I think the Zambrano article just states we didn't take the option which we knew already. We may still be interested but we have no exclusivity and so need to compete against other clubs.
I don't see it as we've decided not to buy him, more that the deadline passed because we weren't able to sign him due to the no fee sanction. Now other clubs are sniffing. I would like to think we're still interested
Spoke to a couple of Utd lads at Old Trafford today and they were amazed he has fallen so far given how good he looked coming through. Hopefully we can get the best out of him now.
Watching a load of tourists celebrating a penalty shoot out victory against Fiorentina in Pre-Season was peak 'Utd low point' today.
He was rated really really highly there, talks of one of the best to have come through in years, but it all went to his head
Re Zambrano, hoping its not dead in the water and that the decision going for us this coming week might enable things to happen quickly. Someone posted that should that happen he would be allowed to train with the squad.
He seems to be part of the Westerlo - Maribor - City triangle doesn't he, hopefully he's someone we can get for the future. Be ideal to have ready made young uns to replace the likes of Crooks and Lundstram over the next few years!
Williams is a good addition. We could do with a midfielder who can sit deep and control the game. We had Lundstram doing it today but I feel he’d be better suited higher up. Maybe another winger too but I don’t think we need much else, considering the restrictions we’ve built a fairly decent side imo.
I agree we could do with a proper defensive midfielder, hopefully we get Zambrano. I also think we're seriously lacking creativity in the attacking midfielder position. Would love to see a Koren type player signed who can assist and chip in with a few goals too. Tufan would have been perfect... shame we let him go as he'd get you 8-10 goals a season from midfield easy.
Don't forget we've got Akintola coming in next week, so we'll have Millar, Belloumi, Kamara, Ndala and Akintola, with Pharrell Brown also waiting in the wings. We're pretty well stocked in the winger department, it's the deeper role we need to sort. Still.
Agreed. Lundstram was a cut above our midfield today in and out of possession but he will be better in a box to box role. We could do with a specialised DM
I liked Tufan, was sad to see him go and another one that would probably have worked well in this team.
Is it too late to sign him? We only have him on loan, this is a genuine question as I don't know what the process would be as he's still a Leeds player.
