I think some numbers have simply become somewhat iconic (particularly 9 and 10, and to a lesser extent 6) in the way they are used so they continue to be mainstream parlance even as roles have evolved.

I was trying to put together a starting 11 for Barnsley without using the starting 11 versus Chelsea. The area which I thought was most difficult was the CBs with Cooper and Ayling injured. We talk about striker and LB, but if Llorente or Koch pick up an injury we are exposed. I think letting Cress...

Christian Pulisic from Chelsea is a name that's popped up a few times lately. Chelsea have said they won't lend him to "the Manchester side" (with some weird rumours of him being involved in a swap deal with Harry Maguire). It looks like they want to sell him if anything. Pulisic looks go...

I couldn’t find one encouraging MLS transfer. Most marquee moves are keepers which I think we can agree are if a different variety than an outfield player. As others have stated, the Bundeskiga tax is a colloquialism for the idea that players moving to the Prem get worse generally because the Prem i...

As an avid fan of the MLS, I'm not sure what to think of the connection with Leeds. The league is growing rapidly and the quality has improved dramatically, but I'm uncertain as to how well a recruitment strategy comprised primarily of his former charges and players from his most familiar league (a...

He's actually a really strong profile for his given his pace and the fact that he doesn't just play 9. We need someone who can play 9 or 10, and maybe even one of 7/11. It's the only way this signing would get playing time in a healthy squad scenario. That's why this is so difficult - they don't wan...

Two days after our game with Chelsea too, don’t love that.

Quite a few outlets reporting we have made a move for £6mil rated Ecuador and Los Angeles FC midfielder Jose Cifuentes. Possible replacement for Klich if he goes. Zero chance they sell him in the middle of a title hunt when they can just sell him in January at a potentially inflated rate if he does...

Final Position: 12th
Star: Bamford and Roca
Top Scorer: Bamford
Hopes: Marschball works
Fear: Adams and Aaronson get the Leeds curse of injury

Our press looks worlds better than last year. That alone will shave 10 goals off the totals. We’re going to pick on other lower end teams.
