Thought I'd start a thread about transfer rumours that are clearly BS and would just clutter up any proper discussion on transfers.
Today's bollox story is Omar Colley, a 28 year old CB who plays for Smapdoria. This has to be the one area in the team we will definitely not be strengthening with a senior player from elsewhere. I call this story bollox.
You do not paint a good picture Bull.
With injuries we have at the moment, I cannot see any being able to return until Mid/Late Jan.
Probable got another 6 Prem games at least without them, longer for KP.
VO needs to look as getting at least 3 decent loans on first days of Jan. DM, No.10 and Striker.
Oh I would get a winger and CB too! Maybe also a No. 8
if leeds dont get there act together and finish the second half of the season strongly i can see rapha, kalvin, meslier to name just three that will be approached by the more established PL teams. God forbid we get relegated i could see that number rise significantly. Its a crucial 6 months and one that will define us as a Club for years to come.
2003/04 Relegation out of the Premier League took 16 years to return
1981/82 Relegation to the then Second Division took 8 year seasons to return
1959/60 Relegation took 4 years to return
1946/47 Relegation took 9 years to return
so our history shows us that LUFC don't "bounce back" too quickly that's why i fear we go down how long will it take us to a) find a nugget like Marcelo or b) find a crop of players that can deliver over 46 games in the hardest second tier league anywhere in the world??
I wouldn't be holding my breath on either of the two scenarios above happening in 22/23
Manure watching Meslier..
.
Costa 19.5 m on the way out
Colley in....
Don't know a thing about him but he's made 22apps in Serie A this season and is highly rated....
Yes, Coops has been a BRILLIANT captain and knitted the team together on the field and in the community. I feel he has gone as far as he can at this level and if we want to go for top 6 etc we have to be ruthless.... I still wouldn't be adverse to Coops being 4th choice though
