Bossing Bristol today, might be an alternative to Norwood when we're up against high pressing teams who wont give him the time to make the ping.
 

Would love to sign him. But we’d need to be established in the PL to get him - been interest from PL mid table teams for a while.
 
Its gonna be really interesting to see how Fleck and Norwood.cope with the step up. They wont have long to adjust and whilst I think Fleck has what it takes, I'm unsure about Norwood as I dont think hes mobile enough to make a real mark on the premiership. Hes the one in midfield who I think is most vulnerable to a.new.arrival.

As someone higher up says if we still have the money to spend on Maupay I'd rather it went on a dominating midfielder....but in CW&AK we trust.
 
Jordan Henderson is a complete mediocrity at international level. You England fans really ought to accept that playing for your team is not a quality mark.

Hahah that Jordan Henderson who was man of match in a champions league final and the one who got England to a semi final
 
Are you saying those two are irreplaceable? I believe to the contrary. We could improve significantly on both and might come to realise that we have to...

Some of our fans want to spend a fortune on players to improve a team that everyone agreed needed to improve for the Premier League, but then leave them on the bench.

We’ll have to stop clinging on to old favourites or we won’t progress and there will only be one outcome.
No I’m not.
 
Looks like he's Burnley bound, possible swap for Vydra, with cash adjustment obviously.
 
Inexcusable for Leeds to sell him now if they want promotion.

Shame. He's a good player & exactly what I think we need in the middle of the pitch. I'm pretty concerned by our options in there at the moment. Lundstram is definitely not the answer & there's a strong chance Norwood might struggle. It's a key area. Luckily Wilder seems to have acknowledged we're light in there & he seems to be in the market. Intrigued to see his next move.
 
Ok, I wasn't necessarily commenting on Englands quality but more the shallowness of players for that specific position/role but if you wanna take that opportunity to pin your flag as you do every-time go ahead. But more importantly Kalvin Phillips is a very good player and that's what i was highlighting.

Midfield is the one area that worries me, just don't think Fleck or Norwood are athletic or quick enough for the Premiership. Lundstrum while more athletic than Fleck or Norwood does tend to give the ball away alot.
Morrison could be good enough when he gets match fit but can he stay injury free and up for it.
It's the one area that needs strengthening if there is still any money left.

I will happily come on here and apologise if any or even all of Fleck, Norwood or Lundstrum prove me wrong.

If they sell him it would be confirmation they have some real financial issues behind the scenes. The squad is already looking pretty threadbare—strong first XI but not much depth. If they sell Phillips and don’t replace him I could see Bielsa considering his position.

Lundstram’s pass completion rate is the same as Norwood’s, or it was last season anyway.
 

Time on the pitch very different though.

Definitely, that wasn’t the point being made though.

“Lundstram...does tend to give the ball away a lot”.

Funny, how people see exactly what they want to see.
 
Lunny, although unfairly maligned, is miles off PL standard. We need to keep him though as he car shares with JOC.

I can see a few of our players being some distance off PL standard, if we want to establish ourselves as a PL team that is.
 
We need 2 centre mids. The midfield we have will get over run a lot. Need that hard cunt who can stick a good tackle in, go on a run, score a belter, can do a bit of everything.

Doubt we will sign 2 more midfielders but agree unless we are relying on Lundstrum

Hog? Cheaper option for first season then start buying established players if we stay up. Think this will be a dash to the fax job as domino moves happen on Thursday

He doesn't give the ball away much, fans just notice when he does.

He's actually turning into a bit of a Coutts - coming short and keeping the ball moving with his short quick passing. It is however when he attempts the Hollywood style passes that Norwood is so good at that people notice the possession get turned over.

If he could get that side of his game sorted, he's a better all round player than Norwood.
 
Would love this to happen for multiple reasons even if I don't think it has a chance in hell of happening

Exact sort of player that would fill out our squad nicely, he'd easily be worth the 20-30m asking price for me, Phillips and RB cover.. Perfect end to the window

And to top it off, it would royally fuck up Leeds' chances of promotion 😂
