Hard to disagree with any of that. Slightly weird article here and elsewhere, I assume
Maybe some is lost in translation but the thought that he thinks himself premier league is laughable https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/09/pontus-jansson-leeds-needed-money-brentford-bielsa-language -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> On Behalf Of Richard Walker via Leedslist Sent: 09 July 2019 17:29 To: Leeds List <leedslist@gn.apc.org>; Robert Heath <heathpalai...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [LU] Pontus Jansson's tragic I thought Jansson was a revelation when he arrived at Leeds and that season under Monk he and Bartley sorted out our defence which had been a problem for years that nobody had resolved. I liked the fact we just said to Pontus you just attack the ball and clear it. It worked. Since then it's been up and down for him. I still think he's our best defender but he's fragile and for a hard man he makes a real meal of his injuries. At times he is embarrassing, one minute nearly dead, the next up and at them. I think it was a massive mistake to put him on the bench against Derby in the play-offs in preference to Cooper and Beradi. Whether it would have changed the result I don't know but Cooper and Beradi (and Casilla) were a mess for that match. It's obvious that Pontus is his own man and does things that annoys others and you can see Bielsa not liking that so it's no surprise that he's been moved on. I think it's a decent price because I think Jansson's fitness and injuries will become more of a problem. The obvious worry is where is the replacement ? We wait for news of transfers in but why do I think they might not be any. Just announcement of contract renewals.

I was never quite taken in by his self-publicity, and I can easily imagine that he could be a disruptive influence behind the scenes. I really hope that part of letting him go is that they reckon Strujik is ready to step in. On another note, though, I find it extremely vexing to learn that the top 2 earners at the club (with whom Phillips quite justifiably wants parity) are Casillas and Bamford on 30 k per week. I'd happily see either of them sent out the door and have their wages switched to KP. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
