Let's hope we can get a couple of midfielders in at least . John Swift and Lewis O'Brien would do well in our system

That`s what we need a couple of Championship players.
Only joking Jack.
I agree with you that those 2 would fit in nicely and throw in Lingard to the mix.
Such a shame we couldn`t convince Gallagher to come to us now he is class.
Tough tough game Saturday.
A draw would be great not only for the point but for the confidence of the team.

Phil Hay reporting today that he understands Leeds are most definitely gearing up to do business in Jan. Their efforts have intensified following Philips injury he has been told. Interesting this one. Much needed but if have to overpay then so be it.

Out of interest, where is the report? I listened to the podcast, but he mentioned nothing on there about gearing up to do business

Agree I’d throw Diaz at Blackburn into mix too. All better options than we currently have in the depth of the squad. He’s talked about it in the athletic mid season report for Leeds where they’ve asked the fan base their thoughts on how the club has done

Link here but it’s subscription https://theathletic.com/3018025/2021/12 ... ed_article The Athletic’s understanding is that since the injury to Phillips, in particular, Leeds’ plans to be active in the market have intensified.

Not sure why you would need a couple of midfielders when Phillips and Forshaw are similar to Phillips and Rice. Is Phillips' injury a long term one?

We'll see, it seems more and more likely the season will be suspended because of covid
