Shame we’ve missed out on Barkley imo. He’d have done well under Bielsa

True but I do think we need a bit of experience in midfield and like Trebor has said Barkley would have been a good fit.
It`s almost as if Lampard will agree to send players out on loan to anyone but Leeds

I thought the domestic deadline was for transferring out of PL clubs to Championship etc. I don't think PL clubs can sign players, though I may be wrong.

I’m hoping for a good showing on a Saturday, not expecting a win. Unlike Liverpool whose only weapon is speed, City have technically gifted players like De Bruyne and Foden. Their weakness is obviously defence but can’t see them not bouncing back after last weekend.

Real shame we missed out but understandable if he can`t pass the medical.
Let`s hope plan b comes to something as we still need 2 more by Monday.

i would be more than happy with just one more quality midfielder. Not overly sold on Cantwell and seen Man utd will be wanting 25 million for James and we are still linked there but at that price surely not, 14 million tops for him imo.

we may well not get anyone else now after a week has been spent on a targeted player falling through at the very last hurdle. more than likely if we do it will be a left field player not spoken about yet really and will all happen very quickly sunday/monday as it has with many of the transfers so far.

RDP definitely won't be sign according to Radz

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Oct 02, 2020 8:59 pm  

I’d be happy with James but not at that price. Interesting few days ahead

We did well to come back into that. You feel city have a couple of extra gears to move up and kill us off, but we just have to hang in there.

Ayling should have scored.

Great point that. I thought we'd get murdered after 15 mins

Leeds are going about their business very well so far. Competitive, energetic, entertaining. A very good team.
