They cant be any worse than the current crop and hopefully they will be a lot better so they will do well in the premier league as an when we get their.

I think Massimo and Nicola are going to need to look to the British leagues to find our pacey wingers, Italians aren't exactly renowned for their pace - shown by their struggle with Sterling, Welbeck and Sturridge's.

I don't get the whole British player / manager thing.

If your good enough it doesn't matter what nationality etc you are.

Anyone that can bring a bit of quality and passion.

Watching that Brazil-Chile game was awesome. Players putting bodies on the line to win.

I haven't seen a Leeds side do that for a long time. I would love to see that soon.

To see a team fighting for the cause, rolling the sleeves up and getting stuck in. That's all we ask.

Since Grayson left Leeds I have failed to see a Leeds side do this.

Under Warnock, we were direct, predictable but we did have a bit of bite, under McDermott we were unfit, too nice and lacked any sort of commitment.

I wonder what the players think about the new gaffer.

We need British players to fill the homegrown quota.

I'd say we need 1 or 2 quality experienced players to help the younger players.

The quality of Max Gradel or Luciano Becchio not Ramon Nunez and Robbie Rogers. :thumbup:
Ahem.

I'll remind you that we have had plenty of crap footballers from other countries besides mine.
