Sgunit can't even buy a quality striker for 7m nowadays.

Agree1 Disagree1

Yes you can Brit asombalonga is 7 mill he is the kind of striker we need, I like Chris wood but he's not going to score a lot of goals.

Agree0 Disagree2

Agree swan lad he'd be a great signing I like wood but if Sunday is anything to go by e simply won't give him enough service

I also owe you an apology after I seen grimes play on Sunday he really is awful lol how mowett or Phillips didn't get in team in front of him is beyond me.

Agree1 Disagree0

We need someone who can play along side Chris wood who can make runs, Britt would have been amazing to have but Leeds paying 7 mill is never going to happen lol Grimes doesn't do a thing for Leeds imo, he's no good at anything imo. I'd have put mowatt ahead of him because he's far better imo. Phillips will be great but needs abit more time but already like his style. The qpr game was a joke we never looked like scoring n our defending was embarrassing. Can't play like that again. Most teams in division 1 would have won the way we played. I'm not slagging Leeds of because I love them but how many times have Leeds played shockingly poor games.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh and don't apologise, we all have different views mate. But yh Grimes doesn't offer anything imo. No good at passing no good at defending.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok so where do we get the CB and LB from with no money? Plus Britt assombalonga is not a lone striker, so doesn't fit into our system really.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2016 15:59:29
I also doubt forest would sell Britt for 7mil esp as they paid 5 raising up to 8 mil with add ons they would want their money back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Seems as though Assombalonga had an ACL rupture. Doubt we'd be stupid enough to sign him with that history especially after turning down Ekstrand for the same reason.

Well if leeds want goals they will need to spend big is all i'm saying. Chris wood will get you no more than 15 to 20 goals per season. I'm not slagging him of or anything because for me he's probably one of the best players at Leeds but we still need a out n out goal scorer. Marcus antonsson won't get more than 10 imo can't see Leeds doing any better this season than last season. Cook won't be missed imo but he will if all we can sign is rubbish like Grimes on loan. Liam Moore is the kind of defender Leeds should be signing but we will just end up with some unknown from Italy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Look boys, we need to stay positive, we're only a game in. I for one, actually trust Monk! Also, I promise you, Antonsson is one of the best, natural goalscorers in this division. He's not going to rattle them in from 30 yards, but he's going to get first full once we get some rythm. You don't have to believe me, but I watched him a fair amount in Sweden and the league (while not technically superb) is just as difficult in terms of chances as the championship. Games in this league tend to go back and forth with waves of pressure and he will feed off that. He is a brilliant finisher. I will bet any one of you that he scores 15 this season if he plays as many games.

Let's give it til November, before we rush to complain. MOT!

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2016 19:37:58
I'm not complaining in anyway I just can't see him scoring more than 10 based on the way he played v qpr in the short period he had. He had our best chance n missed. He's good but not good enough to get us in the playoffs imo.

Agree2 Disagree0

wood ain't playing well because playing one up front makes the team want to hoof ball up all the time why get a striker who was involved in more goals than any player in england for 3 mill and bang him on wing why get antonsson and have him on bech waste of money if were to use em like this monk will learn quick 4-4-2 is what we need. hate this formation invites pressure but then again so does super sol bamba!

Agree0 Disagree1

11 Aug 2016 09:42:02
Bamba did well lastnight, cooper was the 1 who was poor imo. Kemar roofe would struggle as a striker in this league he's really a winger. Chris wood is great at what he does, he's a big lad who was never going to get tons of goals but for me I can't fault him you just need another striker next to him.

Lad at work just told me he's read that Leeds are trying to take Bridcutt on loan for a year then get him for free and that sunders just want him off the bill. Anybody heard these rumblings themselves or have I got a shitty source lol
Cheers.

That's all over news now, but yeah as long as we get him I don't mind.

Agree1 Disagree0

Sunderland reluctant as they are asking £3m but if we get him on a season long loan his is a free agent in the summer.

Would be a nice bit of business.

Reports from some Derby fans saying Johnson is going Leeds bound. Tbh I think they're just unhappy with him after the game the other day and wanted him linked away asap.
Little do they know our owner would be able to pay his wages let alone £2mill
Seriously doubting any quality to be brought in before end of window now.
