Come on Leeds, let’s give Hernandez & Beradi a good send off, would be good if they signed for Barnsley

A very respectable ninth place finish for the Mighty Leeds, finished above some decent clubs, notably Everton. Well done!

Looks like I have to wait until next year to see Brighton get relegated though.

More good news coming out of Elland road, Bielsa has agreed a new one year deal at the club. Official announcement later this week (y)

Never doubted him, he is a man of honour, he only signs single year contracts as it makes it easier should things go sour

Honestly thought he might have been tempted to move on. He's already stayed at Leeds longer than most other, if not all, previous posts and there's a couple of good ones going in Spain where he wouldn't need a translator.

He has found a position where he’s working for an honest board who really appreciate him, the players love him as do the fans, he got Leeds promoted, he got them a finish in the top half of the premier league, he has been promised players to enable him to push for European football, why would he leave?

He'll have Leeds finishing higher up the table next season, of that I am in no doubt.

I'd be happy with same position conceding fewer goals. Mind if we done that we'd be in Europe.

As the season progressed we learned to deal with set pieces, we learned patience & conceded fewer goals, don’t forget much of the season we had most of our defenders out injured.

Just watched the substitutions of Berardi & Hernandez, bloody emotional, fair play to the ref for allowing them to say their goodbyes.

Pow-Lo · 31/8/21

It looks like Daniel James is finally off to Leeds for £30 million. Can't say I'm surprised he's on his way out because I never thought he fitted at United (and that's only my opinion, not one of expert knowledge).

Knowing the love Leeds and Manchester United have for each other, I wonder how well this move is going down amongst the Leeds fans?

Dezza, over to you...................

derek kelly · 31/8/21

The move is being received really well, fans can see his potential & knowing Bielsa’s reputation for getting the best from his players bodes well.

andyBeaker · 31/8/21

I always felt James needed a loan move away from United to get game time under his belt. Physically he is much stronger now than when we signed him and he gives 100% every time he pulls a red shirt on, works his nuts off doing the defensive stuff.

Undoubted talent but frustrates a lot of the time with poor decision making. Puts in wicked crosses with his left foot.

Think he is doing the right thing moving on, can’t really see him establishing himself as a regular at United.

Good luck to the lad.

derek kelly · 31/8/21

I can see him being a regular on the right wing with Raphina & Bamford benefitting from his crosses. Wow, just thinking of the options it potentially gives us, Bamford & Raphina up front with crosses coming from James, Harrison, Dallas, Ayling, all of whom are potential goal scorers.

Should hopefully contribute to an upturn in Leeds' fortunes as they haven't had the best of starts. With Bielsa coaching him, he could go on to become a great player which, as a fan of Wales as well as Cardiff City, is in my interests.

Anyone want to bet United try and buy him back in about three years for three times the price they're selling him for?

derek kelly · 31/8/21

It would be funny if Ronaldo flopped & upset the dressing room.

I can categorically say if there isn’t a buy back clause (which their probably will be) then there will be a sell on clause. Standard practice.
