilst he was banging in multiple goals for England, he was unable to displace Bamford on a 10 game drought. Is anybody surprised when he was given his debut on the 29th December, he looked disinterested? Will Bielsa's blinkered approach cost Leeds dearly in the second half of the season? please log in to view this image Leeds beat off competition for Citeh ace Manchester City winger Ian Poveda is set to undergo a Leeds United medical this week. The 19yo was in Italy last weekend with his father considering his options. Serie A outfits Torino and Parma have both expressed their desire to sign the England U20 winger, but it seems Bielsa's relationship with Pep Guardiola has given the Whites the edge. Poveda is a left sided winger. Although born in London, both his parents are Columbian. He close to represent England at U16 level, and has been consistently picked for the three Lions ever since. please log in to view this image Saints hierarchy meet to discuss Adams future According to Leeds journalist Beren Cross, Saints Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and his Southampton bosses met today for a transfer summit to discuss Che Adams. An outcome is expected today, but with two weeks until the transfer window slams shuts, viable targets are disappearing daily. Brewster has signed for Swansea and the Blades have denied us access to speak to Billy Sharp! Is anybody else of the opinion that signing Billy Sharp would be scraping the barrel? Well, if we don't manage to capture Adams, it is likely that Leeds will turn their attention to veteran striker David McGoldrick. The 32yo has yet to score for the Blades in 19 appearances, though he has contributed two assists! please log in to view this image
Morning all Need to stay away from the blunts as we dont need any of their 30+ year old strikers and would only look at bringing Freeman in from there. We are bound to have other irons in the fire so if today Saints say no then we go and get one of the others. Andre Gray would be better than Adams in my opinion but will it happen or will we be looking overseas.
The thing is I have been waiting over six months for a striker and creative mid. The squad was too small at the start of the season and due to the amount of duds we carry is even smaller today. The big rads gamble is due to end in tears all the huff and puff count for nothing. Who the hell is this winger just another cheapo kid?. Never heard of him and can't wait to see the quality of striker we bring in when it's too late. Should have a player in on the first day of this window.
I can't believe we didn't pick up one of these top strikers on the first day of the window. There must be hundreds of them about, not contracted to other clubs, I keep on reading it on here.
Morning all... Sharp would be a desperate measure but I’d rather have him over nobody. Most of the rumours are garbage press. It does feel like Daniel James all over again, I think that’s where most fans are equal; in the shared frustration that lessons don’t seem to be being learned. Watford have turned down our approach for Andre Gray, no idea what the approach was, I’m guessing a loan
Good Morning to Matt and co form a dull Bardsey Tis time to put Adams to bed his must be shot so it will take time which h we don.t hav e to sort him out Iwould forget Gayle too Andre Gray maybe worth a punt LukeFreeman would be a good addition Lets hope the 2 youngsters sign today
If Leeds United did westerns what a title that would make. The cheapo kid.... Just think of the sequals released every january.
