Piroe talented but bit of a luxury player from what I can remember, even when he was scoring goals Leeds fans never rated him. I’d look elsewhere for what he’d cost.

I don’t think it’s so much a bad thing as superfluous. Why not bring in another proven Championship goalkeeper?

I’d suggest he would be fairly cheap for what he would bring.

A lot of teams in this league are desperate for a striker and will pay a hefty loan fee for him, we’re not one of them.

Very low down the priority list but something I would like to see us add is a different profile in midfield: a pure ball winner.

Lad in Holland called Gibson Yah who is interesting. 22yo, 6’4 CDM playing his first proper season for Volendam in the Dutch top flight and his ball-winning numbers are insane. Massive project because he’s a bit dodgy on the ball but in the Prem we’re going to average like 40% possession so who cares.




For an option who is a good ball-winner but also decent on the ball: Kodai Sano. Just won his 1st Japan cap, brother of Bundesliga star Kaishu Sano. One of the best players in the Eredivisie and touted as a £10m+ player so wouldn’t be cheap.

You need to accept that we are almost certainly getting promoted, and we need to adjust our transfer plans accordingly. When it comes to players like Piroe, as mentioned in numerous other threads, there's not much point in trying to build a super-Championship team. And even less point throwing money at building a super-Championship team just for this season when you already have one!

The Manneh talk seems to have gone quiet, wonder if it’s still in the pipeline?

I think this went cold in November. The club and the player’s agent have been hawking him around to try and get the most money for him. That is their right but we can’t compete financially with the Premiership clubs such as Bournemouth who are reportedly after him.

We’re being Stamenic’d again. Player ideally wants a Prem move but you have talks with the Champ team while your agent desperately tries to use that Champ deal being close to try and get a Prem side to step in and make a move to avoid “missing out”.

Aladji Bamba, the massive Monaco CM who came on against us in preseason and looked like prime Yaya Toure, is reportedly being allowed to leave in January. Still only 19. I know nothing about him other than he was highly rated, started a few games early in the season, and was insanely good against us.

I wouldnt want Piroe here, but reading this it does make me think that similar could be said about Wright and some posters on here

I think this flu bug has opened a few eyes. Because of our 'ever-present' defence we assumed Woolfenden and Lati would not be up to the challenge that lies ahead this year so many, including myself said we needed a new CB in the window, now I am not so sure.

The squad has been under FL and his team and I think, from a distance, they have all been improving together. I have always liked Lati, he is an intelligent and well-spoken young man but I feel even he has been taken to another level by FL, therefore, I honestly don't think there is anyone out there, who is available, who is better than what we already have.

Going back to my original comments a few months ago, when I said we needed 4 or 5 signings, I now feel with an addition of a wide man and maybe a loanee who can push Rudoni, we do not need many others.
