Kamara has been spotted at Elland Road apparently

We've also bid for Ao Tanaka from Fortuna Dusseldorf. Central midfielder, Japanese international. According to German media

just read that. intriguing.
but please buy a left back

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sun Aug 27, 2023 9:03 pm  

A lot of ITK accounts are saying Kamara medical done.

What’s people’s thoughts on the CB position? A few mates of mine are screaming for an addition there.. I’m unsure we can afford it given midfield and left back right back shortage

In for Japan international midfielder Ao Tanaka according to Bild. £1.8m. Looks like a potential squad depth signing. Was decent for Japan at last World Cup

We have:

Rodon
Strujik
Cooper
Cresswell
Hejelde
Plus Ampadu in an emergency.

That's good depth, and a few of them would start for most teams in this league. I'd say we're fine there.

Yeah my thoughts also. It’s plenty good enough for the Championship. I’m not sure we need to be spending big money there. We’re conceding too many but I think that’s down to the wing backs. A good experienced cm will help in that regard too as will get some control

The Paintsil deal won't be happening. Leeds haven't bid again and the player has told Genk he doesn't want to leave in this window.

Are we still negotiating the Phillips deal?
It is an absolute must we sign a LB above anything else.
Byram whilst ok there is more often than not injured and is a RB.
Shackleton is an ok ish cover as a desperation measure and Firpo is just awful.
Drameh who I thought should be in instead of Ayling did himself no favours Saturday and for me has his head elsewhere.
Bertrand or Taylor would do.
