(Tim Parks). Pretty sure it was their arsehole fans that were looking for bother at the San Siro. They started off in the home areas looking for local casuals and got punted into the empty space under our 'curva'. Then started giving it the throat-slitting and come ahead stuff to 18000 TA 😂. Horrid far-right scumbags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basket case of a club. Been in the championship for 15 odd years now. Seems like they've had about 15 odd mangers in that time to. Suppose of wolves have said they don't fancy him/limited game time what can you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a left wing back last season and possibly the only Scotsman playing at reasonable level in that position. probably why we play 3-5-2 Think Leeds have a bit of money so good business for them I would think.

macy37 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Player of season last year but wolves stepppng up and signing players who are apparently demanding first team games so Douglas been told he can leave. Leeds have little money. Whoever said that is lying. They’ll be exactly same as last year....at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their player of the year and got into the championship team of the season. Crazy stuff and he can surely play at a better level. Strikes me as a club that will implode.

GlasWolf Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Disbelief and disappointment among Wolves fans about Barry Douglas being moved on. He wasn't player of the season (Neves was), but he was our regular left wing back in a 3-4-3. Never found wanting in defence, great stamina and contributed 14 assists, mainly from set pieces. Deserved a crack at the Prem, and even at £5m he'd be a cracking buy for Leeds if it goes through. No room for sentiment at Molineux nowadays...

borojock Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 was really looking forward to seeing how Douglas would have performed but if they have brought in a couple of direct replacements for him its better he plays regular football in the championship then sat on the bench in the PL all season I'm surprised more clubs haven't come in for him if its known hes available now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves (as well as Fulham) have been splashing some amount of cash this summer (certainly close to, if not over £40m) as well as a couple of high profile loan players, so can understand why a £5 offer would tempt them.

Not a chance this season unless a good few signings magically happen and they won’t. They've already made 3 very good signings, with Bamford set to be announced this week. Radrizzani is a very switched on and considerably wealthy owner who has set about changing the whole structure of the Club. Convincing Bielsa to become head coach is some coup. One thing that Leeds have been doing very well recently in comparison with a lot of other Championship clubs is managing budgets. The wages to turnover % is one of the lowest in the league. A centre half is an absolute necessity though, no team that has to play Liam Cooper will get anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree... international football is a joke. If this lad ends up an England player I am on the verge of packing up international football as it’s becoming meaningless. He has grown up in Scotland, no doubt supported Scotland all his days, used all our facilities... and just cos he turns out to be quite good can decide he will play for England? Well.... your either with us or against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Has he grown up in Scotland all his days? Given that he's turning out for them, I would say he feels pretty indifferent to Scotland. I.e. Doesn't really care one way or the other. If he decides he's English then good luck to him. The rules are bolloks to be fair. The grandparent rule should be scrapped as well and players should declare when they turn 18 etc etc...but what do we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
