The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wesnesday 28th April)

Because he is not good enough.

 

Yet the real stats show he is the best in the Premier League?

 

To be honest from a selfish point of view I'm glad he isnt.

I'd be more than happy for all our players to be good enough to play international football and yet not be selected.

For further evidence as to why I don't want any of our players playing international football, I give you this quote from a well known poster on our forum posted less than a month ago

 

Roberts nil gets a selected.

 

Totally agree but we also know Phillips wants to go, Bamford has dreams about it, even the kids all fk offand Klich to Poland, Alioski to some new shythole called North Macedonia. In those circumstances when I look at Southgates defenders compared to Ayling Southgate has questions to answer

 

I don't disagree with the above Doc, however as long as our players don't think that playing for us is the reason they are not being selected for international duty, then I am more than happy for them not to be selected.

 

Training with England must be so easy for Leeds players after murderball.

Must be like a holiday and why they desperately want to be called up

 

Of course it might be because he has to do more of all of that than the other England right backs picked?

 

My wife & I have spent 4 or 5 weeks a year in Macedonia (pre C19). Love the place, especially the people.

What exactly have I missed that's driven you to such a wildly inaccurate slight on my favourite foreign country?

 

I am disparaging about everything not English and that includes Sturgeonville. It was more a take on gangsters, drug dealers, car theft and people trafficking operated from Albania. Sorry mate but tourists dont see the underbelly of the beast

 

Sounds just like Scotland no wonder he likes it

 

Ayling is a cracking right back. However England have an embarrassment of riches at RB.

Kyle Walker
Trent Alexander Arnold
Kyle Walker-Peters
Reece James
Kieran Trippier
Aaran Wan-Bissaka
Tariq Lamptey

All of those will be above this group which includes Ayling imo..

Luke Ayling
Matt Cash
James Justin
Max Aarons
Steve Sessegnon
Callum Chambers
Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Granted some of them are a work in progress bit Ayling is 30 and there are some up and comers straining at the leash. He won't find his way in. It would be nice if he got a cap or two to finish off his rise back up the tables after Arsenal released him.

 

When Leeds bought Koch, I thought it was a sensible like-for-like replacement for Ben White
Then when we bought Llorente, I thought Bielsa was setting up to play three at the back in his famous 3-3-1-3 formation
But now we have all our defenders fit, it seems Koch is being squeezed out and a German international is too good to stay as a back up

It seems like we bought Koch and then found someone better and I feel we did this a couple of times like the purchase of Helda Costa and then the altogether superior Raphinha
I don't think we'd have bought Costa* or Koch if Raphinha and Llortente had been signed earlier in the transfer window.

*I know we were contractually obliged to sign Costa but I think we'd have tried to wriggle out of it.

 

The amount of Turks?

 

I saw an article today from Paul Robinson saying that Raphinha should replace Costa on Saturday and Koch in for Struijk, as if he knew something.

 

Never read a word from that traitor, who seems to think he's Leeds, we know he's not, ****ing turncoat.

 

Robinson wrong on Raphinha but Costa got hurt but should start. Robinson is in the same league as Darren Bent, Kevin Phillips, Noel Whelan, Karen Carney Jermain Pennant, Tim Sherwood, Paddy Kenney and a whole host of twots

 

Yet Bielsa said in his press conference today that Raphinha was still out.

I'd be surprised at Koch and Llorente but it's possible - just that Bielsa seems to prefer a right-footed-left footed centre back combo.

 

Not many. There's a lot more over here.

Perhaps it's Albanians you're confusing the Turks with.

 

Add Kevin Campbell to the shyt list of in the know pundits. He reckons Leeds are 100% in for Draxler. Thanks Kev
