KEEPER SIGNING! Leeds United Set to Sign New Goalie

[@marksanderson6454]

We need competition for all areas on the pitch. I'm sure when Nigel Martyn and Paul Robinson were both competing for the no1 shirt it made them more valued to the team

[@clivet3252]

@@marksanderson6454 it didn't. Robinson replaced Martyn, he wasn't as good and we got relegated.

[@marksanderson6454]

@clivet3252 at the time it did Martyn left and said competition left with him and the result spoke for its self.

Leeds made a mistake in the summer by not signing Viktor Johannson from rotherham for 1 million a good keeper and a Swedish international .

yeah he had some great games last season even when rotherham were shite defensively.

[@Natalie_Playz]

Meslier wont be demoted to a second choice. It will have to be a good price offer or transfer request that will force Farke into not playing the "best keeper in the league".

surely they can promote youngsters and reward loyalty

[@joeblackburn42]

That depends on the level of the youngsters though, right?

[@blade123able]

Get a grip ffs, we need a goalie in Jan with experience, not a 17 year old. The sooner Meslier is out of the team the better, he’s going to cost us promotion.

[@clivet3252]

@@blade123able Meslier is a better goalkeeper than Farke is a manager. You can't blame Meslier for every goal scored against us.

[@Writeous0ne]

@@clivet3252 definitely not. Farke gets 2 points per game in this league, that's right at the top. Meslier is always below average for his statistical performances and he clearly doesn't save shots that should be saved.

[@clivet3252]

@Writeous0ne oh so the 2 points per game are entirely down to the manager?

[@Writeous0ne]

@@clivet3252 well, he's got 2ppg over 4 seasons with 2 different teams and each of those had different squads each season, so yes. Because the ppg is the same regardless of other factors, i can conclude it is mostly down to the manager that the system he uses will get a good points tally assuming the players in the system perfomr. If Aaronson and Bamford scored their clear chances yesterday its 2 or 3-1. If Whitehead got sent of it is an easier game. So yes none of the fine margins involved are the manager.

[@clivet3252]

@Writeous0ne He had different squads of good players. And Leeds is different to Norwich. We don't need a good points tally, we need to get promoted. We had a season where we won the league by 10 points and it didn't look like this.

[@hossainshaikhani1297]

Yes, I agree with you Joe, but we need a good established goalie in the summer.

[@timbarrett8039]

The summer is too late. Meslier has already cost us 8 points this season. Stick with him, and we certainly won't go up in one of the 2 automatic places. He's an accident waiting to happen!

[@alanhamford2538]

Hi Joe. Will Leeds cut with Sonny Perkins & Amari Miller this summer? And what league is their fit after Leeds?

[@marksanderson6454]

You had my hopes up there Joe. Oh well onward with Messlier and support him we will

[@kevwoods6827]

I remember meslier v Arsenal what went wrong he could pick out a player easily

[@Snortflakes]

So we haven't signed a first team goalkeeper.

[@Drcox222]

I hope it's not another Klaesson with cook.

[@TrPortg]

Kilkenny plays for Perth glory!

[@jasonredshaw71]

David Moyes at the game yesterday. Are the 49’s sounding out a new manager? Your thoughts Joe?

[@CB-xr1eg]

Moyes has connections with Preston as he used to manage the club. Anyone thinking he is a possible Farke replacement is over thinking it.

[@joeblackburn42]

I severely doubt that - it would be madness to be inviting managers to games when you're in the top two and on track to go up

[@David-qu2kv]

Let's pray to God Moyes doesn't get anywhere near Leeds the guys an absolute clown,god the thought of that twat as manager.

[@clivet3252]

@@joeblackburn42 Heckingbottom one of our worst ever managers and he did a number on Farke. Russell Martin stinking up the Premier League and has just been sacked but he got the better of Farke last season. Leicester and Ipswich not doing great. And Farke has one of the worst records in the Premier League.

[@koby1985]

Meslier is good enough for this league. Needs to be replaced regardless in the summer.

[@waynedawson1366]

I think we should get behind Meslier and show him support, Meslier getting blamed for the goal against Preston was rather Harsh in my opinion. It seems now that any goal against us, all blame is pointed towards Meslier which is unfair. Other factors came into play against Preston, 1, was loosing the Ball, But what's not been taken into consideration was how well Preston Counter attacked to scorebthe goal, and I also thought the shot was well taken. But no, Leeds fans just want to Blame Meslier. Is it me, or are Leeds fans starting to sound like scum fans if we don't win. (I know I'll get flack for that) But its true.

[@clivet3252]

Meslier has been pretty decent this season. He was excellent against Middlesbrough. The Preston goal was hit first time and it's always hard to save first time shots because you're not set. Leeds fans always have to have a scapegoat who can do nothing right, just like there's always a favourite who can do nothing wrong. Meslier is a better goalkeeper than Farke is a manager.

[@waynedawson1366]

@clivet3252 Nice one Clive, good to have someone talking sense. Yes it was hit first time and well struck, plus it was a short range effort which are harder to react to. But, Like you say, looking for a scapegoat rather than the whole picture. 🙄

[@beauburton_08]

He is absolutely terrible worst Leeds keeper in my life and I met him after a game and he was really rude not that that’s relevant lol but I just hate him FFS he makes so many mistakes I beg we get a new keeper and just sell him back to the baguette munchers FFS

[@timegan1884]

Mes is not a good keeper. A lot of clean sheets are down to the players in front of him. Zero to 2 or 3 shots on target per game. It's not a lot to save.

[@clivet3252]

@timegan1884 so if you only have a few shots to save then you should save every one?

[@Completedit383]

What’s this crap....your having a laugh! Crappy rumours.

[@joeblackburn42]

Sure, if you say so. It's DEFINITELY a rumour out of nowhere that we might be signing a young player that's already trialled here
