Tipps69 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 We were after him when he was at PSG & he chose RB Leipzig. Does that mean we once showed ambition but aren’t now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly, it was around the time that we were also linked with Mousset who decided to join Bournemouth instead & is now at Sheffield Utd. K-J-A was a player that had come through the system at PSG but not had a look in (not unusual) but he chose to go to RB Leipzig instead of coming to us, he then moved on loan to Monaco this season.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 He's definitely got something- had a quick look at his record but I've heard reasonable things about him before. In 2017/18, he scored 9 goals and got 5 assists for Leipzig in the Bundesliga- 14 starts, 11 sub appearances, 2 goals in 6 CL starts and 2 goals 1 assist in Europa League- 4 starts, 2 sub appearances. About 1 in 2 when goals and assists extrapolated into one and that's even with a decent chunk being sub appearances! He also seems to have a good all-round game based on metrics- only 22 so his best years seem to be ahead of him. Possibly stalled a bit though, but on paper should be an upgrade on Bamford IMO. A statement of intent certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a goal in one of the top 4 leagues every 143 minutes as a 19 year old!!! He has been behind world class strikers these past 2 years. So your “appearances” stat include shedloads of sub appearances. We sign this guy, we’re flying up.

We bid for him years ago when he was at PSG, he chose RB Leipzig, it would of been when we just got back into the Championship so he would of been very young then. I’ve kept an eye on his moves & how he’s done in general but not on his actual performances as it seems highly unlikely that we’d get him any time in the future. But he doesn’t seem to of really pushed on with his career despite the moves he’s made. He could be the answer you’re looking for but I wouldn’t pin all my hopes on him, the Championship is a totally different league from what most have played in & a few of our foreign signings have commented about how much more difficult it is to adjust to, the physicality & the speed in particular.

It could also be argued, from an arrogance point of view, that you’ve only sold so many because it’s the mighty Bristol City that are coming to town?

You can't just discount 23,000 season ticket holders. They bought theirs before they went on sale online. 5,500 individual tickets sold this morning mainly at £39 (the price you'll be asked for but mainly won't pay I guess). One ticket per member. No multiple purchases at all. 1,300 left. This game won't get to general sale. It's not arrogance, but factual. Millwall went to general sale and sold out quickly after that and Wigan sold as quickly as your game has. Riding the wave for a while I guess. No-one can call us glory-hunters, after all.

The way your fellow Leeds fan worded things was like you’d just sold 34,000 tickets in half hour, when in essence you’ve sold 5,500 tickets as a top of the league team while playing the most entertaining football you’ve ever seen & for such a MASSIVE club, who are pushing the boat out for promotion, it honestly doesn’t sound that impressive!

But whatever gets you excited. I'm not excited, particularly. But I'm not sure how anyone can paint 23,000 people shelling out for 23 games in advance as some sort of way of diminishing what is a pretty rapid sale of tickets on the first morning of sales for a club where it's virtually impossible to buy a ticket without being a member (£50 and capped at 25,000 in addition to the ST holders) and it's one ticket per member.

You said that 5,500 tickets went on sale this morning of which 1,500 are still available. So similarly we have over 16,000 season ticket holders and get about 22,000-23,000 attendances, seems like we’re selling roughly the same amount of tickets to non season ticket holders while we’re playing possibly the worst football in years while being 9th in the table!

Doesn't sound quite so impressive now, does it? Dear God. Ain't this the internet at its worst? Presumably if we'd had 34,000 ST holders we'd have been shit fans because we wouldn't have sold any tickets to match by match purchasers. Apart from the patently ludicrous nature of your point I really don't care. As for Augustin I admit that this time on Saturday I hadn't heard of him, so I can't in all honesty go down the line of saying that he's 'the difference'. The structural issues of the rest of the squad are there to see when all we have to cover Kalvin Phillips for three games is a centre half. I'm more immediately interested in the signing of Poveda. Looks like a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
