I'd keep Bruce as well. He has age on his side & can only develop. AOB's days are surely numbered. Bromby is also worth keeping, given that he can play RB as well as CB. Paynter has to go out on loan asap to get game time & show why we should keep him. Once fit again, Parker also needs to go out on loan to show why he should be retained for next season. Would also be good to see Charlie Taylor & our crop of youngsters who may be pushing for starting places also sent out on loan to league 2 sides to help them continue to develop. Pugh is a done deal, & we should also get Keogh. Other than that, can't see too many more incomings to be honest.
It'd be nice to see a decent left back brought in. I know White is doing exceptionally well there, but it'd be nice to have the added option of moving White up to the left wing and having that pace and attacking threat. Don't get me wrong, I highly rate Pugh. But attacking flexibility should always be our priority.
Fair point Marko. I wonder how the team would fair if Pugh & White swapped occasionally. That said, the arrival of Pugh has given the team some balance & it allows White to bomb on from time to time knowing he's got natural cover. If we had the money & was a realistic option, who would we get as competition for White at LB?
This is what I'm talking about, Pugh has given us some more flexibility down the left wing, allowing White to steam forward at 1000 mph. I've enjoyed seeing White bombing forward like an unstoppable machine. I'm guessing Pugh can play the left back position and swapping them would work perfectly without any hiccups, but other than those 2 we have noone who can play down that side - so one more decent left back would be a great addition - infact, a quality left winger would also be a quality addition. Off the top of my head I seriously haven't a clue. I wanted Eric Lichaj - despite being right footed he looked so natural in that position, but he broke into the Villa first team and we were left disappointed. I can't think of any left backs who've successfully kept Snodgrass quiet this season so as such I don't really know who I'd get. Haven't seen many players outside of Leeds.
I don't rate parker at all. He's too injury prone. He's not managed more than 1 or 2 games without getting injured. It's pathetic that he hasn't been released.
Cheers for link Elland but much the same that ive found...some of these hotels are well out the league of the humble footie supporter though. Ave got Normy on the case now just waiting to hear back from him....Cheers Pags my Faaaaaaaaavourite yorkshire rose
Point noted on Parker Marko. I think he will have to go out on loan to show that he has a future as a footballer, never mind at Leeds. You're right, he's very injury prone. He really needs to front up. Its a softer game now than it used to be. So the Management team will have to do something to help him. When fit, he's not bad. Its just that over the past 5 yrs, he's rarely been fit for much of the season.
Quiet in the cheap seats Pags.... if not, turn up on time & steer the debate to things more friskey, even if its not Friday already.
I remember 2/3 years ago, Parker was supposed to be the next big thing, he's been out most of the time since then, injured. Should he get released?
Not yet Elland. Best to send him out on loan first. If he braks down again, then yes get rid once he's back on his feat. Not nice I know, but at what point do you decide enough is enough?
Still a set of boring ****s . Plus I’ve had other things on my mind than whether a group of blokes have got enough “frisk” in there lives. MAC threads were never solely about the football. It was sometimes on topic but a way for a load of people to communicate with each other. Its quietened down a bit at the moment but that happens.
Jeez Pags you aint far wrong girl.. Has gone quiet every where on the boards..Even Loaded seems like a grave yard these days except for match day.. Could do with some one like you on there to liven things up . "no that werent a pop at anyone"
Fair enough, send him out on loan, if he breaks down again, shoot him. (If that's not incentive, I don't know what is) Boring.... I'm not boring. When you lot are down for the next Saints game, we'll all go out the night before (and I'll show Pags how to Party).
If were struggling for a right sided midder, just put keogh out on the right and bring in becchio for the un-finnish-ed article! Or edge ya bets on forsell starting and banging 1 in!!
Darling, you don’t need to show me how to party. I can drinks most blokes under the table easily I don’t go down south often…much prefer it up here, drinks are cheaper and I don’t feel looked down upon as much
