The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 2nd December)

Good Morning. It's Friday 2nd December, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road


Leeds locked in race to sign Serbian Midfielder

Leeds are understood to be locked in a race with Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma to sign Serbian International Sasa Lukic. Leeds scouts have been watching the 26yo in action during the World Cup, and like what they see. He would certainly be an upgrade on Mateusz Klich and Adam Forshaw who are both expected to depart in the New Year, and add competition for places.

Lukic is strong on the ball, and does not give up possession needlessly. He has very good close ball control, and an eye for goal. With 18 months left on his contract, Torino value him at €15m (£13m), a fraction of the price of Weston McKennie or Christian Pulisic, who have also been linked with a January move to Elland Road.

Should Gelhardt go out on loan

Leeds have got some big decisions need to be made in the New Year, none more so important than to figure out what to do with Joe Gelhardt. It's not quite make or break time for the England youth striker, but at 2oyo, he is no longer a child prodigy that needs to be wrapped up in cotton wool.

Joffy has found life difficult in the past twelve months. Limited game time, and his fair share of injuries have hampered his recent progress, but with limited striking options available to Jesse Marsch, can Leeds afford to send him out on loan?

Cresswell set to stay at the Den

Charlie Cresswell is set to see out the second half of the season with Millwall. The 20yo is loving life in South London, and with over 1000 minutes of game time under his belt, is fast maturing to be an invaluable asset to both Jesse Marsch and Gary Rowett.

Cresswell currently tops the Whoscored charts for the Lions with a stunning 7.08 rating. His aerial ability (4.8) is head and shoulders above any player in Leeds ranks, yet the jury is still out whether he'll be ready for the Premier League by next season.

Joffy can go out on loan if we sign a forward that's ready to go. So he will be staying then

Pleased for Cresswell but reports on him have been mixed. He will definitely benefit from a whole competitive season at the Den

 

Joffy needs to stay as we have no backup for Rodders. Lest loan Paddy out instead and get some idiot to pay some of his wages. The good news plebs from your leader is Ive gotten a good deal on the private jet for the month of January for my good friend Victor. Printing up a case load of IOU's this week for him for his travels. We might get lucky this time and some sucker might fall for it

 

Hey elland what about the good news of pascal signing on till 2027...... hopefully he has been told a centre back berth will be included

 

It was mentioned yesterday, but good news indeed.

 

exactly - it’s an outrage - as if ‘scoop’ Ell would rehash old news

 

that must have been on a fake news site yesterday

Sounds glorious should we start to believe godlike one?

 

Morning all

going to be some movement out of the club in the next few weeks. We already hear Drameh will be sold plus Klich will also be sold. Now hearing Alfie McCalmont is past his sell by date and will probably be loaned out for the rest of the season with a buy option as he is still contracted to 2024. Will Forshaw be shown the door?but now also hearing that Joffy will go out on loan for the rest of the season to a championship club and there is a que of clubs wanting him

 

If we loan out joffy who will cover sicknote and rodrigo? Perhaps wee jimmy can be an attacking ten type but he's no striker.

 

Ive been researching Mr Revies exploits and I see he's managed with a squad of about thirteen or fourteen. Ive instructed Victor to get rid of at least ten of our squad in the January sales. Shedloads to be saved I promise to spend it all in the summer

 

Didn’t revies lot win the league and a few cups? Smart thinking to replicate success il presidente

 

Lukic at £13m is a marquee signing for Leeds

Joffy is a gamble on loan, if he struggles in Championship it could fk his confidence completely and then we need to look at selling him ... he's a proper talent, I'd keep him at club for now and get him fit first, then give him minutes off bench

Cresswell right to leave at Mi'wa' for rest of season

 

They certainly did and you’ll be pleased to know I’ve had the silverware valued recently for insurance purposes

 

Thought Ken had it safely stored in Monaco?

 

Think the story about Joffy if true means we get another striker in next month, so doing the one in one out routine again

 

Yes in a shyster proof vault

 

Ahh the hokey cokey routine

 

Nice one i can watch for free fa cup v cardiff
