Am I the only one thinking that DCL could be a shrewd signing? If we can keep him fit then he certainly knows where the back of the onion sack is. I recall some fans having a dig this time last season at the Solomon signing, look how he turned out.

It's the keeping fit issue Koch.
When firing and firing a few years ago he was a handful.
Injuries recently are most people's concern i'd say.

I'm more worried about getting laughed at by my mates at work for our number 9 prancing about in dresses.

Yes you are the only one! ? seriously though it depends whether they see him as the answer to our number 9 problem, which he can't be with his fitness or a useful option which he could be. Personally I think even when he's fit he's overrated. Had more bad seasons than good. But I'll sing his name on Monday and be delighted to be proved wrong.

They say he has experience in bags, unfortunately they're ladies handbags.
DCL isn't his nickname, it's his three favourite things; Dresses, corsets and lingerie.
He thinks LUFC stands for Lasses Undergarments Feel Comfortable.
I'm here all week.

17 league goals in 4 seasons is it?
,
But now suddenly he's wearing a Leeds shirt, he's going to become a sensation at ER,
You really couldn't make this up, I am so pissed off .
17 in 4 seasons. ?
We all felt Sergent would be a disaster
Well well well.

He's a risk worth taking I honestly believe as long as his contract isn't too long and his wages too high. Maybe a 1 year initial contract with the option to extend.

His scoring rate Chris, is better than Bamford’s over the last 4 years, even with half of the seasons in a lower league in Bamford’s case. DCL is a better player than Bamford (even England manager’s think so) . He’s better than Sargent also, though, despite your assertions, about “all of us, ” wouldn’t be a disaster in my opinion. DCL is likely better than Piroe and Nmecha, time will tell.
DCL may actually end up being our “best” striker this side of the January window, since it appears we can’t attract the “better” ones. Perhaps, sitting mid-table at Christmas might make us a more attractive proposition?

So if you weren't in the " all of us "
Ani, will you now tell me you were happy when Josh was been spoke of, and will also tell me he would have an "asset "?
Inverted's were your idea by the way ?
Basing Lewins goal returns v bamfords is imo ridiculous,
A goal scorer who couldn't play, who couldn't score is zero bench mark
And also England manager assumption,
If Lewin was a benefit to England, why did he last play 4 year ago was it?
All 11 caps.

Chris, what?
I don't think Josh Sargent is a bad call [he's an international player], has scored more goals than most. Why do I have to come here and wax lyrical about who I think is a decent player?
Bamford, when he was playing, e. g. last EPL season, played 28 times and scored 4 times. Name me a player, who you would be content with, who was an "asset, " with those stats?
It's not me comparing Bamford to DCL, everyone arguing here, including you that we already have a non-scoring sicknote, we don't need another. But, here you go, DCL has more England caps, played more recently that Bamford, has played at a higher level for far longer than Bamford and has more goals than Bamford. Bamford hasn't played well [or very often] for Leeds for a long time, but has been the highest paid player at the club [I know how important it is to you to gauge how underserving of riches a footballer is].
For the record, I like Bamford and it saddens me his Leeds career is ending this way; despite his lack lustre scoring record, he works as hard as anyone and was pivotal in getting us back to the EPL.

Correction Ani, I didn't compare Paddy to Dommy,
I just went in on fact I don't rate Dommy never have, Paddy I gave up on long ago
Also a fair bit of condescension in your initial post about so many fans being a bit dim .
So sorry you have e to read our opinions here, but funnily enough when it suits a few on here, yourself included
differing opinions are seemingly what this site is all about .
