Also we have been linked with 25 year old Sunderland winger Will Buckley.

Would be a good signing, can't see it happening though.
 
Buckley would be ace, although he has had injury problems i've liked him since Brighton. Also with Adam Johnsons situation i cant see Sunderland letting him leave.

What positions do we need to sign in defence sniffer? I think we are looking good at the back. Certainly not a priority in my opinion <ok>

I'd like another centre back personally. But only if they are quality, Moore would be good but there'd be others.

Do agree its not top of the priority list though

Not exactly leeds but Max Gradel is likely to be coming back to England. Bournemouth have agreed a fee with St. Etienne

Pfft, he's a 25 year old winger/forward who's playing in league 1 and has been for a few seasons. Not particularly prolific and doesn't get that many assists either.

Don't get me wrong, I want us to sign him but if he isn't worth more than 1m.

Sniffer, goals against fell into 3 phases last season: pre-Thompson; Thompson; & post- Thompson. The results are interesting (I've used league only results), thus:

Pre- Thompson: Hockaday conceded 8 in 4 games - 2 per game
Pre- Thompson: Milanic conceded 8 in 6 games - 1.33 per game
Pre- Thompson: Redders (both spells) conceded 15 in 11 games - 1.36 per game
Pre- Thompson Total: Conceded 31 in 21 games until Thompson started on December 18th - 1.48 per game

Thompson: Conceded 16 goals in 18 games until he left on April 2nd - 0.89 per game

Post- Thompson: Conceded 14 goals in 7 games until the end of the season - 2 per game

Put another way, Redders conceded an average of 1.61 goals per game without Thompson, and only 0.89 goals per game with him. Nearly twice as much!! Using the 0.89 ratio, we would only have conceded 41 over the whole season. Only Middlesboro conceded less than that with 37.

Redders is no more, so if our present coaching staff is up to the task, we should be able to concede less than 1 goal per game with the players we have.
