Just read on the BBC that new manager has them at the training ground from 9 am until seven or eight at night. They have dormitories for resting between sessions. Don't know if it's true but we should do that. We looked fitter at Wigan than at PNE last year but, crucially, still not as fit as our opponents. There is NO EXCUSE for this. I know it's an old chestnut but they are all hugely privileged young men, paid huge amounts to get fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just haven't materialised yet due to a few teething troubles. That's my understanding of it anyway. Not sure about BK Latex- isn't that some sort of balloon company? Yes I think it is mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I flippinghate Leeds. Hate to say it but they have appointed a quality highly thought off manager. Signed some useful players and everyone seems to be pulling in the same direction, the complete opposite of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 11 minutes ago, Athelwulf said: Leeds are like the Blades, in that they have a good youth policy. They must have raked in tens of millions over the years in player sales. It's only just over a year since they flogged Wood for £15 mil. Well if they had been unable to offload Woods, ditto pigs and Brooks they'd be up the creek without a paddle. Leeds have spent this summer, they will have to pay for it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re championing them in thread, aren’t we? But we aren't Leeds - we have an ageing injury prone squad with a few quality players - and one game changer - Leeds had a team of young energetic players and it seems could absorb the loss of the players they sold - not sure we can at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of the issue re Chansiri supposedly buying all the ads, sponsoringthe shirts etc- If he walks tomorrow we start from scratch in so many areas- that's why I'm interested to know how.kuch he's put in. If he's injected the same amounts that Leeds are generating then you can't knock that- as it's more than we could possibly have generated and therefore probably justifies going down the road we have.

Shifty Powers Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Quite jealous they have got someone like Biesla in charge tbh. A complete unknown in terms of English football, but his continental record is half decent. Reminds me when Carlos came in during his first season - albeit only one game in! So exciting, aggressive and forward thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello 77 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 We haven't traded players for the last three years because they've been average and on stupidly long contracts. Every normal club TRADES PLAYERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
