It is very unusual for a team in the Premier League to loan a player to another club who may well end up in a similar position as them. We may aim to be a mid tier club but we're not yet. There's no guarantee we won't struggle. If we decide to loan White to Leeds and then they stay up and...
I don't see any way that Brighton will loan him to Leeds. There is no logic to it. Giving a quality player to a potential rival for nothing but a loan fee. It makes absolutely no sense. He'll either be playing for Brighton or go to a big six team, if one of them wants to take a punt and pay a...
It is interesting to hear a different view about Ben White. All I've seen from Leeds fans online and pundits is that he is going to be the next England centre back and is already a brilliant Premier League player (despite never having played in the Premier League). I've never totally bought into...
In an ideal world, I completely agree. The money is a concern though, especially in terms of wages, where we don't tend to pay that high. We can part fund a transfer fee potentially by selling one or two players where we have a lot of options (maybe centre back or central midfield) but paying...
I would be surprised if we paid close to Peterborough's valuation for a League 1 player. Hope we're looking in the Championship (maybe Ollie Watkins) or in Europe instead.
Agreed. And we have real competition at centre back especially, with Clarke, White and Ostigard all due back. And Roberts also looking promising. Funny how we've always had lots of quality options at centre back.
Will be interesting to see what happens with Gyokeres too. I thought he did okay...
We got Webster for a similar amount and, while he was one of the best defenders in the Championship last season, I never heard the talk of him from fans/pundits that I've heard about White. He was also a couple of years older last summer than White is now. So I'd be surprised if the valuation...
It is quite funny. Leeds fans constantly show themselves to be amongst the most arrogant in football. I think a lot of them think they are going to walk back into the Premier League next season and be near the top.
Their squad isn't actually that strong in Premier League terms currently. There...
Agreed. Another of the promoted team going would be sad and he played a huge part that season. Was a real shame for him to get injured at the start of our first Premier League season, although he came back to do okay after that. Definitely better options available now but a fantastic player for...
I actually rate Montoya and think he's had a decent season but he's definitely been in and out of the side and substituted a few times, so wouldn't be surprised to see him go. If he does, I would be surprised if we don't keep Schelotto, as we have other priority positions to focus on for...
It will be very interesting to see how much we invest this summer. There are definite gaps in the team, which would be good to fix. But maybe that is a reason for letting someone like Duffy go, if he's not going to be a regular, and replace with White. We could then use these funds to buy...
You are misreading everything people put to spin it your own way. Would people be happy if we were still in this position after three or four years under Potter with most of the team being his signings. No, they wouldn't. Are most people happy with us being 15th after playing better football...
We've already scored as many goals as we did in our first season up and one less than last season and we've got seven games to go.
I am not sure exactly what you expected him to do. We've clearly played more attacking football. We've had more possession and dominated teams but the final...
I assume one of Steele and Button will leave (assuming Walton is second choice, it will probably be Button as he won't want to be third choice).
Defensively, I'd probably keep everyone except Schelotto. But I do think that they might let some of Montoya, Bernardo and Duffy go. Montoya has done...
I thought he was brilliant. Hopefully a sign of things to come with us being able to attract young players like Lamptey who see us as a good place to start playing in the Premier League
You seem to be incredibly harsh on Potter, Alzate, Burn. Why not attack the whole team?
Alzate definitely contributes in attack. He's not scored yet but he definitely offers something going forward. He's got into good positions but just needs to get a goal. He's had a fantastic season and would...
I had same thought so looked up too. Subs made at half time don't count. Rule is to stop time wasting so I assume that is why they don't count half time
The comparison to Caroline Flack is rubbish. She didn't make the rules and then think she was above them. She was hounded by the media awfully. Cummings is finally getting a bit of focus from the media. He is unelected and unaccountable. And if this was a Labour party advisor, he would be first...
You can be sanctimonious and try to take the moral high ground all you want. You would be the first on here on the attack if this happened to Labour while they were in power. And the right wing media would be far worse than anything Cummings is facing.
The hypocrisy of the right wing is...
Are you saying that anyone who voted remain is not allowed an opinion on Cummings then? Yes, a lot of people hate Cummings for what he has done to this country. A lot of the divisions and anger has been caused by him. However, in this case, it is simply people have made massive sacrifices to...
