I tried to explain that to someone the other day.
Now either I did a piss poor job of explaining my point or they were a fudging idiot (tough call) as they couldn't see it.

The team could get relegated.
Sell £50m+ worth of players.
Yet still start next season with the same 25 man squad from the previous season.


It's almost as if there's a plan.


It is entirely possible, they just glazed over Stat - sorry you were saying?

Mansfield Woodhouse, actually.
I agree. Duffy is out of contract and there doesn't seem to be any sign of a renewal, at the moment.
Funny how there have been no threads about him running down his contract.

Is he playing on a match-by-match basis now?

I suspect it was the former.

It is good to have it confirmed by Potter that we CAN recall White if we have a defensive crisis in January.


So all the rubbish coming out of Leeds about White having played too many minutes for a recall is just Fake News.

Football Weekly podcast:-

'on loan Brighton centre back Ben White is a Rolls Royce of a defender'.

Berbatov ?

Yeah do you know what as soon as I posted that I realised I was posting absolute bollocks. It's got quite an interestingly loose definition though, beyond someone who just 'oozes class'. They can be pretty much any sort of player

There are obviously loads of non-defender Rolls Royce players. Alonso, Scholes, Lampard, Zidane, Berbatov, Henry. A quick google reveals that even John Obi Mikel was given the accolade.

Ignore me

Ah a wet Sunday afternoon and Leeds fans think they're keeping White.

Lovely

I’ve just stumbled across a Leeds thread on Twitter, Phil Hay of The Athletic has asked fans for their Leeds XI off the decade, an awful lot of them have got Ben White in the team despite having only played 17 games.

It's incredibly petty and mean-spirited but I REALLY hope we recall White just to see the Leeds fans go into meltdown.

Not worried about Leeds but I do have a nagging feeling that he is our most talented defender. I think he is more of a prospect than both Connolly & Alzate. White-Dunk-Burn at the back makes a lot of sense come January.

As much as we’d like him back in January seems pretty clear now that’s not going to happen. Recent quotes suggest the club will let him finish the season at Leeds come what may.

Personally, I’d recall him and off-load Burn.

Burn was very good early on, but really just isn’t quite good enough.

When he does return I have a feeling there may be some rather unrealistic expectations. His progress is good but remember he is only playing for little Leeds in the lower leagues......He needs to be back at the Albion with premier league players around him ASAP.

Wingers are often described as ‘flying’.
Not wingers like Darren Currie though.......... he was Beckhamesque.
