I wonder if the local council has a "waste footballer recycling centre" ?

Could put him in the red bin for later in the week then.

I don't know of any player in the football pyramid who gets as many repeated injuries as this guy. Relentless. Not that it should even be a doubt about signing/loaning left back cover but this utterly reinforces the need for that.

Sell him in Jan, sign Muamba from Plymouth. Left back solved.

Just an aside, did you listen to Bamford on Radio 5 this afternoon, he seemed quite upbeat and didn't seem to care that you don't rate him Batty.

Alioski was on £15k a week and they brought in Slobro on £60k a week because they didn’t want to give Alioski a pay raise…how much was Alioski asking for?

I definitely would not get rid of Bamford.
Besides the point he's not a hot commodity and injury prone I'd rather bring him on than Joseph. On every Leeds site I go on there's plenty of Bamford bashers and I just don't see how some of them can be so hateful of one of our own.
Must say I felt like that for a player once, saiz I think his name was. Got red carded for spitting. Also he had a few tricks so he deceived some fans about how useless he was.
Firpo just doesn't seem like hell ever get settled in but I wouldn't waste money on a lb this year. I'd be more inclined to sign a cb or two.

SlowBro 🤣


Wasn't it 3 million for the season for Alioksi's improved deal?

If the club bring in a striker in January, Bamford’ll
Be joining Bill on match day.

They won't bring in another striker, Bamford is still held in regard at the club.
Other areas more important to prioritise.

I'm struggling to see us signing anyone in Jan. Might get Nico Williams or someone like that, fringe player from the prem. Unless Gnonto leaves, I can't see us singing another attacker. Id let Anthony go back to Bournemouth and go for someone else. Pick of the bunch from our league would be Rowe from Norwich.

So is Bill. He can't get in the match day squad.
So is Coops and Dallas. Too many are sentimental.

This is a business. The club want out of this division.
I think the 49ers will do what is needed to strengthen.
It might be two loans. It might be two loans and a
permanent signing. We need a LB, CB, still could use
a 10. And we need goals off the bench.

Listening to fans talk about Bamford "needing time"
"needing to build his confidence" doesn't square with
the fact that he's not the same player any more.

And again, this is a business. No room for sentiment.

i don't get this player bashing when they get injured, it's not like they want to ffs, you gotta feel for a player
