awful. like a training game first half. koch looked very assured, aronsson looked quality. nothing else really. never rated the keeper, think he is poor.
to be fair theres been a bug in the camp, like everywhere else, so its hard to know if a few were struggling.

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.

I think we're interested but we don't have the ££ clout to get the deals done.. honestly i think Radrizanni has taken the club as far as he can (which is not meant as a criticism).

I think they were Tad. a bucket load of players missing - can't be too harsh on that last night. We did well vs a very good Sociadad team a few days ago. Lets hope the ill players recover quickly and thanks god we're not playing boxing day !

I do feel that with our best 11 playing and that includes a new LB and at least one shrewd signing in Jan we easily finish 14th/15th.
Unfortunately we always seem to be carrying injuries to key players and our record of making signings in Jan has never been great.
Holgate at Everton is rumoured.

3 years for llorente, what the fk! Sounds like Richard Agar contract decision..

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Dec 23, 2022 7:03 pm  

Totally agree Seth.
Isn`t it a 2 year extension to the one that expires in 2024 making him 33 years old?
Both him and Cooper need shipping out end of season and I hope this doesn`t mean Hjelde and Cresswell will be overlooked.
If necessary keep the likes of Ayling to go with Koch and Struijk with Cresswell and Hjelde there to cover.
But watching Llorente this season is one season too long.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Dec 23, 2022 8:39 pm  

As long as he doesn't play I don't care. Clubs tend to extend contracts to maintain their bargaining position. Just because a players signs a contract doesn't mean he'll see it out. Roberts signed a new contract, but was shipped out a year later.

Leeds are going to bid for Max Wobber from RB Salzburg. €11m + €5m add ons. He's a 24 year old left sided CB who can also play LB. He's good, but it doesn't make much sense when we have Cooper, Struijk and Hjelde who play in that position already.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Dec 27, 2022 6:39 pm  

coopers a liability nowadays
hjelde isnt ready yet
