Re: January 2023 Transfers and Squad Discussion
You're way too positive Cjay, and that's gonna upset the majority of posters on here, such as me, and you, and SG
So let's get the negative stuff going
Radz is a cnut, who needs to take his two bum chums and the San Francisco Gold Diggers with him and f**k off to Mynamar to commit some war crimes, or summat

Re: January 2023 Transfers and Squad Discussion
Been linked with 20 year old Swiss International Ardon Jashari.
He is a defensive midfielder and current Captain of his club side in Switzerland with 40 senior appearances to his name in total.
We aren't favourites though according to Sky Germany.
Completely unnecessary signing though with Champions League quality Adam Forshaw and the best young English midfielder Sam Greenwood already here.
Move on.

Priority 2: A striker or No. 10
I know we need to upgrade everywhere but can't see the money extending as far as a central midfielder. Hope we sign the Priorities 1 and 2. Beyond that I think we're looking at more youngsters.

Re: January 2023 Transfers and Squad Discussion
Phil suggesting the club rightfully are hesitant to bring in a striker.
He said: “It’s been quiet on the striker front, but the question keeps coming back to Marsch about how much he can rely on Bamford and he seems totally convinced that Bamford will get back to 100%.
“But that’s the problem, isn’t it – you don’t have the luxury in the league position Leeds are in to be without regular goals, to be without a regular No 9.”

The January Window is almost upon us.
I think I'll go into hibernation for a month.

Re: January 2023 Transfers and Squad Discussion
Che Adams being mentioned again.
Wouldn't be that much of a shock given Orta seems to target the same players over and over.
Down to the final 18 months of his deal at Southampton but hard to see them letting go for anything less than £20mil.
He would certainly appear on Orta's analytical spreadsheet because he has been playing under Red Bull ex Ralph Hassenhutl.
Plus side then he knows the system, knows the league, has talent and his Premier League record isn't to bad.
Negative is he wouldn't come cheap, he hasnt really torn it up at Southampton, been OK but nothing special.
And if Martin Terrier was to old for us last year at 25 (having another brilliant season and being linked to Manure, well done Victor) then the same question must be asked about Adams who is 27 in the summer.
An underwhelming target perhaps? A do a job but not likely to set the world on fire?

That would be very underwhelming and on a par with Traore

Don’t need a striker, what’s the point if you can’t get the ball to them. We desperately need some creativity in midfield - forshaw, roca and adams havnt one ounce between them. And Aaronson for all his effort isn’t being played right to get the best out of him.

Re: January 2023 Transfers and Squad Discussion
I agree with this. We need a Central Attacking Midfielder more than we need a striker. Aaronson is not good in that role. He needs to start from wider positions and then make runs into the box. We need more of a central playmaker. Nobody on our squad fits the bill.WhiteRose wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 2:44 pm Don’t need a striker, what’s the point if you can’t get the ball to them.

We know we haven't had a ball player since Pablo, simply because we can't afford one. They don't grow on trees and certainly not on the type of money trees we currently grow.

Sky Sports Germany reports that Leeds are leading Celtic, RB Leipzig and Napoli in the race for FC Luzern captain Ardon Jashari, 20yo midfielder, part of his country's 2022 World Cup squad, can reportedly leave Swiss side for a fee of around £6m.

They grow them in South America. But we don't have a scouting network there....
