January Transfer Window!

Leeds_Fan_Jed · Post by **Leeds_Fan_Jed** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 12:43 pm

Do you think Leeds should be happy with there current squad and just tie down some of our loanees to permanant transfers or should we be looking to invest further??

For me regarding the loanees I'm happy with all of them, especially tate and thomas. I'm not so keen on tongue in moving forward but he's done a decent job so far and I don't have any problems in us signing him.

Obviously what leeds need most is a left back, as peltier really is quite poor in that position. I think we need more pace up front and someone who could pull the strings in midfield and pass the ball around. Sign the loanees up two.
Who to buy?

I would say - Beckford or Gradel upfront £3-5m

Central Midfield - A.Faurlin (£2-3m)

Left back - Lee wallace (£1-2m)

So that's £6-£10m + 1-1.5m for loanees and leed's would have a riiiiiight chance of goin up!

I dont see us spending anywhere close to that if I am honest........I think 2 players at a total cost of £3 or £4m max.

Just for fun if leeds did sign those players this would be my 1st choice leeds line up:

GK Kenny
LB Wallace
CD Tate
CD Lees
RB Byram
LM Thomas
CM Faurlin
CM Austin
RM Diouf
CF Becchio
CF Gradel

Subs:
Ashdown
Pierce
white
Norris
Green
Hall
Mccormack

Your probably right mate but you never know, maybe what I said will be more a kin to next summer.

I would be far happier with Tate on loan till the end of the season than beyond that, he has been good but everyone has a BBE date.

we need a left back and a striker at the very least. extend Tate's loan if poss (not worth buying)

Would love Charlie Mulgrew in our team, but I cannot see him leaving a side in the last 16 of the CL. As for upfront, another Charlie would do for me (the Burnley one, in case anyone is scratching their heads).

Would be better with Gradel at right wing swapping with Thomas and Diouf up front. Somma on the bench instead of White. Don't really know what White can do for us now, seems to offer less and less the more I see of him.

Other than that, solid. We'd have one hell of a bench.

Chris Wood from WBA looks to be surplus, on loan at Millwall which ends soon, would also like to see Meyler from Sunderland, loan ended to Hull last night, both young with experience and have done well in the Championship

Good call, although afaik WBA have told Millwall AND Brighton* that he will cost £1.5m.

*CMS on his way to ER?

The stiker we should have signed from Swindon - Austin would be a great signing, but I wonder how much Burnley would want for him?

No change outta 4m for Austin I suspect..missed the boat on that one I feel, CMS not much less either

If Rhodes went for 8million Austin will go for at least 6 unless his contract is waning.

Not bothered about a front man tbh.

Becchio, Ross and Diouf are more than good enough. Would rather spend the resources on a decent box to box midfielder and obviously a LB.

See if we can get Tate and Thomas until the end of the season. Need to get Tonge on loan as well (or even buy him if the price was right).

The player we really missed out on was Ricky Lambert when he was at Bristol Rovers
