da fazobetai: Leeds are lingering in the wrong half of the Championship at the moment and are in desperate need for some inspiration in the remainder of the transfer window to keep them afloat in England’s second tier.
da bet sport: The drop is a long way off for the sleeping giants, but the club will be wary of dropping off into a relegation scrap and the one victory in their last six league games hasn’t left too many Leeds fans harbouring much optimism for the second half of the campaign.
The chaos at the club doesn’t seem to be stopping and it is hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Leeds fans at the moment. Steve Evans wasn’t a popular appointment and the manager is continuing to be questioned by fans and pundits alike.
Kyle Lafferty could be the level of signing that could change the path of Leeds’ season and fire them into a more secure position in the table.
Here are FIVE reasons that Lafferty would be an ideal signing..
Euro Dreams
Lafferty will want to prove a point before the Euros this summer and the Northern Irish striker will be extremely motivated to prove to the national management that he should be leading the line.
Short of a goal..
No Leeds player has registered more than eight goals this season and, naturally, that would suggest that you are probably short of a striker in your squad.
Wood and Antenucci have only provided 13 goals between them this season and Lafferty would certainly add to that.
Relegation looming
Although the points difference might be quite large, Leeds’ current form would suggest that they could slip down into the relegation dog fight.
As ever, strikers who can guarantee you goals, like Kyle Lafferty, can pull any side away from the relegation zone.
Options
Chris Wood carries a lot of responsibility in the front line this season, and it would make a huge difference to the club if they could have the option of playing Lafferty as well.
Fresh hope
With the recent sale of Sam Byram, Leeds fans are feeling horribly negative about the second half of the campaign and the signing of a player like Lafferty would help cheer up the Elland Road faithful.
Such a big stadium can be a huge positive for any club and creating some fan momentum would make quite a difference.
