To be fair, I don't think you can accuse Leeds of lacking ambition. They've spent £160m on first team players since promotion, improved the training ground, turned the academy into one of the best in the country, and put plans in place to to improve the stadium.
I do think we'll spend more in the summer if we stay up. This season is about consolidation

Sorry, yes poor turn of phrase from me there. Agree they've show good ambition so far, that needs to continue and ramp up slightly.

Bamford, Koch, Ayling definitely out
KP and Raphinha may play, but not confirmed
Harrison and Forshaw available.

Agree mate they are showing ambition especially with their infrastructure and wise investments at U23 level for sure.
Some real quality in there.
First team is still short of a quality midfielder and with that sorted I think we have no fears of going down.

Can't see Raphinha playing... he's in the starting 11 36 hours before we play. Think Bielsa will put him on the bench at best. Glad Forshaw available, gives us some cover in midfield at least.

I think much depends on the Southampton players wanting to play for their manager or not.
If they lose the manager is likely to be sacked.

Ever since he cried after beating Liverpool last season, they've barely won a game

[Frosties.]

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Oct 14, 2021 8:59 pm  

Meslier; Firpo Llorente Cooper Shackleton; Phillips; Dallas Harrison Klich James; Rodrigo.

Klaesson Struijk Forshaw Raphinha Roberts Greenwood Summerville Gelhardt Bate.

Probably something like that.

Selling your best players and replacing them with players from lower divisioms usually leads to playing in lower divisions. Ings and Vestergaard are big losses to them.
