    Not in the official first team squad pisted on the Leeds website mate. But remember last season there were no kids but this time there are 9 promoted so guess Perkins will get a chance

    Nothing to do with me, go question the bloke in charge of posting the squad and players photos on the official site. Perkins not there but Gyabi is?

    Just seems a bit odd to come here to play in the U21/23s when he was getting first team chances at West Ham.

    I know and I heard the club say Perkins has come to play for the 21s but will train with the first team and will get a chance to break through this season?

    Number 20 leaves the club, Costa gone on loan with £4m buy clause.

    Here's my take on the ins and outs so far.

    IN
    Aaronson
    Rocca
    Adams
    Christensen
    Sinisterra

    OUTS
    Phillips
    Raphinha
    Roberts
    Shackleton

    That's 5 in and four out...not the 6 in and 2 out which we were fed by Radz & Kinnear doing their media rounds last week.

    If Radz wants to count Gyabi as an in then surely that's balanced by Cresswell as an out ?

    Are we stronger ?

    Yes and no because we won't miss Phillips but Raphinha could have taken us to a whole new level with Aaronson and Tyler Adams in the team in way Sinistera probably won't.

    Robles signs today too so goes into the first team squad as experienced third choice. I see where you’re coming from Jammy but we needed midfielders and we brought in 3 plus a winger and a defender, so I believe we are stronger at the back and in the middle.

    Costa has made 23 PL appearances, Poveda 14, true that was in our first season back but they’ve still got more PL experience than the new signings. Are the new signings better, first impression yes.

    We’re stronger because it’s a Jesse team so there is no need for the Phillips role but hit us with just 2-3 injuries and it wouldn’t look great.

    Costa valuation is £4.5m which is what we’re getting with the loan fee and a guaranteed £3.9m at the end of the season. Costa now gone for good hes somebody elses player now. Remember his valuation next summer would be less as going into the last year of his contract so getting todays market value is great

    Jammy this kid is special and is named as a first team squad member and this clip from the other night against Derby shows why Nd why Bate has gone out on loan

    Gyabi has everything needed to make it at a high level. He is big, strong, quick, good acceleration and can pick a pass. Just needs a little bit more awareness and experience and he could turn in to a first team starter in a couple of years.

    Well I for one will wish him all the best and thank him for being part of the squad that got us back to the premier league. I certainly won’t dig him out for the heinous crime of not being quite good enough for that level of football.

    He had a bigger contribution to our promotion season than many give him credit for.

    He was a good signing.

    I know I'm rarely controversial but I think that by the end of this season Firpo will be getting more respect, Rodrigo will get at least 8 goals, Aaronson will be worth more than Raphinha, Greenwood and Gelhardt will be getting regular starts, we'll see more of Perkins and Joseph and, Gyabi will be fighting for a starting place.

    I don't think we need a LB or a striker, although you can never have too many, and I think we've got the most exciting squad we've had for years.

    I just can't wait for the next game.

    But, we're Leeds so it will all fall to bits like it always does.

    I notice Kinnear has stuck his nose in again and trying to downplay expectations, by saying Bamford and Gelhardt are great….. last summer he said dont worry we have enough in midfield and then Radz said hey wehave a new midfielder in Forshaw. Do these people never read the room or learn lessons?

    I concur. To not get a striker in January was a huge gamble which probably should have relegated us.

    To not get a striker in this summer is negligent plain and simple.
