Starting to wonder the what the hell is going on. I really don’t think it’s that complicated. He’s had a new long term injury which has involved re-injury and therefore extra caution needed. To get him to the point to be involved in high speed full training has clearly taken time. I’m glad they’re handling it like this rather than rush him back ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Never had one myself. But everyone I have spoken to who has had a quad injury. Says it is really hard to gauge where you’re at with your recovery. Like medically you are fine and cleared to play. But your brain doesn’t allow you to fully open up and you’re forever worried about it going again. For someone that relies on explosive pace. I’d imagine that is quite a big factor.

They’re just being cautious/professional about it. Quite apart from protecting the lad himself, huge investment by the club. Only priority is getting him 100% however long it takes. Personally, I reckon he is close to appearing (on the bench). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 5:30pm kick offs but 3pms are the bread and butter and they're going to be a novelty from now on. Hate to imagine the number of them that the two Manchester clubs and Liverpool get a season, must be only about 6 or 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Few mates have ST’s at Spurs. I think they had like two 3pm home KO’s in 2 seasons or something absurd like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I actually don't mind when they change the kick off time, as long as it stays on a Saturday. When it gets changed to Monday fucking night though, that is just pure cack! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Nowt wrong with that answer tbh. The way football has been captured by big money is lifting. It just so turns out that we are now benefitting from it. He doesn't specifically have a dig at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 100% correct on everything he is saying there. I'd love to see everyone start on a level playing field but it'll never happen. What I dislike is stopping others from catching up. It's a rigged game from top to bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Exactly. The worse thing about football in this country is that you have to have money to compete which in turn allows you to get better and become successful. But everything is skewed against those sides that don’t have the wealth and success is kept for those already at the top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have as much pace as Wilson but he gets much closer to defenders on a lot more occasions than Wilson does when pressing. Yes probably it ends up with nothing but he really does try.

Ikon Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Speaking of Wood. Lately he has been good backup for us, but last season he was poor overall. The Wood we saw against Leicester is the one I expected us to get. Last season he looked like old timber where his timing, touch and everything else was off. Much better now. People saying he contributed a lot last season are wrong imo. He worked but more or less nothing worked out for him. Yea we won games, but it wasn’t because of him even if he helped to a degree because he was on the pitch, obviously. Looks a different player now.

Rich Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 On the finances, it's a bit of a wank question when Leeds themselves have a net spend of around £175M over the last three seasons. We're now at £270M. Our total transfer spend is identical in that period, just a massive chunk of theirs was funded by Raphina and Phillips' sales. We could've spent what each of us has spent under Ashley if we'd had any assets to shift. You'd think PIF had pumped in £1B the way people go on.

Comparing the way clubs are financially ran here to NA Salary Capped Leagues is a bit silly and cliché, mind. The Mets have a $300 million yearly wage bill.

WilliamPS Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Every opposition manager will get asked that q or a similar one and many will give a more hostile answer than that one And of course it’s the money - last season relegation was nailed on. No takeover cash = no Howe and no signings. It’s not just the money spent, it’s the promise of much more cash to come as well, so historic net spend isn’t so relevant. No way Botman, Bruno and Isak sign, and Howe/Ashworth etc commit unless they believe the spending is going to run and run. Personally I’m happy with that, but I totally get why other clubs will massively resent it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Our finances will be an oven ready excuse for most managers in the league. Bigger (clubs) and better (managers) have already wheeled it out, so he is going to as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
