Villa are welcome to him.
He is also extremely lazy when it comes to defence duties from what I have seen.

if the board of LUFC are going to spend £40-50 Million on 1 player it needs to be a number 9 NOT a number 1.

We need new incomings this transfer window in this order:

number 9
number 1
attacking midfielder
Leeds need to bring in a midfielder who can score goals and a decent number 9 in Jan 2027.

Obligatory video.

Could be interesting, young, decent record, Midtjylland also have a decent record for finding gems.

He's also quite different to DCL by looks of it, more capable of making his own chances which is useful.
YEP have dismissed this link.

Not someone we are after.

In fact mentions of a striker have been pretty much 0 all summer.

Not one verified striker link.

Trafford for £50m. Record LU wage earner. WR release fee!!!

Post by Victor_OTT_17 »

We could pay up to £50m for Trafford smashing the club transfer record we will make him our highest earner. His release fee will be the highest ever for a goalkeeper: a whopping £75m!!!

Openda very early on, which goes to show it's not all badly aimed clickbait or the rumour mill would have linked every striker possible. I think we're happy with DCL and a couple of wingers, plus Piroe

If we get Brandt this will work! I actually think we are not looking for a striker right now with the Brandt acquisition in mind. if we can get Brandt over the line, do we need another/better striker? Piroe is guaranteed goals with Brandt/Wilson behind/alongside him...

If we get Trafford that really strengthens our defence.
Our signings so far this season is more quality than quantity.
Also getting rid of some players surplus to requirements.
I would even be happy with Trafford and a striker to finish off our signings.
Would be happy to wait to sign a midfielder after new year.
I know we’ve had this feeling before but really excited for the start of the season.
