    Being told that Adryan will be here by the weekend and Oscar Garcia already lined up to replace Hock as soon as he fails again. Wasn't Garcia the Gus replacement at Brighton and then went to the middle east?

    Apparently Leeds have paid Cagliari to end his contract with them. Deal is now simpler as Leeds just dealing with his parent club Flamenco. It will initially be a loan deal with optio to buy

    We are after an Argentinian winger called Lucas Castro. The 25 yo plays for Italian club Catania

    A winger would be very useful, but idn't we recruit a winger a couple of weeks ago and don't we have Poleon who can play out wide? A genuine winger, whilst a good move, would mean the Hock would have to find a new formation. Possibly 442 with this guy oneside with license to roam, & the three others in a flat line keeping this guy well supplied with ammo. Might also involve having to paly Smith as a target man for crosses and Sharp feeding off flick on.

    Has possibilities.

    If Castro comes in on one side we will have the likes of Ajose, Duokari, Byram, Warnock, Taylor and Antonnuci who can all play a wide role. Antonnuci isn't just a striker and neither is the Duke or Ajose so we get different options depending on what formation we play. Benedicic, Sloth, Adryan and Cook are all attacking midfielders so we get a wealth of options. Smith isn't as good as he should be in a lone striker role but fairs better when playing alongside someone else. If these deals come off I think we shouldn't be seeing many of last seasons lot again

    Not sure about this whole Poleon thing. any brief glimpses Ive seen of him have been far from impressive. Dont think he has a future with us

    Seems okay Elland. Any reason for Killock over Taylor, Taylor being our reserve LB? Where's the steel in midfield given that it's a local derby and the tackles might be flying in? Benedicic or Cook?

    It seems that Mowatt is not injured! From the horse's mouth ...

    AlexMowatt ‏@alex_mowatt 42m
    For everyone asking me I'm not injured

    Si ‏@LeedsInShetland 37m
    “@alex_mowatt: For everyone asking me I'm not injured” why are MC / DH not playing you? Lunatics running the asylum it seems. :/


    Good question from LiS. Wonder what Cock's answer is?

    Sorry Eire, maybe we've different mindsets, but I like to beat every team we play and especially our poorer Yorkshire cousins, even as a kid I remember hoping we'd win the West riding cup...<ok>
