Some journo linked Kemar Roofe.

I think that's an interesting link. Decent scoring record for Anderlecht this season and looked good for Leeds under Bielsa. Anderlecht got him for 7m so I imagine double that and they'd be open to offers.

Local lad.

Only plays well until Christmas though.

Great news, it's ages until Christmas 🙂

Is that because Santa sends all night landing on the Roofe?

I'm somewhat traumatised by the phrase "oven ready".

And oven gloves for goalkeeper hands???!

What is your analysis based on? Reina was punted from The scousers as soon as they could get rid. Last time I saw him he was shit at collecting high balls and useless in his distribution.

Nyland at least has potential. And isn't 37.

While we’re at it - would you like to revise your opinion on Trezeguet? You sang his praises to the hilt where I see him as a shit Steve Stone

Nyland did more errors in his appearance at villa in championship than Reina has in his career

The Reina thing is a strange one really. Seems somewhat unnecessary. It’s also concerning that in Deans Leicester post match interview, he seemed to know very little about it.

Makes we wonder how much he knew about Nakamba, Luiz and Wesley, but that’s another kettle of fish.

That’s largely how he operated at Brentford, with others scouting and signing the players.  I’d be more worried if this responsibility suddenly sat 100% with Dean as, unless he downloaded the Brentford database before leaving, he have a limited list of potential signings, not to mention recent experience.

Pretty sure - from interviews/podcasts etc - that he was not considered good enough for the Spain squad but continued to be picked (for a reasonably long period) because he was widely held as a good bloke to have around the squad, helping with training and setting standards with regards to levels of professionalism.

The club might have one eye on that aspect of his character; he will not mind being understudy and can help develop Nyland and Steer.

Has Mertens gone anywhere yet?  He’s surplus at Napoli and can play as a striker and in the wider roles.  He’s old admittedly but that might means he’d be inclined to join us (get a big payday in the PL).

11th January, no forwards in as yet. Massive games coming up, Brighton, Watford, Bournemouth.


Worrying.
