[LU] Another move to please Rich W

[nat...@sky.com]

Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP   15 hrs15 hours ago Also being told that Luke Murphy is 
in advanced talks about extending his contract. Current deal runs to 2016, 
expected to sign to 2018.
Cardiff fans seems upset at Adeyemi being allowed to leave and come to us, that 
is generally a good sign. Looking at transfers it appears we have got rid of 
Austin aged 30 and replaced him with a 23 yr old, and will be losing Sharp aged 
30 and his replacement (Wood) is 23. So the average age of ,what was already a 
young team, is getting younger.

Age can be a bit misleading. Better to have a 21 year old with over 100
matches under his belt (like Byram) than some 23-24 year old who has only
played 50 senior matches due to being down the pecking order at his club.
In midfield, we have plenty of youth, but Murphy is a good age with over
200 matches, Mowatt has 2 solid seasons under his belt, Cook just seems a
naturally mature footballer and this new lad seems a very smart young man.
If you've got a mature yet youthful midfield the need for an older head in
there can be over-rated.

In this respect I always found it a shame we couldn't keep hold of and
develop Lees further - he wasn't perfect, but he'd played an awful lot of
football at a young age for a centre back.

We still lack a wide right and a wide left option and I would also like to
see a new centre-back partner for Bamba. Of those suspect the only one we
will see is a wide left player.

Tom Lees "wasnt perfect"? Come on mate he was shocking for us!
Nothing against the lad, and pleased he is doing well elsewhere, but he was 
very poor for us. I agree we also need a central half because Cooper & Wootton 
are not the answer. Disappointed we let Del Fabrio go because he never got a 
kick.
Still think we need an older head in midfield and a pacey winger although Ajosi 
should be given a chance.

Re: [LU] Another move to please Rich W

[David W]

I'd agree Lees had a stinking final season for us - and can't blame the
club for letting him go on that basis - but he had looked promising before
that as a solid, if unexciting, centre back. Not saying top class but there
was something there and it's a big plus when a lad at his age has had
several years of first team experience under his belt. Maybe a Bamba-type
mentor figure at the club might have helped (that has to be the hope with
Cooper). Not worth dwelling now though. Can't win them all.

I doubt Ajose is up to it at this level, though we had very limited chance
to assess that last season.

Re: [LU] Another move to please Rich W

Fair point about Lees not having a mentor figure. From what I have seen from 
Wednesday's games he still lacks presence, turns like milk and cannot read the 
game.

I'm probably clutching at straws with Ajosi. My niece's partner watches Crewe 
and positively raves about him.

[LU] Yorkshire help

[[broken-address] Nicholas Armit]

Mentioned a while back about trying to make it over from the US in November to 
attend a game and now have other ideas and questions.
I am coming with my 13 year old son and we intend staying in Leeds the night of 
the game. Then we would like to go somewhere walking the next day with an 
overnight stay at a country pub somewhere then back to Leeds the next day to 
get back to London. All this will need to be accessible by public transport as 
we will not have a car. 
So my questions:
   
   - Any recommendations of somewhere to go walking in the countryside 
relatively close to Leeds (maybe no more than an hour away) where we could then 
finish off at somewhere we could spend the night? The Dales look close but not 
sure if that would be the best place.
   - Would really like to overnight in a pub in the country somewhere. Any 
recommendations for a moderate budget? Would really like something traditional.
   - How to get the best (cheapest) tickets to travel from London to Leeds the 
morning of the game? This will be November 21st (Rotherham I believe).
Many thanks for any help.

Nick,

For my money I would go for a train in and out of Leeds to somewhere 
like Settle and then check out the local spots there for accommodation 
(the Lion is one of our favourites http://thelionsettle.co.uk/rooms/).


Cheapest tickets to game will be from 
https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/ but tickets for your travel dates 
aren't announced yet as you can only book 12 weeks in advance on the 
line from London to Leeds.


Please ask any questions however daft you might think they are theres a 
lot of useful knowledge here :-)

Re: [LU] Yorkshire help

[Nick]

or go a couple of stops past Settle to Horton in Ribblesdale, Ribblehead or 
Dent - good walking - first two in reach of three peaks (don’t have to do all 3 
in one go) - decent boozers/B&Bs in Dent - couple of pubs in Horton as well…

alternatively, catch the train to Skipton, pick up the High Dales Way coming 
back south and you go through Ilkley and onto Saltaire (where you can have a 
real ale in Fannys and a curry at the Aagrar) - Skipton to Saltaire is 18 miles 
good walking, or if you stop at Ilkley that’s about 10 miles - both Saltaire 
and Ilkley are on the train line back to Leeds…

many choices…your biggest problem for walking in Yorkshire might be that you’re 
here in November…can be bleak...

Dent - good walking - first two in reach of three peaks (don’t have to do all 3 
in one go) - decent boozers/B&Bs in Dent - couple of pubs in Horton as well…

alternatively, catch the train to Skipton, pick up the High Dales Way coming 
back south and you go through Ilkley and onto Saltaire (where you can have a 
real ale in Fannys and a curry at the Aagrar) - Skipton to Saltaire is 18 miles 
good walking, or if you stop at Ilkley that’s about 10 miles - both Saltaire 
and Ilkley are on the train line back to Leeds…

many choices…your biggest problem for walking in Yorkshire might be that you’re 
here in November…can be bleak...
