Looks like were getting henen from Everton on season long loan, don't know if we have option to buy (usual MC option) . Highly rated forward.

This in my mind begs 2 questions.
1) Is this a sweetener for a Byram deal?
2) Who do we think is leaving from attack?
The latter my money on sharp (to blunts) and Morison (to who cares)

Another striker, fantastic. FFS, we need wingers.

No chance on the Henan buy clause, MC blew the Barker loan on that. If he does manage it, I will eat a kebab and have a beer.

1). I think is odds on, given the friendly also. Definitely stuff going on in background

We may sign him, but there will be no buy clause.

Still, do the entire recruitement team have blinkers on??

Down the flanks, on the wings, out wide, hugging the touch line, that's where we need players. Not downn the bloody middle.

Turnbull, Alnwick, Barton, Sidwell, Henan, Avenatti all down the bloody middle.

Henen can play on wing, scored most of his goals playing out wide.

We need more, more, more.

On a serious note, didn't find out much about him so that's good news.

I made a suggestion recently that the 1st eleven next season, with the exception of Wood, is no stronger than last seasons as the squad stands at the moment. Havnt seen Erwin yet but his goals record is worse than Morison! I know he is young, so it is obviously potential that we have bought. Same as the new keeper. I gather he will be nowhere near the 1st team squad, hence we are looking for another first team keeper. Bamba a great signing, but he was here already last season so, again the first eleven not getting better.
I know times are different but we badly need the likes of. Chapman, Fairclough and Strachan. All experienced players to help out a young squad. Sgt Wilko new what needed to be done, and it was not bringing in potential. We have enough potential already at ER, just not enough guile and leadership.
Sometimes you have to take a chance like Leslie Silver did back then and push the boat out a bit(wages)and then you will get your rewards. After all look what happened when Wilko brought in the above three players! In saying all this things are looking up recently at ER and there is still transfer business to be done. I just hope we can get players something like Wilko did, who are ready to lead us to promotion and not more players with "potential". MOT.

I might be wrong but I believe Chapman, Fairclough and Strachan have all hung up their boots now!
Still a chance we could bring Sterland back?
Have faith Corky, I am confident the team will be stronger and we will have a better and more stable season!

Kebabman, do you know what the phrase "the likes of" means?

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2015 20:38:00
I agree corky that's why I personally think someone like Barton has got to be signed. Feel free to disagree but a spine of Bamba, Barton & Wood would be great with a quality winger. Am hopefull that Rosler's on the case! MOT

Agree about the team but will wait to see who arrives between now and the end of the windows. Also, hopefully we'll have stability this season and therefore will be more consistant rather than play well for a few weeks and then go off the boil for a month

good point lucas, last year we had a great team who could beat anyone on their day, look at the top teams who we beat more than we lost, we were just inconsistant. With the players added and hopefully a couple more we can compete. We could compete last year just failed to do so every week. Hopefully the manager can fix this

I can't understand why some fans are getting frustrated/impatient at the lack of signings. We are only in the first week of the transfer window.
This is silly season where agents all over the world tout their players and claim Leeds are wanting to buy them. Very often these tactics are used to get a player a new and better contract. I don't believe we are after most of the players we are linked with so why get upset if they don't join us.
Uwe is no mug, he knows we need pacy players and an elder statesman in midfield and another cb.
I'm sure these things are being addressed hopefully out of the public eye. When a player signs for us then I believe it, most of the speculation is tosh. Keep calm in Uwe I trust. MOT.

I find it a tad frustrating that we keep courting players away from the wing positions. The latest rumours have linked us to Sidwell (CM) and Alnwick and Turnbull (GKs).

Although I think we do require those players, they seem more "nice to haves" than "must haves" seeing as we let Austin go and only have 2 keepers on the books, but just feel the priorities are a bit wrong and I would rather spend what limited money we have on players we need further signings can be balanced out by sales, (Morison, Sharp and hopefully Doukara)

We need 2 wingers and that's what we should be driving in the immediate future. We have Ajose who will get a chance next season, but seriously need to some out and out wide players. It seems that MC fluffed the Barker signing and I understand Drury is still on trial, but I really hope the Paterson rumour is true, because it seems that all the ones that were available, are being snapped up.

McLean £1.5mil to West Brom, Wright Philips on trial in USA, Miyachi in the German 2nd league

Wingers
Midfielder

Agree with Ausman I think. We need a general in mid field to marshall the youngsters and will help to create a dominating midfield. Although we had some excellent results, playing with our backs to the wall and being overrun in midfield, we need a solid platform where we win the ball, hold it(creatively) and get players going forward in numbers not just the ones and twos we saw last season.If we can't do that it will be mid table again. Do we need wingers with pace - definitely. Its not either midfield or winger(s) its both.

Just watched a re - run of the FA Cup tie v Man Utd in 2010. still get nervous just watching it! Still curse when Beckford just misses and minutes later Snodgrass
hits the bar from a free kick. Still have to laugh when Old Red Nose slates the ref for not adding enough injury time.there was nearly six minutes!
Great day!

We have brought in a couple of strikers, well pleased but can they do better than the ones we have unless we get supply to them? surely to goodness bring in wingers then let's see what Ant Sharp and Morrison can do Phillips to come and Mcdaid also Doukara. Our front line looks good but they must get the ball to them not just hoof over the top. Holding mid fielder and a winger or two and we are promotion candidates LUFC

sharp morison up front will never get goals no matter what past it and should go as soon as

Agree2 Disagree1

Chom? Really? More supply to mor and sharp? They missed enough chances last year and in my opinion souk never really tried for a whole game or two on the trot
They are all passed their best or are not motivated
Less sentiment and more sense
Why not try mor as a holding midfielder? He's got the energy. He just ain't a striker.
