Not if we're bringing in more, similar players who are already more experienced. Far better that he is developing whilst playing than not getting game time.

I trust the club implicitly.
He's Leeds through and though.

Not a chance there’s a buy option in that. He’s only been here since January. He was brought in as a young prospect with lots of hype, no chance after 6 months & few appearances we’re binning him off.

Really can't face dealing with these chumps again. Why can't we sent him to a decent club with a decent fan base. Bristol City, Norwich, Plymouth. Why Leeds?

I guess they fit the profile best of the teams who registered interest.
- will he get game time in the correct position?
- will the team be competitive playing at a good level?
- is the play style at all similar to Brightons?
- will he be able to communicate given his relatively low level of English (ie are there Spanish speakers there)?
- what other teams came in for him?
Leeds aren’t my favourite team but if he knocks it out of the park there, comes back to us a better player and leaves Leeds fans whining again, all the better.

What has slightly altered things here, I think, is the amount of game time these players – Goodnight, Ayari, etc – got at the end of last season. If we had a fully-fit squad – and no cup run – they wouldn't have been anywhere near the starting lineup, so would probably have gone out on loan this season anyway, as many of the young pups have done and will do in the future.
As well as they did for a few games, a full season at PL level is a different story. Give them the valuable experience and then they'll come back better/stronger – see: Mitoma, Caicedo, Adingra, etc, etc, etc. Definitely ones for the future – I see potential in all of them

It’s going to be a long, hard (and probably cold) season. All hands will be needed at the pump. I hope Bloom hasn’t thrown RDZ under the bus with this move.

There's actually only one source for the Leeds loan. And its not a very credible one (based in Argentina)
Its true that RDZ has mentioned he "might" go on loan this season to guarantee game time but as ever i think Twitter is getting a bit carried away. (and then NSC has joined in)

All hands will probably not be needed. Hence Sarmiento playing for West Brom, and Ayari off to Coventry.
If we fail to make the CL, this is on Tone.

Interesting summary of Buonanotte's potential loan to Leeds from a Leed YouTuber - a guy that knows his stuff

I still think we will sign a new winger this summer. Hopefully Cole Palmer.
If not it's a big risk allowing FB to leave with the added fixtures.

Don't know what everybody is so worried about. Buonaotte is a ten who has been played as RW. Currently in those positions we have Enciso, JP, Welbeck, Adingra, March, Lallana, Gross can play there, Peupion hasn't gone on loan yet, Lamptey is staying and could offer more as RW than at RB currently. It would take an Injury crisis of truly momentous levels to get anywhere near the point we looked desperate. We've also been constantly linked with players that are left footed but can play RW (Kudus, Palmer). AND Mazilu comes in in January.
Players like Sarmiento and Buonaotte need to a) get used to the physical side of the game and b) start nailing down their best position. That won't happen playing the odd league cup game. They won't be playing U21s so they literally wouldn't be playing unless this catastrophised injury crisis happens.
We have an impeccable development system here. It'll be alright.

Summer rumours suggest there's Interest in Palmer. Sounds like it's largely down to him. Does he think he will get enough minutes at City? I'd argue clearly. He's already scored in both their 'cup finals' this season and he played more minutes than most of our youngsters last year, but the noise from City seems to suggest he's open to leaving.
Worth remembering we do have Mazilu coming in in January who despite being a baby looks an outrageous talent and is, of course, a left footed right winger.

Looks as though they are close to bringing in a new winger though, so would push him further down the pecking order.
Yep, good news, he needs a good loan. If not Leeds, hopefully we've got another Championship level or foreign equivalent league side lined up.
