For many American soccer fans, Leeds is our weekly must-watch EPL team. Not for the history, passion, or culture, but simply pride in the 🇺🇸⚽️ connection. That's the attraction and what is being sold. If that changes, maybe some will stay, but many of us will look elsewhere.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC I think we’ll have a #GlazersOutNOW situation on our hands in the not too distant future. These players are just a way of selling shirts stateside. Aaronson’s not up to it; Adams is a card magnet with a bit of skill; McKennie could be alright but unproven. #Marsch ? A dead loss.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC So if the same Americans are Leeds fans when there haven't been American players for years, are they real fans in your eyes?

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Being Leeds is in your heart wherever you are in the world, if it isn‘t then you aren‘t Leeds, it is that simple, we will welcome any new fans but Leeds is for life not just the length of a certain players contract.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC You get him told Tony. You don’t do Leeds half arsed. You’re either in, or you’re not. Being Leeds isn’t for the half committed, transactional ’fan’.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Leeds is something deep in your soul, for most Leeds fans elland road is their church. My dad was Leeds, I am Leeds and now my daughter is Leeds her first nursery rhyme was Marching on Together we sing it everyday and she kisses the badge if she sees it. Regardless of performance

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Well said Tony, spot on MOT

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Very well put Tony👍

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Well said Tony 🦾🦾⚽️

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Football is not in 🇺🇲 culture, they don't get it. Its pointless explaining to people like @AlexiLalas . They think the US connection is promoting our club, wrong. Leeds are promoting the US involvement in football. 👊

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Get him told Tony! LEEDS UNITED IS A COLOUR OF BLOOD THAT IS ON NO EXISTING SPECTRUM!!!!

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Mark Viduka was arguable the best player we have had in years.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC That is it tony being leeds is a way of life

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Well said Tony

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Yes Tony!!👏🏼💛💙

@tonydorigo @BakkeTheNet @AlexiLalas @LUFC Well said Tony. As @CrambazzledTask also made the point that when Bielsa took over he + S. American fans invested in our culture and history. There’s an underlying feeling of disposable commodities to Alexi’s tweet which says more about American culture than ours/anyone else’s

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Into him tony

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC The Americans that are following us because of American players coming to our club I get but they probably won’t know our history etc but they will soon get to know our passion and love for our players. If the American element takes us forward then they will be loved too. Mot 😁

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Some folk will never be Leeds, they can’t be Leeds, even if they wanted to … they don’t and can’t understand what it’s like being Leeds.

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Nail on the head @tonydorigo an ex player who gets it vs an ex player who only ever played a sanitised version of the sport. It’s what makes the EPL the envy of world sport. The part time tourist support can stick to MUFC, MCFC, LFC and the rest

@tonydorigo @AlexiLalas @LUFC Absolutely spot on Tony 👍
