Dirty Leeds

Quite intrigued by Flemming. Big, strong fucker who's good in the air and occupies defenders.

Goal output isn't great historically, however he was previously used as a number 10 (to my knowledge) but was moved to centre forward last season and bagged 11 prem goals in a poor Burnley side. You'd think that goal output would translate to more in our side if the worst comes to worst and DCL gets crocked, and he also seems to have a better all-round proficiency than Nmecha in the CF role.

Dunno much about Carlos Espi but he's a unit. 6' 4" and muscular. 11 goals in 26 appearances in La Liga last season. Only 21 yrs old.

Various links to Carlos Espi from Levante.
Would certainly fit our profile for a target man. 21y/o. 6’4”.
Nothing concrete so far.

Now linked with Madrid by the transfer nonce. Guess that’s that then. Just please don’t shit the bed & sign Delap for the money Chelsea are asking.

I'm surprised loads arent in for him. Seems a good investment opportunity with the €25m release clause. They'll probably loan him out so he gets game time to increase in value.

Yeah fuck Delap. I liked him at Ipswich but after watching a few Chelsea games last season the lad was utterly useless. Like fucking embarrassingly bad. Dunno whether it's a confidence thing or a pressure thing, but it's not worth finding out.

In terms of the Trafford deal ‘dragging’. He is on a mandatory 21 day break post WC. So could be another week yet.
