WORLD CUP LEEDS 🏆 | WILL LEEDS STRUGGLE TO KEEP HOLD OF TYLER ADAMS?

[@kevinumber7]

Good show guys! Mckennie is also better than you think, coming off a calf injury but he was reason we qualified and his tricks and box to box outclassed every #8 in group B. Musah will also move up to a bigger club, turned 20 Tuesday. Then Reyna omg, is incredible and a teenager. BTW, watch out for Paxten Aaronson, Brendan's younger bro. Just signed with Eintracht Frankfurt. We got loads of players in the pipeline.

[@ITrevor25]

Tyler Adams seems to be fitting very well into Leeds on and off the pitch. I doubt he takes the first or second offer that comes his way.

[@christianperry9187]

I doubt he takes any offer tbh. If Leeds are willing to pay him a good amount he'll stay. I don't think Leeds will have to pay him as much as somewhere like Man U just because Adams loves the team and he wants to start. He doesn't want a situation where he gets a big transfer then rides the bench only starting for cup games.

[@andytaylor3112]

he is opening a new way. hopefully marsch can supplement with adecuate quallity with in the team structure. not flood it though. i trust marsch to build around adams. he has bought a thought and seems to be happy with it. dont think the new owners are going to let him go with out a pretty price on his head

what a great chat. in full agreement about tyler adams, i live in the north east of england (im originally from leeds) and surrounded by newcastle supporters. the ones i work with at the start of the world cup were all giving it the big noise about trippier, bruno, wilson and who ever else that might be there for them (i dont now, and i dont care), but they laughed at me when i said watch adams. they are now starting to see what i was saying. as a defensive midfielder he is solid. if we can sort the defensive issues in january, i think we will see better from not just adams but rocca also. i think a lot of roccas problems lie in that he isnt confident of who is behind him. if he drops a bollock, who is going to mop up? in fact, i would go as far as saying the whole team isnt confident with our defence at the moment. including our defence. gutted he is going to be missing from the haaland drubbing we'll probably now be getting, but really cant wait for new years eve afternoon in the pub.

Gabe, valuations aren’t linear….ever. It’s like an F1 team spending $10m for each 10th of a second of improvement in lap times. The quality-margins are small at the top end of the market whereas the prices you pay aren’t.

[@GabeTheAmerican]

Thats a good point! I just think the premium for some of the English players is offensively bloated

[@SST9589]

@@GabeTheAmerican Agreed - but the price is set by the buyer. What they’re willing to pay. The player can have two values, the one he’s worth to the club he’s with and the one he’s worth to the buyer. Cucarella was great for Brighton, but sadly in their team his value was less than a team seeing him as a difference between them being good and great. £60m later he’s gone. I don’t like the current dynamic at Leeds, our economy means we can’t really get attached to players which has been the Leeds way for 50 years. We’ve always had our Leeds thru and thru heroes, fast-food business prevents much of that.

Robinson is a LB we should of gone for.

[@dau1024]

Forshaw is the perfect profile to come off the bench in midfield for Leeds. When Adams and especially Roca are gassed at the end of games we need somebody who can keep the ball and draw defenders in if we're winning. And a striker that can bring the ball down when we go long so we can actually clear it. I'm hoping the rumors that we're letting Forshaw and Klich go this winter mean we're getting a midfielder. Sasa Lukic is apparently who we're after and would fit perfectly IMO.

[@dau1024]

@@clivet3252 I wouldn't mind giving that a try. It's a tough call, because it would make it much easier for opponents to play through our press, but it might be worth it in certain situations. I don't think Roca is quick enough to handle that role which is a bit of a problem. I don't think Dallas could do it either. It's a shame Forshaw can't stay fit because we could use him with Adams when we want to be more defensive and save Roca for when we need to attack.

[@ianelliott549]

@@clivet3252 it's funny ya know, because we spent 2 seasons in the Premier league utilising klich too deep in the midfield when he has no real defensive tendencies. Klich has always looked more comfortable breaking forward from midfield and arriving late in and around the box. But to do this he needs a solid midfield platform behind him. Therefore he would be best served in a 3. Now we have that solid platform in adams and roca, we no longer utilise klich for those attacking qualities 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 4-3-3 would suit us well. Klich, Adams and roca as a midfield 3. With Aaronson, rodrigo and summerville as a front 3.

@@dau1024 I agree to a certain extent but what I'm saying is in the previous 2 seasons in the Premier league klich has been playing deeper, doing too much defending, with little alongside him to back him up because of phillips injury issues.

Now we have that in adams and roca I feel klich would be worth a go in a midfield 3 with them 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Sinisterra has been injured all season on and off and Harrison hasn't turned up since August 21st against Chelsea tbf mate, so it's not like either player has shone really is it?! 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 I don't get this thing we have as a fanbase where we don't think certain players are worth a chance, but we think others (like Harrison) are just worth a constant starting place regardless 🤷‍♂️

Premier League clubs don’t have to sell unless they get the money they want and have the money to make bids that are too big for European clubs to turn down when they really want a player.

I think something was left out. Yes, he picked up a knock AND thus was not game fit over some of the other players. I also think Reyna is a little too daring at times and gives the ball away cheaply, in midfield, and we need to keep teams from getting out on the break against us. I think the fact that we gave up one goal on a pen, (none from live play) in three games proves Berhalter chose the right team every game. We should have scored more than two goals with the chances we had. These players have been playing together for 5 or 6 years, they are just young. They may ger past the Dutch but that's about as far as I see us going. But the football is much better under this manager. It doesn't show in CONCACAF because those teams foul 25-30 tines a game to slow it down, ten get away with another 25 fouls.

And when you have defenders who crumble under the slightest pressure every week, then unfortunately European qualification will forever remain a pipedream.
