just sign a bloody left back!

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:48 am  

We can`t stop signing forwards and midfielders when a good centre half or left back would do.
We are going to have too many middles!!!
I really do hope we can keep Cresswell when all we will get is 3 to 4 million for him.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Jan 31, 2023 1:11 pm  

I wouldn't be giving up on Cresswell just yet, but he hasn't even looked championship level yet. I'd keep him and loan him to a team in the championship that he'll start every week.
Hjelde has done well at LB for Rotherham so far. I think he's got the most potential out of the young defenders we have

Tim Thornton on SSN reporting Leeds are weighing up defensive options today, not ruling out another incoming.

So deadline day all done and dusted, Harrison stays. 9/10 window that for me. Excellent by the board.

Yea, there's definitely no more excuses for JM now. We have to start winning games.

It will still be tough though, Bournemouth, Wolves and Forest have also strengthened, and Dyche will make Everton much harder to play against.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 01, 2023 12:41 pm  

I agree and I said previously there`s not many teams worse than us.
I feel we need between 8-10 points from our next 5 games.
Forrest, MU x 2, Everton and Southampton.

he has done a brilliant job of overhauling what was a paper thin weak squad full of players who were past it or not good enough.
you can see what he is trying to do tactics wise. as you say now is the time to put some wins together. I think we stay up by or 6 or 8 points. everton will be better organised but goal shy. forest a shambles and Bournemouth poor.

Harrison to sign a new contract according to SSN. Interesting to see he was at Leicester training ground on Tuesday night as transfer could have gone through but Leeds changed their mind... Also Leeds turned down opportunity to sign Turnazebe from Man U who's a CB.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:21 pm  

I bet that kind of thing is very common on deadline day as time to get the deal done is very limited. It sounds like Leicester offered JH more money and Leeds were willing to let him leave if they could get a replacement, which they couldn't.
