I would have thought that parents being responsible for their children is a principle applied everywhere.

Sadly not BD. Good on Leeds for trying to do something

Injury update:

Bamford back

Still injured

Phillips
Cooper
Shackleton
Rodrigo
Struijk

New injuries
Roberts
Geldhert

Both out for 3 weeks

FFS



Lets hope we get some good business done in Jan. 7 players out still and several with lengthy spells on the sidelines.

That`s really bad news about Gelhardt and worrying wrt Rodrigo and Struijk.
For the next league game it will look like:
Messlier
Drameh, Ayling, Koch, Firpo
Forshaw,
Raphina, Dallas, Klich, James
Bamford

I`m not sure letting Greenwood or Drameh go out on loan is a good thing at this stage.

I'd expect any decision on loans to be made at the end of the window, but yes, it wouldn't be wise to loan anyone out at the moment

Why wasnt Leeds in for Trippier? £12m for an England international who wants to live in the North of England sounds like Leeds shouldve been all over him.

I doubt they see right back as a priority position. The money will be used on the spine

You have just conceeded 11 goals in 2 games. Right, Left and centre backs should absolutely all be a priorities if a quality player is available and Trippier is a good player in my opinion. £12m absolute steal with todays prices.

Goals aren't just conceded by the defence. It was clear before the season that our midfield didn't have enough quality and depth. Defence is fine when they aren't all injured and it's chopping and changing each game. There isn't a bottomless pot of money for the club, so they'll need to be smart with any purchases. We need players that can make an immediate impact

Agree with both. 12m is a very good deal for an England player. I think generally we are quite well stocked at the back.
I don't think it's the games where we conceded 3 or more goals that will cost us this year, it's the ones we lose instead of draw or draw instead of win because we don't show enough that worry me
