    If we go down I feel he will be a very important player for us if he stays. At this level he doesn't offer enough of a goal threat to force a regular start. If he isn't scoring he doesn't offer much else. He lacks pace so can't stretch a team. Isn't a threat in the air so can't be a out ball either.
    It's up to players to force their way into the team. Look at McBurnie, he's playing out of position and still getting the goals.
    I'm not sure what style or formation would suit Bradsahw or what his strengths are?
    Now some of that may be down to our inadequacies in all departments.

    If Bradshaw is on Leeds list for the summer it just shows how far Leeds have fallen. I like Bradshaw but he cannot even get into the starting line-up of the 3rd worst team in the league (hopefully 4th worst by seasons end ;))

    How long has he got left on his contract?

    If it's only a year, we need to either move him on or offer him a new one.
    If he'd been given a chance up front with Moore I'd have a clearer idea whether we should keep him or not.
    I certainly think those two in L1 would be an effective strike force. In the championship I'm not sure.

    I know,I remember last Summer people suggested we buy Leon Clarke and there was outrage on here. Terms like "Donkey " and too old ,spring to mind,not our type. I understand he's had a steady season for his age.

    Would have thought with what’s gone on with clubs we will be playing hardball with Leeds over any player transfers. Although he perhaps knows the terms of certain players deals. Releases clauses are a specialty of Heckys don’t forget.

    Leeds fans would lose their minds if they signed Bradshaw from us I'm pretty sure they want a bigger name than Bradshaw they are totally underwhelmed with Hecky they don't like us and if they signed one of our reserves they would explode.

    I was trying to defend him but yes I agree with you about horses for courses & Clarke.

    Barring the odd exception like Sheff Utd & Cardiff most only play one striker & I can’t really see Bradshaw ever been a top championship striker as a lone striker.

    No reason to say he can’t be effective in a 2 or as an impact player
