2022-23 LUFC Squad

[Chilli D]

I had no idea Tom Pearce and Tyler Denton had been asked to find another club.
I always thought Pearce looked decent. It just goes to show how fortunes can change for young players.
Who knows, the same thing could happen to Jack Clarke if he fails to reach the standard he set when he got into the first team.
But I doubt it.

[Brader]

Tom pearce fell down the pecking order - Especially as davis looked to be the back up from the youth. He wont find it hard to find a club thought with his international caps.

Its not a bad squad.
If we can add a quality CB and a proven CF, without losing any more key players, I think promotion is a real possibility.

If we cant replace Pontus, lose KP and Roofe, and have to rely on the likes of Bamford as our main source of goals...
we're f@$*£d!

[Brader]

I think a lot of people are going to see a different side of bamford this season. His goal tally last season was decent for his minutes played, the Lon injury didn’t help and was clearly rushed back to fill the roofe injury. You could tell how off the pace he was for the last few games - the fact he mentioned he feels he’s only just getting up to fitness this pre season tells you all you need to know.

I’m not sitting on the fence and marking him down to bag 20 this season

I sincerely hope your'e right man.

Ragardless of your thoughts on him - I really hope we don’t see much more behaviour like last night at York. Fully grown men screaming “f**king s**t” at him when he’s 10 yards away for a throw in - it’s embarrassing.

What an embarrassment and probably never played a game themselves.
I have a feeling he is going to really bang them in this season and make some people eat there words.

Finally starting to get the ich for the new season..... gee it's come around quick.
Taking the young lad to Sydney next Weekend to watch his first game and how appropriate Leeds vs Western Sydney.

This is our Season just getting a bit nervous about Kalvin Phillips.

Denton has been sold for an undisclosed fee.

Denton has been sold for an undisclosed fee.

I was awaiting confirmation from the club - now updated.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include the sale of Sam Dalby to Watford.

Shame it didn’t work for him as he looked promising but I did wonder if he was good enough after he couldn’t get into the morcambe team on Loan

Couldn't get in the Morcombe team but has been signed by a Premier League club!

[Brader]

The destination doesnt mean anything if they cant live up to the potential.

[Gandalf]

Updated with sale of Hadi Sacko to Denizlispor.

[gessa]

Cibiki on way back, Elsborg can't afford the fee Leeds want for him.

[Brader]

Oriel Rey has left for Spain.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include sales of Samu Saiz to Girona and Oriol Rey to Real Valladolid.

[BGwhite]

Players in bold are pretty certainly u23 players unless a crisis occurs.

Removed players who we know are injured for the first month at least like Roberts, Roofe and Ayling.

Also removed players who are even further down the pecking order and are certainly u23s and u18s.

So is it two senior players per position then supplemented by youth players?

GK-Casilla and Miazek (think BPF is off)

Rb- ? (Dallas) and?

Lb- Douglas and Ali. (Leif Davis u23 backup)

Cb (×4) Cooper, White, Berardi and? I would say Struijk but he hasnt actually been given a squad number neither has Edmondson.

Dm- Phillips and Forshaw (McCalmont u23 backup).

Cm- Klich, Shacks.

Am- Hernandez and ? (Bogusz as 1st u23 back up.).

Rw- Costa, Clarke

Lw- Harrison, ?

St- Bamford ? (Edmondson has no squad number so maybe Kun as u23 backup).

So do we think that is it for the first month as it stands?

Thats 16 first team players, then Ayling, Roberts and Roofe are missing so that would be 19.

Still 3 short which isnt far off the 2 that we voted for in the needed signings thing?
