Sky sports news had us linked with eustice at watford last week!!
I personally would like to see the likes of taylor and eardley at oldham and lambert from bristol rovers brought in now then it would reduce the initial outlay if we do get promotion as all these would be decent in the championship imo. |

| Quote ="emmesr"Not really, it looks like another playoff season but all depends if Grayson can get good performances from the players as the second half of the last season suggested that we could do it.
It's a weaker squad than last season's with Douglas, Delph, Richardson and Lucas leaving and Sodje not signed up. The only ins are Kisnorbo, Crowe and Higgs.
If you look at squad size we've got cover in almost every position, 4 strikers, several midfielders, 4 centrebacks and new keeper but the quality of the squad appears lesser than what it was last season but i've not seen any of the new signings so could be suprised.
However Grayson did bring Brad Johnson back in and got Kilkenny going, wonder if he can do anything for other 'forgotten' players like Showumni, Hughes, Huntington, Prutton?
We could do with a midfield enforcer to break things up in midfield as we can lose out here from time to time and some cover for right full back and if Beckford leaves then striker who gets 20+ goals a season.'"
Anything else?  |

Need a holding Midfielder now Delph's on his way. Hope the fee is above 6 million, that would be unheard of for League 1. Pre season would seem to indicate that SG has got us playing well. Roll on saturday!

I've heard the deal is closer to 3 million plus theres bonus's and clauses that take it upto 5 million.
Even if it is that its good money for him |

Great move by Villa.
Sell Barry 29 years old for £12m (IIRC)
Sign someone possibly could be better in a few years for half that.
Nice profit!

Then possibly the player that Pappa smurf was alluding to in his last paragraph was a striker to replace Beckford and not a midfielder to replace Delph? |

Apparently on SkySports News they are saying £7.5m, IF that is the case then it's a very good deal for Leeds United, Hopefully all the cash doesn't go into buying Thorp Arch back... |

Delph IMO is irreplacable (sp) at League 1 level. Leeds have sold off the only real class attacking player. Yes we've got a decent fee but what good is that when it probably won't go back into the team.
I'm not that confident about our promotion chances now.

Finding the right players is tough though, especially at this stage when the bulk of the top talent has been snapped up. |

There's still quality within this league that would be comfortable at championship level i.e Taylor,eardley (oldham),lambert(bristol rovers)whitbread(milwall).
Spending reasonable money now the delph deal has been done would save money long term if/when we get promoted.
If we get promoted with this squad we will need to sign at least 5/6 more players but if we sign a few now and get rid of the likes of kandol,michalik,prutton and casper the rebuilding won't be as big a task plus the fact if we sign these players as a league one club the cost won't be as much as it would if we get promoted! |

We'll take Kandol, infact we'll take any striker anywhere in world football atm! |

| I'm gutted that Delph has gone, £8m is too good to turn down i know but Bates wont spend much if any on new players. I think keeping hold of Beckford was more important than keeping Delph, obviously Delph is a more talented player but IMO Beckford is more important to our push for promotion this season. If Beckford stays i think we'll go up but the bookies now have Beckford at 2/1 to join West Brom. Surely if Bates is saying there's money available to spend then the priority has got to be Beckford's contract or is Bates just cashing in before he finally snuffs it, which cant come soon enough.  |

Yes agreed, imo Delph should have gone a month or so back, which would give us more time to recruit. Interesting about beckford though, if we lose him it's curtains for promotion i think. |
