Sam Byram

I suppose it was too much to expect Leeds could possibly do things smoothly, straight forward and without drama... there just seems to be constant chaos and anxiety attached to the club.

We'll see what unfolds these next few weeks but the noises emenating out of Elland Road appear to be the same old horrible tune we've all grown accustommed to when there are serous problems behind the scenes.

I know we all tend to imagine the worst anyway but I truly hoped Radz and his entourage leaving would be the beginning of a bright new dawn.... silly me I never learn.

I hope I'm wrong but the longer this uncertainty goes on and then scraping the barrel for freebies and loans desperately before the Cardiff game then you can only wonder have we replaced like for like upstairs and we're destined to be a championship club for years and years while Leicester and Southampton bounce straight back up.

Ffs. What on earth is going on

When I reflect on last season one of the missing ingredients in our side was STRENGTH.

Agree with LIW who has more than once recently said you cannot question the players effort last season (maybe Weston we can), its the managements fault. I do think players like Aaronson put the effort in - he just was not strong enough mentally but more so physically.

Our goalkeeper Meslier - not a commanding presence in the box and built like a lamp-post.

Centre backs - Koch Llorente Struijk are three of the weakest centre backs going. Unable to ever dominate strikers because they lack strength. Flimsy performers.

Our viking warrior signing Kristensen turned out to be more of a saxon monk. Firpo the wooden footballer but made of bamboo not oak.

Summerville and Greenwood flimsy and easy to dispossess. Roca was too slow to catch anyone to use his strength.

Aaronson the weakest player in the Premier League. A fart would blow him over.

Bamford never once ruffled the feathers of the opposition centre backs as he once did.

Worrying then that we have the likes of Costa and Poveda returning to the club.

Its like we became Care Bear Fc. A cuddly set of players who could run around but were unable to physically match any other side.

and the club are giving a trial to Sam Byram.......

Costa, Poveda - and James!!

Hopefully this isn't quite what it seems regarding Byram. He's purely staying in shape rather than being a realist.

But I share the general bewilderment for sure.

* Trialist ffs, not realist!!

Being reported now that he's just using out facilities to train due to being without a club and having both a connection with us and with Farke.

‘No thanks’ from me too. That ship sailed a long, long time ago.

Farke's words, that we can never let this happen again, are still ringing in my ears. We always let this happen again. And again.

The overreaction on her to literally anything is pretty laughable.
