[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

[albionalex]

There's talk of them going after Rob Holding from Arsenal, as well as Koch from Germany.

Which brings about the enticing possibility of some glorious old school Test Match Special commentary moments.

I'm not even an Arsenal fan but I will drive Holding there myself.

Inexplicable how he's been at Arsenal that long. Then again, they employ David Luiz. I don't want to come over all The Leeds United here, but every single one of our many centre halves is better than David Luiz and Mustafi, and I pretty much include 17yr old Haydon Roberts in that.

I must admit: I'm hoping that was a typo, and he meant to write "folk".

If there is an alternative interpretation, it's not a nice one.

Cooper - Holding - Koch

It’s probably too early to say as it depends if they can pull a couple of transfer rabbits out of the hat. The issue they have is without white they are weaker at the back and you look at their front line and where are the goals going to come from?

In normal circumstances you could see a full Elland road and the momentum of promotion getting them off to a decent start but that is off the table this season. Add to that how short the turnaround has been this season and their struggles in the transfer market leaving them short this close to the start and I honestly think they are down.

Securing some quality this week and getting Bielsas contract over the line is huge for them otherwise I think they lack the quality and depth to survive in a league as unforgiving as this one.j

Hmnnn.... not sure I follow you on that one. They're both men with hair, but after that, I fail to see many similarities!

This Brian Cox... And well you know it!

I also think Leeds will stay up, for all our fun right now, Bielsa is a good coach and whilst their fans might be banging on about their amazing style of play and how they're going to smash the Prem , Bielsa won't be an idiot like all of them.

I reckon he'll have a similar season to Newcastle under Benitez, a world-renowned manager keeping a largely championship squad in the Prem with relative ease, playing pragmatic football at odds with their promotion style and finishing lower mid table.

I just don’t see them having enough quality a couple of injuries to key players and they are buggered

TOP SIX, ladies & gentlemen.

Stone me. They've escaped from somewhere haven't they? Just what would it take for them to begrudgingly move on?

I think you’re right. Same way that Hughton was sensible enough to know that the way we got promoted wasn’t the best way to accumulate enough points in our first season.

The backlash starts, well sort of.

They still doing on to the fact that his account has not been updated, It still says on loan.

What a bunch of absolute dicktards.

The WACCOE Ben White thread is now locked - so perhaps their delusion over one player is finally abating.

Looking forward to seeing how they fare in the PL. Depending on the result of the first game, it's possible they'll beat our record for consecutive minutes in the bottom three right off the bat.

If Liverpool fans came on here and said they'd be challenging to win the league - they wouldn't be deluded
If Liverpool fans came on here and said they'd be challenging for Europe - they wouldn't be deluded
If Liverpool fans came on here and said that Ben White is good enough to play for them - they wouldn't be deluded

It's the fact that fans of a team, that's spent the last 16 years outside the PL, that says these things that makes them deluded

To be fair I honestly think Leeds will have a great season and finish about 18th, so well done to them

Have to admit, like Zamora said, I thought you meant the physicist. I don't know who the Brian Cox you meant is.

He's been in a couple of films :

I'm not much of a film buff, and the only film in that list I have seen is Braveheart and that was complete rubbish in my opinion. Anyway, yeah, he's a very successful actor, one learns something new every day.

Meanwhile over in la la land its still all Ben White on their main transfer thread.

Confusion over how Brighton are deemed a direct rival to a team gunning for the European spots in their first season back

View attachment 127622

Meanwhile Brighton reiterating for the 1000th time, our consistent not for sale at any price message......... Is showing us up to be small time, and just so you know, It's Brighton that have "had a mare" with the Ben white saga

View attachment 127623

Meanwhile, a plot is hatched, its a good one....... as they were obviously always going to get Ben White, the lad is crying in his desperation to join and having been flatly refused a move by his parent club to a direct rival at every turn, a cunning plan, as cunning as a fox who's been appointed professor of cunning is hatched, they now have formulated the way to circumvent Brighton and trick Bloom by first selling to an intermediary.... Gotta love a trier.

Pity he's not still around, but I reckon Clive Dunn could have done a good job as Bucketman.
