You mentioned there that a replacement could well be needed. We are in the final stages
00:05
of the transfer window, only a couple of weeks left of January. Is there therefore a full
00:10
backer priority in these couple of weeks?
00:13
Yes, I think it has to be. Daniel Farker said post-match, I think after the Cardiff game,
00:17
there are a couple of areas where they're a little bit light, but he was very wise to
00:20
the fact that the January market is a tricky one to deal with. Managers always say that
00:25
and that is the case really. I think it's one of these things that will probably just
00:28
go right to the end of the window in terms of who they're going to get in. You would
00:32
suspect obviously there's loan spaces in the squad, so you would suspect if there is anybody
00:35
to come in, it will probably be a loan from a Premier League side. To me, it would just
00:39
make perfect sense to get somebody in, a full back who can play both left-back and right-back
00:43
and if you can get two in, then fantastic. But then again, they're not just going to
00:47
go willy-nilly and bring anybody in and obviously there's no point in bringing people in who
00:49
aren't actually going to strengthen the squad. Obviously, the Jed Spence situation was complex
00:55
obviously with what happened there. That was obviously followed by Luke Ayling departing.
00:59
They have lost two full backs, that's the nuts and bolts of it. If you've lost two full
01:03
backs, then obviously you would think probably try and get two full backs in. That seems
01:08
like the obvious area really. Always been talk about a number 10 at Leeds, getting a
01:12
number 10 option in, but I mean, Routier is now dropping back into that position and looks
01:15
pretty well suited by that position. Maybe they're all right there, centre-back possibly.
01:20
But I think full backs is the obvious one, along with obviously Daniel Keating, what
01:25
they've got. I mean, that is just as key, if not more so. I mean, obviously you have
01:28
the fantastic news about Archie Gray signing his new deal, which is brilliant. But I mean,
01:32
obviously people like Somerville are obviously going to be looked at. It would be interesting
01:35
to see what happens with Willy Nonto. He's an obvious one really, purely because he's
01:38
not obviously getting probably the game time that he wants. I don't think there's any signs
01:41
of him being unhappy or anything like that, but it's natural that he'll want to be playing
01:45
games and he is a big talent. So, I'm sure people will look at him as well. So, I think
01:48
it will go right to the end, yeah. But basically my message would be obviously try and hold
01:51
on to what you've got and obviously get at least one full back option and I think that
01:54
would make sense for everybody really.
