I would rather we invest the £1m elsewhere. Our midfield is the strongest part of our team, heck, it's probably one of the strongest in the league.

seems a bit ambitious for us and i doubt Arsenal would let him go because they are in desperate need of players right now. Surely Norwich would have got him for the prem if he was available.

Might be correct Going Up but I have seen a lot of comment from managers of various clubs saying not much is actually happening in the transfer market because clubs are waiting to see what squads the PL clubs go with, so maybe the end of the month will see some movement.

Sounds about right for Leeds signing a player on a position which means someone kicks their heels on the bench.

Proper right back needed please!

Agree proper right back and push Lees into the middle, although can connolly not be given a 2nd chance as i liked him last season.

He would be a fantastic signing.

No he wouldn't Yorkie he'd be a fantastic signing if he wasn't a midfielder, we do not need midfielders.

I think we still need one. Who comes in for Clayton or Howson. Brown? No one else can play in the middle.

Need 4 good central midfielders. Could always make the room for him.

Nunez is a central attacking midfielder who can play winger and forward.

agree with you yorkie, a player like Lansbury will improve us, he was class for norwich last season, also agree we need a RB, i reckon Eric will come back, connolly is not good enough.

Would still rather the £1m be spent elsewhere. Midfield is not a priority.

Sorry Lansbury instead of Howson in the team!

666 and others...I just wonder whether he sees Lansbury as one for the future, in the same way as he saw Clayton.

I know it is a bit of a stretch given Lansbury has actually got some experience over the last couple of seasons albeit away from Arsenal whereas Clayton had pretty much no experience beyond City Reserves.

So perhaps he sees him as someone to be used occasionally this season and then in place of, say, Brown next season and beyond.

Lansbury certainly has some finesse and an Arsenal schooling that will have instilled passing skills and a good temperament and an intelligence.
