There’s definitely a serious issue on that left hand side. Marsch has no answers on that one at the moment. Obviously the transfer window will hopefully provide a solution there but there’s no doubt he’s unable to make tactical changes in game to solve it. Some of the players decision making was horrendous though, Cooper Koch and Struijk were so poor for the last two goals

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Nov 14, 2022 8:18 am  

the only answer is signing a LB and move struijk in or replace both

Why are Leeds persisting with this Charles De Ketelaere chase? Same with Gakpo, weve missed the boat, sort the frigging LB and defence out first!

It seems to be everywhere, hopefully were using the stories as a smoke screen to some proper business.

I wouldn`t be too disappointed if we missed out on CDK.
He`s not cut it in Italy and he certainly hasn`t done anything in the World Cup so far.
Gakpo on the other hand has got to be destined for a top 6 PL team.

Gakpo looks very good doesn’t he. Lack of ambition cost us in our pursuit of him. The offer we made was never going to br enough. PSV knew they’d get more after World Cup. He’ll go to Italy or Spain to one of their big hitters

Or maybe even worse he could end up at MU

From what I have read about it, the offer we made and Southampton made, were never going to be enough for them to sell so close to the end of the window. I think the supposed asking price offer we made was never actually correct. LVG was in his ear but to me the story that he talked him out of coming to Leeds as he needed to be playing every week just doesn't make sense. He'd have been one of first names on team sheet. BUT having said that, to get highly rated players like Gakpo, you have to be a club that is making progress (if you're not already one of the more established teams in the league) and Leeds have been on the edge for too long.
