This Leeds fan reckons we need to strengthen our squad in every position, on Talksport last night.

He may not be far wrong.

time to see if Brighton will let us have Georgie back, and Jimmy for that matter.

Rodon

CBR - Premier/European class

Ampadu

CMF - A goal scoring midfielder, someone who can score from a free-kick.

James

#9 - A No.9 who is good in the air as well as with the ball at his feet & score all types of goals, (same applies to the AMF too)

AMF

Soloman (if Spurs allow him to join Leeds)

Bench
Darlow
GK
RWB
Struijk or Wober

Meslier, Gnonto, Grue, Wober or Struijk to be sold.

Maybe Bamford if any club are prepared to take a punt on him.

Haven't seen enough of Schmidt to make a clear judgement.

Joseph sent out on loan to a championship club

Rutter, Summerville and Sinisterra not even on the benches for their respective clubs today. I blame Bielsa's excessive training.
I love leeds united, may I never admit to it. :shhh:

Geo is injured, up til then he's been influential. Good rate of goals and assists. Sinisterra was a Marsch buy I think.

The problem is there needs to be a level of realism and we really need astute signings.

Squad player at best, which to be fair applies to the majority of our current set-up.

Willy irritates me at times, I'm disappointed with him when he has started in our first XI of late.

Can't argue with that, shrewd bargain signings who can cope in the PL.

If we do an Ipswich, we are doomed.

I think we should keep ampadu and Rodon as first choice centre back pairing - they complement each other really well. Struijk and maybe a new experienced player as back up. Need a left back, number 9, a number 10 and a CM plus sign Solomon permanently. Ramizanni and Aaronson to leave and hopefully we find someone willing to take Harrison who I’m sure was quietly hoping we wouldn’t be promoted.
