Farke presser

"In my opinion, that's not the definition of having a bad attitude, you should see my kids when I ask them to tidy their rooms, do their home work, help with the washing up, take the dog for a walk, put that crisp packet in the bin, well anything really. "

Yeah but your kids are in their 40s....

So are mine and I can relate to that 😏

Will be interesting to see if this hinders a previously productive and long standing relationship between Leeds and Creswell's agent Hayden Evans. Worth remembering that he is also Archie Gray's agent.

Not disputing what Farke is saying and why he is saying it, but could be a knock on impact on future discussions and advice involving Gray if that previously healthy relationship is soured at all.

Charlie Cresswell is understandably frustrated: having done well at Millwall, having watched the exodus during the summer, he must have thought this was his breakthrough season for us. Then Rodon arrived and has become a giant. You can see why Cresswell feels the way he does - but being a pro means competing, and I don't think that in that press conference, Farke is shutting the door on him.

It's a tricky one for Farke because he obviously rates Cresswell and wants him to stay and fight - but at the same time, he's had to deal with Spence, for whom things were also not quite right, plus he's had to let go of Ayling. Obviously, sitting on the bench is hard for players like Ayling but Spence and particularly Cresswell must expect to fight for their chance. I think Farke's doing as well as he can on this - and if Cresswell does go, it must only be at the right price.

Whatever, I do hope we sign a dedicated right or left back, preferably both, before the month is out.

Bate
Gyabi
Geldhart

Anyone else I’ve missed off, who are nowhere near it, despite been lauded

No issue, if a player is annoyed at not playing and not happy, I get it, I wouldn’t expect it any other way.

But if the manager, wont pick him(we have injuries) because of his focus.

Thats having a bad attitude 🤷🏻‍♂️

Its got to be quite serious for a player to have been literally banned from first team.

Left this a day or two, we don't know what's gone on, Farke seems to have thrown a young kid who clearly loves Leeds, who wants to play for Leeds, under a bus.

He thinks he's good enough to play for the first team and has the audacity to say so to the manager. That isn't an attitude problem.

What Farke has done has made it so that he is unlikely to ever be able to play for Leeds.

His performances for the first team haven't been great and on those alone, none of us would say he was anywhere near ready but I don't think Farke has handled this at all well, such that without knowing what has gone on, Leeds fans can come on and say he has got an attitude problem. That's bollocks.

The other thing with that is, if you see this a kind of reference and clubs are seeing are seeing it and interpreting it as you do, Farke doesn't say it but implies it, it reduces his options for a move down.

Very poor management, in my opinion.

Really disappointing to hear that Cresswell looks like he's going to leave permanently. I really thought he'd have a successful career at Leeds but I suppose we don't see what goes on behind closed doors and if he's not living up to Farke's standards then like Spence DF doesn't mess about.

I do worry though he'll eventually come back to Leeds in an opposition shirt and make us all say why did we let him go so easily but I'll definitely be following his progress and wish him well.

Also on an unrelated matter, does anyone know if I purchase a £50 club membership now does it last 12 months till January 2025 or does it only last till the end of this season?

We hype our players up too much.

Cressweel has one good game for Millwall suddenly he's going to play for England.

As for this being a Farke issue, Gnonto wanted a move with everyone else going, hard to pin that on Farke, indeed Farke should take credit for turning it around.

Spence's poor attitude has been identified by other managers and his parent club, again, Farke should take credit with dealing with it quickly.

Richard Cresswell recently went public about his son, he should know better than to do that and again, I believe that Farke has judged this perfectly.

Totally agree. It looks to me like Creswell has been badly advised by Richard Cresswell.

Yes he’s a decent centre back with huge potential …..but he’s behind Rodon, Struijk, Cooper, and now it seems, Ampadu as well.

He’s right sided so I can only see him playing or getting on the bench if Rodon gets injured.

That’s life. Suck it up or ask for a transfer.

Gyabi, nowhere near the first team yet starts for Plymouth after only a couple of days training.
Appears to have done OK and Foster not unhappy with his start, the local press scoring him 6/10 about average for the team.
The pathway at Leeds with Ampadu, Kamara, Greuv and Gray ahead of him is quite daunting but it does make me wonder whether there is something of do some people's faces fit more than others with the guy, does he have his favourites.
