We need at least three quality players in or we will struggle all season again. Our defence isn't good enough, our strikers aren't good enough and we need a quality creative midfielder as well. We are still linked to Bamba, I hope we get him, I think with him our defence might just be ok. Worrying times.
We are Leeds, we have to believe our new players are good enough, encourage and support them and help them grow in to a team to be reckoned with. MoT

It's the 10th of June. It's seems a little early to be labelling the current times as "worrying". Rosler's still getting his backroom staff in, and a lot of players are currently on holiday. There will definitely be more movement in the next month and half.

Has Bamba rejoined? Saw somewhere that an offer was made but no decision from big Sol yet?

Adam Pope said earlier that a deal seems to be about done, with various news sources reporting that we've agreed a two year deal with Bamba, but we're yet to receive confirmation of Bamba signing on a permsnent. Perhaps tomorrow. He's currebtky on holiday, which may cause a delay, but it's been suggested that he'll sign the contract electronically.

With the players on this list you do have the spine of a fairly good squad but definitely not the finished article as yet, we do need one more CB, two wide players and a good quality mature player in midfield to keep the young ones in line as youth in big numbers can lose its way more often than not.

To me, we already have a really good squad (including the youngsters) - and every new quality player is a bonus. We have the quality already to pushing for promotion. :thumbup:

Really looking forward to the new season with what we're doing. It may be a year where we are looking forward not over our shoulders for once :clap:
