Apart from the obvious problems with LD that have gone on for years, think we have to remember this is a WC season which is being held in Brazil.

Having the opportunity to play with his Samba mates might be appealing but he will want lots of game time and not sure he will get this if RS stays fit and if Ade not sold.

Can you imagine if Liverpool really bid for Leandro and we come in for him last minute after flogging off Adebayor? I don't think the Liverpool supporters could handle it. I really don't. I fear for their sanity's

Keep saying it. I'm certain we'll make one more attempt for him as deadline approaches.

Late on parade here & seemingly lost amongst the Willian drama is this from yesterday:

Don't be surprised if we finally get Damiao.

Adebayor & Defoe are being hawked around by Baldini.

AVB wants them both gone..

I've been expecting it to be honest. Deadline week/day would be boring without someone to be after. It'll be Damiao this year, and I think we may pull it off if one of Ade and Defoe leave before then.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naw, I'd be cool with Leandro if it happens. The great thing is with Soldado in the team, we're not desperate for him. If he comes, he comes.

I'd only take him if both Ade and Defoe are off, i'm not sure Ade and Defoe would be happy with being 3rd choices o_O

Still think you could have LD, RS and JD as your strikeforce. Neither JD or LD would be 3rd choice but both would be different options at 2nd choice (either to start or come on as a sub). Could imagine LD would be able to play with JD or RS if we ever do go 2 up top.

I've been expecting a deadline day punt of we could get one other gone. To be honest, if we could pull it off and AVB does really want him, I say go for it. No issues over gametime, think he could be rotated effectively with Soldado, abc even paired on occasion, as although they are effectively both No.9's, I think Soldado's ability to find space could work well off Damaio as a partner for a tactical alternative.
I did think we'd need 3 strikers this year, but of we sacrifice Defoe and Ade for LD alongside Soldado, I'd take it. Give Kane the backup slot or go after Rebic. If we have Lamela(?) and Chadli as backup alternatives too, I'd be happy.

If Willian is off. Reallocate those funds, plus Ade and Defoe fees, to LD and a cheaper Willian alternative like Ljajic, Todor or Eriksen.
Wrap up the window with Bale, Ekotto, Ade and Defoe out, Lamela, LD, Coentrao, Chiriches and an AM in.

Seems to me as long as Ade is being paid he'll be alright. Already turned down a move due to wages I think.
