General Chat • The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wed 16th Jan)
According to Sky Sports journalist, Tim Thornton, Leeds United are keeping an eye on Bristol City winger Callum O’Dowda as Marcelo Bielsa is looking to bolster his attacking options.
This was also confirmed by Phil Hay!
When a fan asked him about the veracity of the news, Hay responded by saying ‘yes’. However, he added that Swansea City winger Daniel James remains the first priority target for the Yorkshire club.
Kiko Casilla has arrived in Leeds and will undertake a medical this afternoon.
The 32 yo shot stopper had 18 months left on his contract at the Bernabeu which Leeds have bought out.
This equates to £50,000 a week.
Should Casilla start against Stoke at the weekend or should he prove himself first?
Stuart Pearce has told Sky Sports that the scoreline v Derby should be reversed due to spygate!
Talking on The Debate show on Sky Sports, Pearce said he would reverse the 2-0 scoreline.
“If it was me, the only team that’s been affected by this is Derby, I’d reverse the scoreline,” Pearce said.
“I like let the punishment fit the crime. That statement fits this perfectly. If you sent someone all the way down to stand outside Derby and then after the game you said, yes I sent him down, well okay, you won 2-0 at derby, it affected Derby, it’s not in the spirit of the game.”
Pearce was then asked if he honestly believed that the game and the result was down to the “man in the bushes”. “No, not at all,” he replied.
