Correct the plan originally had some wriggle room. Simeon Jackson, Kevin Long, Adam Hammill, Mills, Pinillos etc but once Hecky left and the new owners established themselves this changed.
Bielsa decided to play him at left back. That’s not his natural position, he’s better deployed in midfield. Someone I know from Leeds, knows the lad very well and says he’s an unbelievable talent, hope we can see it come to fruition
So James wants to buy some experience whereas the owners are obviously against it, have i got that right? James must be very disappointed with everything going on
Basically, these owners are only interested in £££££ which I was heavily criticised on here for saying in the summer. The warning signs were there last January when we sold Potts for £1.5m and probably paid £200k tops for Jordan Green. In a way they probably won't be too fussed if we go down this season as they would expect us to rebound at the first attempt (top 2) and then the sales process can commence again (rinse and repeat). The only issue with their plan is if we really struggle in L1.
Don’t get it cause apparently before we got him, qpr and notts forest were looking at him too My contact is an ex pro and coaches in Leeds. Mainly black players, knows him, Wilks and Mottley-Henry very well. Has a bit of a relationship with hassell and has been working with him on this deal for some time, so wasn’t really Stendels signing - was more u23s Needs some game time as he was highly thought of at Leeds
