First of all , Leeds fan here coming with peace and good wishes. Not stupid enough to enter the most active Brighton message board in the net and try to take the piss , so hope I can get some good banter going with regards to Ian Westlake !
I belong to the minority of Leeds fans who felt that Westy should not have been sent out on loan ,especially to a playoff rivals who had loads of games in hand !! Now , it hurts to see him perform wonderfully by the sounds of things and race past us in the table
We ve played Westy in the middle last season and out wide this season. During our fantastic run at the start of the season , Westy had a good role to play as a left winger but people always moaned about his lack of pace and power. I'm surprised now when I read your player ratings thread that all of you have credited him with good pace !!
Shows how badly the lad wanted to play competitive footy again and prove some people wrong ! I ve always rated Westy and even though he is not a natural winger , he is a versatile attacking midfielder who puts in a good shift unlike most players with such skill who tend to be lazy.
What is your take on Westy then lads ? We paid near 1 Million to sign him ( Harding costed us around 700k and Ipswich wanted an Extra 350k !! ) and I thought he would be our prime player in league 1. Can you afford Westlake if at all we decide to sell him ? How good has he been for ya ?
Good luck for the rest of the season ! If we continue to play as poorly as we have been off late , then I can see Westy returning to us sooner than later ! It's good to see him enjoy his football with Brighton instead of rotting in our reserves behind some rubbish players.
Heres hoping both of us reach the playoffs with the help of Westy
