or will the Real Leeds United please stand up? Ironic isn't it that Don famously based our all white strip on Real Madrid and he we are becoming a virtual Spanish club. More Spanish youngsters into the U23 announced this morning - Temenuzco & Machuca arriving today.

Better than the English players..more the merrier if they improve our club's chances of success.

It's a tough one this. We have had great success bringing players through but like Joel says we were terrible last season. Let's hope we can get back to producing some home grown 1st teamers while trying some of these young imports, it isn't a bad idea. It's not like other big clubs don't do it.
I'm quite open to this really and hope it pays off.

We can't anymore, as any PL club can just come in and steal any half decent kid before they're 16 and give us peanuts as compensation. Blame the FA, more interested in plugging Man City youth squad with 200 english youngsters who will never kick a ball for the first team than let the lower league clubs develop them and give them an actual career.

Totally agree with you Joel with regards to the state of young players today. 90% of the time you hear of them as the next so and so coming through big clubs ranks, then you google them 5 years later to find they are playing Conference Football.

So just what is Leeds United, just a name and some grass on the outskirts of a big city in Yorkshire?

Might as well be the Galacticos?

Maybe one of you could explain what Leeds is, before you get to the name calling bit?

WTF I think it's the changing (or changed) way of football now mate. Sky and the premier league have developed the finances so that those with the money can buy up anyone. The price of home grown players is sky high and all or most of the domestic talent is gobbled up.
LUFC gave a good record of producing talent and undoubtedly we should try to continue doing this with youth recruitment. It was terrible last season and I hope we can get back on track but if some of these foreign kids work that is OK with me so long as the desire to develop our own continues.
I'm not so keen on every player we get for the 1st team being foreign with questionable quality to say the least and I've stated my opinion on that several times.
Galacticos we aren't although I suspect that was tongue in cheek. Let's hope the new owners know better than I do.
