Rumors - Mid month

[spaldy]

Some pretty crazy ones out there.....

Harrison - off to Italy. seems to have some legs.
Bijol - off to Italy - Think it's just click bait but please no. He's a rock
Piroe- countless clubs mentioned. He's on the record that he's wanting to stay and win his PT at ER
Meslier - this one has gotten real quiet which makes you wonder if some truth
Gnonto - A lot of stuff early but quieted down


Incoming- think many of them are agent talk or click bait. The Union Berlin defenders name comes up a lot. He's big and strong and good in the air. Seems a little too good to be true.

Getting Harrison off the books is a must , he offers very little at this level.

[norfolk white]

Don?t want gnonto or piroe to go, both very good players

[spaldy]

Gnonto especially

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Piroe struggles at this level though.

[spaldy]

the clickbait is running rampant but one that comes up over and over again is Parrot. 20 million range seems to be the number.


Can't help but wonder how many goals Piroe would score if he played in the same league as Parrot does.

[whitestomper45]

Overall Parrott is the better player for PL. Younger, quicker acceleration and running with the ball. Piroe is a good finisher, just can’t unshackle himself from PL defenders, speed (with a brain) is king at the top

Thing with Piroe is people making assumption's he cant play int the premier league after playing a handful of games when we were crap early on. A couple of times he came on he has nearly scored every time. The guy has been destroyed by farke like he has other's.

[spaldy]

It does seem like he was made scapegoat of our offense during our dark days.

I do agree with Oz that he's come real close many times. The guy has a cannon of a shot and doesn't need much time to shoot. That shot that hit the post from the Left side a couple of games ago was flat out moving and almost no load time to trigger it. Just seems that we could switch some things up to give him chances.

I do hope he gets a chance to play for someone that uses him. I liked him and he was much better on sitters than previous strikers we had. He was a huge factor in our promotion.

[norfolk white]

Calm and clinical, hasn?t got speed nor heading ability but possesses a laser type eye for a defence splitting pass, top scorer in the championship I believe, really like him and expect many clubs will want him, I hope he stays and is used more often.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

as far as the current squad goes, Farke has said he doesn't think anyone else will go, Meslier looks like he'll leave on a free in the summer, Piroe won't drop to championship so theres only really a PSV or Celtic type move that might tempt him but otherwise he seems determined to fight for his place at Leeds, I don't think Gnonto leaves, when we play with wingers, him and Okafor look decent, also have Aaronson who can play on the right, and James to come back from injury, I was concerned that Tanaka looks disgruntled at the lack of minutes recently, made worse now with Longstaff returning from injury, I don't want Tanaka to leave, hes a very tidy footballer, and overall, if anyone leaves this month, it has to be with the idea that we have a replacement lined up, I think the Harrison loan out and Buonanotte loan in coinsided with each other to a degree, the only guy we wouldn't need to replace if he leaves this month is Meslier as we still have 3 senior GKs

Hope you have a better year this year Clive.
Yes, I think we will stay up. Do you know officially, there are only 6 "managers" in the Premier League? The rest are Head Coaches. Managers report only to ownership (not to directirs etc) and have a big say on acquisition of players. The 6 are: Arteta at Arsenal, Guardiola at City, Emery at Villa, glassner at Palace, Moyes at Everton and Farke at Leeds. Look where the 1st three are on the ladder, and Palace won the Cup last year. I have hope.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Thank you :-)

yeah I think managers are better equipped to succeed, they coach players who theyve had an input in wanting, head coaches are expected to work with players they might not want

[spaldy]

CP

Very interesting fact! Thank you

That?s some pretty elite company!!!!

[whitestomper45]

Palace offering 45M + 5M for JSL. Mateta must be going Florist I reckon
