apparently bielsa loves him. rates him very highly but nobodys sure when he will be first team ready or if he will break down again.
playing for the u23s on a regular badis

Bielsa rates Foreshaw highly but who knows. I suspect he thinks Foreshaw will be adequate cover for Phillips for this season when he’s fit.

Full house for Crewe tomorrow night. Incredible support!

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Aug 23, 2021 7:02 pm  

Forshaw didn't play for the u23s today, he'll probably starts against Crewe

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Aug 24, 2021 5:59 am  

Fingers crossed he can play full 90

Interesting that 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch both own a small share in Leeds also according to Lynch on Leeds Live.

Ive seen Kyle in Leeds T-shirts doing press conferences and i think last years draft.

I cant tell you the pain it causes me as a Niner. Kills me. But if either are ever in Leeds id buy em both a drink.

I see Cunha signing for Athletico Madrid. £27m. He’d have been great business at that price.

Even better if we could have got 10-12 m for Costa.
Another one missed unfortunately.
I know I`m living in cloud cuckoo land but just think Gray and Cunha = 29m minus Costa say 12m and it`s a net 17m outlay for 2 good signings that would certainly have transformed us.

Maybe in a normal market we'd have seen some championship clubs come in for the likes of Costa, but it seems to be a very slow market this year (for obvious reasons). In terms of net spend, we're the 9th biggest spenders in the PL so war this window, which puts things in perspective.
