Coupled with what SG said, here's this from DC on twitter: Duncan Castles @DuncanCastles Duncan Castles Leeds United agree £500k deal for Danny Pugh. Will play last game for Stoke on Tuesday before joining on loan initially. #lufc #scfc
Can't see us paying for Pugh, however I do think he will be back with us next week on a season long loan.
Hopefully this happens. We need a left sided player who can play left mid or leftback, so he'd be a good signing.
i dont think we will buy him but thats not because of the price, we have the money to spend just dont think hes worth it and to be honest i think we could do a lot better.
So where does Pugh slot in? Will he be played at left back with White pushed into Left wing (where Grayson sees him?) or will Pugh play in a more advanced role? Will White be dropped altogether? (shocking if he does) I like Pugh, but he is no replacement for Gradel & I would like to see Sam get some more game time.
I questioned this possible signing a few days ago myself. We seem to have far too many 'utility' type players for my liking. Nunez left or center, O'Dea left or center, Lees right or center, White left defence or left midfield???? I agree every club needs to have a couple of players who can 'help out' when a position needs filling due to an injury or a suspension. I have a feeling Grayson sees McCormack as his left sided player with Becchio and Forrsell in attack.
