gs and sales - your transfer window priorities

- Published

We asked for you to tell us what Leeds need to do in the summer transfer window.
Here are some of your comments:
Clan: I hope we don't fall into the trap of g 30-plus out-of-contract players who have been 'let go' by other teams. Yes, we will need experienced PL players but not ones who are already a yard off the pace and are usually injury prone!
Mark: We need to bring in established Premier League quality players. I would get Kalvin Phillips back where he belongs and Callum Wilson would be a good solid addition, as well as an experienced goalkeeper.
Andrew: We have a lot of attacking options, so the frontline, barring another useful, proven striker, doesn't need much improvement. The midfield should be built around Tanaka, and we desperately need a quality attacking midfielder to hold the ball and create/score goals. Bogle will need back-up in the RB position, and depending on who moves on we may need to look at wing-back options. The goalkeeper situation is an interesting one. Meslier is an excellent shotstopper but other aspects of his game are lacking. Darlow is a great all-rounder and has played in the Premier League. If Meslier moves on, we either need to trust in Darlow and bring a quality back-up in, or go the whole hog and sign a proven, high-quality goalkeeper.
Gary: First on the list of outgoings has to be Bamford. I can't understand why he is even in the squad, let alone being used as a substitute. Should have gone two seasons ago. Harrison next out of the door followed by Aaronson and Meslier. First g has to be Solomon, followed by the two deadly strikers we have needed since we were last promoted. It's vital to give Ramazani his chance and have Pirou as back-up.
Mark: We need to forget about 'marquee gs' because we can't afford the wages - yet. For this summer, it needs to be top prospects in their early 20s and decent, Premier League battle-hardened free agents in their early 30s. We nail five or six of those and we stay up. Forecastable income... and then we can start paying the big wages and look to creep into the top eight. It's going to be hard.
Mel: We all know we need to strengthen in certain areas on the pitch. The problem will be attracting players who know they will be in a battle all season to avoid relegation. We can't afford to have injury-prone players. We may be able to get some experienced ones with an incentivised contract ie. if we stay up they get a big bonus. I'm sure those searches/negotiations are already well under way.
Ian: Keep Manor Soloman, but don't pay more than £20m for him. A new goalkeeper, centre-back, number 10 and centre-forward needed.
