Great news.

I'm not sure I'd start Rodrigo. He looked lost yesterday.
Probably injury absence rust. However, James looked
and was a handful. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Bamford
as our advanced two. James playing the Rodrigo role.
Even if it's for a half. Curious to see it.

Rumour of signing the young Belgian lad in the midfield would be nice. No idea if he's any good but have to trust the club.

^^^^^

Belgian kid?

Apparently we've agreed a 6 million deal for Nicolas Raskin. Box to box Belgian U21.

Cheers Shaun. If that's true, this falls under the
Athletic's 'Sensible Transfer' model. Six mill, if he
can help immediately is very sensible for us.

Agree Batty! James was awesome chasing down their back line.

Phil Hay said he'd heard nothing about Raskin. Doesnt mean it isnt true though. His Wikipedia page got edited yesterday haha

I don't see James as being able to play in the midfield as 8/10. So its James or Bamford up top and I think Bamford has to start if fit. He offers what James does with the pressing and is surprisingly quick, but he's also a much better finisher obviously.

Then it's James or Harrison on the left, and Harrison just scored a hattrick.

If Forshaw is available he obviously starts anyway.

its getting close to having a problem with who gets in the team. fantastic problem to have.
i like the guy but dont think rodrigo should be in the starting 11 with all these players back.
backup for bamford i would imagine.

Who do you play in the midfield if Forshaw isn’t available?

posted on 17/1/22

Hjelde wasnt too bad at LB although he is obviously a LCB

Koch with Dallas and Klich at 10. Struijk at LB for me. Its a must not lose game.

Yeah I think James misses out if Bamford is fit.

If Rodrigo doesn’t play it has to be because we are starting either Hjelde or Bate.

Because we will be trying to dominate the game against Newcastle more so than West Ham away I don’t see Hjelde being used as a left back.

Its Bate or Rodrigo in the midfield for me.

It might be bait but this site says we're in for this bod!..

It says it comes from The Athletic, so no idea, but if I was a German Chairman I'd think before doing any deal with Leeds!..

I see us as a problem club for transfers in Germany!..

Llorente and Hjelde with Ayling right back.

Why are you swapping Struijk & Hjelde after the West Ham game? I would keep them as they were if Hjelde plays.

Germany, did the JKA issue with Leipzig ever get resolved?

comment by Batty (U4664)

posted on 17/1/22

I think I read the JKA court hearing's in March?
Could've dreamt it though.

posted on 17/1/22

steross, nope, that bill is still coming!..

A reason I said I'd be a bit unwilling doing deals with Leeds, the one with Leipzig still on going and one with Bayern that went wrong!..

And the Lasogga thing didn't go the way it was meant to, so I think German clubs will think twice before doing any deals with us!..

"I think I read the JKA court hearing's in March?"

Batty, not heard anything about that but it must be due!..

Court hearing on 15th March 2022

Just had a look at JKA on whoscored. He's played less than 45 minutes in the season and a half since he was at Leeds.

Rodrigo was excellent against the Toon last time out. This match is made for him.

Dallas has to start at LB for me. Starting a CB there is a recipe for disaster if they start ASM, and Struijk may be needed in the middle against Wood. I'd be tempted to start Rodrigo, and swap him for Bate at half time if it isn't working. Don't like the idea of Raphinha at 10.

Add Stuart McKinstry to the growing list of injuries, very marginal I know but reduces options even further down.
