  • Leeds fan in work rates Aiden White, solid and reliable, the sort of player will do a good job in league one.
  • But bottom 3 where it matters
    Absolutely. Agree 100%. I was just correcting an assumption that we can't create chances.

    Let's hope the festive period and the new year see an upturn in our chances to goals conversion rate.

    Merry Christmas.

    Yeah as Sage alluded to I remember him being quick and promising at Leeds.

    I'm also of the feeling that this is low risk, high reward. We can't sign anyone until Jan 1, and even then transfers at our level rarely go through that quickly, so it could be up to six weeks before we can get a loan in. I think giving White a chance between now and then makes a lot of sense, especially with Page out injured.

    I also think that the fact of the matter is if a decent quality player is going to come to us then there is going to be some sort of catch. And that's not just a Roland thing, though he makes it far worse obviously, that's a League One thing. So in order to get good players capable of playing at the high end of this league and ideally the Championship, there are going to be trade offs.
    He's a free agent so can sign now, I believe.
  • Unfortunately Marcelo and Jordi Alba didn't quite fancy the move to a league one side with no money to spend
    source?
  • I am sorry but we are looking to get promoted, do we really want someone who hasnt played football or even had a team for 18 months
    More accurately, do we want to carry on with only one (injury prone) specialist left back or take a chance on a cheap back up option? Beggars cant be choosers as they say, and with Roly in charge begging is what we are reduced to.
  • Unfortunately Marcelo and Jordi Alba didn't quite fancy the move to a league one side with no money to spend
    wouldn't cut it in league one anyway.
  • Unfortunately Marcelo and Jordi Alba didn't quite fancy the move to a league one side with no money to spend
    Both too small anyway, pfft fail the height test....
  • Got no problem with giving a free agent LB a trial. Let's face it, even if we had money, the reserve LB slot isn't somewhere where we'd be likely to spend a hefty fee anyway

    Merry Christmas and a miserable New Year🎅🏾

    Thanks for the positive vibes.

    It's all too easy to be downbeat these days.

    It's appreciated so, again, thank you.
  • With Morison, Gregory, Bradshaw, O’Brien and Elliott, would there be room up top for Eaves?

    Eaves is a classic player that wouldn't work here, big lump from a relatively local rival, always a handful against us, scores regular goals.... We'd sign him and he'd end up being the Medway Makienok, an attritional donkey that can't score, can't head the ball and keeps Grant out the side as we try to play him every week to justify buying him.

    No thanks

    I reckon he's off to the Bermondsey Bellends anyway, and will score a hatful for them

    Dick Tydeman did alright for us though ... :open_mouth:
  • According to wiki White is 27 and hasnt played a game since his loan move to Barnsley in the 15/16 season

    So over 2 years with no football

    Should be a perfect fit for us then :wink:

    Eaves will go to wherever pays the most money. That’s the case with 99% of transfers. He’s in his prime and a good contract now sets him up. I’m sure the division will come into it but if it’s a choice between eg. Rotherham or Portsmouth then he will go where the money is regardless of division.

    Fair comment although Taylor turned down more money apparently from Sunderland in favour of us so must be the 1% :open_mouth: .
  • Cracks me up. Writing players off so soon.

    We could get someone on a free, and could be a flop, but he could be a success.

    We could also pay a fee for someone and be a flop (many times this has happened).

    Let the fella have a few games before passing judgment, surely? Lol
  • Also, even if Roland would spend, would you spend a sizeable amount of your transfer budget on a second choice left back?

    If it was Chris Powell I would
  • edited December 2018

    What'd ya reckon @Leeds_Addick any good?

    ... having looked at his career history I can almost certainly say I would’ve seen him play a couple of times during 13/14 but not enough to remember what he was like I’m afraid.

  • Millwall look the favs to sign Eaves, his goals will keep them up.

    He's unproven at Championship level.

    If the scum sign him, let's hope he's a disaster. If we sign him and we get promoted, let's hope he's amazing.

    Bradshaw is out for the season, Elliott and O'brien hardly ever score and Morison is 56.
    Basically they need someone to partner Gregory.

    Sorry but not true, we offered more than them. They haven't got money to splash btw

    No what was reported at the time depends what your sources are though :wink:
  • The Guardian is reporting today that:

    “Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign the Croatia goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic from Gent in January. The 28-year old was part of his country’s World Cup squad in Russia.”

    On the basis that Villa have a couple of other goalies for cover, it looks most unlikely that Steer will be recalled. Good news, as we want and need stability within the current squad.
  • Yeah really good news as Steer is improving similarly to what Amos did last year.
  • The guardian are slow, didnt skysport confirm he had passed his medical a few days ago
