I’d add Roberts and Shackleton to that list if they can get fit and stay fit (big if in Roberts’ case)
It seems good morning BTW that we are about to sin a 22 year old French striker with a good pedigree having played for 2 top European teams .I must say that its a better deal than Adams on paper I am sure the good Doc will provide me with a video Lets hope he signs today
Yeah, a Monaco play on loan at Leipzieg, though his conversion rate this year isn't great and we are still talking 15m
Think he's been limited off the bench. When you look at the minutes played, then as the equivalent of 90 min games he has something comparable to a goal every 2 to 3 games.
he’s done nothing this season, but still young... and no disgrace not making a very good Leipzig side. Seems to be a talented lad who has admitted to having a bit of an attitude problem in the past - sounds like what you might call a calculated gamble if it happens. But we’re less than a week from d day so we’re clearly into ‘roll the dice’ territory.
Hmm looks as though he's a player who knows where the back of the net is,but difficult to judge any player on a couple of minutes of youtube videos, as we are well aware,however in his favour,looked as though the grounds had descent crowds,so fairly important games,we will literally have to wait & see,but looks speedy & skillfull so could be thrown in fairly quickly.
I’d rather take a gamble on him than piss £20m up the wall on a striker who isn’t good enough for a lower PL side. We want to be in the PL, if Adams and Gray are not good enough for Watford and Southampton they shouldn’t be good enough for us, certainly not worth £20m
Just been reading a Crystal Palace fan site, they’re wondering how they lost out to a Championship club for his signature. Apparently he wanted to play under Bielsa, it makes a change to have some pulling power. Poveda was exactly the same, Poveda apparently has attracted glowing reports from Arsenal and other PL scouts but the stumbling block was first team football. He certainly isn’t coming to Leeds to be an U23 player, he’s spoken with Bielsa so he must have been told he is competing for a starting place
