What a vital point that was at newcastle , we could of lost 2-0 to a better team through our defence being not good enough , I believe Leeds need 2 premiership class defenders a midfield maestro (raphinia return has been hinted) and a quality premiership class striker , don't get me wrong some matches marsch tactics have been questioned but I think he is learning the premier league now and not going gun ho all the match but the fact is our defence let's us down if we could sort that out then I think confidence will take Leeds higher and eventually into Europe, what's your thoughts on the players needed in transfer market January ? Will we get the players we need ?
Out of pure interest do you ever read any of the other threads or ever join in on any that you haven’t started?
Our problem is getting some deals done that can improve the team to get us to safety this season. So Wober will help a lot. Summer means a clear out of Forshaw, Klich if not already gone, Ayling and Cooper. Then we need to decide on 4 CBs from Koch, Llorente, Struijk, Wober, Hjelde and Cresswell so we have 3 left and 3 right to choose from 2 need to be loaned out or sold. RB needs sorting out is Drameh in or out LB needs sorting out especially Firpo so we need one maybe two Creative AM needed Can we please decide what our striker situation is going to be please. We have Bamford but is he what we need after so long without him. Rodrigo, Gnonto, Gelhardt, Joseph, Perkins who is staying and who is going out on loan
Sell Cooper while he is on form which isn't very often we might get 5m for him ( as I'm sick of his panick attacks under pressure) We could have a good partnership between Roca and Koch but Koch is substandard but might improve some games Koch has played ok but other games he was sh.te , Llorente still has not got upto premiership grade so I would sell him we might get 20m from a Spanish club , ayling is slow now but has heart I would drop him to the subs bench , firpo definately needs selling he is not good enough could get 10m for him , Bamford is a difficult one we can't sell him at moment as he has not got match fitness and cannot get any form laid on the kitchen table but If we could get Bamford playing I would take the goals this season and then sell him in summer after he hits form we might at that point get 30m for him when he is on form , Rodrigo still has a question mark for me , we bought him as a striker he has started getting goals now so maybe wait till end of season to decide but he might pair well with another partner striker if we can get one in january , so firpo 10m + Cooper 5m + llorente 20m gives us 35m we could get a decent defenders for that or a decent striker plus money in radz pocket we could get another good premiership class defender and have change left over to offer Barcelona 20m for raphinia.
3 players Leeds could get as they are FREE TRANSFERS 1. Alex oxlade chamberlain 2. Jordan zamora 3. Adama traore ALL HAVE PREMIERSHIP CLASS AND PREMIERSHIP EXPERIENCE and would save Leeds united millions they are on free transfers as their contract runs out in summer 2023
Marsch said he's on the grass, training, expects him to be with the rest of the squad training in around 10 days but not certain as it's a tricky type of injury. So sometime between now and whenever.
or perhaps a little later than that. Lisfranc injuries are quite unpredictable, depending on the severity, to be fair. From what I gather, if he’s back in full training that’s a much quicker return than most. It’s often 6 months before you can train properly on the injured foot.
