Maybe Gildart can play there

Leeds close to signing Juan mata on a free surely can get better then that

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jul 14, 2022 10:15 am  

Don't mind him on a free tbh. Adds much needed Prem experience and he was one of Man U's better players last year when he played. On a free it's no gamble at all. The lad can still play. I've not seen any credible link to him though as yet

Seen it on sky sports and only played like 12 games last year just think he's a bit past it

No doubt he's not what he was but i think he'd come in useful for Leeds, especially on a free

As a free hes a OK squad player just thought they would aim bigger and spend raphinha money on better quality

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jul 15, 2022 4:33 am  

To be fair, they have aimed higher and brought in some quality players. Mata isn't a direct replacement for Phillips. I think the club has had a fantastic transfer window. It's been clear for a couple of seasons that the midfield was lacking quality and depth, and it's been addressed. Add a striker, left back and reserve keeper (Foster) and nobody can complain

I'm only really expecting one more paid for signing. I certainly am not expecting all the Raphinha money to be spent as I think we'll have done some deals knowing we'd sell Raphinha

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jul 15, 2022 6:22 am  

Looks like Kataliere lad from Brugge is looking less likely to happen, Phil hay thinks he’ll end up at Milan. Looks like we’re moving onto other targets. Kalimuendo From PSG now heavily linked. Looks a talent but more of an out and out striker than the lad from Brugge.

Watched extended highlights yesterday and thought the young keeper Klassen went really well again. Looks a talent. Roca looks a good player but will pick up lots of yellows if he’s not careful. Geldhart was class, he’ll be some player. His header was superb for the second.

Foreshaw best of the midfield, giving Jesse food for thought. Aaronson looks decent and deceptively strong. Left back is a major concern, we were exposed there several times

Think net spend will be about £10m by time we’re done. Spent circa £70m so far with probably another £35m to £40m to be spent. It sounds like Marsch wants another left back
