Phillip's off to Burnley is the rumour

What is it with Leeds?
Pressure games they always bottle (Norwich, Sheff Utd, Wigan and now Derby ) all at home too.
I always said that Bartley made the likes of Cooper and Jansson look good.
Hernandez has not played well for the past 6 weeks and we simply did not have any strength in depth when injuries started to bite.
I actually felt that Lampard out thought Bielsa on the night so credit to him in his first season.
If Bielsa stays we need to invest around £20 million in buying a quality defender, midfielder and attacker.
Now we might get that from the sale of 2 or 3 players but that means we need to replace those 2 or 3 with quality loans.
Oh and the way the goalkeeper played on Wednesday is a worry too.

20 Mil doesn't go as far as it used to. There's no way have that kind of money to spend. Perhaps the Americans will buy a bigger stake in the club, but until that happens or we sell our best players, it isn't going to happen.

He would be nuts to make that move. Punching above their weight at the moment. If Bielsa stays I would be very confident of him staying

Swap for Wood or Vydra, move Bamford out for a defensive midfielder....Remember Bielsa worked a miracle with Philips, that defensive midfielder only needs the basic attributes.

Looked ok when I `ve seen him.
Admittedly I`ve only seen him on TV but has always looked assured and marshalled the back 4 well enough.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri May 17, 2019 9:30 pm
