I think we will get a left back.
nobody at leeds wanted james except bielsa who was obsessed.
I like rasmus although he is better going forward. does need to sharpen up defensively.
looking forward to Monaco on Wednesday. hopeful its bloody warmer than friday was

I wouldn`t be surprised if the owners see Struijk/Hjelde as the answer until Dallas gets fit.
And whilst I like Dallas he certainly isn`t a LB.
Can`t remember where I saw it but our Italian owner is ranked 19th out of the 20 clubs in the PL for his wealth.
No wonder we don`t spend!

Yeah time for Radz to sell is imminent imo. Taken us as far as he can. He's been great overall but we need deeper pockets even just to stay around mid table. The 49ers if they do buy us look a sensible lot, they're a very well regarded and very well run NFL team.

Sky sports reporting Cunha going to Wolves. Loan deal agreed with obligation to buy. £34m.

Apparently Marche said we're definitely after a LB and a striker, and Klich is staying. He was recorded saying it during a stadium tour

Good news about Klich. We can't afford to be letting go of players, we need his exp. Lets hope the LB isn't a young kid with no exp as has been touted as a strong possibility by Phil Hay... the striker signing should be a very interesting one.. now they aren't signing Cunha i'm at a loss as to who they'll target, not seen anything on it at all in the press which is concerning.

on another note, Brentford could be in trouble if Toney gets a long ban for gambling on games... he's got 200+ charges against him i believe ....

Pedro is a striker I've seen linked, from Flamenco. He was part of the Brasil WC squad. Nothing concrete though

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Dec 21, 2022 12:51 pm  

release clause is about £60m isnt it?

Looks a talent. If Tad is right with release clause that would put him well out of reach though

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Dec 21, 2022 2:45 pm  

Funny how we are always linked or in a strong position to sign players and it never materialises.
CDK, Rodrigo De Paul, Cunha, The Croatian CB, Lang, Deing and one or two more.
Is it our owners feeding us bo$$acks with no intention of ever getting them do you reckon?
We (fortunately) ended up with Gnonto as he was cheap and it papered over the lack of anyone of note coming in.
It`s time for them to deliver and bring in a decent striker and LB otherwise we will be perilously close to going down again.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Dec 21, 2022 9:20 pm  

Let`s hope we are not serious about having Ayling and Llorente as our preferred centre halves.
Struijk is not a LB and we certainly gave Gnonto some game time which I felt was risky considering our injuries.
Defence wide open in the middle and at LB tonight.
Not many positives other than Gnonto, Koch and Roca 6/10.
The rest 4`s and 5`s.
Roll on City.
