Leeds Ginge

Survived comfortably and had a nice cup run. Thank you Farke - now goodbye. Not a reaction based on today - but subs are incorrect for game state or far too late. Personnel choices are baffling. 2 of the easiest upgrades of the summer are a 10/RW and the manager. Get it done

@LewisDeighton17 He was not the problem Everyone points at the PO final -Southampton went to a back 5 and doubled up on him. It’s then the managers job to adapt to find the key players space. He was incredible for us, carried us for majority of the season and the narrative around him is bonkers

A lot was said about Summerville when he left, from people in and around the club. There were moments where it bled through in the public eye, also. The ‘🥶’ brigade can spin it all they like. This is a quite obvious dig - not one that you’d see for Rutter or Archie. #LUFC

@Wazza1882 Very very optimistic fees here. You may get 1/2 sales at a decent price - but largely you get rinsed. Also you will loan out a few players that you can’t get SCR/PSR equal on - because selling for below that worsens the position. Really not as easy as you’ve laid out here

#THFC CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD MANAGEMENT GOALKEEPERS: Guglielmo Vicario - SOLD - £15m Inter interested, he will be sold for around €18m-€20m. Antonin Kinsky - KEPT - Will be battling it out with another signing for the No. 1 spot. Brandon Austin - UNSURE - Battling it out for 3rd choice. Luca Gunter - UNSURE - Battling it out for 3rd choice. DEFENDERS: Radu Dragusin - SOLD - £20m Will most likely return to Italy for around €25m. Kevin Danso - KEPT - Some clubs will be interested but we will work hard to keep him. Destiny Udogie - SOLD - £20m Will most likely return to Italy for around €25m. Cristian Romero - SOLD - £45m Will leave after a good World Cup and go to Spain. Pedro Porro - SOLD - £25m Will leave and go back to Spain. Djed Spence - KEPT - Will battle it out to be first choice right back. Ben Davies - UNSURE - Depends on injury and whether there is a role for him at the club in a playing or coaching capacity. Micky Van de Ven - SOLD - £60m Most likely to the Premier League. Luka Vuskovic - KEPT - Will be first choice and brought back to partner Danso. Ashley Phillips - KEPT - Will be a good squad player for us, battling to play games. Kota Takai - SOLD - £5m Will be moved on. Spell in Germany not great and suffers a few injuries. Souza - KEPT - Will battle it out for Left Back. MIDFIELDERS: Joao Palhinha - SENT BACK - Not sure Palhinha would sign to play in the Championship. Would sign him if he did. Gut feeling is he won’t. Xavi Simons - SOLD - £45m - Unfortunately too much of a luxury for the championship and will most likely be sold at a cheaper price than when bought. Yves Bissouma - KEPT - We have a 1 year option on him and we may well decide to exercise that and keep him as a squad player in the championship. James Maddison - KEPT - The reason I’m saying this is, he’ll be 30 in November, coming back from a serious injury and will want to play regularly. Family settled and feels he can do a job for us. I could be wrong, but I feel he stays. Archie Gray - KEPT - And probably made Captain. Vital we rebuff all advances and keep him with a promise that if we don’t go back up he can go. Lucas Bergvall - KEPT - Still raw and needs to spend that season with us. Mohammad Kudus - SOLD - £35m lots of clubs will want to sign him. Dejan Kulusevski - KEPT - Injury will force him to stay I feel and not many clubs will want to take a risk. Conor Gallagher - SOLD - £25m will move to another prem club. Pape Matar Sarr - KEPT - Another youngster that will be given a promise of stay and if we don’t make it you can go. Rodrigo Bentancur - SOLD - £15m 29 in June, unlikely to remain in Championship. Jamie Donley - KEPT - Good squad player to have. Manor Solomon - SOLD - £10m will move on after loan. Alfie Devine - KEPT - Good squad player to have. FORWARDS: Richarlison - SOLD - £20m back to Brazil. Mathys Tel - KEPT - Conversations need to be had here. Could wreck in the championship, but needs reassurances. Dominic Solanke - SOLD - £40m - Newcastle bound. Wilson Odobert - KEPT - Recovering from injury, due back October. Randal Kolo Muani - SENT BACK - Loan over. Will Lankshear - KEPT - Good squad striker to have. Mikey Moore - KEPT - Will wreck in championship and can give him a pivotal role. Alejo Veliz - SOLD - £7m back to Argentina. Dane Scarlett - SOLD - £5m not really having a great time on his loans. Played but not effective enough. Yang-Min Hyeok - SOLD - £5m Not really pushing on as expected with his loans. Total Potential Player Sale Income: £395m No. Of Players Left With: 18 Need to Sign: 6-7 #COYS

Tanaka is shitting all over our midfield at the moment

@SenBanter @SomethingRibald Anti-football. Haramball. 9 defenders. No risk. Play for set pieces. All after spending >700m. Bad for football

@LeedsGinge @SomethingRibald Perfect for football my bro 🫵🏾🫡

Guys.. what if we win today? And City lose to Chelsea? Let yourself imagine it, just for a second..

@SenBanter @SomethingRibald I don’t care if you win the league. It’s just bad for football.

@SomethingRibald @LeedsGinge

Tiene una mirada triste que solo se ve en el porno gay de Europa del Este o en alguien que jugaría en el Tottenham.

