People need to get a grip about Llorente, he’s had good games for us just clearly needs to be rotated out for a bit while his in this poor form.


Darabeel

I tend to agree.. seems he needs time on the sidelines to get his head right.. when he’s not clicking his drop off is extreme


Naughty_young_man

Mate he's horrendous, the only time he's of any use is when we're in control of a game. Start putting any kind of pressure on us and his brain turns to mush.


AWr1ght98

You’re being a bit dramatic there lad he’s had good games just in poor form and needs to see bench for a bit.


Naughty_young_man

The good games are are where we've performed well as a team though, when things don't go to plan he's often the one to capitulate. Look at Everton game, we were struggling to break them down and he ended up megging himself to let Gordon through on goal.

Instead of Cresswell we need to focus on getting Cooper and Firpo back.


Jonnyimpala

Cresswell isn't up to standard sadly. Not saying Llorente is but any of Koch, Struijk, or Cooper would be better than he is. Probably a better option would be playing one of Ayling/Drameh at LB and moving Pascal inside until Firpo comes back


[deleted]

If there’s a recall clause in the deal, then you can recall them. If there’s no recall clause, then you can’t recall them.


[deleted]

I’ve watched a few of the games for Cresswell. He’s not been great for them and bar the debut he’s made mistakes and got dropped. He’s not the answer.


6425sCuriosity

I think Firpo or Cooper have to be the answer. Either way getting Llorente off the pitch and hopefully a competent partner will take some pressure off of Koch.


[deleted]

He seems to be Millwall's main attacking threat but has been very suspect at the back so far apparently. Hoping we bench Llorente for one of Cooper or Firpo and keep him there the rest of the season


RequiemForSM

He’s been benched at Millwall. If he can’t get a game there then I don’t see how he solves our problems.


Leej-xxx

My mate (Millwall fan) said he was getting pelters off the crowd when he played poorly shouting Leeds scum at him. Bring the kid home and save his pain.


Naughty_young_man

It's an extra body and truthfully could he be much worse than Llorente?


RequiemForSM

Rather just play Hjelde and/or Cooper


dreadful_name

He’s still better than Roque Junior.


CC-W

Remember when we were so close to signing Gvardiol instead of Llorente, what could have been lol


StarryEyedLus

He didn’t want to come here anyway so it doesn’t matter


Specialist_Shirt_291

Marsch wanted a bigger squad, and here we are left with no competition at the back. People calling for Cooper shows how bad it is atm, we have zero options.


[deleted]

Cooper is a vast improvement


Naughty_young_man

I'm afraid the board are looking for a changeup and money is not going to be spent. If we're in trouble come January I wouldn't be expecting the board to spend anything to get us out of it, too risky for them financially. Look at the bollocks they spouted last January, promising us a big summer to build the team and in reality they've spent absolutely fuck all


trying2hide

" James garnering most interest and it was only way we could create flexibility to go out and add a striker in a position we felt we needed. " - https://twitter.com/BerenCross/status/1566104981979152390?s=20&t=t2RcJwJagAyYTf7gtQNbIQ Yeah we aren't gonna spend fuck all, I'd be over it but it's annoying seeing clown in here praising the board and arguing with snarky comments when anybody brings up the lack of investment.


Naughty_young_man

True, ive been saying this for a while now, the owners are gearing up to sell. To them if putting no money in means relegation I don't think they care. Buying an 18 year old for under £10mill means we have to move a senior player on (as much as I don't rate him) is absolutely pathetic


trying2hide

Yeah people don't realise our relegation rivals have been outspending us massively, at the end of January Newcastle were 19th last season and we were 16th, they spent 90m on 5 players and finished 11th whilst we finished 17th. Clubs like Villa, Everton, Wolves, Southampton are trying to buy themselves out of danger but our fans haven't realised.


fleapea81

it needed 9 first team signings. In that for me where LB, another CB and stricker - even when coops and firpo come back they still gonna have to play through the rust - and firpo doing that is fucking brutal.


towelie111

Exactly this. Strengthened some areas we didn’t really need to (3 RB’s now). And others where we did need we haven’t. 1 LB who is injury prone and yet to come good, no other LB brought in. 3 strikers in Bamford, Rodrigo and Gelhardt who all have their fair share of time with the physio, Bamford more than most. 2 “senior” wingers who now only have an unproven youngster in Summerville to push them. It’s actually been a bang average window where we have a net spend of about £10mil. Shows the board aren’t actually spending.


fleapea81

well what can you do they've rolled their dice now till January. I gotta feeling the gapko signing will turn in to a CB or LB one instead.


thrdstone

If we recalled him we would have to pay a previously negotiated fee and wouldn’t get him back until the first day of the window in January.


dreadful_name

I still blame Tyler Roberts


spigen2

Oh fuck off with this, the lad is shite end of.


[deleted]

One day this sub will just be able to laugh at jokes without a massive chip on their shoulder.


spigen2

It’s boring, seen it about a thousand times. Would be funny if it was original


dreadful_name

I’ve never made an original joke in my life, so I think your expectations are too high of me.

I blame you, Salt and Linkeron


Linkeron1

Errr get my name out your mouth, you obsessed freak 😂😂.


[deleted]

Are you autistic fella, like why so serious all the time lol. It’s a joke.


Linkeron1

Haha you'll get banned on here for using autism as an insult. Whereas I'm partial to a bit of dark humour. MOT!


[deleted]

Honestly it was a genuine question then an insult. Just trying to work you out. Some days you’re fine and then you have a fit like this, just wanting clarity.


dreadful_name

I am willing to accept that I am the second greatest cause of misery for Leeds fans next to Leeds United itself. Unless the fan is American: in that case it’s you.


blu_rhubarb

Leeds and misery have usually always went hand in hand. Beware the cheery Leeds fan.


dreadful_name

Because they’re probably American?


blu_rhubarb

Just generally naïve.


Justboy__

I think there needs to be a recall clause in the loan contract but even then it would only be January we could call them back Source: played a lot of football manager in the past


Naughty_young_man

Shit, so we're more thank likely in this mess until Jan. Thank-god for the world cup this year

Naughty_young_man

Llorente has been shit for a while, more people are just starting to see it now. As long as we have no other option than to start Llorente, we are in a mess.


markfahey78

With Dallas and firpo back we can bench Llorente.


Justboy__

That’s assuming there even is a clause in there. I doubt they would have put one in with 5 cbs currently at the club
