If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.
Poch to Turf Moor
Jan CB
Summer a CM depending on wij situation, if we stick with keita, someone that can score from outside the box and a bonus would be decent at free kicks.. or score in general
someone in, with shaqiri/origi out
Elliott I am hoping can be that player.
Salah/Firmino/Mane/Jota/Minamino/Elliott doesn't look too shabby in terms of pecking order. I wouldn't say no to someone else of course, but I think that is a set of six that we could work with, especially as we can occasionally use Ox in the front three as a push.
Would also (in terms of priorities) free things up for a position elsewhere. Gomez for example has missed - may not be the exact figure - 33 games in the past 3 years - that's nearly a whole season. Ideally we would get a centre-back that pushes Gomez down the pecking order, or at the very least can compete with him.
In terms of the midfield, Keita may have missed 29 games in his time with us, but Ox (in his defence he had an ACL) has missed 69 games in the last 3 seasons. If there is a midfielder out there with an injury record more like that of Wijnaldum I would be absolutely all over that, though selling someone to make way won't be particularly simple. Ox and Keita for example may just have to be on the books until their contracts run down.
I'm just pointing out where they are in the table. New owners will be pumping a lot of money into the club. They won't want to start their first full season as owners of a championship team. Leeds have only just got back in after waiting 16 years. I'd rather they avoid the drop, as they are a north west team.
