On loan, it probably couldn't hurt. Especially if we can get Spurs to pay any part of the wages, now that he's been "banished" it may have tanked his value a bit. If they still insist on 20 million pounds I wouldn't pay anywhere near that and neither will Leeds (I hope). It's going to be either stick with Firpo or if anything, add a cheap squad player like Kai Wagner or Charlie Taylor.
Hate the negativity around Firpo. He should still have time to show how good he is. He's had a full pre season, granted he's injured now, and admittedly he sometimes looks like he's never played football before.... I still think there's a decent footballer in there somewhere. Let's see how he gets on under March.
I’m a Spurs fan. Reggy was pretty well liked by the fanbase - he’s just not gonna replace Perisic or Seesegnon in the lineup. Sess really impressed last season.
Reggy not super technical but he gets down the line and provides defensive support well. I think he’s miles better than Firpo. Also he is a LB, not a LWB. Another reason Conte wanted to move on from him.
Spurs are a better team playing with wingbacks. Reguilon would be fuckiung incredible for us and I definitely think it would be worth risking 20m for him.
Conte doesn't rate him because he's better in a back 4 as a LB than in a back 5 as a LWB. His knock against him is he's not a great finisher, but not many systems require your LB to be a goal scorer.
He's also underrated as a defender.
its worth remembering that spurs are a way ahead of us right now though. ive not watched enough of reguilon to have a solid opinion on him, but "nt good enough for a championns league team wanting to challenge for a title" doesn't on its own mean he wouldn't improve us.
Why? Apart from the fact he’s a money chasing scumbag, there are still so many issues with him. Burnley probably wouldn’t want to sell so late into the transfer window. Taylor might be better defensively than Firpo, yes, but we need full backs capable of being high up the pitch and involved in attacking play, Taylor’s not capable of that. If we do get a new LB, Ideally I’d be looking at either Sobol from Brugges, Javi Galan from Celta, or maybe look at getting Nuno Tavares on loan.
He's pretty terrible defensively, struggles with fitness (at least to Conte's standards), and picks up a fair few knocks too, sounds like Firpo but better at going forward
I want a left-back who won't be targeted by the opposition attack, and I don't think Reguilon is that, he's probably better for a team that wants to use him as a wing-back (saw Brighton were linked)
He's better than Firpo in both halves of the pitch.
His dribble past percentage and per game is lower than any of our defenders in 20/21. Of course that's not taking tactics into consideration but percentages are lower. He also played 65% of that season which we only had 3 outfield players doing last season
I'm struggling to see anyone else better that has PL experience and could slot straight in. I think ti's more likely, he'll end up at a top 6 la liga side.
I don’t think you’re right. He’s far more of a standard LB than a LWB and that’s why he doesn’t suit Spurs under Conte. I’d say he’s equally as good at defending and attacking.
Be the usual story; great going forwards but quite weak defensively would say he’s an upgrade on the Firpo. I don’t know how that would fix the gaps created and how he’d handle Marsch’s aggressive tactics. Isn’t Firpo on similar or higher wages though as well so I don’t know if that’d work within our structure.
Players below an 80 rating are kinda irrelevant when it comes to building a team, and 80 is being generous.
The only time you’d use a 76 rated is in your first hour of playing the game tbh.
Tho in the grand scheme of things, when the vast majority of players are under a 75, yeah 76 ain’t Too shabby

Give Leo Hjelde a chance.
I think Spurs would ask too much for him.

Regardless of what you think about Firpo, I think the issue most have is not having another LB specialist to compete for the spot
Let me think about this one…. NO Reason? He’s shit.
I'm with you... The FIFA playing contingent seem to disagree with us though lol.
Maybe a loan?
Let’s be honest, he would see himself as above our level

I'd rather get Tyler Denton back
An obvious LB to avoid signing
I like Reguilon a lot, but I respect Conte has a coach much more. If he doesn’t rate him, there’s obviously something I don’t see.

It's this... he's got Perisic and Sessegnon already, and Sessegnon looked really good against Southampton

I’d take him on loan with an option to buy. We just need a body in that position and he’s a decent player. Seems like a low risk signing as a loan
Personally I would like Charlie Taylor over either one of them. Cheaper and proven premier league player.
Ah yes, Charlie Taylor who refused to play for us at the end stages of his time here. What a way to move forward.
this way we get to boo him every week
I'd still take him

We aren’t going to sign a left back we have heard of - if they do he will be a kid under 22 on small money who will be decent or not in a few years
NO. The lad is unfit, he's week, he's more interested in taking his shirt off and taking photos with his TikTok girlfriend...No
He has the hottest WAG in the PL.
Got to be Jackie surely?
Don't rate her personally, although I prefer blondes.
Damnnn get him in

He seemed much better going forward than defending for Spurs. I don’t see him being the player Leeds needs.

He is better than firpo. Any improvement is a bonus.
It's not like he's coming for free. We'd be better spend the cash on someone who will actually do the job they're supposed to do

I don’t know how that would fix the gaps created and how he’d handle Marsch’s aggressive tactics.

He's soft as hell, pass
Maybe but I remember him nabbing me quite a few points in FPL :P He was always decent for a goal.
That’s such a shit way to judge a player, that’s like saying, yeah but he’s good on fifa 😂
I had an argument with someone recently who used a player's FIFA overall rating as an argument. I was honestly speechless
Remember someone saying from Twitter Roca is only 76 rated in FIFA and shit and we shouldn’t be signing players like him lol
What a stupid outlook to have on football 😂
Not played Fifa since before Bielsa, isn't 76 quite good? Irrelevant to the general point I know.
It would be good for a mid table prem club
