Rudolph Austin

[BensGrandad]

We were said to be after him in the summer and again in January but although I thought that he was Leeds best player IMHO we have done better with Kayal.

 

[leigull]

Definitely their stand out player last night. Looked great in the holding role to start with then pretty decent when pushed further forward. Good pace and strong with a nice touch to boot. Let down by a lot of his team mates. Very happy with Kayal but Austin would have been a great signing too on last night's showing.

Crofts out - Austin in = Ideal

Crofts out - Austin in = Ideal

That would be a solution if Crofts doesnt come back as he as it is his 2nd bad injury.

Assuming that we play 3 central midfielders next season, that's Kayak, Ince and one other. Stevens? Crofts? JFC? Personally I don't think we need to use any of next season budget on a CM'er, unless Tex can be bought or secured on another season long loan.

Really didn't think he looked that great, I think there are better out there in the summer than Austin.

Not a bad player, but not sure I see him adding too much to the current team.

 

[The Wizard]

Thought he looked totally average myself - game of opinions I guess.

Luke Murphy had a lot of the ball. Leeds were the best team in midfield this season in the Championship at the Amex. Not sure who was responsible for their ball winning competitiveness, but Ince played well, just did not show so much because of the quality of the opposition.

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought that generally Ince was below par last night and did not show anywhere near as much as usual. Really dont know what game Persus was watching saying Leeds the best midfield in the league this season.

I thought that generally Ince was below par last night and did not show anywhere near as much as usual.

I would agree with that, he was very quiet, gave away quite a few silly free kicks also.

I can forgive him of that as he has been truly excellent the last 10 games or so.

Cor some have short memories on here.
Just because he's currently carrying a knock, I believe the midfield maestro that is Kemy will be ready to run our midfield, next season.

Isnt he out of contract in a couple of months.

I'm sure he has triggered an extension clause, by now

Yep 200 re-tweets earns him a new deal

Really? I thought their midfield was absolutely non existent considering they played 4-5-1, Middlesborough & Brentfords midfield stands out in my mind and there is no way Leeds were better than either of them.

got to say I thought their best player looked to be bamba... very quick and strong as a centre back; would love to have him here

He looked slow and ponderous to me - a player past his sell by date.

I agree but put in a couple of very good last ditch tackles.
