Think we start a Jack Harrison thread if not already done so? Lots of talk that he’s coming now.

Not sure anyone is excited enough about the signing

Can see why we’d be interested in Harrison. He’d slot in on the left side, is very hard working, athletic, bit of pace. I don’t think he’s particularly high quality, but honestly, our injuries are killing us. Unfortunately, we may have to settle with a couple of average players just to get through the bloody season.

If we can get him on loan for a season as a squad filler its a no brainer imo

We've had an incredible summer but have also lost two key players to ACLs in a week?

Can't be expected to bring in top level players for every transfer

Don't even waste your energy mate

Let’s just calm down for a minute.

It’s a terrible result against a marginally better side.

But if you’re Unai, what do you do?

He won't sleep tonight, 12 hours straight of replays i imagine

I think it's time for another survey.

That'll teach us for getting our hopes up

Home advantage is huge on the opening day

Especially against such an aggressive high press

Cash can go an all

Why does bailey play so **** shit away from home? Im inclined to get JPB on for him

couldve finished it there 

Man city may do us a favour with a loan-to-buy deal too, not like they need the cash

Get bailey off immediately, absolutely useless

No Foyth to Barca by the looks of it

I think this is massively discrediting Chelsea and their players, scouting, manager and coaching staff due to an absolute write off of a season last time out. Half that team, the coaches and manager knew they weren't going to be there in a few months. Lampard has been open about finding it impossible to motivate the players. It was a similar rerun of Rangnick the season before. When the people in charge and the people on the pitch have no skin in the game and don't have to face the consequences of how the season pans out, you're going to lose a lot at an elite level. 

The difference between us and them is that a lot of their squad are unknown quantities still now. On their day though, some of those players could be absolute stars and so it's how quickly Poch can get them ticking over, if they're spluttering for too long at the start of the season confidence could drain and that young squad could find it difficult to keep a clear frame of mind. 

I'd say to answer this I have no idea who could get in our team because I don't know any of their qualities enough. Nice boring response. 

I could definitely make a long list of players they have that I'd like / have liked us to sign though, given the opportunity and budget.

Leeds fans also thought Pablo Hernandez was better than Jack Grealish, so yeah, take whatever anyone of them posts with a huge pinch of salt. 

Beat me to it

You would believe any nonsense you read wouldn't you. You believe everything you read on your daily mail headlines I'd say. Well someone wrote it in text so it must be true. 

Especially as it’s written by a Leeds fan

And there’s zero chance Leeds fans are twisting this to suit their narrative about Gnonto I’m sure…

Release clause of 40m euros until the last week of august for Foyth apparently

DAZN linking us with Foyth…

This guy has called a number of things correctly this summer. Seems he has a contact at the club.

Maybe I am seeing patterns where they don't exist, but when 'freak' occurances happen often enough they become a pattern.

Isn't the point of the sport science side of the medical department to look at player work loads and adjust accordingly to reduce injury risk? I would hate to think what our injury list would look like if this is the system working.

Honestly, the fact that an injury like this seems to happen to us every season makes me really question what the hell our medical department is doing.

If someone injured you in a sunday league game you would blame the doctor would you?

Wonder if we are looking into reuniting Dybala and Zaniolo at all
