No chance Firpo going, not now. we have next to no options at left back and both him and Byram (who’s a RB) have injury issues. Firpo will be of value to Farke second half of season, he’s useful at this level especially when you have the ball most of the time.

Creswell could probably do with another loan but it could leave us short if Strujik out for any length as cooper is injury prone

Agree with that mate.
But if either Rodon/Struijk get injured it only leaves us with Cooper (big risk) or Ampadu.
I actually think at this level Cresswell would be fine as a back up.
And I still think Hjelde left side centre back would go ok.
However I do prefer some experience at the back at this stage of the season.
A Charlie Taylor/Connor Coady type player.

I agree he's good back up.
but he wants to play and you can't argue with that.
hjelde is nowhere near good enough imo

Tricky one I suppose.
Can`t blame them wanting to play yet the 2 in front of him are much better.
Says it all when Farke picks an injured Cooper on the bench instead of him.
What`s your thoughts if Klassen (spelling) keeps another clean sheet Saturday.
Does Messlier come straight back in?
My thoughts are yes even though I`m still not convinced on Messlier.

Klassen has done very well. Looks a good keeper. Messlier comes back in though when his ban is up.

his ban is up.
klaessen isn't good enough imo

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Jan 11, 2024 3:50 pm  

Hay saying this afternoon we want Ben Johnson on loan from West Ham. also would like Neco Williams but Forrest reluctant. Both good players. Johnson can play either side.

Cooper and Stujik both out injured, Cooper for a week. I suspect Leeds will get a move on with recruitment now if they can

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Jan 11, 2024 4:52 pm  

Maybe my man Cresswell gets the nod and has a mare of a game and I can stop touting for him
I would imagine same back 4 from last weekend.
Tad I thought Messlier had one more game to serve?
