Two more to come in before the deadline, its going to be an exciting couple of days.

How we all feeling after yesterday?

Feeling content, slightly concerned in case those two new signings don’t materialise. I honestly think we’ll see just the one.

As it stands, Piroe and James are not good enough at this level, I’d try a fit Okafor and Gnonto with James on the bench.

I’m relieved we have an International break as DCL and Okafor need that time to gain some extra fitness

My thoughts exactly

James not in the swing of things yet for sure, his pace doesn't even look stand out in the prem and thats a real worry!

Really like him though, hopefully he just needs to find some form but give me Gnonto and Bogle on the right any day of the week from what ive seen so far

Bit concerned that’s now three games with no goals from open play and we have one of (if not) the lowest number of shots on target in the PL.

Given the stats weve done incredible to have four points on the board with a tough start too.

We cant carry on like this though, everyone associated with the club must know that

We will get two in mate. I have faith.

And if they are of decent quality and we can kick on, those 4 points will seem an even better return

I. Know we’ll get two in. Just worried the game changers might be all sorted. At least any prospective signing watching yesterdays game should be relatively impressed with the overall setup

Only get two if one is under 21 or someone leaves though. I think we only get 1.

Dan James. Too good for the Championship. Not good enough for the PL.

Useful for his pace if we’re chasing the game in the last 20 minutes though.

Supersub role beckons.

I don’t think he’s fully fit. He has also played a few balls in but defo not as effective. Would be a very good sub though. I think when Okafor is fit we could see him on the left and Gnoto on the right. Then we can pick from James, Harrison (who looked good yesterday and midweek) & Aaronson (who also had a good cameo).

Today’s top Leeds stories doing the rounds. Ed Spertsyan has gone under the radar in Europe for too long and Farke knows him. I dont see any European mug clubs letting any good player go under the radar, so will be a big gamble. Why wasn’t he on our list if so good and why leave it this late?

WHU chasing Charlie Cresswell £17m also other clubs in France, Italy and Spain.

Usual bollox about Hamer and Buendia but funnily enough no Kalvin Phillips which is scary

Creswell doesn’t seem to stay anywhere very long. Wonder why

You obviously don’t like Cresswell and don’t know how you can say he doesn’t stay anywhere long? He’s only been in France for one season and was bought cheap to sell on to make cash. So far he is still in Toulouse but the club are wanting to cash in. Remember when they bought him it was Gasperini who was sporting director and he said they checked all stats for young CBs from all over Europe and Cresswell was ahead of almost everyone who they could get. He also said he couldn’t believe the price. Gasperini is Roma manager now and is also interested but he could be too pricey now.

Don’t mind him at all either way as I’d barely ever seen him play senior football. The comment about him not staying long is the fact he’s on the move again but you’ve explained it that the club wanted to make money. Thats what I was wondering <ok>

Well if the close of the window is 7pm anyone coming in from abroad will need to be on their travels before dinner time the morra morning.
I have a feeling we are going to pull something decent out the fire late in the day.
It will all be a nervous wait 1,2,3pm and nowt then feckin booooooooooom.
Still to shift..... Meslier,Gyabi these will both go tomorrow just think we won't get want we want.
29 hours to go.............
 
I’ve been Pleasantly surprised by DCL’s two cameo’s. I was wondering how he kept finding space and was thinking he was deceptively mobile. Mr google said he was Everton’s fastest player last year. He has genuine pace. Never really noticed that when watching him previously. Had him bracketed as a target man (which he does well too).

If we can keep him fit I think he’s going to be a really big asset to us (even allowing for his inability to hit the target :biggrin:) Key word there being ‘if’.

West Ham looking annoyingly decent at forest. Jimmy comes on, gets an assist and wins a penalty in a couple of minutes to put them two up.

Was just going to post something similar.

Forest have been poor today. Could it be the manager/owner spat turning things toxic?
