Double agree, we seem to have a shed load of talent at U23 level we could explore if depth is required..I'm kind of itching to see Kun Temenuzkhov play, don't quote me on the spelling and the centre mid we stole from the (real) reds

Id like to be linked to a defender for a change.

Perhaps we're sending out smoke screens.

I suppose we have to remember that Lasogga's only on loan and, if he continues to impress, his parent club may just reel him back in, but I'd like to see a new CH and LB. Our defence may improve with Vieira back in the side but we still seem a little fragile at the back.
A bigger question for me is, why is this lad not playing for his team and what is the spat (if it is one) about? If it's just greed or wanting to move to another club, he could do the same thing to us.

Agreed Ges, when I penned it I realised resistance is futile (wife's a Trekkie).
The other thread about loanees, I spoke as if the morals of football are as they used to be, but nothing's as it used to be - everything's Business and Profit led and we have to get up there and join the club. Thanks for the reminder.

Goalkeeper-Daniel Bentley at Brentford.
Left back- Amari'i Bell at Fleetwood.
Highly rated young players, wouldn't cost the earth.

Leeds scouts identified at the last 2 Austria Vienna games. Not clear who they are watching but one possibility is 20 year old Nigerian Ibrahim Abdullahi Alhassan.
(Copied from elsewhere but seen the reports somewhere)
Attacking player apparently

Emi Buendia linked.
Mentioned before, may he something in this as he is on loan to our Spanish partner from Getafe.
Signed to a 5year deal in 2016 so rated by them.
20 years old, winger/forward.
Earning good reviews apparently, but not a lb or a cb.
We are apparently tracking CCFC talismanic winger Jodi Jones.
Know a bit about Jones being from the Midlands, he is a talent, only just turned 20, quick, direct, small in stature but not afraid of a battle,4 goals, 8assists already this season http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... Jones.html
But, this is another attacking player
