Couple of signings being announced in the next week or so.
Thelwell straight to work, plenty still to do.
05 Jun 2025 18:03:17
You think?
05 Jun 2025 18:05:24
Darling to be one of the first?
05 Jun 2025 18:09:58
Cheers for info CF5.
05 Jun 2025 18:11:09
Copland I've heard three bosmans before trining starts on 23/ 6.
05 Jun 2025 18:13:38
Going to need to act fast to find players to fit his system as only a few weeks till qualifying starts.
05 Jun 2025 18:17:12
Good update my friend.
05 Jun 2025 18:19:13
Cheers Copland, hopefully the guys will be a bit more positive after this.
05 Jun 2025 18:22:49
Kaiser the players are picked to fit the club's system and the manager was chosen to fit that same system. so players will have been identified before manager chosen possibly.
05 Jun 2025 18:53:15
Hopefully 1 is the RB from Southampton as think he would be a massive upgrade on Tav.
05 Jun 2025 19:03:08
They'd have to be scottish then john as European deals don't expire until 30/ 06/ 25.
05 Jun 2025 19:15:16
Two r one is not.
05 Jun 2025 19:17:36
Struth bosmans can be agreed anytime after january.
05 Jun 2025 19:28:41
Truth boat if their bowman's they can sign within 6 month of contract expiring. May not join until after.
05 Jun 2025 19:36:01
Bellshill be surprised if it was Walker-Peter he'll easily get into a team like westham for double/ triple of what we can offer.
05 Jun 2025 19:44:07
Yes davie but the contracts don't expire until the 30th of June, you must mean they can talk with other clubs 6 months before, Muscat he's correct in what he's saying players are contracted until the 30th of June, shouldn't be a problem if Rangers get permission for them turning up on the 23rd.
05 Jun 2025 19:47:51
Yes muscatin they can agree them but they can't join.
05 Jun 2025 20:03:31
Kaiser its like 7nweeks till qualifying.
05 Jun 2025 20:06:21
Muscat. Ny understands but.
05 Jun 2025 20:15:24
I don't think the challenge will be finding players to fit our 'system' - it'll be getting players to the required mental and physical levels to meet our demands that will be the challenge.
05 Jun 2025 20:24:44
My star I believe John said 3 bowman signing before training. Never said going the sqaud then. May just be signed then will join after the 30th.
05 Jun 2025 20:30:07
Was interested when Martin said about playing a pressing game and wondered how we would manage as have felt that we haven't been able to keep pressing. Interested to hear from EHL how long to get players physically able to play high press.
05 Jun 2025 20:35:13
Iam guessing 4 in by the end of June, as good a guess as any.
05 Jun 2025 20:38:21
EHL physical might be easier and good to see Martin got to bring his performance coach with him. mental toughness possibly more difficult. Does the new regime remove the ability for the same players to not give everything which I think you alluded to last season or at least some of them. sorry might be phrasing what was said wrong.
05 Jun 2025 20:44:49
Shanksi, the challenge we've faced around implementing a pressing game is that to press you need the opposition to play possession based football.
Will be interesting to see how we adapt the approach to suit our league.
05 Jun 2025 20:47:36
Davie ok mate i just thought he meant them in for the 23rd.
05 Jun 2025 20:50:45
Angus, a lot being done within the club around mentality - and we have some very good people involved!
05 Jun 2025 20:57:52
John probably a stupid question but does the 3 include Cameron or is 3 plus Cameron?
05 Jun 2025 21:01:49
Thanks EHL hadn't thought about it that way.
05 Jun 2025 21:49:30
John - if you are saying two of the bosmans are Scottish then both names have been previously posted on this site on a few occasions.
Might be totally wrong but you never know.
05 Jun 2025 22:00:17
Thanks EHL
oh for others it seems if the player is OOC they can leave and sign a pre-contract for another club and then leave their contract early by mutual agreement between the player and the original club. so sign for us and their old club agrees they can start before 30th June. might not have explained it well but makes sense as I write it.
05 Jun 2025 22:42:01
One major flaw in people logic here they are assuming the bosmans are just running down contract when there is nothing to say they are not already out of contract or have been for a while and in that case you can sign them anytime work law trumps all if someone unemployed and not earning can't stop them signing or training
Mystar is technically correct but he's assuming a lot about how and when players signinb were out of contract.
05 Jun 2025 22:50:55
A player who's contract is up on the 30th of June isn't unemployed though are they?
05 Jun 2025 23:41:47
You must be talking about free agents.
05 Jun 2025 23:04:12
G4 yes.
06 Jun 2025 02:02:30
EHL that is why i wanted Farioli his tactics are superb
And the way his teams dismantle the low block is excellent, with inferior squads and little to no budgets at either Nice or Ajax he still had the best defences in those leagues and beat the best teams in either league home amd away, and he had his teams playing excellent football not long after joining, and has plenty european competition experience, i think Inter Milan are looking at him now.
With the right squad and budget only a matter of time before he takes a major title / trophy
De zerbi did indeed create a tactical Monster in Farioli,
I think the scottish league would have been an eaay title for him in his first season, especially with the raw young talent koppen would have brought in, and we would have some rising stars moving on for big money.
But the board have a different vision now, bare in mind fellow just because leeds have been a success, doesn't guarantee we will be, but i genuinely hope we will rise to our best again.
06 Jun 2025 07:33:32
Farioli wasn't available during our recruitment process LaudrupHagi.
