Desperately need:
GK (eg Henderson)
Centre Back on loan
Left back on loan option to sign
Ideally also a Creative centre mid that can put ball in the back of net and take over from Pablo.
Sadly. am only hearing flakey rumours about left D.
As ever. I’d say there’s no point adding players for numbers . got to be quality. But based on yesterday, the squad is too thin on “sufficient†quality as demonstrated by the Crawley debacle.
By the way. I don’t usually criticize Bielsa. but yesterday’s outing was a complete brain fart by MB.
The confused team in second half after the substitutions displayed “over confidence†in the the teams ability to beat and organized second div side and and over confidence in the the young players to play amidst that confusion. their confidence will have taken a beating.
No won wins with what MB did. except Crawley. and our opponents in the Prem who will dance in the dent this will have put in the team’s heads.

Can't say I disagree with our wants Toro. Certainly a LB is a must (can't see past Rico Henry) The Mid is more of a problem. Attributes required are; box to box, 90min engine, magic feet, quick brain all that and 12+ goals a season. They are out there, showing huge potential; gamble! or cost more than we an afford. Even the unproven ones do not come cheap. CB on loan comes with it's own problems as we have to find someone of quality, ready made to start tomorrow but will be happy to stand aside come Feb/ Mar. GK is a quandary to we go for first choice and possibly stunt Mesliers progress. To me the lad has done nothing much wrong and on many occasions, saved us. If looking for a back up then we have to evaluate the progress of Miazek and Caprile before we buy. Certainly a bucket load of problems hopefully they are being addressed as we type. I would love to hear us tie down at least the first problem before January is out.

Creative mid for. me we lack a skillful playmaker desperately.

We need a cm for sure painfully thin in the midfield
We need an experienced competent back up gk number
Just pay Kiko off and terminate his contract
Leo, pretty sure Miazek has left Leeds last summer
I am not expecting Leeds to sign anyone for the first team ;but you never know Orta and Bielsa might just surprise us.

Yes one of the issues yesterday was that we created nothing at all.

We don’t have trouble scoring but we have trouble defending
Left back and proper defensive mid.
