Your World Cup scouting: American attackers and Swiss starlets
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked you which players you have watched at the World Cup that you think would be a great fit at Leeds. Here are some of your comments: Mark : I liked the NZ forward Just. Good value for money, can score goals and plays well off a good centre forward like the one we have. Martin : Cristian Jesus Martinez, Panamanian midfield player who impressed me when playing against England. At 29 years old, he would not cost a lot. As a back up player and maybe as a surprise buy, he is worth a couple of million. He gave 100% in the England game. Kevin : Leeds are searching for a new goalkeeper and I think Pat Beach from Australia ticks all the boxes. A strong shot stopper with excellent feet and commands his area. He's young and could continue his development alongside Lucas Perri. Michael : Australian left (and, in last WC group game, right) back Jordy Bos from Feyenoord. Used to playing in a back five for national team, left footer with great pace, stamina and all-round athleticism, as well as skill. Pops up for goals and assists. Would give Gabby a proper run for his starting spot. Ben : Thelo Aasgaard, aged 24, of Norway and Rangers. With his creativity, link-up play and finishing, he would be a great addition to bolster competition in the midfield. At 6ft 2in he also fits the physical profile Leeds are looking for, with his best years still ahead of him, and would probably come in on budget. Noah : I think the two signings should be two forwards - Balogun and Gannon-Doak. Balogun would be a great starting player to replace Nmecha and Piroe. Gannon-Doak would be a great backup for Wilson (when the signing goes through). Callum : Brobbey's got the grit and skill already expected from anybody on the pitch at Elland Road. Add previous Premier League experience from Sunderland, and I think he'd be a perfect replacement for the absent Joel Piroe. Matt : Balogun - would add significant pace and firepower. We can't rely on DCL having another injury-free season. Eric : Manzambi impressed when brought on as substitute against Bosnia, scoring two very impressive goals. He has pace, a willingness to take on players, great movement and link-up play. And he takes first-touch strikes. Probably not within our budget though!