@Kershaw444 He wasn’t exactly ground breaking last season when we won the league… sentiment gets you absolutely no-where

Just a word on Joel Piroe, I know he hasn’t had an impact this season and yesterday he didn’t cover himself in glory but the club did the right thing keeping hold of some players just incase we go down, if we stay up we will see more big changes this summer but there is no bad feelings towards Joel or any of the others not getting game time #lufc

@EthanFromOnline At least an actual make-a-wish kid might dribble

Piroe's performance was like a make a wish kid from start to finish, now I think I'd have preferred an actual make a wish kid played instead. #LUFC

@london_leeds @PremLeaguePanel 49ers manager swap would be delightful 🤍

@PremLeaguePanel @LeedsGinge

There is a definite argument to say that Germany have the best coaching system in place. The way Danny Röhl & Tonda Eckert transformed Championship teams is eye-opening in the last few seasons. Southampton were 3 points off relegation when Eckert was appointed - an FA Cup semi-final and on track to get play-offs is crazy work. Sheffield Wednesday have won 1 game all season without Röhl after he saved them from relegation previously. Röhl has now gone on to take Rangers from 13 points behind the leaders to 1st place. And they both learnt from others in different roles before becoming managers. Hansi Flick is the poster-boy for this. He did his apprenticeship as an assistant manager to Joachim Löw in his World Cup win as well as assistant at Bayern. Röhl himself did his an apprenticeship under Flick as his assistant. Eckert worked with Bayern’s youth teams then became an assistant manager at Barnsley & Genoa. Learning from others, rising through the ranks, then using their experiences to take on the big job.

Marcelo, When you came to manage Leeds United, the false dawns and false starts had become the norm. The brief moments of joy were exceptional respites during the decade-and-a-half away from the top-tier of English football - 'the banter years'. The club had been unloved and uncared for by many managers and owners on the spiral down the football pyramid. That is why - when you brought a seemingly inexhaustible amount of competence and passion - it was a revolution. No one know what to expect before that first game of the season. And like before every first game of every new season, we all held our collective breath. So when Mateusz Klich stabbed home that shot against Stoke on that sunny day in August 2018 - the Elland Road roar that preceded was an exclamation of disbelief as much as joy. What followed was the best football any of us might ever see our team play in our lifetimes. What many of us would give to go back and live it all again. And how did you do it? Because you care. You care passionately about every small detail, every small moment - because you know that even the tinniest component of a football club, is part of the foundation of the whole. So you adjusted the position of electric sockets on the walls of Thorp Arch; a dirty boot print in the hall never happened again; and the players picked up rubbish for an hour, because their integrity and understanding of what the fans have to do pay to watch them, was as important to you, as their physical strength. You watched a season's worth of games for every one of our opponents, studying them meticulously until you knew every strength, every weakness, and what tactical changes they would make depending on the game state. You cared. You cared so much that your passion almost has its own gravity; it draws people in - and makes them care too. You turned a mid-table Championship squad into a mid-table Premier League side - no one else could have done that. But more than that - you turned #LUFC - one of the most hated teams in the UK - into what some pundits at the time called "everyone's second team" - by virtue of the most unbelievably exciting brand of football. Every press conference was a philosophical lecture. You lambasted modern football, football authorities, the press, agents and everything else that makes a mockery of the beauty of this game. But you always praised the fans, you always praised your players and you never, ever took credit. And while others jumped at the opportunity to lap up the applause for the fruits of your labour, you never puffed proud. Embarrassed, you even had to be goaded into lifting the Championship trophy. You have left every single manager that followed in your wake an impossible task. Your shadow lingers still. You will be loved forever in this city in West Yorkshire of which your face and words adorn murals 10ft tall. And we'll never forget how your lessons of hard work, love and passion and belief and hope, transformed our club. Even when the entire establishment tried to prise you off that pedestal they had so begrudgingly put you on - during the spy gate scandal - you simply dismantled the narrative with a tactical masterclass we will never the see the like of again. And you did it all in the most disarming way, while turning sport into art, and uplifting this community. You have personally changed the trajectory of my life, and those of countless others I know. Thank you does not feel enough for the appreciation and gratitude we all feel. But it will have to do. Vamos Bielsa, Vamos Leeds Carajo! We will never forget what you did for us! Gracias Marcelo!

@RamyCol Wait… he’s not coming to Leeds?!

We do not know where Mohamed will play next season. This also means that no one else knows. Beware of the click-whoring attention seekers.

The fact that majority of these players get a T3 league move, even if we go down, should be the clearest indication of where the problem lays. Passive, safe, risk-adverse - call it what you like I call it disappointing. In year 3 - there should be no shock he’s reverting to type

Leeds have scored one goal from open play across last five and a half Premier League games (and that was a massive defensive mix up by Chelsea). Gotta get some degree of risk into their play.

Watched Brentford vs Wolves in preparation for tomorrow's game against Leeds. Not going to be an easy game but also there was some areas of weakness I think Leeds can exploit. Let's take a look at how Monday nights game played out.

@_th3halfspace This aged like Madeline McCann

pay particular attention to: - how the defense reacts with a more assured sweeper defending the space behind them - their willingness to play out the back knowing back passes aren’t ticking time bombs - the increased first phase effectiveness & ability to fully recycle play

@london_leeds I miss him more every game. This type of maverick/chaos is exactly what we need playing off DCL

I love him!

@AdamCrafton_ Haha - the flair is on the bench, not in the squad OR on loan at Valencia

If Leeds find a way to go down, their decision makers will have a lot to answer for in how they didn’t add a little extra flair or firepower in January. Very stodgy from an attacking perspective.
