they wanted £20m for Diaz but with 1 year left on his contract nobody would take the gamble. it's a big jump, especially for a striker

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Sep 03, 2022 7:08 am  

Sure I saw a comment from Leeds saying they'd looked at Diaz but didn't think he'd replicate his goal scoring in the PL. That's fine for me. Like a game of poker, you can't go in on every hand

Thought I`d seen Blackburn turned down 12 million but 14/15 might have done the trick.

Great squad today. Strong 11, with a bench with lots of options

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Sep 03, 2022 1:47 pm  

tough game though. good, well coached side brentford. I'd take a point now

One of those days when nothing went right. Llorente is a calamity, and so is VAR

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Sep 03, 2022 5:11 pm  

llorente is a shambles of a player. truly awful. surely cooper will play next monday.
bamford, rusty or not, is half the threat tony is. we need a threat up top.
VAR. where do I start? this tef never impressed in the championship. he was next to the foul which led to the penalty and gave nothing. VAR is for obvious errors. ut took 5 minutes of checking so it wasnt that obvious.
take VAR and the ref ignoring a clear pull back on Somerville in the box and you despair.
lots of top refs retired last year. a lit if this new crop are bloody awful.

Fortunately I missed the game due to being at Headingley.
Saw the highlights and thought we should have had a pen.
Llorente at fault for 3 goals and did I read Bamford missed from 1 yard out!!?
When will the penny drop that since last season we have needed a striker with or without Bamford.
Toney shows us what we have been missing.
Surely Cooper plays next match.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Sep 03, 2022 8:05 pm  

he missed from 6 inches with nobody near him....

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Sep 03, 2022 8:23 pm  

more alarming was marsch saying he didnt want james to go but to sign one another had to go. the net spend has been peanuts.
are we so hard up? I like this board, they've taken us a long way but it might be the time for the 49ers to step in
