Cook - Is History Repeating Itself?

6/11/2015

 
Picture
I was informed of some shocking news this evening that if proves true, will almost take a big part of my love for Leeds United away. 

News has broke that Lewis Cook could be on his way out of Elland Road and if that isn't bad news enough, it could be straight over Pennines to them shysters in Red. 

Losing Cook like any other youth product that is currently starring for our side would be an extremely bitter pill to swallow, but the ways and means of his transfer out of the club would cause anarchy and I for one would be lighting the wood and sharpening the pitchforks. 

I'm not one to listen to hearsay and speculation when it comes to Leeds United transfers, we've signed Smith, Beckford et Al about 1 million times over the past years if you take any notice. But being informed from more than one trustable source like www.transferrumours.co.uk means that this whisper could be true and I'm furious. 

Simply put, Lewis Cook is one of the best midfielders in the Championship and could even be the main attraction for plenty of Premier League sides and to lose that type of player from our side would be a travesty. 

If you've started reading this and think it's a load of crap then here's two names for you; Jonny Howson and Fabian Delph. Both exceedingly good midfielder, both products of our academy and both flogged by a greedy fat owner that didn't give a fuck about the club. 

Yes Delph is different, he wanted to leave and saw Premiership football as his golden ticket to step up his career and we did get a nice East Stand from him, trust me the trio of chicken is to die for! 

As for Howson, he was flogged by Bates to the first bidder for a few silver coins. The story goes that Howson did not want to leave the club and was practically forced out by Bates. Then left back Ben Parker opened up in the centenary lounge to fans about the shocking revelations only for current rent-a-gob Peter Lorimer to lambast him for his claims and belittle the recovering defender in front of a ton of people. To anyone who is offended by my comments on Lorimer, I will not discredit his wonderful career at Leeds, but I will not listen to a man who cashes his cheques from the owner and calls the fans a problem. 

So there are two players who've been shoved out of Leeds rather hastily for a quick buck and now on to another we could lose on the cheap, apparently a release clause of £5million is what Cook currently possesses in his contract. 

£5million for a player that will definitely feature in an England shirt within the next 4 years, it's a joke. It's beyond a joke, the club are pissing on us and not even having the decency to call it rain!

Now on to why this could be true. Has anyone else noticed the current owner at Leeds United is feeling a little unsettled and is set to allow a buyout in the new future? Well what's easier than leaving the club with an extra £5million in your pocket? Nothing to be frank. 

I have to admit that I sincerely hope that this is nothing but hearsay, but just in case it isn't then you need to know that we could lose Cook and in the same foul swoop, could lose all the hope that we were currently clutching to with baited breath. 

It's come to a point where we need to stand up against this and not allow for owners to flog our assets for personal gain. It's the same deals and same people that are hindering the club progressing and enough is enough. Let's not lose another beautiful talent from our club. 

And if you don't believe me, that's completely your choice. Come January or Summer if he's gone I just hope your by my side fighting for the good of the club.

That is totally true I agree with you 100% just fed with so called chairmen flogging our assets. But with Cellino even he doesn't know what he's going to do next.

It is urgent to rid Leeds Utd. of Massimo Cellino that is slowly destroying the Club. Call for his head at every game until he give up and leave. He is just cancer that will only get worse. Not a word he say is true and his mental health is very pour.

Let him go if he wants. He's good, but he'll go into Man U's reserves for the next 3 or 4 years. Meanwhile we just replace him with an older matured player. I think too much store is put by him.

Why is it that we have so many retards replying that obviously never spent enough time at school to put together an intelligible sentence.
As for Cook being sold, so what, it's a team sport, if he wants to leave then good riddance
A new owner with cash to splash is all we need, I don't care if we buy the premiership title just as long as the history books show the winners as Leeds Utd, no one cares.

Its you stupid fans that are killing the club . Cellino is a good man , a bit mental but you would have to be to own leeds. The football league keep hounding cellino because they want to keep the cash cow leeds exactly where they are, they know if they muddy cellinos name the thick leeds fans will turn on him and hound him out ..causing mass hysteria and confusion and unsettling times which will only ever keep leeds in the football league clutches . How can we ever expect promotion if all we do is infight and hound good people out of the club. Cellino has money , leeds fans dont...and nobody else with money is going to buy leeds...cellino is our best chance , sing that you want him back..love his flaws as much as his good bits and we will be promoted
.if we keep fighting with everything and everyone then its football league forever im afraid....admit your wrong and support cellino!
