Keeper - great on the ball and that is vital for us. But like peacock Farrell, not convinced about his shot stopping
Ayling, might not be the quickest, but what an engine, and that is vital for our style
Dallas - same as ayling, but not being a left footer is a negative.
Cooper - good leader, good on the ball, and while got done in the air for one of the goals, is good enough
Koch - I really like this kid, got the attributes for this team. Not Ben white but am happy
Struijk - I like this kid, big unit, good on the ball, doesn’t look overly mobile though. Think he play as DM, at times this year
Costa - started on fire, lovely goals and really nice attitude
Harrison - getting better and better. I only just realised he’s English and not American last week 🤦🤦
Klich - the prem seems to really suit his game, I wasn’t sure it would be going to get some goals this year
Phillips - not starter well, players are a lot quicker in this league and it’s caught him out
Pablo - game is a lot quicker in prem, might catch up with him
Roberts - thought he was excellent today in two different positions. Just need a long run of games and no injuries. Not sure that will happen sadly
Rodrigo - shown nothing, will need games, let’s hope he does
Alioski - played well today, after being dogsh@t on Wednesday
Bamford - excellent, all round game, as been vital for us. Just need to clinical. Can see getting 15 goals, which will be needed.
Because the team is so likeable, it’s hard to want to replace them. But we do need a couple of better players
Pros and cons so far keeper

I think another CM is definitely needed. There will be games when Pablo shows his value but we can't rely on him as a starting player this season given his age and step up in quality.
Another creative midfielder who can get goals would be massive.
It won't happen but I'd love 3 more signings - a 3rd centreback (possible given Berardi is out), a winger and a centremid.

I think Milner might join you, possibly as early as January. He's going to find games limited this season, with no more covering at left back and Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Thiago and Keita all ahead of him.

Don't talk nonsense.

Obviously a great player still with a great engine but not sure if it would be the right move for Leeds. 34 years old, has played in deeper midfield roles/left back in recent years.
I'd rather a younger, more dynamic midfielder.

Milner hasn't played in deeper midfield roles. He has normally played in a midfield three and rarely the deepest. Of course as mentioned he has also filled in at left back. Also whilst 34 now, there's not many younger and more dynamic midfielders than Milner. Not sure he could do a full season, starting every game but wouldn't put it past him. He's the perfect back up for Liverpool with his versatility and experience but I get the feeling he won't be happy with that.

This transfer window we needed
GK CB CB LB ST
We have a CB and ST which for me still leaves us short of GK CB LB.
We have plenty of options at left back but i think its a position that we could easily strengthen the team on.
Strujik is currently 3rd choice CB, Casey/Davis 4th. Personally i dont think this is strong enough and injuries here would kill our season.
Casilla should have been sacked by the club and sent packing. A great opportunity missed of culling a poor keeper on high end wages. Meslier is decent with potential but i think this league needs better. Casilla is certainly nowhere near a Premier league keeper. He wasnt good enough for the championship. Meslier we havent yet seen as much of yet but for me hes better than Casilla. Dont agree with those saying he should have done better for goals 1 and 2. The third he was indecisive - either come and go all the way or dont. he neither put the forward off and was not in his goal to try and make a save. A bad error and it was nearly 4-4 - could have been costly.
Poor transfer window so far

Lewis Cook and Milner would be great additions

One too injury prone the other not sure we would get value for money on his wages. Would need to take a 60% pay cut
posted on 20/9/20
Would Milner start ???
Infront of phillips - No
Infront of klich - No

Clearly the fact you didn't know who Colin is indicates little football knowledge.

I expect Milner to see out his contract at Liverpool, he’d have to take a huge cut in wages at Leeds and as others have said would he be a starter. It’s a lot easier to look good at Liverpool with all the quality around you. It’s a no for me, and no to Delph, Cook, Rose, Smith and the rest of the old boys that get mentioned here regularly...although they have found David Harvey on a remote Scottish island and I’ll take him back 😂

Harvey has moved off that island now i understand. Maybe he is heading back to Leeds
