January Transfer Rumours And Squad Discussion

[SG90]

Can't blame.Radz for the defence mate, for all his cheapness Bielsa has been adamant he doesnt want defenders, he said it again today.

He also said "no for now no". Regarding players coming in at all.

Bielsa firmly believes in his sma squad and will only accept new players if they are better then what we have and only as a last resort, he prefers to find solutions in squad which is admirable and incredibly stubborn.

Can't believe he's being genuine in that, he said the other day we need players. We can't let sentiment get in the way of promotion. Fact is BPF was going to be dropped before Blackman's injury and we can't forget that. He can't keep costing us goals and points before it's too late.

[SG90]

Radz hasn't put any money in for transfers. All our signings have come from Wood, Taylor and Vieira sales. If he fails to buy anyone in January, then he should be treated the same way as Bates and Cellino.

[SG90]

We've got £6m from Saiz as well, plus sell out crowds and season ticket sales and shirt sales.

[dezzy]

No he hasn't played for them for two years.

A chance so!!

Not yet we haven't, you should never spend money on a promise of what may come ...just in that instance btw, not an across the board comment

If we don't go up, we'll just sell Jansson, Clarke and Roofe anyway, so why does it matter.

[The Subhuman]

Maybe we will or maybe we won't ....maybe all 3 break legs. Maybe Roofe doesn't score again most here think he's junk anyway and becomes worthless. Clarke is a worry he's way too good potentially to even be a LUFC player in the prem next season. He's the best young player I've seen for us probably since Delph.

There's no maybe about it. All we do is sell our best players.

Swiss media linking us with Steven Zuber from Hoffenheim. Swiss international (scored against Brazil at the WC), left midfielder but can also play cam or on the right, they're saying €10m but can't see us paying that. But hopefully a sign of what we're looking for.

Phil Hay confirms we're interested in Zuber and that we "definitely want to sign a GK.". Well get a move on then, don't want to see BPF against Derby.

Now we're talking. Much more the caliber of player we should be looking for.
Promotion is there for the taking, quality over quantity is required.

100% Agree.

Guaranteed if we don't go up, add Phillips to that list too

The knives will be out if we fail as we'll be back to square one from a position we should be building on.

That's all is required it's called ambition as our squad is vulnerable as it has been the been for months, the cracks are starting to show now with a long way to go in the season yet !

All reports seem to indicate that Hoffenheim are happy to sell, but it's just about convincing him to drop down. Perhaps a loan with a permanent signing if promoted would be the answer.

[Genghers]

Zuber really would be a statement of intent. I think we could do with the experience throughout the team and he's definitely got that with international and Champions League appearances.

Not massively prolific in terms of goals and assists, but he'd definitely give defences something else to think about.

Reckon we'd be more likely to do a loan with a permanent clause - he'll be on big wages and we would my want to be lumbered with those next year if it all goes to pieces this season...

Remember Zuber from the World Cup, he with Shaqiri were there 2 biggest threats, the 2 wingers.

Decent pedigree, Champions League experience.

Can see in the video why Bielsa would like him, good on the ball, direct, hard working.

Thats more like what we need.

Looks good to me. Too footed as well, so comes with unpredictability. Played at the highest level, World Cup, Euros and Champions League.

Get the cheque book out Radz.

[Dalton]

We should take a poll on who actually thinks he will sign!!!

I would take him at the drop of a hat...but will Leeds?
