Davefevs Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 LJ interview v Brentford with Gregor....Summary Tough game, players need to prepare to perfection Window: Trading? Swaps? Leasing? Loan? All mentioned but little specific. Talking about freeing up funds though....suggesting trading means sell / loan to buy / loan City are an attractive proposition Any new player, has to contribute and make other players better too. Don’t wanna sell Kelly. Can’t guarantee it. Lloyd still early in his career though, needs to keep his feet on the ground, hasn’t cracked it yet. Loans? Kalas season long - want to keep him, but vague about terms of season long Da Silva season long - similarly vague, but Jay close to playing, could play in CM cause of technique. Good chance of a loan coming in. Would need to be rediculous bid to lose a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 I thought he'd said before that we would be actively looking to trade in January? I took that to mean ins and outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastonburyRed Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Sounds like a quiet January, then. A bit concerning when talking about 'vagueness' of loan deals, isn't that something to nail down at the start of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Obviously you can`t tell a lot from the bullet points but I think he`s preparing us for a quiet January where we may lose more bodies than we gain. He was cagy about Kalas which suggests to me that he`s half expecting a bid to come in to Chelsea but he hopes they won`t accept it. He`s probably just keeping his cards close to his chest and knows far more than he`s saying though. Personally I`m not expecting much action in January, in or out.

Major Isewater Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Reading between the lines it would appear that we are favouring the loan route in this window. I think that we aren't able to bring in any marquee signings unless we sell one of our stars , LK, COD ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryfile Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Kelly will be sold, possibly with a loan back, maybe COD as well if he continues to perform over the holidays. I hope we bring in a proven scorer, maybe tied in with Kelly moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ quoted as saying he doesn’t want to sell Kelly, meaning he is going to be sold against my wishes, which of course applies to all the players LJ wants to keep, who are then sold (Flint, Bryan, Reid).

JoeAman08 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 For me, sounds like serious interest in LK too. He kind of let slip there have been offers made. Probably reading too much into it but said when you see the clubs in for him but changed it to linked or whatever. Could be a slip of tongue but it is LJ and Bristol City everyone is a bit loose with their tongues at times. Not sure I’d be too gutted if Kelly left in Jan. LJ is right in saying he has not made it yet. He could be improved on for this season. Hell sounds like LJ thinks Jay Dasilva is gaining on him.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 To be fair, he has to be vague. I'm sure there are irons in the fire, but obviously he doesn't want to alert our competitors. I'm really only expecting a loan or two out and a lone or two in, though we may be surprised I suppose. I'm sure Defoe would strenghen the team and his experience would be helpful to the other lads. He is out of contract so don't know how much he would want, but there are probably better opportunities for him. The only advantages of coming here are that London is not too far away and that he would get plenty of game time. His presence might be enough to challenge for top 6.

Swede Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Rumoured £7M or £8M for LK already from Liverpool which is rediculous for someone of his potential who needs a further two seasons with us to really establish his credentials. He'll be good enough to walk in to any top six Premier League team by then otherwise he'll be farmed out to another Championship team on loan and playing against us FFS! A couple of quality signings needed up front and midfield. Brentford won't be a push over. We need to press and have the same work rate as the last two matches to get the three points.

Can't see Leeds spending £8-£10m on a player - Fulham on the other hand I'm a tad concerned that we could lose him in Jan! LJ didn't seem 100% certain at the Presser the other day!

YorkshireSection Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Leeds is a big City, surrounded by beautiful countryside and lovely villages. I can see them payng big wages in the premiership, which imho is where they'll be soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
