Potential January signings

[Stadt]

Would add a much-needed goal threat too. His record speaks for itself:

2000-current. Everton Apps: 259 Goals: 0 (0)

Scored in his testimonial though

[Albert]

I see Bolton have announced 163m debts and are looking to offload players.

I'd take Chris Eagles in a heartbeat

[Lineker's Left Foot]

I would take Eagles but unsure why he never played against us the other day

[Tielemans63]

Eagles is at the beak of his career but he's nothing to crow about. (sorry)

Stop trying to be funny by winging it paddy,

Not bad going forward but very weak defensively, wouldn't touch him.

You should be tarred and feathered for that comment

Max Alain Gradel

 

With a mooted return to Leeds in the offing does anyone else think he would have faired much better under the current Nigel Pearson than the one who had to sacrifice style for substance in the first play off push?

 

With Knockaert given free reign to do what he wishes and reported interest in another French (Algerian for the pedants) tricky wide man would attack and be brave Pearson be the perfect manager for Gradel now?

 

I would like to point out I dont want him back as he'd cost way too much, I'd just be intrigued to see how he fared in the side. Dyer on one side and Gradel on the other.

 

EDITED TO SAY nor would I start him over Knockaert

[Sampson]

We'd probably be worse off with Gradel in the side over Knockaert. 

[Guest MattP]

Wouldn't play Gradel over Knocky or Dyer.

My mate who works at football radar and covers Ligue 1 said to me its a bit of a myth that he's been brilliant since joining them and hes actually considered quite average.

Hoping we'll be a premiership side very soon and if that's the case we should be aiming for a higher standard of player than him.

[Jimmy]

would love to see him back, him and Knockaert in the same team would  mean a lot of goals

[Kitchandro]

He wouldn't get in our starting 11 at the moment. Having said that anyone who wouldn't have him in our squad is crazy. He took the piss for Leeds in this league.

[Bettsj2]

Anyone remember the 'Where's Maxi Gradel?' Call on the phone in about a year after we sold him?

Would be good but can't see how it's justifiable that vardy gets dropped. I genuinely think wickham or becchio on loan is good, realistic signing if we can do a deal - even if only for a few months.

Also was donkey auto correct or are you just not a fan of Konchesky?

[ScouseFox]

Currently I wouldn't drop Dyer or Knocky. 

 

There will presumably be a time when a different option (one as good as Gradel can be) would be terrific, though. I love Knocky to bits but he has off games and occasionally gets taken off without doing much at all, if we had a Gradel to bring on instead of a (God love him) GTF we would have already won this league. 

 

It's not gonna happen and he's not gonna come back but to answer the hypothetical question, yes, he'd look even better in our side now than he did in the old side or in any Leeds side he played in. 

[ramadaone]

Please not Patrick Bamford. He went to my school and he's really no better than Waghorn.

Well he won't stay on loan at MK that is for sure

Why would you make so many changes to a team that is four points clear at the top?

I wouldn't drop Vardy for Wickham or Becchio.

[phillo]

shane long on loan

[cc_star]

would love to see him back, him and Knockaert in the same team would  mean a lot of goals

For all Knockaert's plus points his lack of pace means his workrate isn't great, despite his huffing, puffing making it look like he is & his passion of course which automatically gives him a +99 rating.

Unlike Dyer, Gradel's never was either

I think we'd see our fullbacks horribly exposed and a lot of goals shipped too

Gradel would be a potentially good asset in the squad though

[ramadaone]

Please not Patrick Bamford. He went to my school and he's really no better than Waghorn.

Going to Derby

Not sure if that is good news or not ?

[Fox92]

I wouldn't want him over Knockaert but I'd like to see him back. Said since we lost Marshall that we've needed a decent right midfielder, and Gradel could be the player. Mind you, with my idea that would mean dropping one striker because I fancied Dyer -- Knockaert (behind) -- Gradel.

[Stocker]

would love to see Max back my favourite player in league 1 season

[ramadaone]

Connor Wickham for me, 20 years old, bags of potential, we need young hungry talent, we don't want over-paid has- beens.
