Not so sure they will get 40 million certainly not for Toney.
Would you swap Bamford for Abraham?
Not saying Bamford is worth 40 million btw.

Rate Tammy but he’s not going to come to Leeds to sit on Bench more often than not as Bamford is still main man and we won’t pay that money

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Apr 30, 2021 9:12 am  

Brentford got £25m for Mauphey, and £33m for Watkins, so I wouldn't be surprised if they get around £40m for Toney. Lot's of clubs are after a striker at the moment, so it's a sellers market, so clubs are going to have to pay top dollar if they want a good one. Even Arsenal want £25m for Eddie Nketiah, and he's rubbish.

Crazy isn`t it to think those sort of players are going to get the club that sort of money.
Well on that basis maybe we could get 40 million for Bamford.
Wonder if someone will give us our money back on Costa!?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Apr 30, 2021 10:18 pm  

I’d get rid of Costa. Not up to scratch imo. Very very average

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat May 01, 2021 10:04 am  

If we are looking to offload the likes of, Costa, Hernandez, Alioski, Kiko from the first team squad.
And we are allegedly bringing 5 in it hardly boosts the numbers.
My guess is we promote some of the youngsters like Summerville, Gelhardt, Greenwood, Bramah, ,Bogusz to the first team.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat May 01, 2021 12:15 pm  

The squad size won't change, Bielsa has always preferred a smaller squad, which makes sense if he doesn't prefer to rotate.

I doubt we'll see Costa leave unless we get a decent offer, which is fine by me, he's OK as a squad player. I do think we may see a right footed winger be brought in though, as all our wingers are left footed at the moment.

I'm not convinced Kiko will leave either unless we can get a replacement, I hope we do personally

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat May 01, 2021 1:19 pm  

I think Kiko is happy sitting in the stands getting his wages each week tbh.
Same might be said for Costa who for me even as a squad player is not good enough.
Defo need a LB and a striker unless we use Rodrigo as the alternative striker and bring in an attacking midfielder .
I`m not so sure we need a defensive midfielder now that Dallas or Koch can cover there for Philipps.
A right sided Raphina would be nice too.
No Philipps for todays game.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat May 01, 2021 2:56 pm  

Poor first half for Leeds with no attacking threat.
I think Bamfords only touched the ball twice losing on his first touch and doing nothing later.
Koch not playing well along with Klich and Harrison.
Alioski as usual not using his brain and losing the ball too often.
I would certainly be putting Hernandez on for the second half .
I think we have had 7 or 8 corners and not found the Leeds man yet.
Hopefully we can improve second half.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat May 01, 2021 3:59 pm  

I didn't think we could play worse than we did in the first game against Brighton, but we managed it. Nobody played well, apart from Poveda at a push. Dreadful performance.

Brighton are a decent side, and they'll do well to keep the likes of Dunk and Bosouma in the summer, they're definitely good enough to play at a higher level.
