John Oster wasn’t great on loan for us - but at least he scored that goal for Grimsby at Wolves which opened it all up for our promotion.
And the opposite to this, is Chris Lumsdon was a great loan signing. But he was awful when we signed him to a contract lol.
he's too lightweight and lacks the confidence to run direct at defenders. Because he goes sideways he gets knocked off the ball easily, if he went past a player directly, then he's clear to make progress - but that means be willing to give it a go. He has skill but has to believe in himself more.
Brian McCord. Amazing on loan. Absolute turd when he came back permanently. I reckon Derby actually sent us a different bloke back.
Gnonto May be the best young player worldwide at age 19. Gets better every week. Him and Harrison make it worthwhile watching Leeds.
Are you really saying this?! How many times have you seen him play? He's played 7 games and scored 1 goal? Musiala is head & shoulders above him. I'd go as far as saying he was the only decent german player in the world cup.
I've seen Gnonto play a few times in the Premier League. The best league in the world. I've seen him finish brilliantly and I've seen him ghost past players who are no mugs. And put excellent crosses in. I've seen him pass at just the right time to play team mates on side that have led to goals. Just my opinion, but he is a real talent. Post again when we know where his next journey starts. He's going to be massive.
I don't disagree with you that he's a fantastic talent bud. There's a reason bigger clubs than Leeds were scouting him. Can't see him staying very long. But no way can he be labelled best 19 year old in the world, especially after such a short amount of game time. Hachim Mastour, Bojan, Pato, Macheda, and even Januzaj were all supposed to be superstars after absolutely smashing it when they all made their debuts in their teens. Loads of players have looked magical and then went on to have mediocre careers. It's far too soon to label him anything after such a short spell in the premier league so far
Yep well pick out a 19 year old in the premier league right now who is comparable in terms of talent And i'll have a look.
Did he/Wilkinson score for us on the opening day of season '15, at Chesterfield ?. We went on to lose that game, but it did turn out to be a memorable season after all.
